Exclusive: Governor Youngkin on Arlington school system saying it will require masks, despite Youngkin’s order stating that schools can’t do that. He threatened to use state resources to force schools to comply - but we still don’t know what that means exactly. @WTOP

1. Another want a be dictator . ...

parallel to the asshole governor in FL and TX.

[spooky3]

2. He is already overreaching. Virginia is purple, not red, and

He benefited from an unusually high red turnout following a bad period for Democrats generally (Afghanistan, the infrastructure bill hadn’t yet passed, Delta surge blamed unfairly on Dems, etc.). He will get push back during his entire term.

3. He's not governing Virginia,

he's running for president.

[spooky3]

4. And he will go down in flames for that, too. Nt

[Mr.Bill]

5. Absolutely. n/t

6. Could we whisper that in tfg ear?? He won't like it!

[Mr.Bill]

8. He knows it,

and he didn't like Youngkin not wanting to be seen with him during the campaign. Frankly, I think some republicans had to have noticed that Youngkin got elected by avoiding him, not kissing his ass.

7. cuz local control and all.

9. Wow, one week in and he's already proving to be a colossal piece of shit!

Fuck you, MAGAs and Fox News!

10. Day 2

11. It's going to be a long 4 years.

12. I'm fine if he wants to mandate in person

school but to mandate no masks? Shouldn’t the schools be able to do anything to protect themselves from Covid?
