Thankful for you Doc, keep shining a light on it.

🌟People from all over the country are following what’s happening in Virginia, because Va. Democrats just sent a loud message to the entire world. 🌍 The message is this: Trump & his Republican cult are NOT America. Their time is done. 🚨Watch what happens in Virginia.☀️🌊 🇺🇸

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

“‘It’s been very inspiring…to engage with Democrats who…have gone to the ballot box and had nobody to vote for House of Delegates since 2011. So it engaged and energized people. We’re building a coalition now and it’s not going to stop…’” @cgreen2024.bsky.social barnraisingmedia.com/two-paths-fo...

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

And shout-out to @90for90.bsky.social & @charlesgaba.com.

What an incredible time on the campaign trail! Last week: stood with @seiu105.bsky.social on the picket line, cut the ribbon at the new Stanley Chocolate Factory in Estes Park, celebrated incredible volunteers with @bocodems.bsky.social, joined HD4 @denverdemocrats.org, and much more!

Yep, hearing the same - possible "firehouse primary" for HD77 this coming Sunday, 12/14! Have to move fast for Dems to fill the seat by by 1/14/26, when the General Assembly convenes; important for determining HoD committee ratios, etc. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/va-s... h/t @90for90.bsky.social

VA Democratic Rural Caucus

Virginia Rural Dems! Here’s a slate for change

Shout-out to Senator Mark Warner and the donors to the Virginia 27 Value Pack. Direct support moved the needle for rural VA Democrats. Sanders; change comes from the bottom up. AOC; stand with working people. Cut out the grift and fund candidates directly. theruralroute.beehiiv.com/p/the-great-...

The proper amount of sage for 2025...

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores have been on strike for over 3 weeks for a fair contract. It was inspiring to join them on the picket line and bring the support of 15 million members of America’s unions! Their fight is ALL of our fight.

Here is my letter with the name of the Rural Caucus Chair corrected.

My thanks to @90for90.bsky.social for sharing my letter and to Dr Reid for his continued work helping elect Democrats in Virginia. I do want to correct an error as I mistakenly reversed Roberta Thacker Oliver’s name in my messages and apologize for my error. @virginiademocrat.bsky.social

🚨Rumors are flying around the Richmond/Chesterfield Co., Va. area right now, about the “firehouse caucus” for SD 15 being scheduled for Sunday, December 7th. No official notice has been issued yet; but, apparently the local committees have been notified. Stay tuned.

Breaking: EMILYs List has endorsed our campaign for attorney general!

🚨Virginia ended the 2025 election year, & began the 2026 election year with a great voter registration number; 27,089 Va. voters got registered in 11/25. Some of these were “post-deadline” & “same-day” registrations, which allowed those new registrants to cast provisional ballots.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

If you are a registered voter in VA please register for Rural Caucus you don’t have to pay the fee. Deadline to register is 12/1 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

“Cindy Green, the candidate in District 44, is moving to help progressives become leaders in local committees, and lay the basis for long-term Democratic success in red areas.” @charlesgaba.com @cgreen2024.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

#Democratic voters in Republican districts helped put @jonesjay.bsky.social over the top & #Spanberger win by 15%+ Hope that @georgiademocrat.bsky.social & @dpgruralcouncil.bsky.social (and @ossoff.bsky.social) will 👀 #Virginia & START with #GA-14 but back @democrats.org candidates everywhere.

Here's some great news for Democrats...

🚨‘We’re toast’: Virginia GOP regrouping “‘Why didn’t (Peake) find all the House of Delegate candidates? It’s unforgivable…’” Scott Pio shared this complaint in May of this year, & @mschmidtrva.bsky.social wrote about it. virginiamercury.com/2025/05/07/d... virginiamercury.com/2025/11/24/w...

The #Democrats living in congressional districts in #VA-05, #VA-06, & #VA-09 🙏🏼YOU & the 27+ candidates who ran in overwhelmingly (R) areas where they live. They almost won in #HarrisonburgVA & kept it close in #DanvilleVA & Jerry Falwell’s town of #LynchburgVA.

@90for90.bsky.social 👇🏼👇🏼 can you help get this going in #Georgia? Serious question & it follows your “100 for 100” game plan which SUCCEEDED in #Virginia’s House of Delegate races. Democrats flipped 13 seats!

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? “Is it reasonable to fear that Trump or his top advisers actually are giving illegal orders to people in the military or intelligence services, or is it not reasonable to fear this? The answer is: Yes, of course it’s reasonable.” newrepublic.com/article/2035...

Grateful to be endorsed by the Colorado Association of Letter Carriers, Local 229!

— Message sent & received — “ …Virginia is the first opportunity…to answer back… It’s going to send a big loud message to the rest of the country and to the world that, yeah, not everybody in America is with Trump.” @mschmidtrva.bsky.social virginiamercury.com/2025/05/07/d...

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

This should be the strategy for EVERY SEAT NATIONWIDE, at EVERY LEVEL of govt. For the US House? How many repug seats are up — AND POISED FOR THE 💙TAKING💙? ALL 219 OF THEM! Be like VA state legislative DEMS: :

Nice write-up by @mschmidtrva.bsky.social about the upcoming Virginia Democratic Party activity in Chesterfield County. In this article, he links to a piece he wrote in May, about a very successful recruitment effort to run Dems in all 49 GOP held HDs. virginiamercury.com/2025/11/19/d...

Va. Dems are sensing opportunity in Chesterfield Co.’s legislative districts, where Spanberger won SDs 12 & 15 by comfortable margins. The (D) senator from SD 15 is now the Lt. Gov.-elect. Her resignation from the senate will trigger a special election between 2 area delegates.

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Colorado has made progress on gun laws to keep communities safe. But there’s still more work to do — including passing an assault weapons ban. When I’m elected Attorney General, I’ll work with our legislature to get it done. coloradosun.com/2025/10/29/c...
