They say a dog is a man’s best friend. This cute pup is waiting for his owners to return home. They were taken to the hospital after their home was destroyed by a tornado in Caldwell Parish this evening.

Boston sports Twitter is one of the most irrational places on Earth.
After Game Two: Celtics are going to win the NBA Championship. Get the Duck Boats ready.
After Game Three: So many turnovers. I don't know how the Celtics even made the playoffs.
It's one game people. RELAX
One of my favorite videos involving Nancy Pelosi comes from President Bush’s State of the Union in 2007. Proof our politics don’t have to be so divisive.
The line for the

rally in Richmond is long. One man from Henrico told me he “doesn’t understand”

position on Ukraine, and Haley is “more electable” than Trump.

Juwan Howard did something wrong and was disciplined. This clip is a reminder that we shouldn’t judge people solely on their worst moments.
Russia held the Olympics in 2014 and the World Cup in 2018.
China held the Olympics in 2008 and 2022.
Maybe the world's most significant sporting events should not be held in countries that continually step all over the rights most nations hold sacred.
I spent a lot of Friday nights watching

on 20/20. An honor to meet David tonight. A true inspiration to journalists everywhere.
As is typically the case in Virginia, a budget battle seems imminent. The question is how much leverage does
@GovernorVA
have considering he controls neither chamber in the General Assembly? Democrats probably won't concede much.
I know this doesn't seem like much, but it really is significant. Rublev risks being exiled from Russia, his family being persecuted, and perhaps hurting his career by being kicked off the Russian Olympic Team. Courageous and gutsy from

@LouisianaGov
points out that the reason he has gone to a mandate as opposed to a recommendation is that too many Louisianans did not adhere to his mask recommendation.
This year we have some important Democratic primaries coming up for Congress in Virginia. I wanted to share with you which candidates I have worked with that I know would be excellent members of Congress- they all have my endorsement! (Thread below).
"I do want to announce that the President has accepted my invitation and will be coming to Louisiana on Friday," says

"For those people who have decide that they are more concerned than receiving the vaccine than actually contracting the disease, at this point 2.1 million Louisianans have received one shot, there have been exactly 8 severe adverse reactions to the vaccine," says

Breaking: Major League Baseball has announced that after this weekend's performances, Yankees pitchers will NOT be checked for foreign substances. MLB says it's clear that Yankees pitchers are not cheating.
I was working when Doc called. He asked
@jwiggs85
about his high school football days in East Boston. He asked
@DanielleMurr
about her charity and more. Doc prepared for his ten minute interview on a local radio station the same way he prepared for a game. Incredibly classy
And I'd add to that- Doc recently appeared on
@TheGregHillShow
and you could tell he had done real prep work on the show and the hosts. He asked questions about them and clearly wanted to have a real conversation and not just answer a few questions, get in, get out and move on.
Unfortunately, I’m working on Thanksgiving. While I will miss my family more than you can imagine, those of us stuck in the newsroom
@KNOE8
have decided to have our own Thanksgiving Dinner. One of my contributions is sweet potato casserole with a maple pecan topping.
Today officially marks one year
@8NEWS
and three years in the TV industry. Grateful for so much including the amazing friends (some not pictured here) I have met here in RVA and
@KNOE8
.
Took a full year, but RVA if officially on the wall next to all my other life stops. That means Central Virginia is stuck with me now for at least a little while.
Tomorrow I begin my career as a TV Reporter
@KNOE8
. To celebrate, I thought I would bless you all with the oldest video I could find of myself on-camera. This is from
@playbyplaycamps
in 2012. Enjoy
Now is a good time to announce that I have accepted a job as a Multimedia Journalist

As a reporter, I try not to chime in on political issues, but I will say this. My guess is John Lewis and Johnny Isakson disagreed on almost every issue. That didn’t stop them from becoming friends. Our national political discourse needs to be more civil.
John Lewis died one year ago today.
11/19/19: Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) on House floor: “I will come over to meet you, brother." They hug.

Just spoke with
@SpanbergerVA07
about her run for governor.
Considering she is consistently ranked one of the most bipartisan lawmakers in Washington, I asked her what she would say to Democratic voters who argue she isn't progressive enough?

Virginia State University reacts to President Biden pulling out of the debate at VSU scheduled for 10/1.
They say they are "disappointed" and that the debate would be "a huge win, not only for our students and campus community but for the greater community in general."

Just a casual reminder to people. When there’s a tornado warning in our viewing area, we have an obligation to be on the air to warn people.
Your shows can wait.
Bill Belichick is the greatest coach ever, but for all the credit he gets he gets part of the blame tonight. Benching Malcolm Butler was the wrong decision and it showed. Defense for shredded.

Breaking:
@RepJuliaLetlow
has been re-elected to the U.S House of Representatives. She is the first woman from Louisiana since 1988 to win re-election to the House.
Today, I received the greatest compliment a reporter could ask for. An elected official said, "I always have to be on my A-game when I interview with you." To future journalists, be prepared. You don't want your time wasted. Don't waste someone else's time by being unprepared.
Coolest story I have had the chance to do so far

Everything we do

The question will be, is Governor Youngkin's "Secure Your Vote" campaign turning out NEW voters or are people who were already going to vote on Election Day, now just voting early.
That is a question we won't really have an answer to until after the election.
Reasons for neither side to become too confident
For Dems: Youngkin’s early voting message will help get out GOP base and blunt early vote lead
For GOP: Mail ballots will still give Dems lead going into Election Day and GOP likely won’t see 2021 numbers w women and independents
According to
@VCU
, it was Richmond Police that declared last night's protest an "unlawful assembly." I have contacted RPD to see what went into making that decision. For reference, here is the unlawful assembly code section.
The Virginia General Assembly is back in session which means I am back waiting outside committee hearings to stalk lawmakers and force them to speak to me.
Today was
@LucyDollWx
last day
@KNOE8
. While I’ll miss her more than she knows, I couldn’t be happier for her as she goes on this new journey. Lucy is one of the most authentic, caring people I know. Love you Lucy. ❤️❤️❤️
“That guilt that I experienced is just, I can’t find words for it."
Savannah Morris has Crohn's Disease. Her parents missed rent payments due to the cost of her medication. That's why she's urging
@GovernorVA
to sign bills creating a Prescription Drug Affordability Board.
I’m out shooting a story and a woman who I have never met comes up to me and says, “I’ll see you at ten tonight” referring to watching our newscasts. It was too sweet not to share.
Congrats to

Since Monday another 3,939 children have tested positive for COVID in Louisiana according to
@LouisianaGov
. If you include Monday, more than 6,000 kids have tested positive COVID for this week.
I wonder what people across the globe are thinking about what's happening in the U.S. House of Representatives right now. Do they believe this is Democracy in Action? A robust discussion? A circus?
Pretty cool moment this morning
