I just asked my Congress Critter the same basic question. Why did he vote to cut Medicaid while cutting taxes for billionaires. Especially considering a larger number of constituents live in Virginia's Northern Neck. The Northern Neck is the eastern portion of the state between the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers. Culturally it's similar to the Thumb in Michigan. An area that relies heavily on farming and subsidies like Medicaid. That's essentially his back yard. I don't expect to hear from him

He'll blame it on Biden or Obama

New mast on the WP. Democracy dies is Bull****

Wasn't that how Musk got to stay after he lied his way in on a student visa? An E-B5 before actually gaining citizenship.

How much money did those deficit hawks spend to ban half a dozen people?

Goodbye Medicare. Social Security is next

Second best would be to scare a few republicans into voting against devastating healthcare and other programs

Mixed opinion about this. Don't fight, but oppose. Make the Trumpublicans assume ownership of everything until it collapses. My question is then what and then who? And if Democrats do so make sure the beast is dead (not literally, but the movement is wounded to the point it would take years to make a comeback)

There is a war brewing inside the executive branch

“The Ministry who are both foolish and wicked, think by depriving us of Assemblies to take away the advantage that results from united and collected counsels. But they are grievously mistaken. In despight of all their machinations, public Councils will be held and public measures adopted for general security. Still we hope that the proceedings of the last Continental Congress when communicated to the people of England will rouse a spirit that proving fatal to an abandoned Ministry may save the whole Empire from Its impending destruction.” Lee tells his brother of the willingness to fight throughout British America. Even Virginia’s Ohio frontier is ready to provide “the most formidable light Infantry in the world. The six frontier Counties can produce 6000 of these Men who from their amazing hardihood, their method of living so long in the woods without carrying provisions with them, the exceeding quickness with which they can march to distant parts, and above all, the dexterity to which they have arrived in the use of the Rifle Gun. Their is not one of these Men who wish a distance less than 200 yards on a larger object than an Orange. Every shot is fatal.” buff.ly/40IfKxk

Speaking of Virginia, Gov Trumpkin is using the "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" approach by initiating a new campaign "Virginia has Joba" with an this website https://virginiahasjobs.com https://virginiahasjobs.com/2025/02/19/click-here-for-resources-if-youre-an-impacted-federal-worker/ https://virginiahasjobs.com/northern-virginia-public/ Great job Glen.

Hiram Rhodes Revels, a Republican from Natchez, Mississippi, is sworn into the U.S. Senate, becoming the first African American ever to sit in Congress. During the Civil War, Revels, a college-educated minister, helped form African American army regiments for the Union cause, started a school for freed men, and served as a chaplain for the Union army. Posted to Mississippi, Revels remained in the former Confederate state after the war and entered into Reconstruction-era Southern politics.

A bit more from the poll's press release https://www.roanoke.edu/news/rc_poll_politics_february_2025

A large portion of Northern Virginia are government employees. Many of which are facing the fact that at least one member of the household either has or will probably losing a job. Throw in the edict that requires federal workers to return to the office full time after a large portion opted to move to areas like Richmond, Charlottesville and their suburbs because housing prices are more friendly to those with families. Throw in those with farms who are seeing subsidies they've counted on for generations threatened to be cut. I think the state also has its share of "halfbacks" retired folks who left NY, Pa, Ohio and such who found that Florida, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina were not what they expected are moving into the state as well. This Falls state election will be interesting, too early to tell and a lot of election fatigue here, but I think there are a significant number of voters who were not thrilled by Youngkin and Earle-Sears is a devout Trumper.

I just wonder if there is another FDR or some unifier out there that can actually put the country back together after everything completely collapses. Just feeling super pessimistic today. But the next in line after Trump doesn't seem much better. And Congress.....
