Lt. Governor appoints counsel for UVA, which has been a big issue for UVA since Trump took office, as UVA's counsel is...not on UVA's side.

Internal polls had Trump winning 400 electoral votes against Biden. To turn it from that into the loss we got is impressive.
Biden shat the bed, and left it to Harris to clean up.

This was a big part of Elshtain's use of "tragedy" in the War on Terror -- tragedy as exculpatory, rather than damning

This piece is fantastic. "Free speech warriors" were so transparent from the start, yet so many centrist liberals saw it as high mindedness and reflections of their own virtue to "reach across" on this issue.

My kids were at school in a really progressive area, school board meetings were about creative alternatives. They set up outdoor classrooms that worked even for cold weather! So many possibilities when each meeting isn't shouting "we need to open the schools with no precautions!"
