@SenLouiseLucas @BradKutner She’s learning Youngkin’s lesson the hard way. Spanberger may be governor. But that’s Lucas’ Senate.

Now that you have read each bill line by line, it’s time to focus on the budget. Your Secretary of Finance says that we need more revenue and the House budget is negative by $400M in the out years. That’s not fiscally responsible and won’t happen on my watch.
Governor Abigail Spanberger@GovernorVA
I’ll leave online fights to others. Some people govern by social post. I prefer bill by bill, line by line. We're busy delivering results for Virginians. That's the job.

This is so good from @Jacob__Siegel, and sums up most of politics today: “Attention is also reflexive rather than deliberative; it has no goal beyond participation.”
Park MacDougald@hpmcd1
In City Journal, @Jacob__Siegel explains how canny elite actors can use the hyperreality of social media—i.e. the persistent, if evidence-free, idea of a "MAGA base in revolt"—as leverage to extract concessions in the real world.

You wouldn't be able to put a French flag in your X handle today, but for all that lost American equipment and spilled blood on the beaches of Normandy.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US.
France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.)
Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors.
NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

The “Great Satan” doesn’t want them here living it up anymore. Send them on the next C130 inbound to Kharg Island.

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

To all members of our armed forces in active engagement with the enemy I recite from the book of Isaiah:
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’
And they said, ‘Here am I; send me!’’
God bless and protect you!

Thank God for this hero’s quick actions to eliminate a mass shooter. I am deeply concerned as we are clearly seeing either lone wolf actors or sleeper cell activation inside the homeland with the events in Austin, New York, and today in Michigan and right here in the Commonwealth

Utterly fascinating and well researched breakdown of how VA has been down this road before on constitutional amendments and the legal challenges against them.

TRUMP PREPARING TO FIRE DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM: WSJ

This decision should have been made long ago. @KristiNoem used @DHSgov as her personal cosplay promotional platform with her bf in tow. This department is vital to our national security and needs competent leadership.

Couldn’t be prouder Virginia men and woman are over there performing their duty representing the Old Dominion as warriors. They showed the Ayatollah what VA has always stood for: Sic semper tyrannis

Too few Americans understand that the whole time we were fighting in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and in the Horn of Africa, that we were actually fighting Iran all along.
Not sure why this is a mystery to so many Americans.
Finally, instead of fighting the claws of the lion, we are chopping off its head.

The bombing must continue until resistance is futile and the Iranian people can choose a peaceful course forward for themselves.
Mark Halperin@MarkHalperin
Regarding reports that the White House is willing to negotiate an end to the conflict, I can report with high confidence that what the U.S. would demand in any peace agreement is highly unlikely in the extreme to be accepted by anyone representing the Iranian side. Not to mention that the Iranians have zero credibility with the White House as trusted negotiating partners at this point.

European “leadership” is weak, fickle and afraid of their own shadow. They wouldn’t understand decisive action if it hit them in the face - and they certainly don’t know how to prevent a wide spread war - but they can sure as hell drag us into one. “America first means ‘even if it’s just America’” Those that believe that America First should include the Europeans - havnt been paying attention
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC
To say I’m disappointed in the joint statement by leaders from France, Germany and the UK regarding Operation Epic Fury is an understatement. It is so sad to see western democracies lose their passion for justice and a sense of right and wrong the further away from their shores the event occurs. Everyone in Europe is rightly impassioned about Russia invading Ukraine. But when it comes to the long suffering people of Iran, Europe has been pathetic. To the leaders of France, Germany and the UK: the Iranian people are not wrong to demand the end to their oppression from the bloodthirsty ayatollah’s regime that has American and European blood on their hands. You collectively are the ones that are wrong by refusing to come to the Iranian people’s aid and adding insult to injury, you’re suggesting we should continue to negotiate with religious Nazis. It is pathetic. How far Western Europe has fallen. To the Iranian people: President Trump heard your cries. Help has arrived in large measure. To our European allies: you have gone pathetically soft and lost your zeal for confronting evil apparently unless it’s on your front porch. So sad. thehill.com/policy/interna…
