Saturday

The Virginia Supreme Court made a partisan ruling based on a stupid technicality. The MAGAts were out in full force trying to influence the vote and this court decision. They have been trying to impeach Governor Spanberger since the day she was elected - for spurious reasons, of course - and they have been relentless. It would take enormous courage to go against this ruling, but that’s what we need right now.
