'Tis the season.
"Winter air" isn't a joke like turn signal fluid. Cold weather can cause the air pressure in your tires to drop.
Not only does this cause your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor to come on, it can impact the performance and control of your vehicle.

It's Halloween week! 🎃
Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash.
Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

As FBI’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month comes to a close, #FBIRichmond is highlighting an important online safety threat that parents and caregivers need to know about: sextortion.
In this message, our very own Ian Kaufmann, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Richmond Field Office, shares information about how an online friendship can turn into threats and demands. Sextortion occurs when someone threatens to share intimate images unless a victim sends money, additional images, or meets other demands.
Talk with your children about their interactions on social media and gaming platforms. Remind them that if something happens, they can come to you for help without fear of blame.
If you suspect sextortion, report it. Contact local law enforcement, call 1-800-CALL-FBI, or visit tips.fbi.gov.

Today, I’m issuing an executive directive to strengthen the Commonwealth’s cybersecurity and address the threats posed by the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
This moment demands leadership, coordination, and a thoughtful path forward to address these serious threats — particularly as we have seen no leadership from this President and his allies in Congress.
This is just the beginning — I’ll continue to leverage my authority as the Governor of Virginia to address potential threats, strengthen our Commonwealth’s security, and prioritize the safety of Virginians.
