Virginian here who lived under Youngkin’s governance. I’d say he has pretty thin gruel to run from here - if that counts for anything. But ran as moderate and governed as a MAGA adjacent politician.
MAGA was never meant to end with Trump.
Movements don’t die...they evolve.

Can anyone point to anything Youngkin accomplished as Gov? Nothing but tilling the ground to be followed by a Democratic sweep of statewide offices and a potentially historic Dem majority in the General Assembly! Only good thing he accomplished.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today
