Ninety years ago today, the @VAStateParks was established under the @VirginiaDCR, which also celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. (1/2)

Let’s go Team USA! Good luck at the World Cup, @USMNT.

Delegate Paul Krizek says “we have a deal” on a legal recreational marijuana market in the budget. He says there will be a press conference with Governor Spanberger next week unveiling the agreement.

Del. Paul Krizek says they have a deal on a retail cannabis market with Gov. Spanberger. The official announcement will be on Tuesday morning.

Virginia is out of this world! I’m overjoyed to see Chesapeake native @USCG Commander Andre Douglas selected to fly on @NASA’s Artemis III mission. A husband, father, Coastie, youth mentor, and Astronaut, Andre has dedicated his life to service of his country. We’re proud of you, Andre!

NOW: @SpanbergerForVA says she, @KrizekForVA and @lashrecseaird have had “substantial” conversations about getting a legal recreational marijuana bill in the budget #valeg

It’s repetitive but still vital to say. There is NOTHING to Trump’s vote fraud assertions. There was nothing to them in 2016. Nothing in 2020. Nothing in 2024. Nothing in 2026. NOTHING AT ALL.

“Today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.” Apparently our nitwit Secretary of War(drobe) thinks a D-Day commemoration is an appropriate time to push his far right ideology in Europe. thehill.com/policy/internati…

Today, was my first meeting on the Joint Commission responsible for the oversight of the creation of a legal cannabis market. And folks, we will make the transition to a legal market. We will get it done. In a way that prioritizes public health and safety.

Disappointing that electronic media have ignored the best comparison to America250: our 1976 Bicentennial. President Gerald Ford was in the midst of a highly competitive contest with Jimmy Carter yet Ford resisted demeaning the ceremonies for partisan purposes. But America had higher standards back then. Here’s an idea: TV could use videotape archives to show how a dignified POTUS handled the situation.

New: @lashrecseaird and @KrizekForVA say they would like to see language to create a legal recreational marijuana market in the budget. They say they aren’t trying to ram anything down anyone’s throat and that they want things to be collaborative with @GovernorVA. Krizek and Aird say they haven’t met with the governor’s office, but are willing to compromise on certain provisions. More tonight on @8NEWS

.@KrizekForVA now VC of Cannabis Market Transition Commish: 5 yrs in we still don't have an adult-use retail market. Cannabis is legal to grow & use but we continue to lack a safe regulated & taxed place to buy it. We continue to work on transition even if politics is difficult.

Trump is now reportedly responsible for roughly 27.7% of the entire U.S. national debt accumulated under all presidents combined. That is an astonishing figure historically. The national debt just crossed $39 trillion. President Trump has added roughly $12–13 trillion to the debt across his two terms in office. That’s approximately 30% of ALL U.S. national debt accumulated since 1789. In 2016, Trump said he would pay down the national debt “over a period of eight years.” Instead: - First term: $7.8 trillion - Second term: roughly $4–5 trillion already And yes, COVID affected first-term spending. It does not explain adding another trillion dollars every five months without a pandemic. A political movement built on: “fiscal conservatism” “small government” “balanced budgets” has now overseen the largest debt expansion tied to any single presidency in American history.

On this Memorial Day we come together as Americans in reverence, acknowledging the profound sacrifices made by our nation's heroes that came before us - cherish our freedom earned through their courageous efforts. My family will remember our grandfather, who was killed in WWII.

This veto and its consequences belong to the Governor and the Governor alone. Delegate @KrizekForVA and I release the following statement as our historic legislation HB642/SB542 establishing a regulated adult-use cannabis retail market in Virginia was vetoed:

This is a historic day for Virginians. I grew up here and raised my daughters here, and in all my years of leading Brady, I have never been more hopeful than I am today.

Unfortunately, our Commonwealth has been the victim of far too many mass shootings. Today, we took the first step to ban these weapons of war and stop this violence once and for all. History made in Virginia today. wset.com/news/local/virginia…

Proud to participate in the Broadband Advisory Council’s telehealth conference! Broadband access is essential to connecting Virginians to much needed healthcare, and removing barriers like transportation and lack of medical professionals physically present in an area. Connecting every Virginian to broadband remains a top priority for me and many other lawmakers.
