Beloved reggae legend Jimmy Cliff died today at age 81. Singer, songwriter, and actor. One of the best!

A new report from @EPI.org addresses how the ultrarich avoid paying their fair share of taxes, and it’s also important to remember this is happening as most American workers struggle to pay for the cost of housing, food, and other essentials. www.epi.org/publication/...

Tonight we witnessed an historic result in Virginia with over a dozen more Democratic Delegates and a clean sweep of the statewide ticket! A total repudiation of Gov Youngkin and his damaging policies and divisive politics. Congratulations to Governor-elect Spanberger and the entire Democratic team!

Congratulations to Delegate Paul Krizek on a well-deserved victory in HD 16! @paulkrizek.bsky.social

about five months ago, @paulkrizek.bsky.social stood in a room with us and boldly predicted 'at least 6, maybe 10' and I thought he was crazy.

Final campaign event of the season in Franconia! #VoteBlue!

It was concerning to see numerous federal workers in need lined up for the donated food, but it was heartening to be among the many dedicated community volunteers including #MarkSickles supporting them. #UnitedCommunity is a fantastic charity that I am grateful for — and I am proud to support.

Historic day! #NoKings

Wow!!!!

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

When authoritarians tell you they like authoritarianism, over and over and over and over and over again, believe them

I know @katrinacallsen.com and I will be back again this year banging on the drum of Virginia building out our cheapest, easiest to install energy source! If we care about energy bills, energy supply and moving to a clean energy future we gotta get it done!

Virginia Designates 10 Historic Sites as State Landmarks! Among the 10 places recently listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register is the William H. Randall Estates Historic District, a 20-acre Black residential subdivision created based on the vision of Jube Shiver, Sr., an African American

Since Trump’s MAGA majority has controlled the Supreme Court, SCOTUS has overturned 42 years of precedent deferring to agencies 50 years backing a women’s reproductive rights 60 years of affirmative action And-likely-a 90 year old case shielding the FTC It’s the most radical Court in US history

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Reminder: this Friday, you can vote early for Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi, Jay Jones and your Democratic VA House of Delegates candidate! bluevirginia.us/2025/09/virg...

Jay will be a strong Attorney General for Virginian consumers!

Workers need an economy that works for us, not billionaires and greedy corporations. That’s what America’s unions are fighting for on Workers’ Labor Day and every day. It’s time that working people got treated with the dignity and respect we deserve.

NoVA Labor's annual Labor Day Picnic. A great event to support our union workers. We enjoyed seeing many wonderful candidates and elected officials including Lt. Gov. Nominee @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, VA-11 Nominee @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social & Delegate @paulkrizek.bsky.social!

Joint commission hears roadmaps for Virginia’s retail cannabis rollout virginiamercury.com/2025/08/21/j...

A great piece from Public News Service about how the Trump administration just doesn’t care about causing the suffering of hard working and dedicated Americans like my constituent and her family.

“Right now, we’re still facing a fragmented process that lacks proper oversight,” Krizek told Radio IQ in an interview after the advisory meeting. “It leads to regulatory inconsistencies and consumer confusion. The gaming commission is urgently needed.”

Commission on Updating Virginia Law to Reflect Federal Recognition of Virginia Tribes discussing whether to make available in-state tuition for those in (as chair @paulkrizek.bsky.social says) "educational exile" (who left VA because education wasn't accessible to them as tribal members).

Tomorrow kicks off the new school year in Fairfax County! Join @FairfaxCountyPD’s Walk, Bike & Ride to School Safely Day by doing your part: slow down in school zones, watch for walkers & bikers, and remember—helmets on, heads up. Let’s give kids a safe start! #SafeRoutes

Jim Lovell, astronaut and Apollo 13 commander, has died. I had the honor of meeting him as a young man. He was kind and generous with his time. Like me, he was of Czech descent. He was the first person to fly into space four times, and only one to fly to the moon twice without landing on it.

Lots of great stuff in Jay Jones' plan for "Keeping Virginians Safe" - and a huge contrast from the failed, terrible "leadership" of current AG Jason Miyares (worst AG in Virginia history other than Ken Cuccinelli) bluevirginia.us/2025/08/vide...

Virginians are tired of the chaos. As Governor, I'll be laser-focused on lowering costs and getting our economy back on track.

Sounds like a good legislative idea. Perhaps with some type of incentive.

@paulkrizek.bsky.social is a proud Fairfax County native who knows what it takes to live, work, and raise a family in HD-16. Delegate Krizek has dedicated his life to serving Virginians by supporting immigrants, protecting workers, and keeping seniors safe. Early voting starts in 8 weeks! 🗳️

Awesome game with great fireworks afterwards! Go Nats!

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

500 days until the November 3rd midterm elections!

Happy #NationalPostalWorkerDay! Thanks to the work of union letter carriers, mail handlers and postal workers, the U.S. Postal Service delivers half of the world’s mail. We’re proud to stand with @lettercarriers.bsky.social, @apwu.bsky.social and NPMHU to defend the USPS, an American treasure.

LGBT+ Democrats of Virginia endorse @paulkrizek.bsky.social for District 16. Krizek championed the Virginia Values Act, making Virginia the first southern state with sweeping LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination protections. See all of our endorsements at lgbtvadem.org/endorsements.

This isn’t fiscal responsibility — it’s cruelty disguised as budgeting.

Thirteen years ago we experienced the Derecho. It was a terrible storm and knocked power out in my neighborhood for five very hot days!
