Murky information and blurred lines cloud early release reoffender data, color attorney general race • Virginia Mercury Though questions have lingered among journalists and lawmakers alike, the highly politicized early release program still stands as campaign fodder...

State lawmakers have requested an investigation into whether Attorney General Jason Miyares, who is running for reelection, received protected data about a program that allows Virginia inmates to trim their prison time, which was used in campaign ads. virginiamercury.com/2025/10/31/m...

Point of order, all chaps are assless

Please send all of your gigantic teens to Clifford and Montrose, where there will be full-size candy bars available

Here’s How the AI Crash Happens The U.S. is becoming an Nvidia-state.

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

This race is about who will deliver for Virginians.

I have plans to defend against federal overreach, protect our rights, and keep our communities safe.

Meanwhile, Jason Miyares’ only plan is to continue supporting President Trump’s agenda in Virginia.

@scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social points out that early voting is defined in the code as voting 45 days "prior to the election." Meaning that "the election" is not defined as the broad time period over which people vote, but rather the Tuesday in November that is Election Day--words matter.

OPINION: Jason Miyares is a threat to Virginia's reproductive freedom At stake is the proposed Constitutional Amendment for Reproductive Freedom, which would protect Virginians’ right to access abortion, contraception, miscarriage, and fertility care, and guarantee the ...

Jason Miyares “has made clear that he would use every lever of power to delay, distort, or derail the reproductive freedom amendment, even without clear legal authority to do so.”

As AG, I’ll do everything I can to protect a woman’s right to choose.

Service journalism at its finest. Thanks!

Could you share the links to the docs for us Twitter-less?

Headline from CNBC reads "States sue Trump administration to keep SNAP benefits during government shutdown"

Do you know who is NOT joining the lawsuit to sue Trump to protect SNAP benefits? Jason Miyares, that's who. Do you know who is NOT trying to protect low-income Virginians from being unable to feed their families? Jason Miyares.

THIS is why we need to elect @jonesjay in a week.

Mocking/scare quotes on “Washington Post” entirely appropriate here

Oh no not the VaTech pizza place that was proud of its Dave Portnoy endorsement!

Completely nonsensical movement when compared to their September poll. Spanberger margin improves by 5 pts, while approval for Youngkin improves by 6? Demographic subgroups completely different too, and changed methodology from pure 2021 weighting to 2017/21 mix.

Waffladelle!

Can’t help but hear this in @surber.bsky.social’s Jelly Roll

But will it wa—[beaten to death by homemade noodles]

My statement on Governor Youngkin declaring a State of Emergency over Donald Trump's SNAP cuts.

I am terrified that this is the EXACT formulation of protection racket dialogue I came up with as well...

This is making me contemplate the idea of a Portland Mafia, which I envision as like guys in organic denim threatening to spokes your penny-farthing if you don't pay up

Jason Miyares refused to join other AGs challenging Trump’s illegal tariffs. Now, the average Virginia family will pay $2,400 more per year in higher costs.

Unlike my opponent, I’ll stand up to policies that raise costs.

2017 and 2021 exits** my kingdom for an edit button

Primary methodological difference seems to be that SN weighted to a blend of 2021 AND 2021 exits. Even nonpartisan like VCU are weighting almost exclusively to 2021—and November 2025 is very much not November 2021

Virginians deserve an Attorney General who will put people over special interest donors.

That’s why I made a consumer protection plan to take on predatory lenders, hold scammers accountable, and put money back in Virginians’ pockets.

The best thing that’s happened for Virginia the last four years is that Jason Miyares’ malevolence has been kept in check by his incompetence (see, e.g., failed prosecution of PWC registrar on fabricated evidence, etc)

But will it waffle?

giving the "no, you go ahead" wave when you have the right of way is just as wrong as not respecting someone else having the right of way

Please win out. Good team, great fans
