Trump’s defiance of the Supreme Court threatens all of our rights. I will continue to press for Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release.

It’s our responsibility to make sure our veterans get the care they need. I’ve been sounding the alarm about how Trump and Elon’s hiring freeze at the VA and plans to cut tens of thousands of VA jobs—many of which are held by veterans—are a huge mistake. www.pilotonline.com/2025/04/08/e...

Virginia’s workers are the backbone of our economy. They deserve leaders who will put their priorities first and treat them with respect. I was proud to join @vademocrats.bsky.social, workers, and labor leaders today to make clear that as Governor, I’ll always have workers’ backs.

Social security is a lifeline for seniors, disabled people, and millions of other Americans. Inability to access these services isn’t just annoying, it can be life-threatening. We must focus on strengthening the Social Security Admin, not dismantling it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Governor Youngkin gutted & refused to sign the Right to Contraception Act. It’s shameful. Virginians should be able to choose when they start & grow their family. They deserve leaders who will defend their reproductive freedoms, not pretend that threats to contraception & birth control aren’t real.

Warner: "Suddenly, & for no reason I can understand, the US is starting to act like our adversaries are our friends. Voting in the UN with Russia, Belarus, and North Korea - that's a rogues gallery if I've ever heard one. Treating our allies like adversaries. Threats to take over Greenland ... "

Warner, with Gabbard and Ratcliffe sitting in front of him: "If this was the case of a military officer or an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they would be fired."

I’m proud my bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act has already delivered $292 million in overdue benefits to 46,000+ retired police officers, firefighters, & public servants in Virginia. As Governor, I'll always make sure Virginians can enjoy the retirement they’ve earned.

Trump’s NPS hiring freeze paves the way for a damaging loss of staff at national parks—threatening emergency response times, park safety, and local economies in Virginia. I’m urging the Trump Administration to reverse course and protect our parks.

Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes and call the CFPB “woke and weaponized.” The CFPB fights overdraft and junk fees, goes after lenders that target servicemembers with predatory loans, and has returned $20 billion to Americans. This is a giveaway to scammers & crooks.

More on Leon, Doge and reaction from Rep Jasmine Crockett - one of the few leaders in Washington worth paying attention to. Crockett is the new Vice-ranking member on the Oversight Committee and is 2nd to MTG on the Doge Oversight subcommittee. Get me the popcorn. 🍿 youtu.be/C7UNWXIUTq8?...

Yesterday on the first day of 2025, I signed a petition to get my name on the ballot for Governor of Virginia! I’m so excited to hit the road this year, listen to Virginians share their challenges and aspirations, and work hard to earn their support.

New York Times Editor’s note: “Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29, 2024. Roughly a year before he entered hospice care, he wrote his final New York Times Opinion essay. In it, he looked back on the Capitol riot and explained why he was so worried about American democracy.” www.nytimes.com/2022/01/05/o...

Read this. @sarannmcd.bsky.social is a medieval legal historian currently writing about sexual violence and trials in late medieval France. She decided she needed to go to Avignon to see Gisèle Pelicot, the crowds supporting her, and speaks openly with @rebeccaonion.bsky.social about the impact.
