The DoJ apparently has the authority to prosecute foreign leaders, but not our own president. Thanks CJ Roberts.

Dominion has already sunk $9 billion into this project. I live just a few miles from the dock where they load all the turbines onto the ship and it is constantly full of parts. There is no way Dominion just walks away from this investment.
Dominion Energy is suing to block the Trump administration order halting work on its wind farm 27 miles off the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Today wrapped up my third semester running a program specifically for kids who, for numerous reasons, just don't fit in at public schools. Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, medically-complex. Seeing how happy they are, with new friends who just don't care about those things, makes it so worth it.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.
Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Let's talk about tolls. This is a bit of a sore spot for me, because I grew up in an area that did not have a lot of toll roads. But this is a conversation about my current home: Hampton Roads, Virginia. Home to about 1.7 million people broken up into seven cities and LOTS of water. (1/9)

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
