If I had naming rights for a beaver right now, I’d call her Tilly Gnaw-wood in the absolute certainty that over the lifespan of a beaver Tilly Norwood will become an “I don’t get it” sort of callback.

Thanks to Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01) for the reminder that in just 10 days, Virginia early voting starts, so if you live in VA01, you can vote for a massive upgrade in your Congressional representation - replacing worthless Wittman with the superb Shannon Taylor! bluevirginia.us/2026/09/new-...

A major humanitarian crisis is unfolding in a San Juan, Puerto Rico. Hundreds of thousands of people in and around the American city are facing rolling water shutoffs brought on by an historic drought. NBC News’ George Solis reports from a well that locals are using to get their water.

When we knock down all the Trump-related crap in DC after he’s gone, we should probably put up a national Covid memorial. All the names would be sobering.

It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.) Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact: - White House - Senate - House - Scotus - OMB (to the hilt) - Every regulatory agency They're in command. It's on them.
