This is actually funny to me. Essentially Independents were tired of the effects of Trump's first term. Biden couldn't magically make it go away. All Biden did was ensure yhe United States faired better than everyone else post-Covid. The second we swore in Trump they all went, "Shit. We f'd up."

The #Orioles have a horrific approach to the game of baseball. Not only does it lead to too many unnecessary losses, but it stunts player development and manufactures inconsistency on the field and at the plate. We need a new Front Office. Top to bottom. Or nothing will change.

For the second straight day, the White House's taxpayer-funded incitement account is attacking me and oddly mentioning I'm in my 40s (which I know makes me way too old for the president) When they do this it results in a flood of harassing and threatening messages, which of course is the point

Fairfax County School Board member Melanie Meren: "A student was hit by a car outside of South Lakes High School. Does Chairman Jeff McKay still think that our children are safe after seven days without high school crossing guards?" bluevirginia.us/2026/09/tues...
Fairfax County School Board member Melanie Meren:
'
"A student was hit by a car outside of South Lakes High School. Does Chairman Jeff McKay still think that our children are safe after seven days without high school crossing guards?
Our FCPS teachers and staff stepped in to try to help with controlling traffic, the job of police officers, despite having no training. Eventually police officers and emergency responders arrived, which cost more than it would have to employ high school crossing guards in the first place.
This happened because the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved the County Executive’s budget that cut high school crossing guards using the justification that we were the only local jurisdiction that had them.
Is this ok with you? If you’re as outraged as I am, call and write Chairman Jeff McKay, as well as your magisterial supervisor, and tell them to restore high school crossing guards NOW! Post your thoughts on social media and let our elected officials know that we will not stand for this"

Style Weekly: "Breaking: More Confederate monuments are coming down today from Richmond's Capitol Square. Among the statues currently being removed are Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson (pictured), General William "Extra Billy" Smith and Confederate Army surgeon Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire.
The Department of General Services (DGS) is removing the statues which will be gifted by the Commonwealth to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation, according to a report by CBS6 News. The original bill to remove the statues was introduced by Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria) and "though the bill died, lawmakers revived the issue in the budget and allocated money for the removals."
