Several Virginians who took part in the Continental Congress' first session that began in May are no longer there, most prominently George Washington, now commander of the Army. Peyton Randolph is speaker of the Convention, Patrick Henry is a militia commander, and Edmund Pendleton is ailing. 2/2

The road construction around the new tunnel lanes is crazy. It’s still easier than taking the long way around

Hope you had a chance to do some touring around the area. Point State Park. Old Forbes Field left field wall, nearby museums, ride the incline…..

Once a hick always a hick

Something tells me the Vice Grifter has too much time on his hands.

Just to recap the last few months

Whelp, this sucks a bit for the local economy on the state's Eastern Shore. It probably doesn't win any votes for the Orange TACO either. Hopefully it will come back to bite the local Congress Critters. https://www.wboc.com/news/nasa-employees-notified-of-intention-to-close-wallops-visitor-center/article_ef09f97b-1ed9-45b2-b928-d6d35bcbd44a.html It's long been a favorite school trip for both Virginia and Maryland

School’s about to start or has already in nearby districts. Might as well get dark earlier😊 Maybe the later mornings will keep the pup in bed longer

Unfortunately it’s one of the feared outcomes when they repealed the Fairness Doctrine

My money is Ivanka and Jarred. They’ve been quiet lately, but I think she’s the quiet one. Hubby just might surprise

Just imagine the Faux News and Right Wing TalkRadio outrage if Ms Harris had done this

I'm coming around to consider setting up multi member districts. Michigan is allotted 13 Congress Critters. Divide the state into 5 or 6 regions. Each represented by at least 2 Reps (one would get 3 if 6, 3 would reive 3 if 5). Hold elections using ranked choice or Single Transferable Vote (once an electable threshold was reached extra votes would go to next candidate within the party). It's not perfect but still keeps the candidates regional if not local. Otherwise we're it's very likely to have 13 reps from the same (most populous area) of the state

The bottom line in any attempt to redistrict come down to biases and garbage in, garbage out. I'd prefer to keep the politicians and lawyers out of it.
