There's rumors of ICE coming to where my kid goes to school. True or not, it has people on edge.
Last night she was worried about a friend who is a US citizen but resides in another country.
Here I am, having to tell my child to ask them for a warrant and to film what she sees.
This is not OK.

Congratulations Abigail Spanberger.
I can't wait to work alongside my union siblings to force her to go back on her campaign promise of not repealing right to work.

@ssurovell.bsky.social before Virginia Senate passes redistricting amendment: What do you do when one side refuses to play by the rules? Do you continue to play by the rules and concede defeat? Or do you take actions, even if unsavory, to protect the principles of democratic government?

Listening to these GOP members cry about redistricting, and history of losing "their seats" (they ain't YOUR seats anyway) is a tell--they KNOW exactly how Virginia voters are feeling and how they would vote on retaliating against Trump's redistricting if given the chance.

I think I'm just about ready to offer a different Radical Centrist Take. There's functionally almost no difference between a five star QB and high four star QB in terms of potential for elite performance, but there's a massive one in hype. There shouldn't be!
Elite QB recruiting is a crapshoot!

Radical centrist Arch take: He has already flopped relative to his billing. At best he'll turn in 1.5 seasons of good play before leaving college football. He will not meet expectations. But he'll still be pretty good and take Texas to at least one playoff w/ above-average QB numbers

Related, I've learned that Nexstar has a 75% controlling interest in the CW, which explains why they're airing that garbage at all.
I imagine my email to them is going to fall on deaf ears.

Obviously AD still needs house cleaning (though word is Whit will be hands off with a new Football-only GM to handle that stuff), as well as a rumoured ~9m NIL infusion outside of House money, is it still a bad job? @splitzoneduo.com @alexkirshner.com (is Richard even on Bluesky?)
