apnews.com/article/abor...  Trump has said abortion is a state issue. His judicial picks could shape it nationally (IN A HORRIBLE WAY) for decades.

RAJU: I was just curious if you support Trump's purge of the federal workforce WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: I've given you a clear answer but you don't want to hear it R: So do you support it? Yes or no? ES: Oh. Ok. If this is the way you want to go, then go ahead, but I'm just not going to participate

Housing costs in Virginia are on the rise — but we can do something about it. Here’s my plan to lower housing costs as Virginia’s next Governor:

Earle-Sears wants a campaign do-over. But we’ve got receipts. 🧾 She called abortion “genocide.” Compared sex to signing a pregnancy contract. @ppava.bsky.social will make sure voters remember every word. theguardian.com/us-news/2025... @susanrinkunas.com @theguardian.com

In an exclusive Op-Ed for the Dogwood, @jlockva.bsky.social, the Executive Director of @ppava.bsky.social, announces the organization's endorsement of Democrat @abigailspanberger.com for governor.

🔥 It’s on! We’re backing @abigailspanberger.com to defend abortion access and reproductive freedom in VA. Let’s win this! 💪💗

“Defunding Planned Parenthood really means blocking people that rely on Medicaid from accessing critical preventative services.” Gift article 🎁: www.pilotonline.com/2025/05/20/p... @ppava.bsky.social @ppact.org

Let's be clear: "Defunding" Planned Parenthood hits everybody's pockets. It wouldn’t save money, and blocking people from getting care at health centers means fewer services, higher costs, and a greater burden on our health care system. @ppava.bsky.social

I watched this live and went “wait a minute!” 😬

LOL at the “Purple Caucus” trying to rebrand after a session where VA Republicans opposed the right to contraception and unanimously voted against reproductive freedom. Purple-washing won’t erase the record. 🔗 virginiamercury.com/2025/04/14/r... @donscott757.bsky.social @kathykltran.bsky.social

Over 400 people turned out for the “Where’s Jen Kiggans” Town Hall in Virginia Beach! 🎤🕵️ @ppava.bsky.social @seiu.org

Everyone gets to be a Senate Whip today But seriously we still don’t know what will happen Final cloture vote will be soon this afternoon 3 Dems so far are going to be Yes 8 have not announced Stay tuned If you are on the phone line, stay on the phone line

This is a bad bill and every Senator should vote NO! bsky.app/profile/beye...

I'm looking forward to celebrating Lily Franklin's campaign for delegate tomorrow! Join me: secure.actblue.com/donate/frank...

The Access to Reproductive Care for Servicemembers Act would expand reproductive access for military members and their families. Currently, even those that serve aren't exempt from abortion bans. Thank you to @pppswhealth.bsky.social for speaking with us. youtube.com/shorts/mMhK2...

So proud to see my Delegate @adelemcclure.bsky.social's batting average from VPAP! She passed 12 of the 14 bills she introduced! www.vpap.org/visuals/visu...

LOL at Delegate Mark Earley saying this in his latest email blast: "They know I'm a clear, effective voice for our shared priorities - so they want me gone." He literally had a ZERO percent success rate this session.

My heart breaks for so many Virginia families. Just saw this GoFundMe for a single Northern VA mom who just lost her job and has a baby coming soon. www.gofundme.com/f/help-jenn-...

🚨 South Carolina lawmakers have introduced a TOTAL abortion ban with no exceptions, which also aims to criminalize traveling out of state for abortion care. Contact your elected official and demand they VOTE NO on this dangerous bill: bit.ly/SCTotalBan

Thank you Sen Lucas, Del. Torian, @vasenatedems.bsky.social & VA House Dems for restoring language on abortion services within the budget and stopping Gov Youngkin's cruel attempt to strip low-income Virginians of needed health care access. budget.lis.virginia.gov/amendment/20... @ppava.bsky.social

Virginia moves to protect reproductive and voting rights, but the fight is far from over virginiamercury.com/2025/02/13/v... @ppava.bsky.social @delciaprice85.bsky.social

