Gov Spanberger has directed Virginia’s state law enforcement agencies to end 287g agreements with ICE, saying the agreements "improperly cede accountability and discretion over VA law enforcement" to the feds.

Great breakdown on this weekend’s snowstorm… and where predictions for TWO FEET are coming from.

I’m grateful to be one of this year’s Daily Progress Distinguished Dozen. It was an incredible honor and privilege to be the sports editor of my hometown newspaper for 15 years.
