Thank you!! @vademocrats.bsky.social

The original POD Virginia All-Stars - together the night before the 2025 General Assembly Reconvene Session!! @marcussimon.com @sgtaylor.bsky.social Scott Surovell

“President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court,” Mr. Elias said. “There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

Remember when the Gov created a teacher snitch line. Well he sent out a press release of his educational accomplishments for our state. (I guess in response to all the studies and data showing he has lead Virginia to dead last or near last in the nation in pandemic recovery). Topping the list….

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

If you are spending any time attacking Democrats rather than focusing on what Republicans are doing to destroy our democracy then you are wasting value time.

Today, I heard from CFPB employees who were illegally fired by Trump. These attacks don't just hurt these dedicated workers—they hurt all of us. CFPB has returned $21 billion to consumers who have been scammed or wronged. I wonder why Trump and Elon Musk want to gut it...

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

60 years ago-600 peaceful marchers were tear gassed & beaten bloody for crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge & advocating for their rights. In retrospect, what must have seemed to be a moment of absolute darkness & despair turned out to be a spark for the Civil Rights Movement. 1/2

The 2025 session officially opened today. I look forward to fighting the good fight with my seat mates Majority Leader @C_Herring, Chairman @DavidBulova, and Chairman @marcussimon.com!!

Alexandria @momsdemand.bsky.social chatted with Sen. Ebbin and @lopez4va.bsky.social at a lawmaker town hall this week. Thank you for your service and support! #MomsAreEverywhere

Thankful for @lopez4va.bsky.social's bill last session that empowers localities to zone out new vape shops that try to open within 1000ft of schools and day cares. Every locality in #Virginia should adopt these measures. #VALeg #VAGov www.wric.com/news/local-n...

Incredibly proud to announce that Aaron Rafael has been accepted at @vassar.bsky.social College (Early Decision)!!

Thanks to AG @JasonMiyaresVA and 18 other GOP AGs countless young people will not be able to access healthcare. It is as simple and as cruel as that. 1/2 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Leaving the General Assembly building and had to take a pic of our beautiful State Capitol. Here for several meetings - including the Virginia Water Commission. Always feel so honored and blessed to be able to serve my community here. @vademocrats.bsky.social

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe? Super duper.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Amazing Thanksgiving with family - cousins playing, hilarious stories, boards games, card games, numerous delicious meals, day trips, and beloved relatives. Perfect long weekend!!

Stop calling Trump’s nominees “loyalists.” They are henchmen.

"Message to Elon Musk—The Vindman family embodies patriotism and public service. You know nothing about either." - Sen. @timkaine bluevirginia.us/2024/11/alex...

If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The Biden-Harris admin capped credit card late fees. A Trump-appointed judge blocked it. The Biden-Harris admin banned noncompete clauses. A Trump-appointed judge blocked it. The Biden-Harris admin changed OT pay rules to include more workers. Guess what happened next?

Honored to speak at the @vassar.bsky.social College Conference on Decoding the Election (CODE 2024) this past Friday!! It was a great cross-disciplinary in-depth analysis of the 2024 election. Also loved reconnecting with amazing professors Katherine Hite, Richard Born & Sid Plotkin!!

Congratulations to JJ Singh on winning the Democratic nomination for HD-26. With a proven track record of public service and a deep understanding of the challenges facing families, small businesses, and immigrants, he brings both experience and heart to the table. We are so excited to elect him!

“I am pleased that the court has found that Gov. Youngkin acted illegally and Attorney General Miyares did not interpret the law correctly. Unfortunately, his decision has now cost Virginians over $200 million...” - VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell bluevirginia.us/2024/11/brea...
