It is NOVA Campaigns’ first day in Virginia apparently

Pretty wild that the CEO of @DominionEnergy, Robert Blue (also on the Richmond Fed), doles out cash 💵 to both Virginia GOP & Dems, as consumers’ rates increase & the CVOW windmills cost billions Robert took in $15 million compensation, including $9 million in stock, in FY25

.@SpeakerDonScott walks back @HelmerVA’s push to remove Justice Kelsey. He said he hasn’t decided yet, but wouldn’t base that decision on a single ruling.
“… I think it's inappropriate to be making public comment on jurists at this time,” Scott said.

This is false. Let's focus on winning this November instead of whatever cooked up BS this is.

@Leddymixk It is rare for a SCOV justice to not be reappointed if they seek a second term

“The reality is that we expected the Supreme Court of Virginia to respect the constitution and the will of the people,” Del. Dan Helmer said. “They did not.”
Helmer continued: “We will make sure that Justice Kelsey does not serve anymore come this January."

“Vetoes create deficits in our budget and require cuts to those core services.”
L. Louise Lucas@SenLouiseLucas
As we pass bills during legislative session the assumption is they will become law in some form- so those that bring in revenue are included in our budget for schools, transportation, health care, etc. Vetoes create deficits in our budget and require cuts to those core services.

🚨BREAKING — PA GOP REP. BRIAN FITZPATRICK writes to TODD BLANCHE with concerns about the DOJ “anti-weaponization fund”
@RepBrianFitz is the first Republican to express this concern to DOJ.
From his letter:
“I am writing to you to express my urgent concern surrounding the announcement of a newly formed “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” a plan to set up nearly $1.8 billion in funds to compensate victims of alleged lawfare. A massive discretionary fund, with no oversight or approval from Congress, represents a dangerous backsliding in the transparency of our institutions and our commitment to the American taxpayer.”

You are funny by half thinking you need to explain this to us. After 34 years in the legislature I don’t need to learn the process from a chopped first year law student.

Speaker of the House Don Scott on Gov. Spanberger vetoes:
"It's her prerogative. We have three co-equal political branches of government for a reason. There is nothing that she has done that I can say I'm surprised by. I can say that there are a couple that I'm disappointed by, but I'm not in despair. I think those issues could continue to be worked on, and I think there are ways that we can continue to move forward on those issues."

Gov. Abigail Spanberger vetoed a bill that would have blocked transfers to Red Onion state prison

There is a lot of theorizing and people trying to understand why the governor vetoed so many Democrat-sponsored bills. A lot of people think it’s a power dynamic move after the legislators tried to bully her with certain things this year. That could be true.
But it doesn’t completely make sense that she would use bills that would and did anger the base, instead of choosing bills that might anger the patron, but go by fairly unnoticed with the public.
