Big news tonight, but look down ballot 👀:

Republican-held seats in the Virginia House of Delegates will go from 48 today, to just 36 +/- in January. The last time Republicans held fewer than 40 seats was after the 1987 election.

38 YEARS!

A complete repudiation of Trumpism in Virginia.

Proud of The University of Virginia for rejecting this authoritarian bullshit! Hopefully my alma maters Vanderbilt University and the University of Texas at Austin will also refuse. #NoKings

Next year in addition to my high school math classes, I will be offering a college credit dual enrollment course on Government and Politics.

I am currently auditing this *free* class from @harvard.edu and have completed the first two units. So far, it's terrific!

The Chief Justice authored the 2024 Decision in Trump v. United States that grants former Presidents absolute immunity from prosecution for actions within "official duties."

Now Roberts complains that the "rule of law is endangered" and blames Civics teachers?!
