Spanberger urges Trump to reconsider proposal ending Roadless Rule

Gov. Abigail Spanberger sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Friday urging the Trump Administration to abandon its proposal to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule — known as the Roadless Rule. 

In the letter, Spanberger said rescinding the Roadless Rule, which designates certain areas in national forests as roadless areas, would jeopardize nearly 400,000 acres of National Forests in Virginia.

VPM News asks: Have you been on the Child Care Subsidy Program waitlist?

Our team is reporting on Virginia's push to clear the waitlist for the Child Care Subsidy Program, and we are looking for families who have interacted with the waitlist recently (anytime in 2026, but particularly in the last few months).

If any of the following describes you or your family, reporter Megan Pauly is interested in hearing from you:

  • You got off the waitlist and have begun receiving subsidized childcare
  • You are still on the waitlist
  • You were removed from the waitlist for any reason
  • You've had ... some other interaction with the CCSP waitlist that we have not described? (If this is you, we DEFINITELY want to hear from you!)

If you are willing to speak to Megan, you can email her directly at mpauly@vpm.org or drop us a response via DM — we'll make sure it gets to her. Thank you!
