Virginia Polls are open! If you haven’t already, please go vote.

As I tried to explain to my GOP colleagues on the floor the other day, we are following the law in our effort to give Virginians a chance to decide whether we redraw our Congressional map. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Great to see gun violence prevention champion VA Delegate @marcussimon.com on the campaign trail this weekend! Let’s win this #VA!

Sen Mulchi speaking passionately and heart-breakingly about domestic violence and how many victims of domestic violence are re-victimized in court, labeled as having mental illness. And I can't help but think about how Miyares did that to this victim: vanow.org/news/article...

🚨BREAKING: A Virginia judge Wednesday rejected a Republican request to immediately block Democrats from advancing a constitutional amendment that could let the state redraw its congressional map— a win, for now, for Democrats and voting rights advocates. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

No Kings Day Oct 18th with @marcussimon.com @lettyhardi.bsky.social and so many friends and neighbors standing up for American democracy!

Only a government run by billionaires would berate its employees for not wanting to work without pay.

Winsome Sears is unhinged and doing her best Trump impression in this debate. Abigail Spanberger is remarkably poised and disciplined. The contrast is undeniable. Only one candidate is fit for office, Abigail Spanberger!

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

If you have never been to Chicago, it's impossible to explain how idiotic this is. Weekends on the river are kayaks, canoes, party boats, and architecture tours. Not a bunch of imaginary criminals sneaking around. 🙄🙄🙄 ⬇️ Border patrol having a blast tooling around in boats on the Chicago river.

Given that guns are used in over half of youth suicides, removing access to firearms during times of crisis can mean the difference between life and death. It's a step we can take, right now, to save young lives. Learn more about the youth suicide crisis from @everytown.bsky.social: etwn.us/3VsZIUw

Trump’s FCC is trying to cancel The View after celebrating Jimmy Kimmel’s takedown. This is a corrupt, unconstitutional assault on free speech. I’m demanding FCC Chair Brendan Carr resign & Congress subpoena him so he can explain his violations of his oath to the Constitution.

Jay Jones' Statement on President Trump Firing Interim U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert: “If Miyares won’t stand up to such blatant abuses of power against a Republican prosecutor, how can Virginians trust him to stand up for us?" bluevirginia.us/2025/09/satu...

Arlington also showing big increase of early voting compared to 2021 first day From 396 to 866 There were 2,048 first day 2024 so 42% of that Red parts of Virginia also seeing big jumps from 2021

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the sacrifice and courage of our servicemembers who were taken as prisoners of war or went missing in action. Their memories will never be forgotten.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

This is exactly why we need to elect @jonesjay.bsky.social for Virginia Attorney General: "Blue States That Sued Kept Most CDC Grants, While Red States Feel Brunt of Trump Clawbacks" @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Today, I released my plan to combat the fentanyl crisis in Virginia. We must target and hold accountable manufacturers and traffickers of fentanyl and synthetic opioids – and ensure those who need help have access to treatment. virginiamercury.com/2025/09/16/d...

Governor’s Administration working so hard to convince us everything is fine at the joint money committee meeting- but they don’t know how to read real estate stats. They were excited that listings & inventory are ⬆️ -but that’s actually huge 🚩 that the market is softening. Saw similar numbers in 2007

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

The Va Senate caused this mess.

Early voting is just weeks away, and all eyes will be on Virginia ahead of Election Day. Make sure you’re registered and ready to vote—so many priorities for working families are on the line! www.vote.org/am-i-registe...

The White House is happy to announce the new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics

Trump is trying to send the jobs data into the same dark vault where he’s hiding the Epstein report Because if the facts don’t serve him, he does everything he can to bury them

Trump’s European Union tariffs are a game of “5D hitting yourself in the balls”

“Side effects include brain damage and that thing that’s happening to Trump’s ankles.”

When your dogs thinks he’s the best babysitter ever (and he’s absolutely right)! #usatodaypets

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!

CNN just published newly uncovered pics and video of Donald Trump hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990’s, including at Trump’s second wedding: www.cnn.com/2025/07/22/p...
