Snitchmond Times-Dispatch

I’m going to say something out loud that will help make sense of things in Virginia. Spanberger is planning primaries to all of Senate leadership. They are looking at candidates against Lucas, Deeds, Locke and Surovell. Everything else makes sense if you see what’s coming.

For anyone confused about what is going on in Virginia right now:

As a former federal law enforcement officer, I share Virginians' concerns about federal immigration enforcement officers wearing masks on American streets — undercutting basic expectations of accountability, sowing fear and confusion, and eroding public trust. Kids afraid to get on the school bus. Workers not showing up to their jobs. Neighbors scared to go to the grocery store. That's what aggressive federal immigration enforcement is doing to Virginia communities. Today, I signed Executive Order 16 to: 🔹 Ban ICE from using state property as an operations base 🔹 Require federal immigration officers to show warrants before accessing state property 🔹 Launch a Know Your Rights website for Virginians affected by federal immigration enforcement to access resources and guidance 🔹 Provide guidance for employees at courthouses, schools, polling locations, and healthcare facilities when federal officers attempt to conduct immigration enforcement

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.

Kinda makes sense that the bigger the bill, the more unhappy the governor would be about the legislature appearing to steamroll over her policy concerns.
