Wishing a peaceful Ramadan to all who are observing this month! 🌙

Attorney General Jay Jones has announced that Virginia will sue the EPA over its rollback of the Clean Air Act and last week he helped open the door for the state to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, marking early actions on environmental issues. virginiamercury.com/2026/02/02/v...

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

“As with the murder of Renee Good, this video immediately established that DHS was lying about the shooting. The video shows that this was murder." - Rep. @beyer.house.gov (D-VA08) bluevirginia.us/2026/01/virg...

Thanks to Del @marcussimon.com, a strong supporter of good governance bills! He met with some of the 130 Virginians who attended VA's 4th Democracy Day on Tuesday, the 20th. Unfortunately, a day before the 16th anniversary of Citizens United, his bill on public financing died in sub-committee.

The shooting of people and leaving them to die appears to be DHS policy.

The former special prosecutor remains confident that the president would have been convicted had his federal cases gone to trial.

Thank you @marcussimon.com for again sponsoring legislation to prohibit unserialized, untraceable ghost guns! These weapons are a magnet for criminals and youth, and endanger public safety and law enforcement. lis.virginia.gov/bill-details...

Trump's retreat from tariffs on coffee, bananas, and other groceries is an admission that his trade wars are driving prices up for the American people. That is still just as true for the thousands of other goods he's keeping tariffs on! beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Trump nationalized gerrymandering because he has no regard for Democracy. Until GOP stands up to him, and we can pass federal anti-gerrymandering laws, Dems must respond in kind. Even if we lose, at least we fought. Proud to see folks like @ssurovell.bsky.social and @marcussimon.com fighting in Va.

The headlines about allegations always get more attention than the stories about resolution. Glad to see this chapter coming to a close for my colleague @DanHelmer . He handled a tough situation with integrity and patience. Onward. virginiamercury.com/briefs/democ...

substack.com/@networknova... @marcussimon.com is my favorite Delegate - there I said it. Tune-in to listen to the whole interview - Simon has so much knowledge and knowhow - it is a never miss convo! tinyurl.com/3dwuf7yr

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...

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...
