next legislative term.
8) Youngkin issues this 3-page rant to Spanberger to appease conservatives. In the process, he implied that colleges and universities are merely “agencies” of the governorship. That’s overreach.
Virginia’s colleges and universities do not belong to Glenn Youngkin. Nor do

in pushing out the popular and effective UVA president, Jim Ryan.
7) November 4 The people of Virginia clearly vote against government overreach and the GOP extremist agenda in the election. Some democrats in the General Assembly mention wanting to reform the process of BOV appointments in the

placed an injunction on Youngkin’s appointees because he wanted to dodge having General Assembly confirm them as required by the law.
6) Also in July, the UVA faculty senate voted No Confidence in the Board of Visitors and requested an independent investigation into the role played by the BOV

June 2025, the Democratic members of the VA Senate Privileges & Elections Committee filed a lawsuit against Gov. Youngkin to defend the General Assembly’s constitutional prerogatives to regulate gubernatorial appointments to university boards. In July, a VA. Circuit Court ruled for the Senate, and

finally stand up to Gov. Youngkin’s highly partisan and extremist appointees to 3 university boards and refuse to confirm a total of 8 appointees. Youngkin told all 3 university rectors to ignore the senate’s votes not to seat them and to do so anyway. That’s overreach.
5) In response, in

should be invalid. Alarmingly, Youngkin announces, “The vetoes will stand and that’s how we will run the executive branch going forward.” In other words, he announced his full intention to ignore the Virginia State Constitution, to which he swore an oath. Sound familiar?
4) May/June Democrats

3) May 2025 The House Clerk of Virginia’s General Assembly rules that 3 of Youngkin’s line item vetoes were improperly done and

Democrats signed off on his appointees until Youngkin simply went too far - or, overreached.
2) In March 2025, Gov. Glenn Youngkin released a statement praising UVA’s BOV for voting to dissolve DEI support and programs under the Trump regime’s threats and bribery. He and his bulldog, AG Miyares,

faux GOP moderate and good old boy (he washed dishes!) then deliberately stocked UVA’s Board of Visitors with former GOP lawmakers, GOP donors, and members of the infamous Jefferson Council, an outsider conservative alumni group. He could have chosen non-partisan, education-forward appointees.

She requests this so that a full Board of Visitors can be appointed and confirmed by the General Assembly, rather than the search and hire be completed by a small number of people.
Speaking of overreach, let’s look at how Gov. Youngkin has done in that regard:
1) Glenn Youngkin ran as a

Well, this is rich. Glenn Youngkin shows he wears the GOP Coat of Hypocrisy in rant directed at Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s request to UVA Board to wait until she is seated to hire new president.

So Wolff could have tanked Trump’s 2016 campaign and didn’t because Epstein said nah?

Seems possible that this is about even more than underage women.

Perhaps money changing hands— corruptly and internationally, and intertwined with underaged women?

Helpful to keep in mind that lying sack of shit Karoline Leavitt ran for Congress in 2022, and lost.

After a lawsuit against her campaign, she was forced to admit that she hid about $326,000 in undisclosed debt. Roughly 200k came from illegal contributions.

She's dirty AF, just like her boss.
