Northam admin's decision to issue a mask mandate for schools comes after meetings like this... Reading this story made me so profoundly sad https://t.co/z25AiTkwRU
JUST IN: Comment from @GovernorVA office on some school divisions opting out of masking. They say a few divisions need additional clarification, adding they will provide that shortly and expect compliance. @NBC12
NEW: More than a dozen D.C.-area theaters will require proof of vaccination for entry. More are expected to join the list in the coming weeks. Read about the join statement here:

If schools that have already made announcements to make masks optional refuse to comply, @GovernorVA says “they should have a frank discussion with their legal counsel .”
The governor mentions this law was bipartisan but largely dodges a question on how the state will enforce it. Some districts have already made masks optional.
"It's the law of the land and we expect our school districts throughout the commonwealth of Va. to follow the law."
Northam makes it clear that he expects all Virginia school systems to require mask-wearing in schools this fall. A law passed by the General Assembly earlier this year requires all systems to hold 5-day-per-week learning in person and to follow all CDC mitigation guidance.

The Nationals are reportedly trading Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Dodgers and shipping Kyle Schwarber to Boston.
It would be the first time that three teammates who made the All-Star team that year were traded away midseason.
What #SimoneBiles did by pulling out of the final for her own mental wellness takes an entirely different kind of strength, one we should be learning from and commending just as much if not more.
One of the fundamental Qs of this race -- and perhaps the '21/'22 races more broadly -- is whether the anti-Trump intensity in the burbs that propelled Biden to the WH and Ds to power in the Congress will continue -- or not.
D candidates in VA clearly trying to make it happen.
🚨Unvaccinated people aren't a monolith. It's a huge mistake to treat them all as anti-vaxxers who are being selfish or antagonistic.
I spoke to @RheaBoydMD about why some folks are still unvaccinated, what to do about it, & why she's still hopeful. 1/

Ben Shapiro is the best at what he does. He dominates Facebook like no other web publisher, and we built a tool to explore that domination:
