Richmond, VA this evening with a thick blanket of smoke. One of the worst air quality days in the city’s modern history.

@forecaster25 @WeatherMatrix Hope so! Thanks for reply

@agrahms @WeatherMatrix Probably stays in PA/NY mostly

IMPORTANT thing to note about the smoke that will cover NYC & mid-Atlantic this afternoon. It's not at the surface. Most of the scary maps you see show smoke at ALL levels of the atmosphere at once (VI), but the map on the right shows that the smoke is not at the surface very far away from the fires in Canada, so you won't have to worry about poor Air Quality or smelly smoke.

@forecaster25 @WeatherMatrix In VA?

@WeatherMatrix Tomorrow tho 😅

@forecaster25 @babowling12 Very cool!

@JasonMiyaresVA @Subliminal73 Some people are not aware of the violence carried out by Castro regime. Cubans are so poor! Crumbling buildings! Surrounded by natural beauty.

Yesterday we said goodbye to my Uncle Angel Miyares, a true legend, lover of freedom who had been arrested by Castro, & one of the bravest men I’ve ever known. A man full of life and joy, the night I won my first election he exclaimed “Tonight, I feel like I just beat Castro!!!”🇨🇺🇺🇸❤️ Tío Angel was the first of the Miyares family to escape communist Cuba. Risking everything, he not only made it to freedom himself, he ensured my mother and my Abuelita would escape Cuba’s socialist hellhole, pulling them out of that nightmare and eventually into a new life in America. Because of his steadfast love of his sister, my mother, our family tree continued on free soil. In Cuba he paid a heavy price for that love of liberty. Arrested by the Castro regime during Bay of Pigs, he was taken to a baseball stadium packed with other political prisoners, where he endured the humiliation of a mock execution. Castro’s thugs stood him against the wall, rifles raised, only to spare him at the last second. A psychological torture designed to break the human spirit. But they couldn’t break Angel Miyares. His story had a huge impact on my desire to study law, because my earliest memories were hearing of the pain of living in a society governed by tyranny and socialism. Angel Miyares was a legendary patriot who never took liberty for granted. He lived every day grateful for this country that gave him a second chance, and he taught us all what real courage looks like. It’s been a hard long goodbye of the last several years, so while his passing isn’t unexpected the reality is the world feels smaller without him. His story, his sacrifice, and his unbreakable spirit will live on in every one of us who carries the Miyares name. Thank you my dearest Tio. Thank you for risking your life for freedom. Thank you for ensuring my mother and Abuelita were able to escape Cuba and ensure future generations can live under the tree of liberty in this remarkable country you so loved. Your bravery changed the course of generations of the Miyares Family. I will always be in your debt and will always carry pride to be a Miyares. My one regret is I so wish you could have seen a free Cuba, the place of your birth gain its freedom. One day, Lord willing, I will be able to visit your father’s grave there and tell him the remarkable story of his remarkable son and namesake. Te quiero mucho! Rest in the Eternal Rest of our Eternal Father, Tío Angel. You are already missed beyond words. 🇺🇸🕊️🇨🇺

“A Texan, A Floridian, and a Virginian all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth. The Texan asks to call Dallas and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so the Texan writes him a check. Next the Floridian calls Miami and talks for 30 minutes. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost is 6 million dollars, so he writes him a check. Finally the Virginian gets his turn he calls Richmond and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00. When the Texan hears this, he goes ballistic and asks the devil why the Virginian got to call Richmond so cheaply. The devil smiles and replies, "Since Spanberger became the governor of Virginia, the state has gone to hell, so it's a local call” 🤣🤣🤣 -Source unknown. Tag them if you know them!

@EricLDaugh Sad to see VA on her list but understand how necessary. All this drama just to not have people vote illegally. We have way too much drama & no leadership in VA.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon is dispatching election monitors to 15 jurisdictions across SIX STATES for the coming 2026 primaries to prevent fraud, cheating and fair access to voting under federal law "Those states are Arizona, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Virginia. And we're sending the monitors into cities and counties where there may have been some problems in the recent elections." THANK YOU, @AAGDhillon! Enforce existing law + the Senate should SWIFTLY pass the SAVE America Act

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S. Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

@Gwynne_Shotwell What a lovely example you are setting. And choosing what you want to do with your own treasure. Thank you.

My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation. Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home. We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars. A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

If you simply look away from the commiecrats you'll realize there's so much in 'Murica

@data_republican Cognitive dissonance will prevent that! Most democrats seem to rigidly hold on to narrow belief system.

Can someone please find a post from a Democrat that says something nice and wonderful about 250 years before I lose all hope? Go!

Happy Independence Day! On America's 250th anniversary, we thank all the brave men and women who work to protect our freedom every day. We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing holiday weekend! 🇺🇸🎆 #IndependenceDay #4thOfJuly

@data_republican This is a great video!

