Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Shannon Taylor has won the Democratic primary for Virginia's 1st Congressional district. She will face off against MAGA Republican Rob Wittman in one of the most competitive House races in the country.
So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...

Gloucester Democrats congratulate Shannon Taylor on winning the Democratic nomination in Virginia’s First Congressional District! Now we unite to win on November 3rd and take back our government so it works for us and not billionaires! We have *only* 90 days until election day, let's go!
This guy worked on Trump's first campaign. He'll be running against Mark Warner. lulz

1️⃣ Rob's got the endorsement he thinks might save him (it won't). 2️⃣ Literally everything Trump says here is wrong.... 3️⃣ ...including the idea that Wittman is on the ballot today. Trump has no clue what's going on. If you love Trump, vote Wittman. If you love America, vote anyone else. #NoWittman
It's official! @shannontaylorva.com is our next representative for #VA01. Congratulations! Now let's get to work. 💪 The Thursday newsletter will feature a comparison between Wittman and Taylor. Get it in your inbox: www.wittmanwatch.com/subscribe.

VPAP has released early voting numbers and while the state-wide number is down from 2024, it’s up by 63% in #VA01! Now why might THAT be, do you think? 🤔 An excellent indication of enthusiasm and engagement going into November! www.vpap.org/elections/ea...
For the first time in 19 years, #VA01 is a real toss-up race. Today's primary decides who carries that opportunity forward, and the work we start tomorrow will enhance their chances to send Wittman packing. Vote today, and unite to beat Rob Wittman! #NoWittman
Today we vote; tomorrow we unite to beat Wittman
You can unwrap your gift tonight: it’s a Democratic nominee for VA-01!

The new FiftyPlusOne election forecast says Wittman is struggling against a to-be-decided Democrat. Understand this: their forecast model says that ANY Democrat beats Wittman 60 times out of 100. The Dem primary election is tomorrow. Choose your fighter! fiftyplusone.news/forecast/house
#VA01 needs more clean, affordable energy. Rob Wittman supports Trump 100%. Trump *illegally* increased the cost of our new energy project, and we regular Virginians will probably pay for it. We can’t afford Rob Wittman. He increases costs, fails to produce new jobs, and defends Trump. #NoWittman
Trump tariffs added over $800 million to Dominion Energy’s offshore wind project
The news comes as Dominion also announced a delay in completion for CVOW, though it's already generating power.

If you don’t approve of Donald Trump, then you don’t approve of his Republican enablers. Every Republican in the House and Senate votes with Donald Trump over 99% of the time. Show them how you feel about that with your vote in November!
Fighting corruption requires getting at the root cause of it. Otherwise, you’ll only treat the symptoms and not the problem. You’re not willing to fight corruption if you’re not willing to tackle it at its source.
On Nov 3 we vote out Wittman - and assure reproductive rights, marriage equality, and the right to vote in VA through three constitutional amendments. These are as vital as beating Wittman! @lwvva.bsky.social is holding a free webinar on them. Sign up now! secure.ngpvan.com/ciqc-bdopkKW...
Did Trump actually want to win the 2016 election? Because he seemed as surprised as anybody that he won. Or did the Russians pressure him into it? Listen to our interview: https://loom.ly/2dQLmb4 #oligarchy #dictatorship #dictatortrump
I remember when Bill Clinton met with the Attorney General for three minutes when Hillary was being investigated for mishandling classified information, and the republicans cried bloody murder. Now, the AG nominee is covering for pedophiles and that seems okay. WHAT THE FUCK?
Lindsey Graham was on his way back to Washington, DC from Ukraine to close the deal on new Russian sanctions and advocate for Ukraine to be allowed to produce Patriot systems locally. He dropped dead at an opportune time for the Kremlin. Who is left in Trump’s orbit to push those urgent issues?
Iryna Voichuk@irynavoichuk.bsky.social · 4d agoUkraine intercepted only one ballistic missile last night because the country has run out of missiles for its Patriot systems. In Kyiv, nine people were killed and 30 injured. Every delayed decision eventually arrives in Ukraine in the form of death and destruction.
Almost 4 months ago Congressman @repgaramendi.bsky.social wrote "We need to look at all options for removal immediately, including impeachment" Does he not know what the word "immediately" means? 'cuz here we are 4 months later and he ain't done sh**

Wittman's "survey" on defense spending: pick your favorite pre-written answer, all of which say "spend more." He's Vice Chair of Armed Services asking you to rubber-stamp the bill he's already shaping. No box for "oversight" or “end the war,” just a fundraising list with extra steps.
