Private equity in healthcare is insidious & deleterious. It's pervaded a wide range of in- and out-patient medical services. They promise M.D.s that they'll take care of office management and let the doctor take care of healing. Pretty soon they're dictating procedures & dropping patients.

Republicans will be blamed for gov't shutdown & why not? They are the small gov't party that gleefully endorsed the trump-musk DOGE-ing of federal gov't that continues to directly affect state & local gov'ts and the people they serve. @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

The Big Bill causing three rural clinics in Virginia to close is just the tip of the iceberg – and it’s happening because @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social is too scared to fight against Trump’s Medicaid cuts that will throw nearly 300,000 Virginians off their healthcare. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/p...

I guess title transfers will be a problem.

Justifying or making light of violence damages the core fabric of our society and imperils all of us as Americans, just as calls to violence and revenge do the same. I hope that all elected officials and community leaders will join me in denouncing both.

Disagreements over policy, perspectives, or even worldviews should never lead to violence. We are a nation of laws — and we have a First Amendment right to free speech, and that right is not limited just to those who agree with us.

As the investigation continues and law enforcement continues to build their case, I think it’s important to state unequivocally: I condemn any efforts to justify or minimize the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk or anyone else.

@senatorhashmi.bsky.social has seen with her own eyes the trump-induced effects on rural healthcare. Clinic & hospital closures will hurt our fellow Virginians. Ghazala Hashmi is the clear choice for Lt Governor. @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social wset.com/news/local/s...

I’ve just laid out my plan to protect consumers and lower costs – because it’s time Virginia has an Attorney General who is on the side of working people. Thank you to everyone who joined me this morning in Charlottesville!

My statement marking the 24th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

I am horrified by the assassination of Charlie Kirk today. Adam and I are praying for his family and the entire Utah Valley University community who witnessed this horrific act. Political violence has absolutely no place in this country. This violent criminal must be found and brought to justice.

Donald Trump’s pro bono attorney @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social sides with special interests and extremists. I’ll side with Virginians – holding price-gougers, shady landlords, and utility monopolies accountable.

What a beautiful evening knocking doors in Fairfax. Tomorrow, September 9th, is Election Day, and it’s more important than ever that every voter makes their voice heard. Polls are open 6am to 7pm at your normal location. Let’s finish strong! jameswalkinshaw.org/vote/

Grateful to have the support of House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar as we cross the finish line. This Tuesday, Sept 9, polls are open 6am–7pm. Get out and vote!

How many of Florida's children will suffer serious illness with life-long effects and potentially worse consequences? Parents throughout the country should re-think their Florida vacations. How does Disney feel about this? Did anyone give any thought about the impact on the tourism industry?

Washington has already gutted healthcare for hundreds of thousands of Virginians. Now, 200,000 more could see costs skyrocket. We need leaders who will fight to protect our pocketbooks and make healthcare more affordable. cardinalnews.org/2025/09/02/i...

Between April and June, Virginia lost more than 43,000 jobs — and we know who to blame.

Can extremist anti-vax medical personnel discontinue Vitamin K shots to newborn infants? Will the vaccinations given to children during the first few years of their lives become optional - tetanus, mumps, pertussis, measles, polio? Florida's health policies are going to affect its tourist economy.
