@svkenney And not go into RGGI

If this were a serious sentiment, she would ask the General Assembly to temporarily repeal Virginia’s tax on gasoline. Fifty-two cents of tax affordability.

My long form interview with @bdomenech on leftwing “privilege”, the dangers of social justice prosecutors, & how leftwing violence is too often excused or ignored. Great questions, great conversation, check it out…..

Democrats should suspend the .52 cent gas tax on Virginians.

We have till July 1 then there will be a shutdown

🚨 New: Autumn is being reunited with her family, and felon Ronnie Reel is now in police custody. “We extend our sincere gratitude to the public for the numerous tips provided. Each tip played a crucial role in assisting authorities with the investigation,” the Fredericksburg Police Department said. “We also thank the Prince William County Police Department for their invaluable support in locating both Autumn and Reel.” Thank you all for raising awareness about Autumn. She’s been missing since Tuesday and is now returning home.

@TulsiGabbard @ODNIgov Prayers for Abraham and the battle he has before him. Thank you for your service. Praying for strength for you and your family.

I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.

@power_tomorrow @ChristieFERC @WMLawSchool @FERC I heard it was exceptional

Power for Tomorrow appreciated the opportunity to support the inaugural Future of Energy Conference, hosted by the @WMLawSchool Center for Energy Law & Policy, directed by former @FERC Chair @ChristieFERC. The conference brought together leaders from government, industry and academia for a national conversation on the next era of energy policy, markets and infrastructure. Panels examined data center development, resource adequacy and energy markets, governance of PJM, reliability and affordability. A timely discussion on how to meet rising energy demand while maintaining reliability, affordability and accountability.

🤣🤣🤣

For sure

Democrats are upset that I pointed this out

🚨FULL ARTICLE: Virginia steps right up to the RGGI roller coaster "Virginia is about to reenter the Northeast’s regional cap-and-trade program, offering an early test of whether Democrats can balance pledges to tackle both climate change and rising power bills." ... "But RGGI prices have been on a roller coaster, almost doubling to $42 per ton of carbon dioxide as the market anticipates Virginia entering the system without enough clean energy to cover all its power-hungry data centers. If these prices stay high, it’s widely expected to lead to higher electricity bills as power providers pass the costs to consumers." ... "At least one of RGGI’s more public market players thinks Virginia should wait until those improvements are made and delay joining until January 2027."

Because Richmond’s budget is in such great shape…..

When a sitting legislator sends a chilling message to all sitting judges that your rule for the ruling party or you get fired, that, ladies and gentlemen, is a true “threat to democracy.”

🚨WATCH: Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano took office in January 2020. Violent crime has increased 92% in the county under his watch.

“We can argue about what SCOVA did, but not what it didn’t.” — @MichaelWebert richmond.com/opinion/column…

@WrenWilliamsVA @GarrenShipley @DelDanHelmer Sounds like Democrats want to another justice system to their own ends. Perhaps we shouldn’t have early voting? Might solve the problem? Or not be in Special Session. The Constitution probably was talking about regular session as a means to alter the constitution.

“We will make sure that Justice Kelsey does not serve anymore come this January.” - @DelDanHelmer That is a threat of retaliation against a Supreme Court justice for his ruling on the redistricting amendment. Justice D. Arthur Kelsey was appointed to the Court of Appeals of Virginia in 2002 by Democratic Governor Mark Warner. He was elected to a full term by the General Assembly in 2003. Re-elected in 2011. And in 2015, he was elevated to the Supreme Court of Virginia by a unanimous vote of the General Assembly. The only thing that has changed since 2015 is that Justice Kelsey authored an opinion the Democrats did not like. Now think about what that means for every other judge in Virginia. The next time a hard case comes across their bench, the judge will have to include whether they’ll be reappointed. Judges have children in college too. They have mortgages, law school debt, and often give up higher earning opportunities to take the bench. Now, it’s been made clear, they cannot afford to make the “wrong” decision, and now they know exactly what “wrong” means when Democrats are in charge. This is how you get leverage over a judge. This is how you bend a court and compromise our third branch of government. With a paycheck. With a pension. With their retirement. This is not how we do things here in Virginia. We follow the rule of law. When Chuck Schumer threatened Justice Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court steps in 2020, Chief Justice Roberts rebuked him publicly. Bar associations condemned him. Schumer walked it back the next day. Schumer could not actually remove Kavanaugh, but Delegates will cast a vote on Kelsey’s re-election, if sought, in January. The threat is not rhetorical. It is operational. And has likely already had its impact on Justice Kelsey’s decision to move forward. Democrats would be screaming if a Republican delegate or said this about a justice that ruled in their favor with a majority opinion. I’m interested to see the reaction if any to this threat of retaliation against Justice Kelsey. Justice Kelsey decided the case in front of him on the law, in the majority with three other justices. Just as has done for twenty-five years. The Commonwealth does not threaten its judges. We do not purge our courts. We do not measure justices by whether they vote the way the majority caucus needs for power. This is brandishing power, and it needs to be called out. - Del. Wren Williams

Delegate Helmer has publicly threatened Justice Kelsey because of the redistricting amendment. This is the most extreme example of judicial intimidation I have ever seen from a sitting Virginia legislator. The equation is simple / rule against us = lose your job. If they make an example of a Supreme Court justice - every lower judge is on notice that if you stop democrats - you will be fired. This is the beginning of the end. Courts will be ATMs for the politics of the party In power. This can’t stand. The party of “democracy” is literally destroying judicial autonomy. This violates the separation of powers principles more than anything we have ever seen. Dan and his thugs in the General Assembly need to be sued. Just so happens I have some free time.

Yeah some of us voted FOR the redistricting commission to end political gerrymandering when we were j. The Majority. 🤷
