This month, Virginians need to speak clearly, loudly and in a common voice that the Youngkin administration’s plan to withdraw the commonwealth from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative would be a disastrous, and potentially deadly, mistake.

OUR VIEW: Democracy shines while Trump and transparency tumble
Those who have never worked or spent significant time with athletes who strive for the highest levels of competition can’t understand how devastating the death of three University of Virginia football players is to their teammates.
As the University of Virginia and Charlottesville community mourn the loss of three student-athletes who were gunned down Sunday night after a charter bus trip to Washington, D.C., another round of the relentlessly unproductive debate over gun control is upon us. Why didn’t the university more aggressively investigate a report that the suspect, UVa student Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., had a firearm on campus earlier this fall? How is it that UVa leaves it up to students to self-report weapons charges that occur off campus, as university police Chief Timothy Longo Sr. told reporters on Monday?

It has been weeks since we asked 7th Congressional District candidate Yesli Vega if she supports a federal life-at-conception bill offered by U.S. Rep. Bob Good, a fellow Virginia Republican. Vega has not responded. We do not expect her to.
Spanberger, by accepting the PWC100 debate, demonstrates a willingness to enter an environment that may be considered by some in her camp as less favorable to her side. Vega should be willing to do the same.
Mike Pence and Elizabeth Chew reflect democracy at its best. Two individuals who respect the work and roles of the other, even if they represent movements that disagree with one another. We would hope that the two could develop a deep conversation about James Madison at Montpelier, and help stem the distrust of democracy.
In today’s hyper-polarized political climate, Anne Frank’s words resonate with more power and fragility than ever.
GOP office holders, candidates and party propagandists continue to sow doubt about American elections, using baseless claims about the 2020 presidential vote to advance a false narrative about its trustworthiness.
“There is a point where [the Freedom of Information Act] becomes weaponized, and it gets in the way of getting done what needs to be done,” said the president of the Voter Registrars Association of Virginia. “There’s a point at which it overwhelms a small office, to receive multiple FOIA requests in a day.”
