Caught this cute moment after a young man asked @GovernorVA why he signs bills in cursive. Youngkin tells him, "You have to practice your cursive signature so that when you're governor, you can sign bills too." The kid replies, "I don't know that I want to be governor."
America is not a perfect place, but pictures like this make me believe it is
Just give whoever took this a Pulitzer
Interesting nuggets from the latest VCU Poll: 67% of Virginians oppose Medicaid cuts 56% of Virginians oppose eliminating DEI programs 51% of Virginians disapprove of efforts to cut the federal workforce 69% say athletes should play on teams that match their birth gender




State agency that oversees Medicaid says they don’t know how Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ bill will affect Medicaid in Virginia wric.com/news/politics/…
Happening Now: @JasonMiyaresVA joins several Sheriffs from across Virginia for a campaign event in Richmond. More tonight on @8NEWS at 5:30

DMAS did not say how many Virginians are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage under President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. They did acknowledge that hospitals stand to lose billions, but said a lot of the bill’s impacts are still to be determined.
Democrats have warned that President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will lead to over 300,000 Virginians losing Medicaid coverage. @GovernorVA has called that number "made up." Next week, we'll likely get more clarity when DMAS briefs lawmakers on the bill's effects on Medicaid.
Are you tired of voting every single year??? Today, a Joint Subcommittee is meeting to study the idea of consolidating Virginia’s elections by eliminating off-year elections. More tonight on @8NEWS.

This speech is breathtaking. Never knew it existed until today.
Nixon’s speech if Apollo 11 had failed, in which case the astronauts were stranded on the Moon, 1969.
Seems like former presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke had quite the turnout today in Henrico
In Richmond with those who are giving everything they’ve got to win Virginia in 2025 and then everywhere else in 2026.
Just updating this. I reached out to the Earle-Sears campaign this AM and asked if they would be willing to share how much they raised on Thursday. As of 6:30, I have not heard back. I will update this if I do. Enjoy the rest of your Saturday.
News: The @winwithwinsome campaign says Thursday was their largest fundraising day ever. However, the campaign did not disclose how much was raised.

Holy smokes he’s a NATURAL! Kind of… lol! @TylerEnglander - Richmond News Reporter and one of my best buddies - got to drive a race car before me. See you in August when we can watch the Cup field try to emulate your skills! 🫡
Alright @JOTT_Podcast, rate my driving skills. Thanks again to @NASCAR and @RichmondRaceway for allowing me to get behind the wheel of a real stock car!

Democrats need to take a look at who is doing opposition research for them. Donald Trump has run for President three times and has been in the political arena for over a decade. The fact that Dem researchers didn’t find this earlier doesn’t exactly speak highly of their work.
BREAKING The Wall Street Journal has reviewed a book put together for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday, as part of that book a letter was submitted by Donald Trump. Trump’s letter features a drawing of a naked woman and this text which imagines a conversation between Trump and…
During the Democratic primary, @ShannonTaylorVA criticized Jay Jones because he "never prosecuted a criminal case." The @JasonMiyaresVA campaign seems to be using a similar strategy in this ad, saying, "Jay Jones has never been a prosecutor."
Jay Jones led the effort to release convicted violent felons early, stood with drug dealers caught selling on school grounds, and pushed to eliminate cash bail—putting dangerous criminals back on our streets. Soft Jay Jones will not keep us safe.
House Dems are casting a large net and adding House District 34, currently held by Tony Wilt, to their list of battleground districts. Donald Trump won this district 53%-45% last year.
