I am honored to serve as the 75th Governor of Virginia.
It is with a profound sense of duty to all Virginians that I assume the Governorship and pledge myself to work tirelessly on behalf of our Commonwealth — our home.

The CFP semifinals will feature 4 former Nick Saban assistants: Cignetti against Lanning and Cristobal against Smart or Golding.
Who knew that the most Saban-like Saban protege might turn out to be scowling Curt Cignetti.

Kalen DeBoer is now 3-1 vs Top 10 teams at Alabama. Over the past four years, DeBoer is 7-2 vs Top 10 teams and his teams came back from behind in five of those games
ROLL TIDE
27 unanswered at one point. Such a resilient team. Plenty of mistakes, but finds ways to win over and over. Respect the hell outta Coach DeBoer and the way he keeps this team focused and together.
Onto Indiana… 🌹

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the governor of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate and former president of the United States and now current president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken. Nothing I can say can bring back Charlie Kirk."

I've always been curious about a part of Rory McIlroy's career that barely exists: his commitment to East Tennessee St.
What I found was not just a signed letter of intent, but also a unique link between Johnson City, TN and golf on the island of Ireland: espn.com/golf/story/_/id/450…
I got to talk to @LGAustinDavis at @thestatesforum last week about why state-level power is more important than ever — and the ideas he’s prioritized in Pennsylvania that can be modeled elsewhere around the country.
He’s a bright rising star we should all be paying attention to.
It can be hard to find big ideas that may offer a path forward. Even when you see a good take, it can get lost in the shuffle. @thestatesforum has a valuable new resource: its own central clearinghouse of ideas to spark debate about fixing America
