It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

After reading Tim Kaine’s email today. I think it is important that we in VA06 call Ben Cline daily. The kid that answers (on the first ring usually) is polite and respectful. Maybe we can convince him to join the resistance… 😉 Ben Cline’s number is: (202) 225-5431

This former US Atty supports the courage of Danielle Sassoon, the acting US Atty in SDNY, who put service ahead of self & refused to let politics interfere with prosecutions. True American hero. Thank you for your service, Danielle. You are the best of us. Who's with me?

Affordable child care is essential for a thriving economy – it removes barriers for parents entering the workforce and makes life easier for families. I just announced new grants that will create 1,400 new child care slots across the state.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

This is terrible. The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house. Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.
