"Proud that my partner Jason Zellman helped my kids' Latin teacher and an FCPS volunteer obtain justice against a man and his organization that blatantly defamed them on social media because of the actions to help LGBT students." - @ssurovell.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/06/tues...

“'I guess publishing an optimistic revenue reforecast is one way to deal with money vetoed out of our budget,' [Senate Majority Leader] @ssurovell.bsky.social said....'it’s extremely risky to rely upon nonwithholding revenue generated by continued stock market gains'" bluevirginia.us/2026/06/gov-...

Getting turned down by Milli Vanilli for your big concert is like _______?

Is this an actual agreement or just another opportunity for his kids to make a hundred million shorting Kalshi & Polymarket?

Don't forget that it was the Democratic Party that did this and don't ever let anyone think the GOP is fiscally responsible

"[Spanberger's] veto rests on a fundamental misunderstanding of what these bills do and of the practical realities facing Virginia's courts. SB 83 passed the House of Delegates unanimously and the Senate 26-14..." - @ssurovell.bsky.social @salimforva.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/05/gov-...

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
