A 124-year-old voting ban designed to silence Black Virginians is finally gone.
While Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, governors’ mansions, and state legislatures across the country, Virginia overturned its “Jim Crow-era lifetime ban” on voting for people with prior felony convictions. motherjones.com/politics/202…

In the past two years, Republicans have exhibited a determined, see-no-evil indifference to President Donald Trump’s executive overreach and familial grifting. Democrats, meanwhile, have been relegated to holding unofficial hearings and firing off demands for information from Administration officials that have gone ignored. With the blue wave, that tide seems to be turning. At 10:18 on Tuesday night, the Democratic representative Robert Garcia posted an all-caps message on X: “LAWYER UP.” Come January, he will chair the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform —and, along with fellow-Democrats in the House and Senate, will be newly armed with the power to hold hearings and issue subpoenas for documents and testimony. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Trump says he will issue sweeping preemptive pardons to everyone who worked in his administration if they are prosecuted
To be clear: Pardons only cover federal crimes and offer no protection from state prosecutions, civil suits or impeachment. nypost.com/2026/11/02/us-new…

Imposing 18-year term limits for justices would improve the Supreme Court by ensuring no single person has generational power, by giving each president two appointments per four-year term, and by lowering the stakes of the confirmation process. bit.ly/47DWAuZ

Under 287(g) agreements, ICE deputizes local police, who then carry out the federal agency's dirty work within their own community.
Advocates have pressured state & local governments to ban this type of collaboration — but ICE keeps finding loopholes. 🧵

This was @GlennYoungkin’s final post ahead of @JenKiggans’ defeat - and @RobWittman’s.
Anybody hear from
Youngkin since these home-state losses - and more than a few for Youngkin-endorsed Rs outside #Va?
Maybe he’ll have something to say about ‘28 - and his plans for that yr?
I believe in clarity of mission, and the mission is to reelect @JenKiggans to Congress.
The job at hand is to make sure Jen Kiggans continues representing the values and beliefs of VA-02.
