“Gov. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican whose surprising election in a blue-trending state set off instant talk of a presidential run, has tapped the brakes on 2024, telling advisers and donors that his sole focus is ...

2/ on Virginia’s legislative elections in the fall,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Youngkin hopes to flip the state legislature to a Republican majority. That could earn him a closer look from rank-and-file Republicans across the country, who so far have been ...
3/ indifferent to the presidential chatter surrounding him in the news media, and among heavyweight donors he would need to keep pace alongside more prominent candidates. He has yet to crack 1 percent in polls about the potential Republican field.”
Virginians: please vote in state elections. Don't let Youngkin turn your legislature red. The US has a majority of red state legislatures. Flip them blue. Not sure which Dem to vote for? Search online for who the Dem party endorses in your district.

2/ approval of the “provision of lethal aid” to Russia in its war in Ukraine and Egypt’s secret plans to supply rockets to Russia. The charges carry a potential maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. ~The Washington Post