Since many people liked my owl photo, here is a video that I took back in 2023. I'm not a photographer obviously, but this is my favorite video because towards the end they all 3 finally realize that I'm there♥️🤣

@TheJusticeDept What a sad slippery slope the great Commonwealth of Virginia is navigating. VA , the epicenter of so many selfless & courageous events, is now being run by selfish egotistical politicians.

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today against the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Virginia State Police alleging that a newly enacted Virginia law unconstitutionally bans the purchase and sale of ordinary semi-automatic rifles owned by millions of Americans. “The Constitution is not a suggestion, and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “This Justice Department has done more to protect the Second Amendment than any administration in our nation’s history, and we will continue to do so whenever necessary.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

@News2ATeam @AAGDhillon Umm. Let’s see whose side we would choose to be on as Virginians. @AAGDhillon who is winning or @AGJayJones who has been LOSING? !

| BREAKING NEWS | news2a.com/national/doj-m… DOJ's @AAGDhillon keeps her promise and files suit against Virginia for its unconstitutional "assault weapons" ban, just one day after SCOTUS agrees to hear two cases addressing AR-15 bans. The complaint starts with an important history lesson. Details in link above ☝️ @VCDL_ORG @GunOwners @NRA @CamEdwards

@AAGDhillon @SteffaniMcGurn Well, just the used to be great Commonwealth of VA can keep you busy.

Good morning 🇺🇸! Fixing to drop some lawsuits onto the docket today! Watch this space!

@SharylAttkisson Wow! Thanks for info. Disillusioning.

When the dermatologist was just on Fox News debunking the idea that some chemicals in sunscreen aren't good for us, it sounded illogically dismissive of the studies and research. I took a quick look. I didn’t hear her disclose her paid relationships with big sunscreen makers. ☀️ This is part of a trend that I discovered decades ago. It permeates our news media landscape. I learned that nearly every member of the national board of experts that lowered cholesterol guidelines and basically recommended that people should take more statins, worked for the statin makers. I learned that many members of the board set up during Covid that restricted hydroxychloroquine... were paid by the companies that made other controversial treatments for Covid like remdesivir that were then prioritized over hydroxychloroquine. It doesn’t stop there. When the government and the cosmetics industry tried to falsely debunk the scientific studies linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, they referred me to the American Cancer Society for an interview. I learned that the expert at the American Cancer Society hadn’t even read the relevant studies, and yet was claiming the link was a myth. I asked and found out that the American Cancer Society takes money from the antiperspirant industry and other allegedly cancer, causing industries. However, they wouldn’t tell me how much. When the nonprofit “every child by" was illogically denying the proven vaccine autism link, I dug in and found out the nonprofit was actually started by a vaccine maker in order to defend vaccine companies, and to controversialist those of us exposing the risks. I was the first journalist to ask and report that the expert the government kept referring us to in order to debunk the vaccine autism link, Dr. Paul Offit, was not an independent expert at all, but was a vaccine inventor and vaccine industry insider… though that was never disclosed in the media at the time. He was always presented falsely as if he were an independent expert. When I saw a lead dietary group giving questionable advice about nutrition, I learned that the group takes money from the sugar, cola, fast food, and preservative snack industry. In short, whenever I’ve looked for a tie between experts defending a chemical or risk that could impact an industry's bottom line... I’ve always found one. Food for thought. "Dr. Jody Levine has financial and professional relationships with several prominent consumer product companies that manufacture and market sunscreens. Because sunscreen is legally regulated as an over-the-counter drug and is a core component of commercial skincare lines, her consulting roles inherently create potential conflicts of interest when she recommends sun protection or reviews skincare products in the media.  Her specific ties to major corporate sunscreen manufacturers include: 1. Johnson & Johnson / Kenvue Dr. Levine has served on the Medical Advisory Board for Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health spin-off, Kenvue, owns Neutrogena and Aveeno, two of the largest and most widely distributed sunscreen brands in the United States. In her media and print features, she has regularly recommended product categories or specific options overlapping with these brands, such as recommending Neutrogena Sport Face in broad consumer media interviews.  2. Galderma (Cetaphil) She has acted as a consultant and advisor for Cetaphil, a brand owned by Galderma. Cetaphil produces a substantial line of daily facial moisturizers with SPF, mineral sunscreens, and broad-spectrum sun protection lotions marketed heavily toward sensitive skin and pediatric care.  3. Beiersdorf (Eucerin) Dr. Levine has maintained consulting arrangements with Eucerin, a brand under the Beiersdorf corporate umbrella. Eucerin manufactures a wide range of daily anti-aging lotions with SPF, sensitive skin sunscreens, and body sun protection products.  Impact on Media Appearances When Dr. Levine appears on networks like Fox News or in print publications to deliver general public health messages—such as advising viewers to apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside or warning against the dangers of tanning beds—she is providing standard medical advice aligned with the American Academy of Dermatology. However, because she does not routinely issue on-screen financial disclosures listing her corporate partners during short news segments, viewers are generally unaware that she is paid by the parent companies of the very products sitting on drugstore shelves."
