In 2020, the Virginia General Assembly passed my resolution HJ 85 to recognize Nov. 20 of each year as Transgender Day of Remembrance to memorialize those who died for daring to simply exist. Some years are especially hurtful and *so* painful — and yet our resilience remains. It always has. #TDOR

For those not on my email list: Regardless of the final outcome, I am so proud of the work we did and the success we achieved together. I thank everyone who gave their time, treasure, energy, care, and commitment to this campaign and to our community. Read the full message here: conta.cc/4oDOucB

And the stats I’m most proud of: Emerge Virginia alumnae as Governor: 1 (+1) Emerge Virginia alumnae in the House of Delegates: 25 (+8) (That’s one-quarter of the House of Delegates, up from just two 10 years ago.) Emerge Virginia alumnae in elected offices: 61 (+10) @emergeamerica.bsky.social

I know there's more important things going on, but I just need everyone to confirm that this Anaconda reboot feels like an episode of Bojack Horseman.

Attacking constituents is a losing strategy, and a lot of Republicans learned that the hard way this week.

I can't even begin to describe how monumental this win is for Virginia. We're going to be able to make real changes that will help families, uplift children out of poverty and guard the rights of every resident of the Commonwealth. We made history last night, and we've got so much more to do.

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

People across the Commonwealth are heading to the polls to cast their ballots. Haven’t voted yet? Polls are open now until 7:00pm. Make a plan to vote today: iwillvote.com/va

Tomorrow. Let’s win this, Virginia. abigailspanberger.com/vote

@abigailspanberger.com and the Virginia Votes Bus joined volunteers this afternoon in NOVA for some door knocking as we head into the final days of this election! Let’s finish strong!

Fired up & ready to elect @abigailspanberger.com as our next governor! As our congresswoman, she delivered. Abigail secured federal funding for local schools & expanding healthcare access. I can’t wait for the rest of the Commonwealth to see her leadership in action. Vote on Nov. 4!

@barackobama.bsky.social, thank you for stopping in Norfolk today and supporting Virginia Democrats in this year’s important election. Now let’s go win this thing!

As an Elder Millennial who walked home from Pres. Obama's Manassas rally at the end of the '08 campaign, it's always special to watch him speak in #Virginia. But hearing him call out the administration for attacking trans people instead of fixing problems... thanks, Obama. For real. #YesWeCan

It’s been a busy Saturday: ✅Launched a canvass in Arlington with HRC and Equality Virginia PAC. ✅Had a constituent meeting at Baldwin Park in Manassas re: road safety and FOIA fee reform. ✅Marched in the Manassas Veterans Day Parade. ✅Had another constituent meeting in Bristow re: public service.

I voted! Have YOU? Today is your last chance to vote early for the November 4th general election. The Woodbridge DMV located at 2731 Caton Hill Road is open until 5:00pm. Be a voter! There is too much at stake to sit this one out.

This is your last week to vote early! We recommend getting your ballots returned ASAP to ensure they arrive in time to be counted. You can drop them off in person at any of the early vote locations or at your Election Day polling place. Find more info at www.pwcvotes.org/earlyvoting

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

Our Latinos for Spanberger coalition was out knocking doors all over the Commonwealth this weekend! ¡Vamos con Abigail!

Their government. Their shutdown.

We asked Donald Trump to cut health care costs. Instead, he cut off a wing of the White House.

If you didn’t show up to work for over a month, you’d probably be fired. In this government, it just means you’re a House Republican still collecting your six-figure salary!

I'm laughing at republicans being like "ooh, must be a tight race then" every time Spanberger makes a smart campaign move. They've totally forgotten what good campaigns look like in Virginia. Of course she's got a high-profile surrogate! She's winning every stage of the race you goobers.

P-Dub and Manassas: Go vote! #Virginia #vagov #valeg

Happy Haymarket Day! My team and I had a fantastic time celebrating our community with the very people who make it great. Folks are excited and the momentum is real heading into Election Day!

Spirit Halloween becoming a resistance outfitter rules actually

Virginia — voter registration ends ONE WEEK from today. Make sure you’re registered, find your polling place, and find out the ways you can vote at abigailspanberger.com/vote.

One of the things that makes bluesky a unique social media platform is you can heavily curate it! No algorithm to manipulate, just your opt in follows. It also has an absolute block function which you should use! Be free of trolls.

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

This is still mind boggling to me. In December last year i assumed this would be the race to watch of the cycle, and now it's basically a real life experiment in "Generic R" for the district.

House Republicans have been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they are too terrified to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Breaking News: President Trump is considering an overhaul to the U.S. refugee program that would favor mostly white people, documents show.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Who knew about the Homan cash bribery episode, when did they know it, and why did Trump appoint Homan as ‘Border Czar’ despite knowing he had taken a $50,000 cash bribe?

"In the latest change to COVID vaccine guidance, Virginia residents ages 3 and up can now receive a COVID shot without needing to have a prescription or pre-existing condition."

I was so grateful to join educators from across Prince William County for a pancake breakfast today! Virginia’s educators show up every day for our kids. They deserve a Governor who will invest in our schools and get them the resources they need to help our kids succeed.

House Republicans are now scheming to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americans. How did that work out for the extremists the last time they tried it?

When thousands of Virginians are being fired from their jobs and unemployment is on the rise, "job fairs" aren't going to cut it. Virginia needs a Governor who will stand up to Donald Trump and put Virginia workers first — something Winsome Earle-Sears will never do.

If elected Governor, Winsome Earle-Sears has made clear she will always put her loyalty to Donald Trump ahead of Virginians, even when it’s wrong for the Commonwealth.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

DOGE 2.0 is here. Thousands of Virginians have already lost their jobs — and now the Trump Administration is using his shutdown to fire even more. This is outrageous.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Reflection of current politics little discussion of what Virginia AG actually does Increasingly important role in suing (or not suing) Presidential administration Virginia has not joined lawsuits brought by Dem AGs Also provides legal advice to state agencies and defends them

Right now, with the stroke of a pen, reproductive rights could be taken away in Virginia — if we elect Winsome Earle-Sears as Governor. It’s unacceptable. Reproductive healthcare decisions should stay between a woman, her family, and her doctor. Full stop.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown. Donald Trump is back on the golf course. House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week. And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.

“YOU hit HER.” CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

This is a choice made by rich people who don‘t live paycheck to paycheck that’s inflicted upon people who do. This is a choice to intentionally fire public servants, many of whom live and work here in Virginia, from an administration that just wanted the pretext to do it anyway.

Winsome Earle-Sears — that is, in fact, discrimination.

THE TRUTH: This year, Virginia fell from #1 on CNBC’s “Top States for Business” rankings due to Trump’s tariffs and job cuts that Sears supports. Virginia’s economy is worse off now as a result of Sears’ tenure as Lieutenant Governor.
