The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

He forgot to add that beneath the farce also can lurk tragedy.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

But Obama spent $376 million.
1. Bush requested the spending, not Obama.
2. Congress approved it.
3. The money was spent to upgrade the aging infrastructure in the 200-year-old building.
4. They didn’t tear down 1/3 of the White House.
5. They didn’t lie about it to the American people.
