Our colleges, students, and economy benefit when students from around the world come to Virginia schools. So why is the Trump Administration revoking their visas without explanation? @markwarner.bsky.social and I demand answers about this flagrant violation of free speech and due process.

From inflation to immigration, Donald Trump's approval ratings are tanking in real time, and with each passing day, it's only getting worse for the President.

I am outraged that—in the aftermath of last January’s water crisis—the Trump Administration has canceled $12 million in federal funding for improvements to Richmond’s water treatment plant. This is unacceptable.

Our home is waterfront on the Virginia side of the Chesapeake Bay, near the mouth of the Rappahannock River. Our skies run the gamut from green to black. Most of the old salts around here are convinced a green sky means a tornado. This Scientific American article narrows it down a bit.

If supporting Israel was right for Dr King, why isn't it good enough for YOU ? Israel and the Jews are facing extinction. I know it's not the "in"thing to do, but when your liberal friends are aiding your enemy, and your new president's BFF welcomes him into office with a N*** salute, do something.

When Bush Jr left office, there was a smooth 12 second delay before the Obama White House pages came up.Masterfully done, appropriate tributes and thank yous, as has been done before. I decided to watch the website turnover again this year. This is what I saw. I'm only a messenger.
