FYI
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. Learn more from @David_J_Bier.

I'll repeat: @SecDef should resign.
More: Following a series of leaks about military planning for the Panama Canal and the Middle East and Musk’s visit to the Pentagon, Hegseth began to lash out and grew suspicious that senior military officials, as well as some of his closest advisers, were leaking to undermine him.
At one point, Hegseth even demanded an FBI probe into the leaks — which some of his aides advised against, sources said. There was already an active inspector general investigation focusing on Hegseth, and bringing in the FBI might only invite more scrutiny, those aides advised.

Over 135K Virginians have early voted, with over 104K in Dem Primary (left) and nearly 31K in GOP (right)
There are more competitive Dem primaries so that’s largely why more early votes on that side
But interesting Dem primary voters much more likely to vote by mail than GOP
ALT Democratic primary early votes with 104,275 total votes so far
ALT GOP primary early votes with 30,878 total votes so far

This rhetoric has no place in Virginia’s political discourse. Senator Reeves’ attempt to fundraise off of a veiled threat to murder his fellow Virginians should horrify us all.
This weekend, Senator Bryce @ReevesVA (R) tweeted a vaguely coded death threat against Democrats.
He hoped his Republican audience would get the reference and you wouldn't. #Virginia #VAPolitics @GoadGatsby @socialistdogmom

Congratulations @GovernorVA for creating jobs…. in Michigan! Gov turned down a 3.5 billion @Ford plant in Southside Virginia to protect us all from China. Hard working Virginians lose out again from a person who made millions in China. Unbelievable.
