Follow me here: In 2017, VA House of Delegates elections ended with 50 Repubs, 49 Dems, and 1 tied race. 1/
That tied race, in Newport News, was decided when elections officials pulled the Republican’s name out of a ceramic bowl. thehill.com/homenews/state… 2/
So, Repubs hold a 51-49 edge in the state House. If Northam, Fairfax & Herring all resign, Republican Speaker Kirk Cox would become governor. 3/

Some takeaways from early voting: Turnout is up. Not a little, a lot. Younger voters AND older voters. Whites AND non-whites. Dems AND Repubs. (Though groups that favor Dems are up by higher percentages, generally speaking) (1/10)
According to @electproject, 36.2m people voted early, or by absentee so far. That's 132% of the 2014 early/absentee turnout. (2/10)
@ElectProject States that have surpassed early/absentee turnout so far: AZ, DE, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NV, NJ, NM, NC, ND, OK, SC, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WV, WI. @electproject: electproject.org/early_2018 (3/10)

Dear Israel

Please stop inviting Katie Hopkins, running screenings by her... giving her oxygen in any way shape or form.

Please.

Yours, many British Jews who work hard to fight her vile far-right politics, which has regularly waded into antisemitism
jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/israeli-city-p…
Katie Hopkins is not a nice person, and uses purported support for Israel to bait Muslims. She is not a friend of the Jewish community, and has continuously courted people on the far-right, and spread far-right ideas, including antisemitism.

Disown her now.
Here is how Katie reacted to the massacre of Jews in Pittsburgh.

By assuming it was done by Muslims and blaming the UK Chief Rabbi, because he visited migrants in a Greek refugee camp.

Vile victim blaming.

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal
