Spanberger actually lost VA06 by 17 pts (16.6 pts to be exact), but yeah, keep an eye on the margin in VA06 on election night (polls close at 7 pm) to get an early idea whether we're talking a "blue wave" or "blue tsunami" election or what bluevirginia.us/2026/10/dccc... h/t @peterhamby.bsky.social

NEW: Democrats sued the Trump administration for quietly changing a form used by overseas voters to register and request mail ballots weeks before the midterms. The lawsuit argues the altered form is part of a broader GOP effort to make voting more difficult for Americans living abroad.

Trump admin quietly changed overseas voter form at 11th hour to disenfranchise Democrats, lawsuit says

The change is part of a Republican plan to make it more difficult to vote or outright disenfranchise a bloc of voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic, the DNC lawsuit argues.

Preznit Fuckwit is a low-wattage moron who is fundamentally incapable of processing information — and yesterday, he just made one rake-steppingly bone-headed decision after another. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I bring the receipts. link is here: bit.ly/4Az3oaz

Donny Convict truly is the worst of us.

he’s a burst trash bag of personality defects. can you think of something that isn’t wrong with him? there’s the preening vanity. imagine looking in the mirror, seeing that desiccated piss-mop perched atop your head, and going, ‘oh yeah, I’m really rocking it today.’

then there’s the narcissistic grandiosity, and the overwhelming stupidity.

he’s got fascist tendencies. he’s incapable of ever telling the truth, or admitting mistakes. he’s a cheater. he’s lazy and impulsive, with the attention span of a coked-up squirrel. he’s racist, transphobic, and misogynistic.

he’s delusional, imagining that he’s entitled to all the power, all the money, and all the attention.

but even given all that, never forget that above everything, he’s a complete fucking moron.

"Beth Macy accepts joint appearance invitation Oct. 14 in Clifton Forge

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sept. 25, 2026

Contact: Ralph@bethmacyforcongress.com

CLIFTON FORGE — Beth Macy, Democratic candidate for Congress in Virginia's 6th District, has accepted an invitation to attend a Community Conversation with her incumbent opponent Oct. 14 at Clifton Forge's Historic Masonic Theatre. The invitation was extended "with the support of Mountain Gateway Community College and the Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce," organizer Joan Vannorsdall wrote in a Sept. 18 letter to Macy.

The event "is open to the public with prescreened questions asked by our moderator, providing residents of the Sixth Congressional District with an opportunity to meet both candidates for the district seat, and hear and understand their stances on the vital issues at hand," Vannorsdall wrote. Dr. John Rainone, president of Mountain Gateway Community College, has agreed to moderate. The event is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Main Auditorium.

"I greatly look forward to the opportunity to meet with the Clifton Forge community once again and hear what is on their minds as November 3 approaches," Macy said. "This is the most important election of our generation, and 6th District constituents deserve a chance to talk directly with all of the candidates.""
