DC is facing a jobs crisis.
Rushing the legalization of autonomous vehicles is irresponsible given the anticipated AI-related job displacement and disruptions that put countless workers at risk.
We took a look at Virginia redistricting.
Is redistricting in trouble? Is @GovernorVA in a jam because of it?
@Rob_Flaherty phoned a friend who does a lot of work in Virginia to find out.

Governor Spanberger just vetoed the Fairfax casino.
75% of Fairfax voters opposed it. A majority of Fairfax GA members and the BOS opposed it.
Her call for a single independent gaming regulator? That's the right instinct. VA can't keep legislating gambling one bill at a time.
INBOX: State Sen. Barbara Favola — who represents most of Arlington County — has endorsed Dorothy McAuliffe in the race for #VA07.
“She will be a strong, steady voice for public education and for the families who depend on it.”
Virginia Democrats won Fairfax County by 213,924 votes and immediately decided to find out how many of them they could lose.
75% of Fairfax County voters oppose a casino. 50% strongly oppose it. @GovernorVA should veto it.

Joanne Smith, a 32 year veteran of the U.S. Army & Virginia Army National Guard, says Ray Clemons, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police of Virginia, got it right in his in public letter to the Governor on March 15:

At a time when the rule of law feels more fragile than ever, Virginia should not be in the business of rewarding those who treat it as optional.

New: The Virginia Fraternal Order of Police is urging lawmakers to reject a skill games compromise.
President Ray Clemons says, “Make no mistake: the illegal skill game problem in Virginia was created by slot manufacturers. They did not stumble into this market. These out-of-state companies deliberately flooded convenience stores, gas stations, and restaurants with illegal machines.”
“The General Assembly needs send a clear message that Virginia will not reward operators who deliberately defy state law,” he added.
Mark Warner takes the lead in protecting Virginians once again, being a lead sponsor of the TRAPs Act, which will find new ways to help stop Americans from being scammed. Thank you @MarkWarner!
