We finally got a Virginia Supreme Court ruling!

Confirmation redistricting referendum is happening

Early voting starts this Friday

Essentially a shadow docket ruling and not on final merits

But highest court in Virginia will let voters go to the polls

BREAKING: The Virginia Supreme Court is allowing a April 21 referendum on congressional redistricting to move forward. Justices did NOT rule on whether the process was legal, so challenges will continue. They say courts shouldn’t stop elections before they happen.

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

Good morning from the White House briefing room. Time for a turn in the White House pool on this morning after the State of the Union. No public events planned, though.

Teddy Roosevelt Humiliates Dr. Seuss - New England Historical Society Dr. Seuss lived much of his life in California and New York, but never really left Springfield, Mass. And he never forgot what Teddy Roosevelt did to him there.

In 1918, Teddy Roosevelt startled Dr Seuss into a lifelong fear of public speaking. TR was handing out awards to 10 Boy Scouts for selling war bonds and only had 9 certificates, so he bellowed out “What’s this boy doing here?” in wee Ted Geisel’s face.

I like Ginny’s a lot. Big fan of Shelly Pie. Rene’s in East McKeesport if you like Italian or fried fish. Papa Rocks in Monroeville is your solid basic neighborhood pizza parlor, it’s close to PT.
