  3. The Center for Politics has indicated that Youngkin wrote a letter to incoming governor Spanberger that essentially mansplained university governance and went so far as to tell her what she can and can not do. This was just mentioned on the WUSA-9 live stream of the inauguration.

    I'm so glad Virginia is finally getting another governor that is willing to stand up against this type of misogyny.

  10. The Supreme Court is allowing Virginia's Governor to cancel thousands of voter registrations for "non-citizen status" mere days before the election.

    Confirm your registration has not been purged here: vote.elections.virginia.gov/Vo.

    If you are able, take your passport, birth certificate, driver’s license, utility bills, and other documents to prove your citizenship and residence to your polling place for same-day registration and provisional voting. This is all B.S. that voters need to take these precautions to make their voices heard.

  11. US Dist Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles rejected arguments from attys for Gov #Youngkin (R), who had signed an executive order Aug 7 to expedite the removal of #RegisteredVoters who checked a box on their driver’s license applications indicating they were not US citizens. FULLY QUALIFIED VOTERS who simply skipped or overlooked the question have been caught up in the purge, as have those who became #citizens years after their first interaction w/ the DMV.

  17. terry mcauliffe did fine first #va governorship, and when he came back to run again he used #hillaryclinton failed playbook. #Youngkin cleaned his clock by simply going to EVERY single #virginia county and having people sign the side of his bus to prove it. And putting up #bigass #farmersforyoungkin signs.

    Democrats need to show up. Not just in swing states but everywhere. #virginia is in play
    Because of the #rural vote.

    "Ward, a former executive with an international shipping company, has been serving as an adviser to Youngkin on real estate" - and now he's appointed to "improve operations of state agencies." 🙄

  24. Shutting its own program down mid-year!!??

    "The Virginia Department of Education in February launched an academic recovery and coaching program to help students recover from the pandemic’s impact on learning and attendance. But Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration decided to scrap the program, and it is scheduled to end Dec. 31...more than 7,200 students will lose its services."

  25. "Youngkin “abused that privilege that he has, that privilege that the people have bestowed on him. He used it arbitrarily and capriciously to deny the franchise – that sacred franchise – from people that he deemed unworthy to vote.”

  26. "The man [Youngkin] we saw before the results streamed in was a guy absolutely filled to the brim with all the confidence in the world. Because how could he not be? He was so confident he put his reputation on the line with these elections, promising a whole list of things he’d push hard for should the Republicans take the legislature.

    And then?

    He ate shit."

  28. Democrats gain control of Virginia state legislature in blow to Republican plans

    Democrats have secured full control of the Virginia state legislature, winning a majority in the house of delegates and depriving the Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, of the opportunity to enact a 15-week abortion ban.

    Democrats maintained their majority in the state senate and flipped control of the house of delegates, where Republicans previously held a narrow advantage. Democrats’ victories quashed Youngkin’s hopes of securing a Republican-controlled legislature that would be able to advance his policy agenda, casting doubt upon his prospects as a potential presidential candidate

  30. @DemDifference
    Gov #Youngkin on #ThisWeek this morning claimed Biden has been "a disaster" and cited (among other things) "runaway #inflation."

    This guy doesn't have a CLUE what "runaway inflation" is. We have the lowest inflation in the industrialized world (3.7%.)

    By comparison, UK inflation is currently 6.7%.

    "Runaway inflation": After WWII, the Deutchmark was so worthless, people were using it for toilet paper.

  31. "Election officials working under Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) have admitted to removing 'nearly 3,400 qualified voters from the state’s rolls.' The Youngkin administration originally discovered the mistake at the beginning of October but grossly underestimated the number of voters affected."

    ~ Rebecca Crosby and Tesnim Zekeria
