I’m sure she’s “concerned” that this is being published right now.

Here's an idea: Companies that get government tax breaks should not get government contracts. If you don't pay into the pot, you shouldn't be allowed to draw $'s out. Take your pick - you can get subsidies or you can get contracts. Not both.

Clean Virginia Statement on Hearing Examiner's Ruling Compelling NextEra Discovery

October 2, 2026

From Executive Director Brennan Gilmore:

"We appreciate the Chief Hearing Examiner's ruling, which confirms that the conduct and integrity of the management seeking control of Dominion are relevant to the Commission’s review. NextEra and Dominion asked the Commission to approve this deal on the strength of NextEra's track record and 'core values.' Today's ruling confirms that those claims can be tested, not simply taken at face value.

As the ruling put it, a public utility 'and any entity that controls it' is more than the people who keep the lights on, and the responsibilities of its management and board are far broader. How NextEra's leadership responded to serious allegations about Florida Power & Light's use of corporate resources to influence elections and target officials goes directly to how it would govern Dominion.

NextEra must now produce the so-called Robo Memorandum, the records of the internal investigation its former chairman described to investors, its contracts and payments with political consulting firms, and the materials it gave the Jacksonville City Council's investigative committee about its failed bid to acquire JEA, Jacksonville's public utility. Virginia ratepayers deserve a full and transparent record before the Commission decides whether to hand control of Dominion to NextEra. We look forward to reviewing these documents."

i suppose i’m not surprised that it is difficult to make people care about something that is low visibility — the vast majority of people have no idea who piker is — and low salience. i think we’re also going to find, for similar reasons, that the anti-trans messaging isn’t working either.

The Democratic leadership needs to get it's collective head out of it's ass and pay attention to Talarico and Mamdani. This is the future of the party. Tell me one sitting Democrat (other than maybe Bernie, or AOC) who can pull this kind of crowd with this kind of enthusiasm.

I was never a fan of the Iraq war, but pulling out now doesn’t seem like a good idea. Given the war with Iran, that just seems to be creating a vacuum for Iran to step into. Stand by, because the next step is going to be Israel attacking Iraq.

Jack Smith is testifying before the Senate this morning, and a GOP Senator just grilled him about being at an Atlanta Hawks game in ATL, and accused him of perjury bc he denied this was the case. Turns out, it was an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland. These are the most unserious people ever.
