"The money would pay for additional registered and licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants who care directly for nursing home residents.” Virginia Republicans would rather get sued by nursing homes than give seniors the care they need. richmond.com/news/state-r...

Happy Labor Day! Workers are the backbone of Virginia, and House Democrats will always stand with them — fighting for fair wages, paid leave, and the dignity every worker has earned.

Republicans are working to raise prices on hardworking Virginians. They are too terrified to defy Trump kowtowing for his endorsement even as he destroys Virginia's economy and drives up the cost of healthcare and housing.

I'm honored to receive the Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Soaring Eagle Award from American Association for Justice. Thank you so much, trial lawyers! I became a lawyer to fight for folks who’ve been overlooked and underestimated.

At the behest of Va Republican leadership, the federal government is trying to ruin Virginia's top ranked education system. Republicans are cheering on the destruction of Va's economy and our higher education system. CNBC ranked Virginia #1 in education this week. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

"Republicans are in denial about what Trump is doing to Virginia's economy.” Federal cuts claim new victim: Virginia’s status as top state for business www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

We’ve dropped from the top spot for business because Trump tanked our economy and Va Republicans just let it happen. Their only policy is fealty to Trump – even if that means Virginians lose their jobs, families suffer, and our economy takes the hit. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/10/v...

On the campus of UVA now and a sign of hope appears. Hang in there everyone, the best is still ahead!

This is the greatest country in the world. And on July 4th, 1776, it made a promise to be a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. Our journey to "a more perfect Union" continues. Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸

I’m grateful to President Ryan for his leadership at UVA. He led an award winning University to raise $6 billion. The school is ranked #4 in the country, but MAGA took him out and Republicans in Virginia are cheering Trump on.

We flipped the House in 2023. Now we’re going to expand our majority. Great to be with so many fired-up Democrats at the Blue Commonwealth Gala. We’ve got the momentum. We’ve got the message. We’ve got the candidates— it’s general election time!

Happy Juneteenth! Today is a celebration of freedom — hard fought, long delayed, and still unfinished! We honor our ancestors who came before us. We fight for those still waiting on justice. And we keep the faith that better days will come!

There is no higher honor than raising your right hand to serve this country and no greater sacrifice than laying down your life in its defense. On Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom, our safety, and our future.

It’s rare to find someone as committed to service as Congressman Gerry Connolly, and even rarer to see such a lasting impact. Mellanda and I are deeply saddened by his passing and send our heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be truly missed by all that knew him.

Now, the Governor (lame duck) is doing the same thing here in Virginia that Republicans are doing in Washington, DC-ignoring the law, shutting down nursing homes in rural communities and denying needed medications funded by Medicaid. richmond.com/news/state-r...

Proud to announce I've been elected to serve on the @thedlcc.bsky.social’s Board of Directors! @thedlcc.bsky.social has long been a strategic partner to Virginia Dems, and I’m excited to strengthen that relationship as we fight to defend and expand our majority in the House this year!

Big win for moms across the Commonwealth! 12 MOMnibus bills have been passed and signed into law—bills that will tackle the maternal health crisis and save lives. Proud to be part of this progress.

Trump's economy. Trump's tariffs. Trump's failure.

I'm very grateful to Congressman @connolly.house.gov for his service and praying for his full and speedy recovery. I’m grateful for his leadership and unwavering commitment to the people of Virginia and our nation.

It started with the intimidation of law firms. Now, they want to intimidate judges. This is just the beginning of the agenda to undermine our freedoms. Everyone must stand against this lawlessness.

Pope Francis showed us what it means to lead with service, humility, and love for others. He reminded us to lean on our better angels, care for the vulnerable, and keep the faith. A life full of compassion and empathy. The people’s pope.

Happy Easter! I'm grateful for this day of renewal and the celebration of Christ's triumph over death and a reminder of the power of God in our lives to resurrect any situation.

During Black Maternal Health Week, I’m proud to reaffirm my commitment to tackling this crisis head on and making sure every mother and child has access to the care, dignity, and support they deserve.

Proud of what we got done this session—focused on putting Virginians first and making life more affordable. We took on the rising costs of housing, child care, health care, and more. Real progress, real relief.

Wishing everyone a joyful Passover filled with peace and hope!

Sic semper tyrannis: Thus Always to Tyrants. We don’t like kings in Virginia and we’re ready to fight for Virginia’s workers.   Proud to stand with @abigailspanberger.com, Chair Bagby, Del. LeVere Bolling, and labor leaders as we rally for Virginia’s workers!

