I want to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise, but the number of people showing themselves to be untrustworthy or unkind lately, is… well… a lot.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Really disappointed, but not surprised, VA has not joined this effort. Another reason to vote for Spanberger for Governor.
15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more.
Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.
