@RestonNow If only anyone had seen this coming.

@MarthaStewart Is there a reason you have a non-native callicarpa as opposed to the native one? I think japonica is more cold hardy, but will americana grow by you?

Many birds + small animals rely on the fall harvest of berries + seeds. They provide calories + crucial nutrients that help them thrive during the colder months. See the seeds, berries, and cones on my farm on today’s themarthablog.com.

It’s insane that Democrats have offered almost no outreach to explicitly non-religious Americans when we’re just as vital to their success as conservative Christians are to the GOP. (And yes, there are ways they could do it!)

@GerryConnolly For Gerry:

I wish I could understand why so many Dems in Herndon were passing out ballots for Reyes. He vowed to donate a portion of his salary to a pro-life group and teaches in a Christian school that is homophobic.

Don’t be fooled by misinformation at the polls today: real Herndon Democrats are supporting the @FairfaxDems nominee @PradeepDhakal11 .

@notbentribbettt @ElectConnolly @NailaAlam9 Are you Chuck Janks?

@ElectConnolly @NailaAlam9 What does Gerry have against Muslim women? Does he know Mike Lloyd?(speaking of no shows, has anyone seen him all election season?) Unbecoming of a congressman to stoop this low in a local election and disparage his own constituents. Which all of these candidates are. Shameful

There’s nothing democratic about working for insurrectionists who tried to overturn the election. Why are so-called Democrats like No-Show @NailaAlam9 and Michael Lloyd allowing their names on a sample ballot with Clark Hedrick?

Stevan Porter ran for Congress as a Libertarian in 2018, where he opposed expanded background checks and any common-sense gun safety proposals.

Current Vice Mayor Clark Hedrick is a professional Republican, a former Trump administration appointee, and presently works for Senator Ron Johnson, one of the architects of the effort to overturn the election in 2020.

Rafael Nadal, thank you for everything.

I discussed how human-caused warming has created increasingly dangerous and damaging storms like #Helene & #Milton with @DrJasonJohnson on @MSNBC's @TheReidOut this evening:

NEW: Tim Walz will appear on the SmartLess podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. The interview will record tomorrow and is set to air sometime in the next week or so. He will also be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tomorrow. via Deadline: deadline.com/2024/10/tim-wa…

If Trump is reelected, Justice Alito may retire. Justice Thomas too. Trump would then be the first president in more than 50 years to appoint a majority of the Supreme Court. And not just a "conservative" majority — but a MAGA majority. SCOTUS is on the ballot this November.

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

Meanwhile in Chicago.

Let us be clear.

@notbentribbettt @notlarrysabato Dhakal had more votes than LeBlanc in Council election in 2022, when FCDC did not endorse. He also won with no endorsement in 2018, when FCDC endorsed others. He won with endorsement in 2020, but that's 1/3 of times he has won.

@notlarrysabato Dhakal knows he can’t win without the sample ballot. del Aguila lives to divide and destroy. Does Garcia even live in herndon? Will Alam bother to attend meetings? Ramesh is a conspiracy theorist wacko. And who the hell is Lloyd???

This is like the 5th election in a row in Herndon where the contested candidates endorsed by Jennifer Boysko and Irene Shin lost. Something is really going on here.