I just achieved inbox zero on my work email! (Yes, I snoozed some emails for later)

Congratulations, Senator Jennifer Boysko on House passage of SJ247! @ppava.bsky.social

Did you know Del. Mark Earley wanted to bring this anti-abortion propaganda to VA? www.argusleader.com/story/news/p... Thankfully @lesliemehta.bsky.social is running against him! @ppava.bsky.social

"For some data scientists, these statistics also suggest a troubling trend: the potential politicization of vital statistics." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

In today's RTD by VA House Dems Leader Charniele Herring: richmond.com/opinion/colu... "Virginians have long demanded that their reproductive freedom be safeguarded, and today we are closer than ever to turning that demand into lasting protection." @ppava.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social

They not like us 🚨 Reminder: CPCs don’t actually provide most kinds of health care, and the information they give isn’t always accurate or trustworthy. Their goal is to spread misinformation and propaganda.

I wish VA General Assembly met in warmer months, but I love that they're in session for most of Black History Month! Just watched @jcole4va.bsky.social break down how redlining blocked communities of color from homeownership & wealth, leaving lasting disparities in housing, education, & opportunity.

The Senate version of Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment (SJ247) advanced out of the VA House Privileges & Elections Committee this morning! Congratulations Sen Boysko and thank you @delciaprice85.bsky.social for a super efficient committee meeting! @ppava.bsky.social

ah trump’s merit in action. only certain people can be meritorious

I didn’t know what the larger piece was and just answered a question (entirely on record, below) but my two cents is it’s very, very good that people are calling, regardless of party. We badly need people paying attention and fired up. We are all taking those calls and imo they are damn important

Grateful to see both VA House & Senate budgets restore funding for abortions for low-income Virginians with a severe fetal diagnosis. @ppava.bsky.social

We did it y'all! 🥳 HJ1, Right to Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment passed the full VA General Assembly! Congratulations Leader Herring and everyone who has been working for years to make this a reality! So proud of the advocacy of @ppava.bsky.social & Virginians for Reproductive Freedom!

Federal employees are being told to drop pronouns, but they’re about clarity, in addition to identity. When I worked on Capitol Hill & a national security nonprofit, people assumed I was a man based on my name & work. A simple pronoun in email signature could’ve saved a lot of awkward intros.

Today the House of Delegates passed @delciaprice85.bsky.social's Right to Contraception! Notable no votes: HD-71 Batten HD-86 Cordoza HD-73 Earley HD-89 Ennis HD-30 Higgins HD-22 Lovejoy HD-64 Milde HD-41 Obenshain HD-66 Orrock lis.virginia.gov/vote-details... @ppava.bsky.social

I turned on Senate Education and Health this morning in time to watch multiple discriminatory bills be PBI'd (defeated). Thank you @vasenatedems.bsky.social for not allowing anti-trans bills to advance. TY to Equality Virginia, ACLU VA and others for your advocacy! @ppava.bsky.social

Today should mark 52 years of Roe v. Wade. Instead, we mourn its loss and the health care crisis in states with abortion bans— denied care, rising maternal deaths, and preventable tragedies. Virginia must enshrine reproductive freedom to protect our future. @ppava.bsky.social

Due to water outages in Richmond, the House will gavel in tomorrow at 12 PM to start the 2025 session, then recess until Jan. 13. We’re working with officials to help restore service ASAP. Read my full statement below:

🎉 Big wins for reproductive freedom! Congrats to Senator-elect Kannan Srinivasan and Delegate-elect JJ Singh on their victories! These wins bring us closer to securing the Reproductive Freedom Amendment on the 2026 ballot. 💕 I'm so proud of the @ppava.bsky.social team for their work!

Who wants to knock on doors this Saturday with @ppava.bsky.social & me to support Del. Kannan Srinivasan for Senate and JJ Singh for Delegate? ✊🚪💙 www.weareplannedparenthoodaction.org/a/get-out-vo...

Anyone else find it weird that Congressman-elect John McGuire calls Luther Cifers III a “young man?” I guess compared to his idol Donald J. Trump?
