I might have to stay off Twitter today. The narrative that delaying a vote on an enormous package of legislation from a totally artificial, self-imposed deadline is a catastrophic failure is making me want to light my phone on fire.

Anything to try to make the fight between progressives and moderates.

I may have also tried to get into the area because I wanted to creep around in the dark, but it was a terrible idea and just ended up meeting some guys who wanted to sell me fireworks. Ftr i was not by myself. Just lost with friends.

This was me yesterday with “we accepted the best of a bad deal” crap from our redistricting. No, you didn’t want to be uncomfortable for a year with elections, so now we will struggle for another decade instead. If there would have been transparency, not just more than last time, maybe, but it doesn’t make it actually transparent.

Apparently Bart has rona. He is fully vaccinated and asymptomatic. Am I a terrible person for hoping he gets long covid?

I’m struggling to stay positive with everything happened img here in the past 2 weeks. Though it doesn’t really change much for anyone outside the state, it feels helpless with stuff like this.
We are a red state with no voter id laws. The twin senator sister referenced was placed in her seat by the governor. She is now leading the charge on getting voter id enacted. We have no voter fraud, but since it is all about voter fraud in other states, we must fall in line with the talking point. And when I say she, I mean he, the governor runs her seat, she is the face.

Jen Psaki spends an unbelievable amount of time answering sideways questions about political strategy. There's an odd fixation with trying to frame everything this White House does as a defeat or failure. I don't remember this being quite so pointed and consistent in previous briefing rooms.

There was another round of clarifications and rule making released yesterday so that might be what she is referencing. But it’s all part of the same law that was signed by TFG and is being implemented by the current admin.

Today I convinced a self professed Republican to at least look into a Democratic delegate and their positions and consider voting for them. She was pretty loony but very nice. No elections are being decided by drawing lots on my watch.

No elections are being decided by drawing lots on my watch. Thank you for doing this. I’m…not feeling confident based on the local signage. I’ve seen exactly one McAuliffe sign in a three hour radius and a lot of Youngkin. Everyone I talk to says they’re voting for M, but he wasn’t their first choice.

I live in deep sapphire blue NOVA and there are so many Younkin signs Signs don't equal votes but I am so, so nervous.

The reporting and tweeting around BBB is an absolute dumpster fire. Apparently some people just completely ignored the fact that the two bills were on parallel tracks. This is not a surprise. Nobody lied or broke promises. Yes, legislating is messy.
