This is an unprecedented time. Lies and conspiracies are rampant.

I read what you read. And see the desire for someone new.

New voices. New faces.

We need more scientists in Congress.

Let’s fix things now. And protect the future for Virginia's 1st District.

I have worked in media and science since the mid-1990s.

So it is easy to spot a performer and a liar.

Vance is both.

Good on ABC for cutting him off.

And do remember the facial expression on Stephanopoulos as they cut to break.

He is done with the performative bullshit from this Ohio clown.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I’ve seen posts claiming this “truth” is evidence of dementia, but IMO that’s not the right frame. This is strategy. Since 2021, the right has been rewriting history, bending timelines, to connect their grievances (Covid) and conspiracy theories (Jan 6, censorship, etc) to the Biden administration.

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 6h

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

JD Vance is a coward. He sold his soul for a seat of power. He sold his soul to someone he called “Hitler” to advance his own career. JD Vance is everything that’s wrong with our politics today.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3h

WELKER: Is the DOJ acting on orders from the president to prosecute his political opponents?

JD VANCE: No ... You know who we haven't prosecuted? Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton ... he's allowed to have opinions about law enforcement

Amen, I say to you:

Many of us grew up in the church being taught to root for Moses, Daniel, and John the Baptist in the Bible, only to grow up and have our churches question our faith for not cheering on the Pharaohs, Nebuchadnezzars, and Herods in our world today.

Peeking at the weather data this morning...

Early signs for this Saturday in RVA suggest a day with sun and clouds, calm wind, very low humidity, and an afternoon around 70 degrees.

Similar conditions up in DC.

Sunday morning RVA weather brief:

Cloudy, breezy with occasional light rain and drizzle. Holding in the 60s.

Energy to produce this storm is effectively forcing it to consolidate into two coastal areas: NJ and SC.

As a result, our rain in RVA will remain light and sporadic today and tonight.

Republicans feel empowered by their leader's autocratic coup against the Constitution to pursue their most cartoonishly evil agenda items, like literally making it easier to kill seals and whales

Republicans try to weaken 50-year-old law protecting whales, seals and polar bears

One of the U.S.’s longest standing pieces of environmental legislation, credited with helping save rare whales from extinction, is the subject of an effort for cutbacks from Republican lawmakers who now feel they have the political will to do so

Trump, Wittman, McGuire, and the Republicans are using the Republican Shutdown of the government to END federal special education services for students with disabilities.

They don't want special needs students to get what they need to succeed in our schools.

The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

If you go to some federal websites right now, this is what you see.
