Virginia Arms Legal Squad Against Federal Overreach | Charleston News

Virginia’s Attorney General Jay Jones has launched a new legal unit, the Federal Accountability Unit, to proactively challenge federal policies that threaten the state’s economy and residents. Made up of four lawyers, this team will monitor and litigate against federal overreach — from tariffs raising costs to funding cuts or workforce reductions — ensuring Virginia’s interests are defended. It’s the first of its kind in the AG’s office, signaling a bold, targeted stance against what Jones calls harmful federal actions, especially those tied to agencies like DOGE. This move underscores Virginia’s readiness to fight back legally when Washington’s decisions hurt Virginians. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
