Youngkin vetoes bill setting up sale of recreational marijuana in Virginia
Quick Glance: Youngkin signs 2 gun control measures in Virginia
  • Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed an assault weapons ban passed by the state Legislature and instead signed two more limited gun regulations into law.

  • Youngkin signed laws banning gun trigger switches that can make firearms fire automatically and allowing criminal charges against parents who allow children access to weapons deemed threats.

  • While praised by gun control activists, they urge him to do more, emphasizing that the work does not stop here.

  • The signing of the two gun control bills by Youngkin is seen as a step in the right direction, showing that America's gun violence crisis does not have to be accepted as inevitable.

Quick Glance: Leo Varadkar: A Populist Who Struggled with Real People
  • In May 2002, a young party activist analyzed the defeat of Fine Gael under Michael Noonan, emphasizing that none of the former leaders were the expected messiah for the party.

  • Leo Varadkar's political legacy comprises valuable contributions, but he was never seen as a savior of the party. His ability to navigate contradictions made him a skilled politician, but he ultimately realized he couldn't balance on the political tightrope indefinitely.

  • Varadkar was described as a politician who straddled conservatism and an increasingly progressive society. Despite his rapid rise in politics and popularity during crises, he struggled to address long-term challenges in areas like healthcare and housing.

  • His popularity peaked during the Brexit crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was seen as a unifying and authoritative leader. However, he failed to effectively tackle long-term structural issues in Ireland, especially in healthcare and housing, as his neoliberal views did not offer compelling solutions.
