Happy New Year, Virginia! Wishing everyone a safe and joyful celebration tonight, and a happy and healthy year to come!

To all those celebrating, I wish you and your family joy, togetherness, and love this season. Merry Christmas.

More funding for localities is not the way to help people who are struggling to afford housing. We need everyone at the table to address this crisis. cardinalnews.org/2025/12/18/r...

Please join me this Saturday for a Senate District 37 Town Hall event in Vienna. This is my opportunity to hear from you about the policies impacting your day to day life and how Virginia can do more to help. I hope to see you there!

The Firehouse Primary for HD11 in Fairfax is TOMORROW! I endorsed Gretchen Bulova and hope you will consider her with your vote. View the candidate forum here: bluevirginia.us/2025/12/vide...

The attack on Dar Al Nur Community Center in Virginia, where Muslim women were harassed as they left prayer, is not an isolated incident. We must treat attacks on mosques as hate crimes and stand with our neighbors to ensure every house of worship is safe. www.fox5dc.com/news/virgini...

Beginning Hanukkah in the aftermath of the violence in Australia, we are reminded more than ever of the endurance and resiliency of the human spirit in the face of persecution. Wishing you and your family a safe, joyful, and blessed Hanukkah celebration this year.

I am heartbroken by last night's shooting at Brown. America's young people are tired of doing safety drills while politicians fail to stop the rise of gun violence. We must do more to keep weapons of war out of our communities. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Congratulations to Del. David Bulova, the next Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources in the Spanberger Admin. virginiamercury.com/2025/12/11/v...

I endorse @markwarnerva.bsky.social for reelection for his tireless work protecting Virginians, fighting the Trump administration, and addressing our housing & affordability crisis. His leadership has helped build a strong Virginia, and I look forward to working with him in the coming years.

Wishing you and your family a safe, joyful, and blessed Thanksgiving. Grateful for the privilege of serving you.

I am disappointed the SCC decided to allow CERC to move forward, but pleased they created a new customer class for data centers, demonstrating that they will act to ensure Virginians don't subsidize the power bills of major corporations. virginiabusiness.com/virginia-scc...

Great to see so many folks out to support Rachna Sizemore Heizer this morning! Rachna has the experience and the vision to get things done for Fairfax County families. Braddock District voters vote early by December 6 or on December 9! www.electrachna.com @vaasiandemocrats.bsky.social

Big win for the thousands of Virginians commuting to work in DC every day. Bigger win for the integrity of our military. In America we swear oaths to the Constitution and the law, and the law is clear: Trump's occupation of American cities is illegal. apnews.com/article/nati...

Thanks everyone who participated in the JCOTS Blockchain Advisory Committee. As chair I enjoyed working with a group that brought legislators together with citizen members to give them a voice and a vote on what legislation the GA should consider in 2026. #valeg @lashrecseaird.bsky.social

$300K to buy a home in Northern Virginia isn’t a market trend, it’s a crisis. When working families are priced out, we’re failing. Virginia needs more housing, more supply, more affordability. Housing must be accessible, not an exclusive club.

The Supreme Court was right to decline to hear the Youngkin admin's political arguments defending their failed power grab. The Youngkin/Earle-Sears/Miyares legacy continues to grow. t.co/dmxGMm6Pam

I'm planning to introduce a bill soon that would probably make this illegal in Virginia. Seeing other lawmakers racing to take advantage of new technology in clearly immoral ways is beyond politics and should be condemned. Mike Collins should apologize.

Starbucks made millions while workers struggled. Every worker deserves a living wage. Respect the picket line. Solidarity now and always. #UnionStrong #StandWithWorkers

GMU President Gregory Washington stood tall against this illegal Trump/Youngkin pressure campaign - and because they couldn't fire him, they're rumored to be planning a criminal indictment. Thank you @abigailspanberger.com for recognizing the urgency and standing up for our schools.

Virginia is now the first state in the continental US to have Mobile ID! Accepted at the DMV, by law enforcement, for voting, and at select Virginia ABC stores, offering Virginians a modern way to verify their identity using their smartphone. Learn more at dmv.virginia.gov/mobileID

At Freedom Hill Elementary and Fairfax HS last week, I enjoyed listening to our teachers and our students. Providing a quality education for every young person in Virginia is our greatest responsibility, and SD37 schools lead the way! @hollyseiboldva.bsky.social @karlfrisch.bsky.social

Five days ago, voters came out and voted Democratic at historic levels because they're opposed to Trump's demolition of the federal government and his militarization of our streets. Voting for a budget that funds these things and not healthcare should be a non-starter. www.cnn.com/2025/11/09/p...

