At a grass roots town hall in western Henrico County this morning.
People continue to file in.
Real Americans are here sending a message to their tone deaf congressman — Rob Wittman (VA-01) — who has cut and run from the people he claims to represent.

Snow remains on track for Wednesday. Beware of wildly varying amounts (on weather apps), as raw data has become less consistent overnight.
Nudging now to a 4-8" idea, but full writeup later today.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
