See what the cowardly, piece-of-sh** "mainstream" media does with its choice of words/framing? Why "apparent" as opposed to "glaringly obvious?" Why "misfire" as opposed to "reprehensible slander?" Why "basically?" Why why why... bluevirginia.us/2026/09/tues...
"Pretty big apparent misfire from GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt at today's Jack Smith hearing.

Schmitt basically constructed a conspiracy theory about how Jack Smith was in Atlanta when Fani Willis's affair was revealed, saying Smith had attended an Atlanta Hawks game.

Smith had no idea what he was talking about.

After the text messages Schmitt's theory was based on were shown, Smith said it was a game between the U of Maryland and Iowa HAWKeyes -- in Maryland -- not the Atlanta HAWKS." - Aaron Blake

“The companies building the most powerful AI systems are warning us that the technology is advancing faster than our safeguards. The president’s response? To rename it and tell the companies developing it to regulate themselves." - Sen. @markwarner.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/09/tues...
STATEMENT OF U.S. SEN. MARK R. WARNER

~ On President Trump’s executive order to rebrand ‘artificial intelligence’ ~

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement:

“The companies building the most powerful AI systems are warning us that the technology is advancing faster than our safeguards. The president’s response? To rename it and tell the companies developing it to regulate themselves. But changing what we call artificial intelligence does nothing to address the very real risks that come with increasingly powerful AI systems.

“I believe deeply in the promise of AI and in America’s ability to lead the world in this technology. But leadership also means making sure these systems are safe, secure, and remain under human control. That is why I’ve introduced legislation to require rigorous testing and evaluation of the most advanced AI systems, strengthen cybersecurity and incident reporting, and establish clear rules of the road before the most powerful models are deployed.

“There is bipartisan interest in Congress in getting this right. The technology is moving incredibly fast, and the risks are no longer theoretical. The question is whether Washington is going to act before something goes seriously wrong — or wait until afterward to ask why we didn’t.”

Just in case you needed more motivation to vote, here's another example of the Trump regime being sadistic, lawless, insane, extreme and just plain EVIL. bluevirginia.us/2026/09/mond... h/t @kylemcdaniel.bsky.social
"Today, the Trump administration took away federal protections for LGBTQ+ students, pregnant and parenting students, and they did it without asking parents, teachers, or students what they thought. Add in the funding delays, the cuts to special education staff, and the threats against school districts across the country, and it's clear that public schools are under attack. I won't back down, and I won’t bend the knee. Ever. Every child belongs and deserves to feel safe. " - Fairfax School Board member Kyle McDaniel

Here's the full transcript of the ad in question. Assuming all of it is accurate I find it difficult to believe that he has a leg to stand on:
"One evening I see lights. I open the door, and it's a police officer. They arrested me because I didn't make a $50 payment to Roger Marshall. I was 8 months pregnant and I said please, do not handcuff me in front of my 2-yr old daughter.

"Roger Marshall preyed on the low-income families of Kansas. The healthcare system is broken...but not for Roger Marshall. He's absolutely profiting from it.

TEXT: "Marshall had dozens arrested for minor medical debt" (w/citation)

TEXT: "Roger Marshall is worth nearly $10 million" (w/citation)

At 16% interest it would take over 10 years and you’d have paid $8,600 in interest alone. Anything higher and you’d literally NEVER be able to pay it off at $50/mo.