During every shutdown, SNAP has always been funded. This is a cruel and completely unnecessary move that directly impacts hungry American families. Food should not be a political weapon, yet here we are.

Asian voters in VA shifted big in 2025, small business owners, federal workers, and families all pushing for an affordable future. Thank you @vaasiandemocrats.bsky.social, VAAPIC, @saforamerica.bsky.social & countless AAPI leaders across the Commonwealth for your dedication to building coalitions.

Progressive politics requires a generational change. Thank you Nancy Pelosi. Your historic career is a testament to your dedication to democracy. This is one of many first steps to ensuring new leaders can fight for the future we deserve.

Congratulations @abigailspanberger.com @senatorhashmi.bsky.social and @jonesjay.bsky.social !

Great crowd in Falls Church for @abigailspanberger.com @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov ! Our region can't afford another four years with Trump allies for Governor, LG and AG.

Virginia voters to Glenn Youngkin and his whole administration on Tuesday: media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2l...

Combo of pathetic (the small crowd) and repulsive (virulent Islamophobia for one thing) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/live... h/t @margaretbarthel

...but not Virginia, because our Attorney General Jason Miyares would rather help Trump than Virginians. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

Trump said shutting down the government is an opportunity to cut "Democrat programs that we want to close up or we never wanted to happen." A good businessman would know we can't afford to self-fund federal programs for very long - but a good businessman wouldn't work for Trump.

In the 2019 shutdown, USDA paid states early so families receiving SNAP wouldn't go hungry. Now, Trump's got money to demolish the White House and send the National Guard after construction workers and grad students, but not to feed hungry children. www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

Former Virginia Republican Elected Officials (@BarbaraComstock @DavidIRamadan) Endorse @SenatorHashmi for Lieutenant Governor; "Her strong respect for democracy and the rule of law are essential" bluevirginia.us/2025/10/form...

Wishing you a Diwali filled with brightness, love, and happiness. Happy Diwali!

No Kings Day Oct 18th with @marcussimon.com @lettyhardi.bsky.social and so many friends and neighbors standing up for American democracy!

In this case, a victim of domestic abuse and the law were on one side, Republican opposition to marijuana legalization was on the other, and Jason Miyares chose to put his politics first. Expect more of the same if he wins: an AG that prioritizes politics over justice.

Today we celebrate the rich heritage of the Tribal Nations of Virginia. Let us continue to honor their history through respect, partnership, and action. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

The release of hostages between Israel and Gaza offers a moment of hope amid deep heartbreak. I was horrified by the Hamas attacks and the immense suffering that has followed for both Israelis and Palestinians. Every innocent life holds equal worth and deserves equal protection.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for her work to transition Venezuela from dictatorship to democracy. Let's not pretend Trump came in second for his work transitioning from democracy to dictatorship. www.foxnews.com/politics/nob...

My statement together with Muslim leaders from across the Commonwealth in response to John Reid's pattern of Islamophobic statements.

Every time a Muslim runs for office, certain voices question their loyalties or suggest hidden agendas , the same old dog whistles pop up like “religious connection.” These aren’t real concerns, just coded attempts to stoke suspicion and distract from real issues.

October is POTS Awareness Month in Virginia. POTS disproportionately impacts women, especially women of color. Take a moment to learn about the signs and symptoms of this illness, and the stories of those who are struggling with it every day. #VAPOTSAwareness #VAPOTS

Congratulations to Rachna Sizemore Heizer, the Democratic Nominee for Braddock District Supervisor. Ilryong, Sabrina and April ran honorable campaigns, and I thank them for stepping up for our community.

I carried SB1400 in the 2025 VA General Assembly to ban algorithmic rent-setting tools that use nonpublic competitor data, tools like the ones now at the heart of the Greystar/RealPage settlement. Tenants deserve fairness in the marketplace. finance.yahoo.com/news/greysta...

Donald Trump once said a government shutdown is a failure of the president, a sign of poor leadership. This will be his fourth. The last one was the longest in US history. Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House, and they still can't pass a budget.

Trump’s interference in Virginia’s federal courts is unprecedented and wrong. If they don’t impeach, this Congress has abandoned the checks and balances theory of democracy. And they wonder why they’re called authoritarians. t.co/2ypDyomeRP

One of Trump's defense lawyers is now top federal prosecutor for the eastern half of Virginia with orders to go after his political opponents. We need to elect @jonesjay.bsky.social VA Attorney General to stand against Trump's cronyism taking over our courts. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For the folks at home, in February a judge ruled it was “factually true” that this man is “a violent thug, a liar and a sexual predator.” Welcoming his endorsement raises questions about the morality of John Reid's campaign.

To all my constituents who celebrate, wishing you a sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah! #roshhashanah2025
