NEW from me: More of @GlennYoungkin’s lab schools approved, but not without controversy #valeg @AnneHolton @AimeeGuidera @arotherham wvtf.org/news/2024-04-2…
"accelerate the approval process" = approve the projects before they have a solid, credible plan for how to remain financially solvent and also meet educational goals. (At the last Lab School Advisory Commission meeting, they voted to cut the number of pre-approval reviews down.)

"As Democrats continue negotiations with the governor, we will stand strong in our commitment to keep substantial funding for health care in the final budget...we will reject any efforts to undermine the progress made in recent years to expand access to quality, affordable care."

The 2017 Unite the Right Rally, at which neo-Nazis and white supremacists marched in Charlottesville and UVA, was a chilling reminder of the bigotry, antisemitism, and racism of the far-right. Trump's characterization of that rally as a "little peanut" is absolutely disgusting.

Hardworking families deserve to know that Governor Youngkin blocked a bipartisan, fair, and commonsense budget that would have rejected tax handouts to the wealthiest Virginians, invested in schools, and lowered the cost of medicine. Watch our new ad ⤵️

My message on @GovernorVA's dangerous decision to veto two important bills to protect victims and survivors of #domesticviolence from firearms. richmond.com/zzstyling/view… via @RTDNEWS
Nooo, say it ain't so!! 😭😭

On @kojoshow @marcussimon says re: skill games: "We wanted to put some regulations on them to protect consumers. The Governor, rather than protecting consumers, wanted to protect the big corporate casinos" so he put in geographic limits keeping the machines far from casinos.
.@marcussimon on @kojoshow re: what ppl should know about @SenLouiseLucas; "One of the things people don't understand about her is that she means what she says. That doesn't mean she can't be moved or won't negotiate, but don't dismiss what she says because you'll end up losing."
.@marcussimon on @kojoshow says of the new Kumbaya moment on the budget: "The Governor has now figured out that the best way to engage with the General Assembly is to actually engage with the General Assembly." Suggests maybe he has learned a bit from the Glenn-Dome fiasco.
BREAKING: Today the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled that the Virginia Department of Corrections (VDOC) unlawfully kept our client Jose Garcia Vasquez in prison for an EXTRA 18 MONTHS by withholding sentence credits he earned. 🧵 Our statement: acluva.org/press-releases…
NEW: @VaHouse drops HJ asking @GlennYoungkin for a special session. 📄👉lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp60… I’ll see everyone back Monday, May 13 #valeg
Close, but not quite enough in the Senate to override the gov's veto on @JeremyMcPike bill to allow school construction and modernization local tax option.

Why the big rush and cutting the review process? Could it be that it's NOT the great idea that's been touted. Ding, ding, ding. Our Governor and his appointees KNOW that if they receive the proper scrutiny, they'd be stopped. #Labschoolsareglorifiedcharters
"accelerate the approval process" = approve the projects before they have a solid, credible plan for how to remain financially solvent and also meet educational goals. (At the last Lab School Advisory Commission meeting, they voted to cut the number of pre-approval reviews down.)
@vaplan2018 His staff must absolutely hate him. They cannot be this incompetent. No way.
Happy Tuesday! This is a completely random post that @SenatorHashmi is one of my favorites in the entire Virginia leg bc of her commitment to humanitarian values. Grateful to have her here.
True‼️
.@marcussimon on @kojoshow re: what ppl should know about @SenLouiseLucas; "One of the things people don't understand about her is that she means what she says. That doesn't mean she can't be moved or won't negotiate, but don't dismiss what she says because you'll end up losing."
I agree!! No surprise but @DelCiaPrice85 was excellent
Always a great listen! I'm a BUY on @DelCiaPrice85 becoming a permanent part of the crew! (And great to hear the @Drumstick make it into the show! Everyone was a BUY, naturally, and @Lopez4VA gave the extra plug for Virginia dairy industry if you need a guilt-free motivation!)
@vaplan2018 @Drumstick Facts
@PoliticsMichael @vaplan2018 @thedrmikejones Exactly. Tax breaks for billionaires and fines for the rest of us.
@vaplan2018 @thedrmikejones It is just another way to criminalize poverty. What an awful man. It makes me miss the so-called "compassionate conservatives" because this NAR and prosperity gospel garbage is deadly.
@vaplan2018 Please put this on a t-shirt and sell it.
That doesn’t sound germane!
Now for a discussion of whether gov's recs to @marcussimon ghost gun ban bill--which take out all the language banning ghost guns and instead add some new mandatory minimum sentencing language--are germane. I'll let you guess how this one turned out.
massive history teacher vibes
this tie is really something
More multitasking: @lashrecseaird and @AaronRouseVaBch stop during recess to talk to a group of kids touring the Capitol.
@vaplan2018 @Drumstick Have you seen the home video of someone leaving a drumstick out for more than 24 hours and it never melted? 🤢 It’s not even ice cream. 😂
@vaplan2018 @CreighDeeds @lashrecseaird @Drumstick @SalimVASenate We have them in the house too
@vaplan2018 @CreighDeeds @Drumstick They’re so hard you have to bite into them! 😂
The murder of 3 UVA students on Grounds & support of law enforcement wasn't enough. You can't change hearts & minds when someone has neither.
Feisty @CreighDeeds fights to override the gov's veto on his SB383 to prevent firearms in any building owned by a public university. "Three students in OUR custody were shot POINT BLANK. They were entrusted to us by their parents." But the GOP aren't interested & it dies anyway.
These same senators berated our volunteers as wanting to disarm law-abiding gun owners & being soft on crime. The hypocrisy would be dizzying if it wasn't so dangerous.
.@RussetPerry on the motion to override the gov's veto on her bill closing the boyfriend loophole: "If you think we should let a boyfriend beat his girlfriend & then go get a gun and kill her, then you should vote for the Governor's veto." 18 GOP members do think that's okay.
