Happy New Year, Virginia! Our minimum wage just went up to $12.77/hour. Our incoming Democratic trifecta this year is set to pass HB 1 / SB 1 to finally win the #fightfor15 by increasing the minimum wage to $13.75 Jan. 1, 2027 and $15 Jan. 1, 2028, and then increasing that annually for inflation.

Wisconsin Dems are pushing for legislation that would increase funding for special education in their state! Next year, we’re working to flip the legislature blue so legislation like this can lead the agenda every day!

So far this year, state Dems have flipped 24 GOP-held state legislative seats in blue, red, and purple states across the country! Voters are making it clear that they support state Dems who are actually working for them, and reject the GOP’s reckless agenda.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair. Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority. We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

At least 600,000 children have died from the cuts in US AID funding. Atul Gawande ventured to Kenya and published his expose in the New Yorker. He has been screaming about what was coming since March and has continued to report on this issue month after month. www.newyorker.com/video/watch/...

Bravo. Such a huge night for Democrats across the country. In Virginia, there was a blue Trifecta. Spangerger took the governorship and the voters kept the House of Delegates Blue. These are the 15 Sister District candidates in Virginia that delivered wins. Enjoy the win! You worked hard for it.

ICE and other federal agents conducted a violent, middle-of-the-night raid on an apartment building in Chicago — just days after Trump said the military should go after “the enemy within.” He and his cronies are building a police state piece by piece. https://youtu.be/5zrye_p-EPI?si=VinP3uxFa9_JiN8X

HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:

Today marks one month to go until the start of in-person early voting for the 2025 #Virginia general election: Friday, Sept. 19. Today also marks 11 weeks to go until Election Day itself: Tuesday, Nov. 4. (Fairfax: early voting is underway for #VA11. Send @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social to Congress!)

Roem “said that’s all the more reason to consider… universal free school meals, which she’d like to pay for by ending the state tax incentive for data centers. “‘The kids get fed, the parents save up to $1K per kid per school year, and you cut the administrative burden…’” wamu.org/story/25/08/...

It’s been a tough year to be in #politics, but watching our #volunteer network jump in from across the country gives me real hope. If you have been looking for a way to help, I can’t think of a better place to put your time and money -> secure.actblue.com/donate/sdp-i...

Earlier this year, #Democrats won by double digits in an Iowa district that #Trump carried. It was a clear sign: even in traditionally red areas, there’s real potential…if we show up. That’s why, for the first time, Sister District is endorsing in #Iowa!

Proud to support Kimberly Pope Adams!

A Few Thoughts on This Morning’s RTD Article, “Miyares stands out on GOP ticket amid talk of split-ticket potential.” (In short, given increased "polarization" and a decline in ticket splitting, it's hard to see Miyares hanging on, as long as Spanberger wins big) bluevirginia.us/2025/08/a-fe...

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM. She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group. "Conflicts of interest" is an understatement.
