Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Abigail Spanberger (D) Sworn in as Virginia's First Woman Governor

[Abigail Spanberger @SpanbergerForVA]

I am honored to serve as the 75th Governor of Virginia.

It is with a profound sense of duty to all Virginians that I assume the Governorship and pledge myself to work tirelessly on behalf of our Commonwealth — our home.

The CFP semifinals will feature 4 former Nick Saban assistants: Cignetti against Lanning and Cristobal against Smart or Golding.

Who knew that the most Saban-like Saban protege might turn out to be scowling Curt Cignetti.

Kalen DeBoer is now 20-5 vs. nationally ranked teams as an FBS head coach. He’s 8-3 at Alabama. He’s also 4-0 against AP top 10 teams in true road games.

[Bruce Feldman @BruceFeldmanCFB]

Kalen DeBoer is now 3-1 vs Top 10 teams at Alabama. Over the past four years, DeBoer is 7-2 vs Top 10 teams and his teams came back from behind in five of those games

ROLL TIDE

27 unanswered at one point. Such a resilient team. Plenty of mistakes, but finds ways to win over and over. Respect the hell outta Coach DeBoer and the way he keeps this team focused and together.

Onto Indiana… 🌹

Peak Saban that he can’t even let his birthday cake distract him from the ball

Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen shared video of his family singing happy birthday Sunday night.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the governor of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate and former president of the United States and now current president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken. Nothing I can say can bring back Charlie Kirk."

“Spanberger and Sherrill stand as an emerging model of leader, one whose experience combines maternal nurturing with ‘Who’s your daddy?’ badassery in a way that confounds partisan molds.”

Operation Warp Speed was President Trump’s greatest first-term accomplishment, cutting through bureaucracy to rapidly develop COVID vaccines to end the pandemic. Now, by abandoning mRNA research, that legacy- and our future ability to save lives- goes poof https://t.co/29aBL1Fub0

“Democrats have policy plans on their websites about good things that they support. I still think we have good ideas. But when you prioritize everything, you actually prioritize nothing.”

I've always been curious about a part of Rory McIlroy's career that barely exists: his commitment to East Tennessee St.

What I found was not just a signed letter of intent, but also a unique link between Johnson City, TN and golf on the island of Ireland: https://t.co/eO6pN3AWWT

I got to talk to @LGAustinDavis at @thestatesforum last week about why state-level power is more important than ever — and the ideas he’s prioritized in Pennsylvania that can be modeled elsewhere around the country.

He’s a bright rising star we should all be paying attention to.

[Ian Sams @IanSams]

It can be hard to find big ideas that may offer a path forward. Even when you see a good take, it can get lost in the shuffle. @thestatesforum has a valuable new resource: its own central clearinghouse of ideas to spark debate about fixing America

Things nationally are chaotic and destructive, so @thestatesforum is going local: bringing together the best leaders & ideas from the states

Spent time at its launch this week. What a hope injection. Bold state actions really can lead us out of this mess

This op-ed was on Mamdani, but it’s an emergent norm within the Dem Party’s new era: Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill lead Dem tickets in Virginia and New Jersey, both emerged from outside the establishment in 2018 having never run for office before. Super authentic leaders.
