@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @beyer.house.gov Since governing isn't going to work for at least the next month, up your bi-partisan game by trying to interest President Donald J. Trump in rechristening the Washington Post as the Trump Post (TP).

BTW, if you're a Democrat and you're putting out messaging like this ("voters' disgust with the corruption in both parties"), WTF are you even thinking/doing with this "both sides" crap, especially when like 99%+++ of corruption in Washington right now is on the Trump/MAGA/GOP side??? Cut it out!

Hey @mayor.nyc.gov, what is NYC doing to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse? President Trump is preparing #ArlingtonVA by installing snipers at the gates of Arlington National Cemetery to shoot them as they emerge from eternal slumber. Remember, the only way to kill them is to shoot them in the head.

I see, instead of doing a whole bunch of stories on the guy who reportedly went to church with Russ Vought (like they did for Richard Cox), they will run a never-ending series of church sex abuse stories because that well is so deep. Amen. bsky.app/profile/arln...

So nationally, we know how to reject "news" sources like this, but at the local level (at least in #ArlingtonVA), we slurp up the same. We have two "Baris", conveniently named Scott. Why the difference?
