Observing the budget debates in Richmond, it’s clear that education often comes last despite being the foundation of everything else. A strong Virginia and United States demands strong schools first, rhetoric second. Good night everyone.

Funding formulas always sound boring until you realize they decide which schools survive and which don’t. Rural schools can’t keep up, urban schools are stretched to the breaking point, and students pay the price.

The fight over school funding formulas feels endless, but it really comes down to this: rural and urban districts aren’t broken — they’re starved. If we want a competitive workforce, maybe we should start by paying the folks who teach it.

Virginia voters made it clear: they’re fed up with federal cuts hitting their families, especially in communities with federal workers. The election was more than a local race — it was a response to real economic pain. #FederalCuts #VAProgressive #PeopleOverPolitics
Kudos to VA lawmakers for passing bipartisan probation reform — reducing probation for people who hit milestones like steady work or housing stability builds stronger, safer communities. But Youngkin still pushes hard. #CriminalJusticeReform #Reentry #VAProgressive
