Del. John Mcguire is speaking against legalization of marijuana. He said he had 7-8 people cry in his arms when he knocked their door. He said they were crying because their child overdosed. I have strong doubts that these people’s kids OD’d on weed.
I can’t get a good pic because people are spread around the front, side, back of this house but there is a large turnout for an event with
@TerryMcAuliffe
and
@SpanbergerVA07
in Henrico
I talked to
@carterforva
about rumors of him running for Governor. He said he believes there is a path to victory for him and he is strongly considering running.
On a phone call with VA-07 Democrats tonight,
@RepSpanberger
told them she is not running for re-election and will be announcing her run for governor next week.
Breaking right now: Police officers just shot a man inside of his car in the Prince George Lowe’s parking lot off of Puddledock road. I have video but I am not posting it because the car is clear and I don’t want the victims family to find out from the media.
A lot of people are gathered in Charlottesville for an event with
@TerryMcAuliffe
, Dave Matthews,
@harrisonjaime
, and
@staceyabrams
. You had to show proof that you are vaccinated to get in here
Youngkin told listeners they need to not lose NOVA by too much, tie in Richmond and Hampton Roads, and run up the score in red areas in order for Trump to win VA
"I just want to send one message, very clearly and very loudly, we are going to put strength back in the White House," Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin just said on a tele-rally with Trump. "We have a nation that needs to be saved."
I’ve confirmed that GOP congressional candidates
@NickForVA
and Bob Good have both failed to file the correct paperwork with the Virginia Department of Elections to be on the November General Election ballot. The VA Dept of Elections confirmed this with me early this morning.
Still confused about Democrats pushing for police reform all summer, saying they support the protesters all summer, talking all about George Floyd, just to show up to the special session and vote to give every police officer extra cash.
To our peaceful protestors: We are sorry we had to deploy gas near the Lee Monument. Some RPD officers in that area were cut off by violent protestors. The gas was necessary to get them to safety.

@GlennYoungkin
just said in Fairfax County at a rally that he will not allow COVID-19 lockdowns to ever happen again if he becomes governor of Virginia.
So we encouraged college kids to get vaccinated and they did - but we still shame them for going to an outdoor football game? No one is making you leave your house, how bout we not shame people who are vaccinated (like you begged them to do) and *trying* to have a normal life
Police officers have had jobs the entire pandemic, including a lot of overtime pay while they tear gassed crowds each night - but they still got the cash from the General Assembly. The hypocrisy of Virginia politicians knows no bounds.
The VA Department of Elections said that the vote count is going well but they are stopping at 11 p.m. and reporting the results up to that point. Counting will resume on Wednesday and the results will be announced no earlier than Friday at noon.
It isn’t a surprise but the governor is amending SB 739 with an emergency clause that will make it effective immediately if approved by the General Assembly. It will make masks optional in all Virginia schools permanently
I’ll admit I’ve never run a government agency. But I know something about running a business,” Youngkin said. “And we’re going to bring business efficiency to government bureaucracy.”
These tv station reporters are really starting to piss me off. They don’t show up to cover these events and get all of their material from social media, then cry about it when people call them out. Just show up? WaPo, VPM, RTD and Commonwealth Times have been at every protest
Governor Glenn Youngkin is signing five bills in front of the Executive Mansion right now that will prohibit the sale of cats and dogs for experimental purposes. The GA voted in favor of all of these bills unanimously
The House of Delegates has been ease for quite some time and I’m not sure why but the mics are still hot and someone is playing the jeopardy theme song.
I talked to a VA Republican strategist. They said: “With Trump at the top of the ticket, Republicans inability to raise money and with RPV’s terrible nomination methods, The Democrats will keep CD07, CD02 and will flip CD05. It will get worst for Virginia’s GOP this year.”
Youngkin is actually doing everything he said he would do on the campaign that resulted in him receiving the most votes during the election. Democrats spent that cycle trying to tie him to Trump and it failed.
Not seeing much change from one of the prominent Va Dem voices here
Any political party that tries to put the blame for the tragedy happening in Afghanistan on the opposite party is bullshitting you. Leaders from the last 20 years own this collectively.
The state Senate just killed Governor Youngkin's amendment that would have banned the use of Medicaid funds from being used for abortion in extreme cases
The NRCC is pulling out of the VA-05 race where they have been helping
@GoodForCongress
. They are being drastically outspent there and want to instead focus on VA-02 and VA-07 where they see more of a chance to make a difference.
Lt. Gov.
@WinsomeSears
and
@DelGlennDavis
are holding a press conference right now to discuss the bill that would set aside a portion of the state education funding allocated to each child and deposits it into an education savings account for the parents to use for other options
I’ve spent the last week trying to find a school district in VA teaching critical race theory. I have not been able to do so. This might be a short story
Worth noting that 8 of the 12 people I talked to today for interviews were from other states. They came here to rally against laws that would have no impact on their life.
The police officers pulled the man out of the vehicle and were applying first aid after firing into his vehicle. The video starts just before the shots were fired so I cannot tell what was happening in the lead up, but the car was stationary at the time of the shooting
I’m being told that during the governor’s reception with legislative aides, a number of Democratic attendees walked out in solidarity with
@pwcdanica
as the governor began speaking.
Governor Youngkin and the First Lady visited the Ss Joachim and Anna Ukrainian Catholic Church in Front Royal today and prayed for the Ukrainian people.
Idk if you’re in the Church Hill Neighborhood Facebook group but they have been continuously beefing over peacocks the last few days and it is getting DARK
.
@TerryMcAuliffe
just called the Steve Bannon rally in Henrico last night with Donald Trump and Amanda Chase one of the darkest moments of
@GlennYoungkin
's gubernatorial campaign.
Windsor is not the only speed trap on 460. ITS EVERY LITTLE TOWN YOU DRIVE THRU. The speed drops from 50-30 in less than a mile several times in the hour drive from Petersburg to Suffolk. Those towns pay for their entire police dept off of traffic stops on 460, it seems
I’m honestly surprised that there remains no evidence of CRT in public schools and it is still the leading policy for the Republican ticket in Virginia.
This video of Joe Morrissey during commercial break of his radio show is wild. The story was first broken by
@WhittneyE
of
@myVPM
that he had an altercation after being pushed to answer abortion questions. Here is the deleted FB live video.
Democrats are spending a ton of money telling voters about Republicans wanting to further restrict abortion access just for Youngkin to drop $1.4 mil and tell them himself. Bold strategy
