LIFE apparently doesn’t mean LIFE anymore in Virginia. In just the past 60 days, the Virginia Parole Board granted parole to 21 convicted felons. Six of those 21 were serving LIFE sentences. • Holland — rape, forcible sodomy, robbery and kidnapping. FIVE LIFE SENTENCES. • Shell — two first-degree murders. LIFE. • Brown — rape. LIFE. • Fields — first-degree murder. LIFE. • Herring — object sexual penetration. LIFE. Paroled after about 22 years. • Johnson — first-degree murder. LIFE. Paroled after about 33½ years. A judge can sentence someone to LIFE for murder, rape or other horrific crimes — but the Virginia Parole Board can still decide that “life” has lasted long enough and let them out with decades left to live. In Virginia, LIFE apparently means NOT LIFE. These are the Virginia Parole Board’s own records. August: vpb.virginia.gov/media/pdol5… September: vpb.virginia.gov/media/kvrkw…

🚨New: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s hand-picked parole board released eight out of ten felons during Thursday’s parole meeting. These are people who were convicted of murder, rape, robbery and child abuse. Many of them had decades left on their life sentences. WJLA analyzed all of Spanberger’s parole board’s decisions since their first meeting. I found that out of the 205 discretionary and geriatric parole cases the board considered, Spanberger’s board granted 48 felons parole. That’s almost ONE in FOUR felons who requested early release being granted parole. It's a significant jump compared to former Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s parole board.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, director of a NEW documentary about Elon Musk, tells @chucktodd why he believes @elonmusk succeeded where @ElizabethHolmes failed. @alexgibneyfilm: “She didn't have a machine that worked. Tesla is a good car, and he invested in a company that was invented by Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard, you know, with a genius idea about lithium-ion batteries and also this idea that you would start at the top of the market with a really fast, fun car to drive. And then, as people begin to buy them, you slowly drive the price down.” Watch the full conversation on the Noosphere app noosphere.app/musk-filmmaker…

Let’s take a walk down memory lane. Most #Jets predicted between 5-7 wins this offseason. Meaning you didn’t think they were a very good roster to begin with. Those predictions are done based upon a fully healthy team. We are missing 1/3 of our opening day starters! Surprise surprise the product that you didn’t have much faith in at its best, has regressed over the last 4 weeks. #logicmatters
