I’m proud to have not received this endorsement for our campaign today. Thank you to everyone else for all of the support!

BREAKING — Notices for the Disney+ price increase went out at noon ET today, confirming my scoop from last night. Details: www.vulture.com/article/disn...

Spotted on the DC Metro today! @propublica.org

That time I got reincarnated as a much cooler version of me. (I do strike that pose a lot though)

A pleasure to chat with @elainescampaign.bsky.social on rural health care. We spoke about the big beautiful bill’s impact on Essex County.

You could be the proud owner of a seasonal scratch-and-sniff bookmark or a glow-in-the-dark bookmark by completing Henrico Library's new Haunted Henrico Reading Challenge, a BINGO-style activity that runs now through Nov. 3.

Good conversation this morning with amateur historian Amanda Nelson, whose digital work putting (waves hands wildly) current events into historical perspective has taken off in 2025. Find her at: linktr.ee/AmandasMildT...

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Excellent by @stevenlevy.bsky.social. The tech bros turn out to be the same as most corporate “leaders“: they prioritize fast gains over long term investment. And that will doom them, and all of us, if their resources continue to be used to enrich and enable the Trump economy and MAGA policies.

I got this letter yesterday, too, and the disinformation is reaching stratospheric levels. Wittman lies, by order of Trump and donors. He *knows* his votes rip healthcare away from Virginians, and then publishes nonsense to cover it up. Tell your friends: DON'T be fooled by Wittman's waffles.

Candidates have to talk to the weirdest people sometimes. 👀

WRLH is the Fox affiliated station owned by Sinclair in Richmond VA. Fight their censorship also by contacting their advertisers!

I wrote about the Trump administration’s false claims about Tylenol, and the moral—not scientific—burdens they place on pregnant women’s bodies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Trump administration fired nearly 20 immigration judges this month alone – on top of the 80+ that have been fired this year. The move will likely make the backlog of immigration cases even worse. Trump’s agenda was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

So glad to see this nod in the opening of #ScienceUnderSiege from @michaelemann.bsky.social and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social If you are looking for a preread, Sagan's 1995 book is exceptional — if not prophetic.

Smithsonian museums undergoing a DDOS attack:

We’ve been saying this for weeks, since well before HR1 passed, and the truth ain’t changing just because Wittman wishes otherwise. As long as she enables the Trump economy, Virginians will pay the price with their jobs, health, and safety.

How to write a headline 👏👏👏👏 @richmond.com @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social @neighbors4change.bsky.social @indivisibleva.bsky.social @rva-indivisible.bsky.social

While grocery shopping today, a woman pointed at my Abigail Spanberger t-shirt and said, “That’s who I’m voting for.” Then I did a fist pump because who wouldn’t? It was an electric moment between two excited voters. Abigail is our gal! abigailspanberger.com

Thanks, @heathermassey.com. I'm running to restore and revitalize representation for everyone. That's why I believe accessibility is more than compliance — it’s a obligation. Everyone deserves to be heard, but that’s impossible if access is literally denied.

As the caregiver of a disabled person, this passage from #VA01 Democratic primary candidate @votetimva.bsky.social's Issues section is speaking my language:

This is a report about an “imminent” pharmaceuticals shortage. 70% of the U.S. supply of acetaminophen comes from China. Makes one wonder if that situation about acetaminophen and autism is somehow related to this pending shortage. 🤔 www.yahoo.com/news/tariffs...

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

"You can’t eradicate autism without eradicating autistic people. It’s genocidal rhetoric against us that’s justified by 'autism destroys families. It destroys children.' No, it doesn’t. It’s bias against autistic people." From an interview at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it's HAPPENING! I've revealed the subject of my next book and it's YES of course, it's a deep dive into #BattlestarGalactica! For that news and a few thoughts on the #BSG convention that just took place, read this! 💚🔥 www.moryan.com/its-official...

BREAKING: President Trump promotes unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without new evidence.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

And of course data centers are a huge problem that Virginia has to grapple with this session.

Here is a good rundown of how the Governor has made the energy problem in Virginia worse!

⚡️Youngkin is right; PJM needs reform. ⚡️It’s silly to suggest we are going to leave PJM when we have an energy deficit made up by other PJM states (physician heal thy self). ⚡️it would be a smaller problem if he hadn’t vetoed solar bills that ⬆️ our supply.

Weather update with a side of "Choose Love" mug--nice!

"From a cost perspective, from a health perspective, from a pollution perspective, there are so many reasons to build more clean energy & fewer fossil fuels. Unfortunately, we’re seeing that utilities are much less concerned about doing the right thing for the climate & their customers.”

Disney: over the last 72 hours we were shocked to discover that censorship isn’t cool.

Today, I met with Roanoke city officials, law enforcement, and faith leaders to discuss their gun violence prevention efforts. The partnerships these leaders are building are crucial to making a lasting difference for the safety of all Roanoke residents.

Hey, #VA01 Democratic primary candidates, got any news/upcoming event information to share? Let me know and I’ll re-post! @votetimva.bsky.social @erickakopp.com @daredevil-one.bsky.social @lisaforvirginia.bsky.social @subletteweather.com @shannontaylorva.com @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

Um..., good? If billionaires are okay with a tax policy, it's bad for the rest of us - and there are more of us than there are of them. Sometimes I think people forget that fact.

This administration is perpetuating fraud on the country by spreading psycho-science Millions of women have taken Tylenol without a problem during pregnancy for decades! Their children are healthy!!; Stand up against the lies for every woman of child bearing age #TylenolIsSafe

This whole thread is delightful, inventive, and on point. @heathermassey.com is using progressives' greatest weapons - creativity and insight - to raise awareness and drive change in #VA01. 👏👏👏

I love everything about this! Thank you, @heathermassey.com!

If the #VA01 Democratic primary candidates wrote manga with ridiculously long titles: a thread inspired by my inner teenager. Shannon Taylor: The Prosecutor Strikes Back: Where Were You on the Night of Your Town Hall? Fishing?
