I absolutely adore Jeff McKay What do you like about him? I'm still undecided on that race. He consistently supports our efforts on gun sense. He's serious about promoting equity in governmental decision making. Hs supports common sense improvements to our schools including uni ersal pre k. I can keep going 😂

While I have a ton of support for Joyce Vance and Barb McQuade, I don't like the look of the committee calling two NBC contributors as witnesses bc it makes it look partisan

Mitch is gonna be so piiiiiiiiissed Two questions: Why? (I feel I obviously missed something.) Will it make a difference, other than him frowning and moving on with his obstructionist day? I'm behind but some other GOP Senators have said Cucinelli is a no-go for a nomination. So Trump is sticking him in as an acting, temporary director to gin up some currency with the racist base and avoid him getting voted down directly.

WP headline: Former Trump chief of staff Reince Priebus joins the Navy
"First, I expect that he will be quickly promoted. Second, I don't think it's a coincidence this happened immediately following the Mueller report. Priebus kept his fucking mouth shut. This is his reward.
And note it was Pence who personally swore him in."

And not only that, but the fact that Republicans use 9/11 as an excuse for so much, but they turn their backs on giving the first responders they are always praising? Fuck.
That room was embarrassingly empty.

The point from that LA congressman Jon argued against, that congress has to make sure there’s money for things like earthquakes/hurricanes too, is so dumb. Congress isn’t doing their job there either. Look at Puerto Rico. Or the willingness to threaten to cut off or not give aid to states that didn’t vote for Trump. It is absurd and I was so moved by Jon’s speech.

Dick Saslaw is at 49/45 on his Commonwealth Senate Seat right now in the VA Democratic primary. That's hugely consequential. He's part of the furniture in Richmond; He's been in party leadership for nearly half a century. I'm supposed to support him bc I'm an Alexandria Democrat but, honestly, I've never forgiven him for defending Ralph Northam so immediately and vociferously during Blackfacegate. And I am HERE. FOR. him getting primaried from the left by a Muslim woman. Pdq

“The North Carolina woman who police said accidentally shot and killed herself inside a Ruby Tuesday restaurant has been identified as an elementary school teacher. Police said Moore was eating at the restaurant when the 9mm Smith & Wesson gun in her purse fired, hitting her in the stomach, the Independent Tribune reported.” www.newsobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article231439203.htmlExhibit A of why arming teachers (and other non-properly trained individuals) is a bad idea. I hope to God she wasn’t carrying that in her classroom.

So much for "responsible gun owners."

Well Saslaw won his primary by only 500 votes. Hopefully that's enough to make him realize his district is more liberal than he is.
We also primaried a Commonwealth's attorney who opposed Gov McAuliffe's effort to restore voting rights. Bye, Felicia.

The next election for his seat should be interesting.

The WH has asserted executive priv over the census documents.
but they are TOTALLY the most transparent administration in history.
Also Rep Cummings is PISSED at this.
He has that voice where he doesn't even have to yell and you just feel like you have completely failed.

I'm seeing a lot of headlines (to opinion pieces) that 45 and the GOP leadership are trying to figure how how to "punish" Amash.
