#MissKittyPolitics #Governors can call in their own national guard. #New #York. #Washington state. Call in your guards. Pay them. Make sure that they can stay there and their families keep their homes. Keep them until this is done. @governorferguson.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @governor.ny.gov@bsky.brid.gy
If the U.S. has a prayer, it will come in 2029 when a new president takes office, committed to repairing the damage done at home and abroad by Trump. How hard will this task be? To get a sense, let’s keep tabs on the new governor of VA, who follows a demagogue who wreaked havoc on her state’s schools and colleges. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/01/16/youngkin-education-legacy-virginia/ #governors
Youngkin ran on culture war issues. Here’s how he changed Virginia schools.

As Glenn Youngkin leaves office, his education legacy remains a topic of debate, with some hailing efforts to improve school performance and others lamenting the politicization of policy.

#Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the rarely used federal #law to deploy the #US #military or federalize the #NationalGuard for domestic law enforcement, over the objections of #state #governors.

How can you succeed as governor in your first term… and set the stage for reelection? 1. Promise things important to voters that you can actually deliver. 2. Deliver them. 3. Tell voters what you did. 4. Offer new things you could deliver in the years ahead. Gov Healey of MA teaches us how this works. https://www.governing.com/politics/mass-gov-maura-healey-builds-reputation-for-pragmatism #governors
Mass. Gov. Maura Healey Builds Reputation for Pragmatism

Maura Healey broke new ground as the first woman and first openly gay candidate elected governor in Massachusetts, but her priorities have been firmly focused on quality-of-life and cost-of-living issues like housing and transportation.

"After a year in which #Israel, #antisemitism and #political #polarization scrambled long-standing alliances, the #American #Jewish political map is heading into 2026 unusually unsettled.

From #NewYork #CityHall to #swingstate #governors’ mansions to some of the most crowded #Democratic #primaries in memory, the coming #election cycle will test how much Jewish #voters still cohere as a political bloc — and whether the issues that have dominated Jewish life since #Oct7 will continue to shape the ballot box. The rise of outspoken pro-#Palestinian #candidates, fractures inside both parties over Israel, and the growing visibility of #antisemitism on the left and the right have turned races that might once have seemed parochial into national bellwethers."
