"Spanberger's office had no comment on her decision not to reappoint (ABC chief executive officer) Farino."

Add it to an ever-growing pile of topics on which @GovernorVA has declined to meaningfully engage the press or the public.

More than 25% of United Auto Workers membership now consists of unionized graduate students.

Also a good reminder that late ballots only favor Dems depending on what order the ballots are counted in (e.g. mail first, early returns first, election first, etc).

This is the on screen graphic from that night. And that exact time. Thanks.

I actually don't have a problem with what the NFL has been doing- we've never had a right to every game unless you got a paid subscription service. But doing it for the Home Run Derby in MLB is absurd and a terrible decision.

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

Every kid in this country should be able to watch the Home Run Derby. You shouldn’t need a goddamn streaming service

[Jared Smith @jaredsmithbets]

Today is a good day to gauge whether or not you’re addicted to gambling. There really isn’t anything worth betting on. The new HR Derby format has sucked the value dry. The World Cup isn’t until tomorrow. Are you capable of going 24 hours without placing a bet or does your carnal urge for action overtake your rational brain?

@AdamGreen @jbarro I think he used to be a reporter.

@GNeinstein @LibertyLockPod they don't mean blow up literally.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

@nagy_minaj Shocked you posted this with the memes that will come from it.

[Clint Russell @LibertyLockPod]

OK get your tinfoil ready.

Graham inspected a drone factory in Ukraine yesterday. Russia blew up that facility today. Then, tonight, it is announced that Graham is dead from a "sudden illness". No more details

I'd say there is a decent chance that Russia blew up Lindsey Graham.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

They said this lost in the last game because it took extra time- so wasn't too bad when Switzerland just scored since it was already dead.

So close now I can TASTE IT

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Emily’s List didn’t endorse Mallory McMorrow in the Senate race, and also the term “sloppy seconds” when referring to female candidates is truly gross.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

@akela_lacy Wait DSA just found its most successful firm after years of losses and theb started a boycott because one didn’t work out? Self own of epic levels.

So close now I can TASTE IT

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

They would like the Mt. Vernon area in Fairfax County a lot better where many members of Congress and other senior officials have homes. McLean is out of style now and Middleburg is a pain to get in and out of.

[Henry J. Gomez @HenryJGomez]

Arrangements are afoot for an additional residence for Vice President JD Vance and his family in Middleburg, Virginia.

New tonight from @NBCNews

Soccer Twitter is something I’ve clearly been missing out on. Hotter than hot takes.

[Institute for Hispano Studies @hispano_studies]

Brazil was better when their players were womanizers, drunkards and slightly out of shape. In other words, when they were behaving like Catholics— letting the power of friendship and good fun do the heavy lifting.

Evangelical Protestant sterilization has flattened their ball, ruined their samba, and obliterated their swag.

World historic aura loss.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

I did not hear Platner say he was dropping out in that video. I heard him say he intends to drop out and then made demands the process be fair.

Translation: an open door if he doesn’t like process or selection that he won’t file the drop out paperwork.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

@CJohnStella I disagree. He runs as an independent and Dems don’t run against him and endorse him instead. He caucuses with the Dems and is treated as one on the Hill. How you get on the ballot is a branding issue to me only.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

Progressives like Bernie and Warren don’t hate the party. They are trying to improve it. Plenty of establishment AND progressive candidates have turned out to be fuckups that should have been vetted more. Not everything is an ideological fight. Leave that to the GOP.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

@neeratanden That's not fair- Adam is a great Democrat who has helped a lot of really good people get elected.

[Elaine Luria @ElaineLuria]

Hampton Roads needs a fighter who is ready to take on Jen Kiggans and the most corrupt administration in history, which is raising prices on working families.

Virginians want more affordability and less corruption from Washington, and I’m ready to serve the people of Hampton Roads who are being left behind by corrupt politicians like Jen Kiggans and Donald Trump.
