By my count, VA House of Delegates is 50D-46R w/ four races too close to call, giving Dems plenty of paths to the majority:

#HD57 Gibson (D) vs. Owen (R)
#HD71 Anderson (D) vs. Batten (R)
#HD82 Adams (D) vs. Taylor (R)
#HD97 Feggans (D) vs. Greenhalgh (R)

VA House of Delegates: by my count, Dems have now won 50 seats, meaning Republicans have lost sole control. There are still 4-6 tight races that could put Dems over the top for outright control.

Russet Perry's (D) win in #SD31 and Schuyler Van Valkenburg's (D) win in #SD16 guarantee Dems 21 seats & the VA Senate majority.

But still waiting on tight races in #SD24 (Williamsburg) and #SD27 (Fredericksburg) to see how large Dems' majority will be.

It’s weird how Dems keep outperforming in elections while Biden is supposedly historically unpopular.

Almost like Biden isn’t actually historically unpopular.

No, our 'politics' aren't broken.

'Congress' isn't broken.

The Republican Party is broken.

The sad truth is that Kevin McCarthy is the best that the House Republican Conference can do.

This is the logical conclusion of what started with Art Pope’s and the Koch brothers’ Project RedMap in North Carolina, and gained steam when Citizens United unleashed the Tea Party.

House Republicans thank Kevin McCarthy for his service as Speaker:

a. Your accountant not catching your fraud is not a defense to committing fraud.
b. An accountant giving you accounting advice, knowing the full facts, and you follow that advice, is a defense.

This appears to be a, not b.

“Bravado” is a lawyerly way of saying that he lied.

That explanation won’t hold up at trial. It will be hard tor Trump’s team to convince jurors that he wasn’t talking about a highly classified document, given what he said on tape.

She voted against the Infrastructure Bill.

Not only was Trump's sexual attraction to his daughter an open secret, but he took her to Epstein's parties when she was REALLY young. What a bunch of freaks
