‘Living fossils’: Sturgeon are back, but the fight for their conservation isn’t over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’re lucky enough to watch sturgeon breach — flinging their 200-pound bodies some 10 feet in the air before careening into the water — you might get the impression they’re invincible. “Imagine a linebacker doing a belly flop off a diving board,” said Gabe Thornton, paddle program coordinator with the James River Association, on a sturgeon watching boat tour last weekend. “That’s going to be a very similar splash to what you’ll see.” Atlantic sturgeon can weigh up to 800 pounds and grow to a

Read excerpt
Sam Harris, a 56-year-old from Suffolk, will vote for the first time this November.

Last week, Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman posted a photo of himself at a foodbank in the Richmond suburbs. Democratic challenger Shannon Taylor responded that Wittman had voted to “cut food
More Virginia lawmakers call for special session to weigh Dominion merger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More Virginia lawmakers are calling for an extension of the proposed NextEra and Dominion Energy merger review timeline. In a letter sent Monday, 14 Democratic delegates and senators urged Gov.
