@harrykhanna.bsky.social & I were honored to host a social for the Chesterfield Dem Committee. And I was excited to see some old friends from the trail there. Everyone’s ready to flip VA-01!

A genuinely iconic corporate diss

AP’s savage push alert just yesterday

Spotted on the street in RVA

Why does ICE require bulletproof vests if TSA doesn’t?

Seems like whales may be more helpful than humans!

Damn, Gerry Baker. 👀

Inspired by Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social work — the "law doesn't matter anymore" narrative is factually wrong most of the time, and it's doing more for authoritarianism than people realize.

Teaching my kid about income inequality early

When I was younger I studied five languages and dreamed of being a simultaneous interpreter. My first translating gig? The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In Russian. For a four-week-old who cannot understand any language. The UN’s loss, honestly.

This is actually a really striking amount of guns considering Richmond is a fraction of the size of New York

Threat at Mar-a-Lago, cartel attacks in Mexico, and Nancy Guthrie still nowhere to be found. But at least our FBI director is living, laughing, loving on our dime in Milano.

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes... and our health care system sucking.

An incredible, and incredibly timely, read as I sit at the hospital with my newborn and as measles flares in SC, UT, AZ and beyond.

If you feel like you're not understanding what happened with Don Lemon's arrest, don't worry, you're not alone!

I’m reminded of the below from @nytimes.com in 2023

So many ICE out pins at last night’s Grammys. Thank an organizer!!! These moments can look spontaneous, but movements don’t go mainstream without a lot of behind-the-scenes work. This is how change happens.

Thank Rob Wittman! cc @wittmanwatch.bsky.social

I went to college at 17 as the daughter of an undocumented immigrant working as a nanny. Even with a half ride, I graduated with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. ⬇️ should be the standard.

“…there could be real risk for you. But the bigger risk is silence. That's because your silence tells everyone who is appalled by Pretti's death that they shouldn't speak up, either. That gives the federal government the tacit permission to carry on.” @pkafka.bsky.social

Meanwhile… Democracy dies in Schiaparelli couture.

Fear not those without papers, but those without conscience.

Untrained vigilantes in skinny jeans are killing Americans on our streets for practicing their First (and Second!) Amendment rights. If you're not horrified, you're not paying attention.

Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.

Alex Pretti, who is identified as the man fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, was an intensive care nurse dedicated to treating veterans. Read more about him here: https://wapo.st/3M62eyV

Use your time wisely. Call and email your senators. Only they can stop the funding for DHS and ICE.

ICE is looking to acquire a warehouse the size of nine football fields in Hanover. Kansas City recently passed a 5-year moratorium on detention facilities in response to ICE trying to do the same in MO. This is a great moment for local government to shine, if they’re ready.

How will Kaine and Warner vote? Call ‘em!

Happy Inauguration Day! We kicked off the weekend with Virginia’s first Black AG and America’s first statewide elected Muslim woman @senatorhashmi.bsky.social Today is a great day to inaugurate Virginia’s first female governor @abigailspanberger.com Virginia, how are we feeling?

LFG LG @senatorhashmi.bsky.social 💙

Frey: "You know what I don't want [ICE] focusing on? Hunting down a dad that just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12 hour shift who happens to be from Ecuador. That guy makes our city a better place."

The fact that it’s a vanity project and not an issue impacting Virginians’ day-to-day lives tells you everything you need to know about

Bombshell message from @lisaforvirginia.bsky.social, who is ending her candidacy for Congress. I’ll have more to say later, but in the meantime, dang it. 😭 Lisa Vedernikova Khanna Ends Candidacy for VA-01, Citing Structural Barriers Facing Outsider Candidates www.lvk.vote/news

Thank you for stepping up to run! Encouraged that there are young leaders like you in the fight. You have a long future to make an impact on the policies that were the basis of your campaign.

@lisaforvirginia.bsky.social I’m proud of you. Not just for having the courage to put yourself out there, but also for having the bravery to tell your story when the system tried to keep you quiet. @citizensimpeachment.com

Thank you 💙 Read my full statement at lvk.vote/news.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Exactly right by VA01 Dem candidate @lisaforvirginia.bsky.social - WTF? bluevirginia.us/2026/01/trum...
