Williams High School state championship football team, was critically injured in an early morning car crash on North Beauregard Street. The All-American linebacker suffered a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed below the waist. He later became an effective advocate for people with disabilities and was competitive in sports for people in wheelchairs.” [Historic Alexandria]
Beyer Condemns Trump’s AI Order — “President Trump’s AI order is an attempt to kill responsible safety reforms passed by states, which would create a lawless Wild West environment for AI companies that puts Americans at risk. This is a terrible idea. Congress has been slow to respond to the AI revolution and in the absence of a strong federal response, states are wisely taking the lead to create guardrails and protect the public.” [Rep. Don Beyer]
