Thank you again, Sen Favola, for slowing the train down on this!.
Now more than ever, I’m glad my amendment passed to stop the expansion of these cameras to highways and to require a second look at the potential expansion of their footprint in the future. @JusticeFwdVa @LegalAidJustice @ACLUVA.

"the vast majority of the people that have been arrested at courthouses around the country are committing violent crimes,” Youngkin lied. 🤥 🤥 🤥 .

Trump--er, I mean Youngkin--ignores GOP-appointed House Clerk's finding that his line-item veto of Medicaid reimbursements to nursing homes was unconstitutional, and he thus withholds urgently needed funds to care for Virginia's seniors. Sorry, Grandma! 👵🏻

How very Trumpian. freedom of the press but only for *certain* members of the press who can be counted on not to ask actual tough questions!.
NEW: @JasonMiyaresVA’s comms ass. @svkenney just denied my entry in a presser announcing complaints with Earned Sentence Credits. Plenty of other journalists in there, but evidently not me 🤙

Breaking: The Virginia Department of Health Professions has entered into a consent decree with two religious counselors that prevents the state from enforcing a ban on conversion “talk therapy.”. State law currently bans all forms of LGBTQ conversion therapy. @8NEWS

Just to be ABSOLUTELY clear: these are largely NOT "violent thugs and predators." . These are moms, dads, grandpas, employees, care workers, agricultural workers, many are snatched by ICE when attending their LEGAL asylum proceedings. Sometimes taken away in front of their kids.
Virginia didn’t become a national leader in ICE enforcement by accident. We made it happen — partnering with @realDonaldTrump and local law enforcement to get violent thugs and predators off our streets.

LOL, nobody's gonna watch TEN debates (not even me 🤓)! And frankly, voters could learn pretty much all they need to know from a 3-4 questions yes/no questionnaire.
Bill Bolling (R) ran twice (and won twice) for Lt. Governor of Virginia, and on this he knows what he's talking about: "If lucky, they’ll do one or two debates. No [TV] station will cover them. and very few people will ever know they took took place."

I dunno. here in Virginia we underpay the lawmakers AND the teachers. That hasn't seemed to help at least.

Reminder: several prisons in VA have no air conditioning. People under our state's supervision will be subjected to temperatures well above 120 inside cinderblock cells. Some will likely die, as in past summer heat waves. Youngkin vetoed @HollySeiboldVA's bill to address this.
No sugar coating this: it's going to be bloody hot over the next several days — increasingly so, with the peak heat index nearing 110 by Tuesday. Forecast:
