VA State Sen. Glen Sturtevant is a right-wing extremist in a purple district who is only doing this - cynically - because he's worried about losing reelection next year. Don't fall for (or amplify) his b.s.! bluevirginia.us/2026/09/vide...

No Democrat should have voted for this bill, as it simply gives Trump MORE powers, theoretically to go against Russia but of course Trump's a puppet of Putin so he won't do that in any serious way. bluevirginia.us/2026/09/satu...

I am suing the Attorney General of the United States.

In my opinion, the judge in my case has been strategically laying the foundation for contempt.
A federal judge says Todd Blanche isn't sufficiently following the court's orders in a case concerning the Epstein files and gave Blanche a deadline to comply or face the possibility of contempt charges.

The order stems from the lawsuit brought by Katie Phang.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law.

Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars.

History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The national average for diesel is currently $6.40 a gallon, and analysts expect it to get worse.

This is not sustainable.
