(The Center Square) – Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares wants Google not to censor crisis pregnancy centers in search results in a pushback against Democratic lawmakers who have condemned them in recent weeks.
The Tuesday night game between the FredNats and Salem Red Sox was suspended in the bottom of the 5th inning due to inclement weather.
The two teams will finish the game in its entirety tomorrow, with the first pitch scheduled today at 5:05 p.m. and then will play a seven-inning game 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one. Salem leads 5-0 in the 5th inning.
Virginia is home to two history-making leaders who are not waiting for change; they are driving it. US Representative Jennifer McClellan, the first Black woman to represent Virginia in Congress, brings nearly two decades of results to the table: more than 370 pieces of legislation passed, voting rights expanded, reproductive healthcare protected, and clean energy advanced. She does not govern on noise. She governs on outcomes!
Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi, the first Muslim woman elected to statewide office in the United States, built her leadership in Virginia’s classrooms before taking it to the statehouse. Steady, focused, and purpose-driven, she does not just represent change; she expands what leadership looks like.
