A damning op-ed about an AG putting MAGA before Virginia. And in the process ruining our institutions. Vote for @jonesjay richmond.com/opinion/column…
Dropping to #4 spot is Making Va Great Again! Worst showing since 2018 cnbc.com/2025/07/10/vir…
Reupping this.
I’m tired of my Republican colleagues telling me in private how they feel about this terrible bill… it’s time to vote like it.
Sen. @ssurovell: "What is the point of attacking the #1 school in upward social mobility in the country...?...What’s the motive? You fill in the blank." "You want to know why Trump doesn't like higher education? He doesn't want a functioning democracy." bluevirginia.us/2025/07/video-…
Youngkin, Sears, Reid and Miyares do not GAF about Virginia workers, certainly not federal workers, and refuse to criticize or fight back against ANYTHING Trump says or does. bluevirginia.us/2025/07/fmr-va… h/t @ssurovell
Hundreds more federal workers being moved out of Virginia by the Trump Administration while the VA GOP whistles past the graveyard - Anyone know if our Governor is going to put up a fight or our AG do anything to try to stop it? @mmartzrtd @bluevirginia bizjournals.com/washington/new…
NEW from me: Would moving Virginia's elections to even years have federal impacts? Maybe, but #valeg Democrats say that's not why they're looking into the idea @ScVanValkenburg @ssurovell wvtf.org/news/2025-07-2…

.@ScVanValkenburg: did 1902/71 conventions have a thorough debate about election dates? (Not sure) @ssurovell: off year was historical accident post-CR? (That’s how it appears, Grant broke an impasse) LA doing the same? (yes, and KY) Why May? Weren’t regular b4
Tulsi Gabbard should not be the Director of National Intelligence.
It seems DNI Gabbard is unaware that the years-long Russia investigation carried out by the Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed that ‘the Russian government directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure’ ahead of the 2016 election, and that it ‘used social…
And in other news, @GeorgeMasonU's Rector has dumped Jason Miyares and hired Bill Barr to "defend" the school from Trump because you know, who could better "protect" the school from Trump than Trump's former AG.... 🤪🙄😵💫 gmu.edu/news/2025-07/u… @VASenateDems @DanRosZiff
Yeah I was thinking it was more like a dumpster fire....
Half the states in America have sued the federal government to stop these cuts. But not Virginia. We can’t afford four more years of an AG that has MAGAs back before he has ours. Vote for @jonesjay this November. wset.com/news/local/fed…
INBOX: @VASenateDems asked a FFX County Judge to block @GlennYoungkin's appointees from serving at @UVA @GeorgeMasonU and @VMI1839 after #VALeg voted them down in a sub. GY says full chamber needs to vote. Full PI motion👉drive.google.com/file/d/1iYxcxP… @SenLouiseLucas @ssurovell
“neither Youngkin’s office nor state or federal agencies involved in the operation have provided any documentation about those arrested to be able to verify who they are, what they were charged with or whether they’ve been deported.” @KateSeltzer pilotonline.com/2025/07/12/va-…
Excellent work by the @cavalierdaily! bluevirginia.us/2025/07/wednes…
After Youngkin Loses the Fight for the FBI HQ, and with SO Many Failures on Youngkin’s 3 1/2-Year Record as Governor, VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell Asks, “what has our Governor going full MAGA netted our state besides a UVA president firing?” bluevirginia.us/2025/07/after-…
Totally reminds me of 5 y/o soccer games
NEW: China launches its first humanoid robot soccer league in Beijing. This is way more entertaining than regular soccer. The AI-controlled robots were supplied by Booster Robotics for the tournament and have the skills of 5 to 6 year old children. Robots were seen getting…
