Great speech by VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social on why Virginia absolutely needs to move ahead with redistricting. Definitely worth watching. bluevirginia.us/2026/02/form...

Excellent bill by VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social, who says Youngkin "vetoed it and stole our money." bluevirginia.us/2026/02/satu...

Haha, good one by VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/01/thur...

Bijan Ghaisar was an unarmed accountant who was shot four times in the head by United States Park police in 2018 while his car was slowly moving away 3 blocks from my house - Trump refused to prosecute then and he'll refuse to prosecute now share.google/OGxzbF3kJjCTnq…

My statement on the nomination of Mark Sickles to be Secretary of Finance.

Govt cannot pull issued permits while turbines are being erected & rights have vested - Trump's blatantly illegal political payback to VA for voting for @SpanbergerForVA should be called out by Youngkin/Miyares who must DO SOMETHING to protect the people they swore to defend

29 yrs ago this JMU Duke road biked into Eugene, OR en route across USA after riding through the mint fields of the Willamette Valley. Today, 10K+ Dukes return to cheer on JMU Football's claim to a spot at National College Football's highest level - All VA is Purple & Gold tonight!!

Now that the 2025 Virginia elections are over, time to turn our attention to the 2026 midterms...including the Dem primary to take on the abysmally awful Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01) bluevirginia.us/2025/12/sund... h/t @ssurovell.bsky.social

Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt are like any elderly couple trying to downsize, only their transition is a tad more complicated: The home they’re leaving is a 1,200-acre Virginia estate that once belonged to a Founding Father.

Making America great again in every way!

I think there's some sales going on down the street

So will the GOP learn anything from their biggest defeat since 1961?

So much of what this President has done for years is projection - he clearly doesn't have the cognitive ability or mental stamina to do this job at age 79

Aw hell no!

VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social Statement on Richmond Judge Blocking 2nd GOP Attempt to Protect Pres. Trump’s Map-Rigging Plan; "While [SCOTUS] will not limit...Trump's power, Virginia's courts remain independent and have now spoken clearly twice..." bluevirginia.us/2025/11/va-s...

Trump is, of course, a million times more mentally damaged than Biden...and yet that gets like 1 millionth the coverage in the media (e.g., the @jaketapper's of the world) . Gee, wonder why that is... bluevirginia.us/2025/11/mond... h/t @ssurovell.bsky.social

To be fair, I think Youngkin was so excited about yelling that a black guy should be sent to jail and a muslim should be deported that he didn't really workshop his sexist abigail as much has he wanted.

Women belong in their home? I thought we got past that about 50 years ago?

VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social just did a great job explaining several of the major reasons why the redistricting commission is highly partisan, was designed to fail, would fail again in the future, etc. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/frid...

NEW: States using the Trump administration’s overhauled citizenship verification system to find noncitizens on the voter rolls may be mistakenly flagging eligible voters at an alarming rate, a Texas county election administrator revealed in a federal court filing Wednesday night.

When are Virginia's rural legislators going to speak out against their Dear Leader who has destroyed the American soy bean market and is now destroying cattle farming? Republicans in other states are speaking up!

"Miyares has committed attorney general malpractice, abused his office for partisan gain and been wrong about dozens of other legal calls in the last 4 years so why not add more to the list as he wraps up?" - @ssurovell.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/10/virg...

It’s offensive Virginia makes people “get on their hands and knees and beg the governor” for their voting right. Vote November 4!

"The surrender by [UVA] has significant constitutional problems. And represents a huge expansion of federal power that [R's] have would have never tolerated in the past - we have the right to run our universities" - VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/10/brea...

"I used to read my kids a story…if you give a mouse a cookie, what does he want next? He wants a glass of milk. They forced out President Ryan. Well guess, what they’re back…for more.” - VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/10/vide...

Right now @ssurovell.bsky.social is speaking on the steps of the rotunda. He is a UVA alum. Currently, he’s discussing the ouster of former uva president Jim Ryan.

The Hoos are on the march against the Trump Administration trying to take over their school today and as a UVA Alumni I had to be there with them and let them know their General Assembly and @vasenatedems.bsky.social have their back! @senatorlocke.bsky.social @louiselucas.bsky.social

Next time a Republican starts blathering about how he/she supposedly opposes tax increases and/or supports "free markets," "free trade," etc., just point them at this - MASSIVE tax increase by Trump, and not a peep of protest from the GOP. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/thur... h/t @ssurovell.bsky.social

Trump is transforming ICE from immigration enforcement into his secret police to monitor his enemies www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Even my GOP/active duty military constituents are willing to call out Speaker Johnson 4 Congress' failure to show up in DC! Our military families deserve better than this & all the Senate wants is 4 the GOP 2 protect Americans' healthcare! @beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov

Soybeans are one of Virginia's top exports thru the Port of Virginia - when are Youngkin-Sears-Miyares going to call out Trump for destroying Virginia's rural economy?

Senator @aaronrouse.bsky.social - Youngkin has taken a page from Trump University, Governance 101 and trying to "circumvent the process" and "acting in bad faith" @vasenatedems.bsky.social
