My competitiveness is frustrating me today (it's not productive). Trying very hard to shut off that part of my brain today.

Gov. Youngkin's latest pick for the Board of Education, Dale Sturdifen, is likely to create a stir.
The former state police officer/Marine veteran also worked as a former field director for Rep. Bob Good -- one of the most conservative members of Congress.

The basics on voting and counting in Virginia today.
Election officials are gonna try to get early votes reported faster to avoid election-night mirages.
But it's probably gonna vary according tothe capabilities and workload of each city and county.

🧵Fox & Friends spoke with a “panel of Virginia parents” this morning to discuss how “parental rights” are a major midterm issue and wouldn’t you know it, a bunch are also right-wing activists. 🧵 [h/t @tylermonroe7
I know they are inevitable, but I hate making mistakes. I take them all so personally. And rewind and rewatch them over and over.
Nothing I'm talking about is so crucial that anything terrible will happen and yet my brain behaves as if it is. I struggle to be kind to myself, as I would to someone else, and find it hard to put things behind me.
The irresistible urge to "reply all" when all the parents are on an email when they should have been bcc'ed.

The law of Virginia has been settled on this since 2020, @GovernorVA. ⬇️
You can’t use executive action to overturn § 2.2-3900, the Virginia Human Rights Act.
If you want a debate, then we’ll see you at a microphone.
If you want to break the law, then we’ll see you in court.
Take three minutes and watch @pwcdanica give an AMAZING speech defending a bill to ban discrimination against LGBTQ+ Virginians. This is what Democratic leadership looks like.

A despicable display of bigotry and ignorance from the man who ran for office on the false promise of protecting Virginia students. washingtonpost.com/education…
