[Activate Virginia @ActivateVA]

"Though it went relatively unreported, four Virginia legislators flew abroad to attend: State Senator Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax), State Senator Russet Perry (D-Loudoun), State Senator Bryce Reeves (R-Orange), and Delegate Phillip Scott (R-Spotsylvania)."

You arrested a student for writing a column in her school newspaper.

We're up to 20 immigrant detainees (by the official count) dead this year in ICE custody, and 58 since the beginning of 2025. A new report finds a 138% increase in the annualized mortality rate under Trump, suggesting human rights violations.

In America, carrying a first aid kit near a protest is an act of terrorism but carrying a gun across state lines to a protest is not.

@Malinowski Incredible centrist projection, truly a sight to behold

Democrats complaining to their donors about their voters

@RpsAgainstTrump You guys sure do attack a lot of anti-Trump people for some reason; maybe stay in your lane?

[Joe LeMaster @LeMasterPlan]

@NRSC Oh wow, he sounds great; thanks for the spotlight on his campaign!

[Joe LeMaster @LeMasterPlan]

@burgessev GOP spending money to attack him with over a month until the Dem primary doesn't sound like they're excited to face him at all. Why not keep your powder dry until there aren't any potential alternatives?

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Apple is a $4 trillion corporation.
It's spending $310 billion on stock buybacks.
It made $112 billion in profits last year.
It's CEO, Tim Cook, is worth $2.9 billion.
Cook made $74 million last year.

Apple is screwing you over because it is addicted to greed - period.

@MaxShifrin Citing "unlawful" actions while Israel harbors fugitives from the ICC is certainly an interesting argument

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

This isn't really about supply costs. A different or newer chip doesn't add $200 to the production cost of making a laptop or iPad.

It's about maintaining the same profit margins -- the amount of pure profit that Apple gets to keep on every dollar it makes. Apple does not want that number to go lower. So it is charging you a LOT more for a relatively modest increase in its supply costs.

@BlakeSNeff Kind of wild how so many "Christians" have this much contempt for their neighbors

[Taniel @Taniel]

.@syracusedotcom reports two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday to demand that she take down an Insta post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). https://t.co/WIB1hbqx5W

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

congressional democrats, whose approval rating has just barely been above pediatric cancer’s for the last decade, trying to get into a “it’s him or us” stand-off with Zohran Mamdani

[David Suetterlein @DRSuetterlein]

Regrettably and with little surprise, Roanokers have learned that 16 surveillance devices were installed in unapproved locations throughout the community…

[Joe LeMaster @LeMasterPlan]

@MarkWarner I'd rather hear a plan from Democrats that goes above and beyond Roe's narrow (former) protections instead of another empty promise to "restore access."

[Joe LeMaster @LeMasterPlan]

@kylegriffin1 Why are they asking nicely and not threatening prosecutions?

[Taniel @Taniel]

NEW: As states hollow out mental health care systems, they're using jails as de facto mental health providers.

Jail is where people with mental illness cycle in and out of, basically as a state's public policy.

We just reported on that in Colorado. https://t.co/xJ03kiNjSp

@HunterBiden Wow, plagiarism runs in the family, I guess?
