10 year political hack. Escaped to finance.

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

To any Republicans who support this...I'd really like to know what's conservative about doubling legislator pay, creating sales tax referendums, and keeping tax carve outs for data centers?

[Tyler Englander @TylerEnglander]

Speaker Don Scott says this is a bipartisan budget.

Republican Delegates Terry Austin and Rob Bloxom are here.

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

.@grok is Goldman Sachs an underwriter for this deal?

[Financial Times @FT]

Goldman Sachs expects SpaceX’s AI revenue to surge 100 times by 2030 https://t.co/T6DyELyfpN

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

.@grok is Morgan Stanley an underwriter for this IPO?

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

JUST IN: $2 trillion Morgan Stanley expects SpaceX $SPCX to reach $3.4 trillion in annual revenue by 2040.

I hope the New York Times genuinely recognizes the catastrophic damage they did here - to journalism and to victims of abuse.

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

@TheWizardsQuest *Whispers* It’s already illegal…

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

Jeez Senator, you could just make it illegal for felons to possess guns in the first place...

[Senator Scott Surovell - ssurovell.bsky.social @ssurovell]

Felons & wife beaters across VA rejoice! You can still buy a gun from a private seller for the time being even though we changed the law to specifically fix 1 judge's complaint & you can still get that AR-15 from a private seller

[Scott Taylor @Scotttaylorva]

Is there any group that the new Governor of Virginia hasn't pissed off?

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

Or better yet: @grok When's the last time the VA gov went this long without a budget under one party control?

"The current 2026 situation stands out as one of the longest and most severe budget delays in Virginia's modern history (post-2000), regardless of party control."

[Ben Knotts @revbenknotts]

Hey @grok! When was the last time Virginia legislators were this delayed in approving a budget?

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

Can X create a tag for "AI Slop"? @elonmusk @nikitabier I'm sick of these "nobody is telling you..." "This is not just X, this is Y!" posts filling up my timeline. "Bookmark this! Turn on notifications!"

That you broke the law last fall?

[Mamie Locke @SenatorLocke]

We will remember in November.

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

@svkenney @srob_ I'll add "Harry Byrd and the Changing Face of Virginia Politics" by J. Harvie Wilkinson III. Both are good reads for Virginia political history, I personally favor Wilkinson's

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

…It was never going to be “temporary”

[Senator Lashrecse Aird @lashrecseaird]

….and an easy choice it will be.

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

The SCOVA quoted the Virginia Constitution in their decision and Dems are losing their minds.🤯

Marc Elias suggested we dissolve Virginia’s government for literally upholding Virginia’s Constitution's.

…It works both ways Marc

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯

Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

Hey man, I agree that the Dem controlled VA government is dysfunctional but this is probably a bridge too far.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

VA Const.

"whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal."

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

@AnthonyMKreis 🥨

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

One would be wrong:

If any district "is declared unlawful or unconstitutional, in whole or in part, by order of any state or federal court, the Commission shall be convened to determine and propose a redistricting plan to remedy the unlawful or unconstitutional district."

[Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS @AnthonyMKreis]

Well, one could argue they have no power in years not ending in zero. Doofus.

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

The nicest weather in the USA today will occur around Dallas, TX. Windows open kind of day.

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

Well…she said that about gerrymandering and we all know what happened next.

[Tyler Englander @TylerEnglander]

New: I just asked Governor Abigail Spanberger if she supported getting rid of the Supreme Court for redistricting.

She said, “No.”

[Dan Webb @DWebbVA]

When your illegal rigging gets struck down by the court, rig some more!

[Amanda Litman @amandalitman]

This is excellent creative thinking on how to overturn the redistricting decision: Lower the retirement age of justices on the VA Supreme Court and whoosh, they all have to go. Appoint new judges, rehear case, get a different ruling. https://t.co/3ve9mhLkgz
