Signs don’t vote, I know. But there sure are a lot of these in my liberal NoVa neighborhood. If Youngkin gets the W, it will be in large part because of education policy. It’s obvious (to me) that McAuliffe really thinks govt knows best. It doesn’t. #VAGov

Good stuff from @JonahDispatch as always. I’d add that it would be a real slap in the face to taxpayers like me. Been paying my undergrad loans for 10+ years, even when it was wildly difficult for me to do so. I signed up for it. It’s my job to handle it.

@abegailcave @LaurenZelt She should be free to roam in nature and exercise her own agency, like all the other free canines. Do you want to live with your parents in your childhood bedroom forever and never leave the house/neighborhood, even if you are safe and well fed?

Today is my birthday. One of the biggest things I’ve learned in the last year? It takes mindfulness to look not at what you don’t have, but to focus on what you do. And when you do, it’s pretty great. Thankful for a good day & start to another year. 🙏🏼

Some weeks, you push the boulder up and over the hill. Some weeks, you just push the boulder up. And some weeks, some weeks you just push. But the important thing is that it doesn’t flatten you. If you’re pushing, you’re not flat. You’re still going. And that’s what matters.