Republicans in Virginia are so terrified they won't say a word about this chaos! Trump and Musk are determined to destroy working class jobs and the economy. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/s...

Unfortunately, Virginia Republicans are too terrified of Trump and Musk to stand up to them while they are destroying our economy.

Turns out Republicans/Musk efforts to bribe and buy an election failed! Wisconsin voters saw right through the chaos and rejected it. MAGA was embarrassed, DOGE got sent a message that we don't like big tax increases and the mistreatment of veterans. America won big!

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on you and businesses to make everything, from housing to groceries, more expensive. richmond.com/news/state-r...

As Ramadan comes to an end, Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating!

The Trump/Musk regime does not give a darn about those hardworking Virginians who are playing by the rules and automatically putting money in 401k/retirement accounts each month! And they want to privatize SS! Heck no!! 500 point drops every other day! www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/s...

"Best in Class" board talent-NOT! Gov deserves no credit-he should have fired him a long time ago. He got Ellis to do his DEI dirty work and then promptly discarded him when Ellis could no longer be controlled. Almost all of Gov's higher ed board picks have been deplorable.

It's unbelievable that while the unelected Elon is laying off veterans who've served this country, cutting SS hurting our elderly and trying to decimate Virginia's economy, the MAGA King wants to pay the J6 rioters! www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Incompetence on full display! Pete Hegseth—the most reckless, unqualified SecDef ever should be fired with the rest of the clown car in the unsecured Signal chat! Now, Listen for the MAGA excuses.

Virginia’s unemployment claims have skyrocketed, jumping 81% compared to this time last year. Va House Republicans are willing to sabotage Virginians’ livelihoods and our economy just to prove their loyalty Trump and Musk. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

Hard-working Americans are watching their retirement savings disappear while hedge funds and billionaires cash in—betting against America and making millions. Trump’s rigged system lets Wall Street win while we lose. finance.yahoo.com/news/hedge-f...

But 34 year veteran Two Star General Wins was unqualified to continue at VMI. "Youngkin appointee to lead state police was suspended for flipping cruiser after drinking"

Republicans are running scared from their own constituents in super red areas. Turns out killing jobs and skyrocketing prices while cutting lifesaving healthcare aren’t as popular as they thought. www.politico.com/live-updates...

"This decision by the VMI Board is not based on performance or character-it is purely political..." Read my and Governor Northam statement on BOV's decision not to extend superintendent Major General Cedric Wins’ contract VMI’s 15th Superintendent and the first Black superintendent:

They are doing great harm to our veterans and military. They cancel VA contracts and then reverse course in less than 24 hours! Welcome to a normal Wednesday with these incompetent, ineffective "leaders.”

We must not lose sight of what’s happening. With the disoriented, arbitrary and capricious job and funding cuts, they are destroying the livelihoods of veterans, Virginians, and families. www.pilotonline.com/2025/02/24/y...

Youngkin’s response to Virginians losing their jobs? A website telling them to rewrite their resumes and start over in a new career. Virginians need a leader, not a career coach. We will fight back against these job losses and stand up for every Virginian. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

We adjourned Sine Die, and I’m proud of the work we accomplished—passing bills and a budget that put Virginians first. From lowering p-drug costs to tackling the housing crisis, delivering $1B+ in tax cuts, and investing $$$ in our schools, kids & families. The work continues.

We are all heartbroken by the loss of two Virginia Beach police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Our prayers are with their families, the VB police department, and the entire community. www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

How do you expect parents to serve in office if they have to worry about childcare? Simple—you can’t. Proud to establish the 1st childcare stipend for legislators, R or D, ensuring we live our values, support parents, and make public service more accessible. www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

Thank you @maddow.msnbc.com for having me on the show last night to talk about my committee to understand the impacts of federal workforce and funding cuts in Va. If Congress won’t do their jobs,we’ll do our jobs and make sure we step up to protect Virginia families and their livelihoods.

Dangerously incompetent. "The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday that it is moving to correct the accidental firing of several people working on the federal government’s response to an outbreak of avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

After weeks of Virginians losing jobs due to Trump cuts, Youngkin finally expresses some concern. We don’t need your concern, Governor. PLEASE pick up the phone and call Trump. Fight for Virginians. Don’t prepare for the aftermath, PREVENT the crisis! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Fed job and funding cuts would hit Virginia hard. We’re bringing together a bipartisan group to assess the impact, gather the facts, and ensure we’re prepared to protect families. This isn’t about politics—it’s about protecting Virginians. cardinalnews.org/2025/02/17/f...
