Youngkin is the most deceptive Governor I have ever met. He has not been honest about changes to VMSDEP originating from his office. His attempts to cover his ass and use veterans to score political points is disgusting and is just another data point in a failed administration.
On VMSDEP language, @GovernorVA says it was "jammed into the budget and should have never been there."
Reminder: Youngkin negotiated the budget, and then signed it just hours after it was passed.
Dems may be to blame for Tuesday, but R's also play a role in where we are today.
⚪️🫂 Luka Modrić’s message for Toni Kroos.
“Having a hard time writing these words.
The football world is sad because a historic footballer is leaving, and I admit you, I am also very sad. Man you are a legend of this sport and a legend of Real Madrid.
I really enjoyed playing by your side. It's truly been an honour to share Real Madrid's centre-field with you.
You have qualities that make you a unique and special footballer, and there will never be another Toni Kroos.
Unforgettable European nights, titles, the magic of the Bernabéu....we will never forget this golden time in the club of our lives.
You achieved everything but we still have one left, let’s go for the 15th.
I’ll miss you my friend”.
Breaking: @AaronRouseVA and @delterrykilgore say lawmakers will be back in Richmond at some point to work on legalizing skill games. They say they can do it because lawmakers did not officially adjourn today’s special session.
Little known fact about me – in high school, I was just as much a basketball player as a football player. And, Virginia, as your Lieutenant Governor, I promise you we’re not letting extreme attacks on your rights and freedoms anywhere near that basket 🏀
@AaronRouseVaBch We spend a lot of time focusing on what lawmakers disagree on, so I was happy to highlight some legislation that passed with bipartisan support today.

This is a win for our Commonwealth. This legislation protects athletes and permits Virginia’s institutions and collectives to create and negotiate NIL opportunities. I’m proud to worked with Delegate Austin to move this ball forward & thank Gov. Youngkin for signing it into law.
@TylerEnglander@GovernorVA@TylerEnglander sorry no one from our industry was invited for these amendments discussion. Dozen of outside stakeholder (Casino Agents and Lobbyist) help write the amendment @GovernorVA .
@TylerEnglander@GovernorVA With the amendments, he clearly made a side with casinos !!! ITS not an amendments it's a substitute bill which was done to safe guard casinos in Virginia who are in VA only from few years and we store owners are having business and paying taxes from many year well before casinos
Breaking: Hundreds of stores across Virginia won’t be selling lottery tickets today to protest @GovernorVA amendments to a bill meant to legalize skill games in Virginia.
@SenLouiseLucas@BillStanley @AaronRouseVaBch and team we are so thankfull to you all that we still have hopes in our system. Without you all 1000's of family will loose thier income and livelihood. 10's of thousands of employees families are dependent on you.
Midlothian Rosie's and Danville casino can open with 2500 feet of church but existing small mom amd pop shop cannot have 4 skill games . Kudos to our friend @GovernorVA who once during the campaign was all about small business owners @TylerEnglander@BillStanley .
