Every voter in the Fifth Congressional District needs to know this. This is the doing of John McGuire!

hThanks to Tr*mp, Wittman, McGuire, and the Republicans, at least 300,000 Virginians are at risk of losing their healthcare coverage thanks to the Big Bad Bill (HR 1) they supported. VOTE.THEM.OUT.

Thank you, Governor Spanberger.

UPDATED: Quadaire Patterson is one of more than 66,000 people who've had their voting rights restored by Gov. Abigail Spanberger. “The restoration of rights for me has not been solely about me voting,” Patterson said. “It’s been more about restoring, repairing and growing communities.”

This sounds like a positive move.

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

Someday, dictionaries will have a little picture of Donald Trump next to the word “failure.“

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 12h ago

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.

Day after the primary feeling:

“I trust Tom.” I treasure the trust hard-working folks across our region have put in me. I promise to work a double-shift every day in Congress to bring down your costs, clean up their corruption, and bring all of us together to get things done.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Thank you, thank you, Democracy Docket!

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

And thank you to Suzanne Krzyzanowski and @tracinski.bsky.social for running a positive campaign! We hope you’ll continue your work to flip the fifth!

Congratulations, Tom! Folks, join us Thursdays at Brazos Tacos, 5:30 PM-7:00 PM, to volunteer to get Tom over the finish line! 

The pedophile-protector party is going to confirm President Epstein’s personal lawyer to be the top cop in the land. We have reached peak pedocracy.

Thank you, Virginia. Now the real work begins.

Reproductive rights are in peril, in Virginia, in blue states, in every state. 

Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social · yesterday

Something telling: Blanche said the DOJ is working so the "Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state"—making clear they never saw Dobbs as giving abortion 'back to the states', but a tool to ban abortion nationwide

"And this November, we will make history. By voting YES on Questions 1, 2, & 3, Virginians will protect reproductive freedom, repeal our outdated ban on same-sex marriage & restore voting rights to those who have completed their sentences." - @donscott757.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/08/live...

Well, Pete Hegseth told the generals “Your job is to kill people and break things.”

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed

The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

New reporting indicates the U.S. has used “virtually all” of our precision long-range missiles during the Iran War. We’re running low on critical munitions and spending millions every day this war of choice drags on.

The hard-working Haitian immigrants have saved the town of Springfield from economic decline. And this is how they are treated.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

The Cville Dems are neutral in the primary, but we would be very glad to promote information about any watch parties in and around the town! 

Tom Perriello for Congress@tomperriello.bsky.social · yesterday

It’s primary night! Join us at Kardinal Hall in Charlottesville starting at 6:00 PM for a Watch Party with Tom Perriello. Come hang out and follow the returns live with Tom and the team!

Good afternoon Virginia! Today is Primary Election Day for this year’s Congressional races! Get out to your local precinct today and make your voice heard!! More information about voting can be found here: www.elections.virginia.gov/.../election...

Kinda hard to argue with this.

Jennifer Shin - WTAF@jennifershin.bsky.social · 2d ago

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

It’s Election Day! Let’s go @tomperriello.bsky.social !

Well, at least it was for a completely lawless and pointless cause.

NEW: I just introduced a bill that would crack down on Trump’s new $100,000/month fast feed of his market-moving Truth Social posts. We must stand up against his rampant corruption.
