@arlingtondems.bsky.social's events are always memorable, especially when your kid gets to chat with her Representative in the House, the incomparable @beyer.house.gov, after a hard fought soccer match.

Congratulations, @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social!

"At its core, the federal grand jury functions as a vital constitutional safeguard and a critical check on prosecutorial discretion, as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment." www.cbsnews.com/news/d-c-gra...

The most tragic of ironies that the least competent lawyers in our nation are systematically tearing apart one of the crown jewels of our democracy. Elections have consequences, but the dismantling of DOJ will take generations to repair.

No matter how many times you hear your kid sing the national anthem in public, you never get over the nerves, the anxiety, or the immense pride that comes with it as a parent. Happy Fourth of July!

Exactly right by @victorforvirginia.bsky.social: "ICE activity in state courthouses makes us all less safe" b/c it "sows distrust in communities & deters victims/witnesses from reporting crimes." And Rs aren't just cool with that, they're ENTHUSIASTIC about it. bluevirginia.us/2025/07/satu...

Earlier tonight, I joined my good friend & former DOJ colleague @ryancroswell.bsky.social for an end-of-quarter fundraiser. Ryan is running to flip PA-7, which is pivotal to reclaim the House in 2026, and he will make it happen with your support. Pls donate at ryancrosswell.com!

I want to congratulate @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social on securing the Democratic nomination in VA11 and express my full support as he takes on the VAGOP nominee on 9/9. Go get ‘em, James!

Lots of energy and community at tonight's kickoff night of the 9th Annual Power Up Women's Summit. Democrats are fired up and ready to go this November under @abigailspanberger.com's leadership!

Great to see Rep. Don Beyer present the Clara Mortensen Beyer Lifetime Achievement Award to Rep. Gerry Connolly's family earlier today at event hosted by Providence Democrats!

Spot on.

Congratulations to @senatorhashmi.bsky.social and @jonesjay.bsky.social as they join @abigailspanberger.com on the statewide slate. We have work to do in the coming months, but I trust that the vast majority of Virginians will conclude in November that the Dem slate is what's best for Virginia!

I've prosecuted acts of political violence. This rhetoric stimulates dark corners of troubled minds to commit awful, deadly acts. Cut it out @WinsomeSears, and I'd ask that you publicly disclaim these words tomorrow, so that they don't end up as a trial exhibit some day.

We're running out of time. Do we want 287g in VA Beach? To Virginia Beach Dems and local officials, especially @aaronrouse.bsky.social, please fix this. This is political malpractice or a bad case mixed loyalties.

There was one act of violence yesterday in Virginia, and it wasn’t done by patriotic Americans exercising their First Am rights, whom you threatened with the NG. It was done by someone for whom your and Trump’s rhetoric created a permissive structure of political violence. #hack

Our country suffered two heinous acts of politically-motivated violence yesterday, one in Minnesota and the other in Virginia. I'll have more to say later based on how the facts shake out. For now, my deepest condolences to all the families. RIP Melissa, justice will be done.

Amazing energy today all throughout Virginia, letting the world know that we stand for a better version of America. Let's take our country back, one election at a time starting this November!

What are you talking about, Gov. Youngkin? Absolutely no one is talking about violence. Do you have any evidence or intel suggesting otherwise? If so, show it; if you don't, stop using OUR governor's office (it doesn't belong to you) and service members to chill free speech.

VA AG Jason Miyares @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social, joined an amicus brief yesterday supporting Trump's federalization of CA's national guard. Today, a federal judge set both of them straight. This fight may come to Virginia, & we need a strong execs in VA who understand federalism to push back.

In Blue Virginia Interview, LG Candidate @victorforvirginia.bsky.social Rips 2025 VA GOP Ticket as “one of the most reactionary, bigoted…tickets”; Would LOVE to Debate a “hate-filled unserious clown of a person” Like John Reid bluevirginia.us/2025/06/in-b...

"I am going to tell House of Delegates and Senators on day one as Lt. Governor, if we don’t pass campaign finance reform, none of your pet project bills better land on my desk for a tiebreaking vote, because I will withhold that vote" - @victorforvirginia.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/06/in-b...

Final stretch until primary election day on June 17th! Come join us for door knocking, phone banking, and yard signs! www.mobilize.us/victorforva/

It was infuriating to hear people dog whistle or outright say in 2016 & 2024 that women shouldn’t be entrusted with positions of power, either in government or business, because they are too temperamental/too emotional. After today, I don’t ever want to hear that BS again. EVER.

