I really want to tell you about the proposed legislation to end ICE agreements in Virginia but the legislation is still in the work. I expect the bills to be introduced next week and hopefully head in committee in the coming weeks. Senator Salim and Delegates Guzman and Lopez will be patrons.
Happening now: ACLU of Virginia Executive Director Mary Bauer pushes for new legislation that will end Virginia 287 (G) agreements with ICE and local law enforcement.

Just left the federal courthouse for where a judge set the trial date for Sprink to begin on March 16. There is a pending issue on the indictment signed by Lindsey Halligan who does not have a valid appointment. The case is still going on as planned but that could alter Sprinkle's charges for CSAM.
Just left the federal courthouse where Sprinkle was denied a conditional pre-trial release. Defense argued that Sprinkle wasn't a flight risk because he traveled to England and Canada after the FBI searched his apartment. FBI didn't charge Sprinkle for 2 months.
CBS 6 is reporting a Democratic staffer has been arrested for distribution of CSAM. I personally wouldn't recommend reading the criminal complaint because it includes graphic detail.

Lots of lying by the UVA Rector today! Multiple instances in this thread.
Senator Deeds asks UVA Rector Rachel Sheridan if the UVA board of visitors had been working with Governor Youngkin. Sheridan denies and says that the $4500 FOIA involving texts shows that she didn't work with Youngkin.

When I talk about leaving the door open for Trump voters, and about looking for recruits instead of alliances or convenience, this is exactly what I mean
No one had to compromise any values here. No one made the left more paletable by throwing trans people under the bus. And yet, here she is

I don't want to share the video but you are going to see it somewhere. You'll see an ICE agent shoot a legal observer as they attempt to drive away. If there's any humanity in you, you'll be angry. I want you to stay angry at the people who are lying to cover this up.

I watched one episode of the John Fredericks Show and it's terrible. Fredericks is gross, incompetent, and whiny. There's a warning for Joe Morrisey at the end of this video.