Prof. Shaw, one of the best in the business, explaining the obvious to this hack. Courts are holding the line, but we need to play defense in Virginia. As President of the Senate, and someone who knows about this stuff, I'll make sure that our laws pass court scrutiny when Trump challenges them.

"[Salgado]’s also made campaign finance reform a central pillar of his campaign, saying he would withhold [tie-breaking] votes in the Virginia Senate if a campaign finance bill was not passed by lawmakers." 💯 That's my commitment to voters. www.pilotonline.com/2025/06/04/v...

Press Release: Let's support all 42 non-incumbent Democratic challengers for the House of Delegates. Each one of these candidates is sticking their neck out, and they deserve our full backing and support (including financial support)!

Las tres "E"s que buscamos todos: Educacion, Empresa, y Equidad ante la ley. Vamos juntos Virginia!

I stopped by La Agenda Radio DC this morning to chat about my candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. Thank you Milagros Melendez, Alejandro Negron, and Samuel Galvez for having me over! www.youtube.com/live/YT4cGJd...

Muchísimas gracias a Milagros Meléndez, Alejandro Negrón, y a Samuel Gálvez por haberme recibido en su programa de esta mañana de La Agenda Radio DC! La elección es el 17 de junio, pero ya pueden empezar a votar desde ahora! www.youtube.com/live/YT4cGJd...

We only have two statewide primaries this cycle. Voters deserve more info. Why wouldn't @vademocrats.bsky.social sponsor a TV debate as in the past? What's different? Join me @levarstoney.bsky.social, Dr. Lateef, @alexbastaniva.bsky.social, & @senatorhashmi.bsky.social in support of a 2nd TV debate.

Integrity in government is non-negotiable. @senatorhashmi.bsky.social and @aaronrouse.bsky.social should know better regarding the Casino in Tyson's Corner. We need campaign finance reform so that well-meaning officials don't lose their way in pursuit of campaign financing for higher office.

Excellent turnout earlier today at @cvilledems.bsky.social! Thank you for giving me a chance to present myself and the reasons for which I am running to serve you as Lieutenant Governor (and for playing a small part in figuring out the complexities of rank-choice voting)!

A truly memorable evening by @fairfaxdems.bsky.social, with a heartfelt tribute to the one and only @connolly.house.gov, an inspiring speech by @markwarner.bsky.social, and a powerful call to action by @kenmartin.bsky.social. We are stepping up, and will take our country back One Election at a Time.

A great honor to present the trophy at such a vibrant and talent-fueled tournament final hosted by Annandale City FC. Todo un honor presentar el trofeo en una final tan vibrante y llena de talento. Muchas gracias por el honor!

Muchas gracias a Oscar Contreras y a Radio Poder 1030 por entrevistarme ayer. La entrevista completa la pueden ver y escuchar en el perfil de Facebook de Radio Poder 1030.

Orange County VA Dem Committee is truly a special place with an unparalleled commitment to activism and participatory democracy. Thank you Cynthia Arnold and John Rhett for inviting me over!

Great time this morning with Rappahanock Dems at such an historic site. Thank you for inviting me and for your warm welcome!

Packed house at Virginia Beach Dems meeting - charged and ready to go! Thank you DPVA Chair Bagby for the informative update and the warm one-on-one post-event. From Hampton Roads to Roanoke to Richmond to Northern Virginia and beyond, let's get our country back, one election at a time.

Let's talk about campaign finance laws in Virginia. We need to change them, quickly, and doing so will be my top priority on day ONE as your next Lt. Gov. Thank you to The Virginia-Pilot and Daily Press for publishing my op-ed yesterday.

As I argue in tomorrow's editions of Virginia-Pilot and Daily Press, Virginia needs campaign finance reform. This will be my top priority as Lt. Gov, in addition to pushing back on Washington overreach, and I am uniquely qualified and committed to doing both. www.pilotonline.com/2025/05/01/c...

Such an energized Saturday morning with @fairfaxdems.bsky.social in Braddock. Northern Virginia is fired up to make a stand this November. Let's get to work!

It's been a few dark weeks, but last week we saw glimmers of light, flashes of hope. We have lots of work to do Virginia. Let's #StepUp together and take our country back one election at a time. Thank you @wofava.bsky.social for inviting me to your powerful and inspiring meeting today.

Insightful discussion with @springfielddems.bsky.social about the state of our country and our need to win elections across the board this November. Thank you for having me Springfield Dems!
