In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say: The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

While January lasted a full decade. February is moving at the speed of light and I’m feeling a little whiplash from the emotional roller coaster that the last two weeks have been. Orca energy please carry me ✨

So far at least, we're not really seeing Rs stand up to Trump. But yes, it's easier for Trump to illegally and unconstitutional bypass Congress. bluevirginia.us/2025/02/sund... h/t @atrupar.com

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Military families heckled Hegseth: “DEI!” Washington Post reported that about 55 military dependents walked out of school to protest. Apparently some parents joined them. Hegseth has banned Black History Month events in DoD schools attended by service members’ kids. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

"What I do have a problem with is an organization that’s returned over $20 billion to consumers...arbitrarily being shut down w/no warning. I mean what happens if it’s the FBI next?...This is not the way America ought to be governed." - Sen. @MarkWarner bluevirginia.us/2025/02/vide...

A dark day for public health—decades of progress undone in one reckless move. RFK Jr.’s rise means preventable diseases, unchecked quackery, and a future where Americans are sicker, poorer, and isolated. This too shall pass, but the suffering will linger far beyond our lifetimes. #DarkFuture

For all the recipients of NIH grants across Virginia. For all the kids who shouldn’t have to grow up contracting polio, measles, or mumps. For all the science-based progress we SHOULD be pursing to make Americans healthier. I am a NO on RFK Jr.

As we’ve been calling out for weeks, they had more than just “read access.” The Treasury has now revoked the editing access that was “mistakenly” given to a musk staffer.

Hey @meidastouch.com, we heard you’re helping to televise the revolution. Can we join forces to flip that old trope on its head? This is far beyond the red or blue… The criminals are in the White House. It’s time for justice to prevail ✊ Who’s in? www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2SKd1KC/

At the bare minimum, voters needed to have given Democrats control of at LEAST one house of Congress. But nooooo...who needs boring ol' checks-and-balances anyway? LOL bluevirginia.us/2025/02/wedn... h/t @kaine.senate.gov

NEW: I'm heading to the Senate floor where I'm going to lead Democrats in holding the floor ahead of RFK Jr.'s confirmation vote. This is the most dangerous and unqualified nominee for HHS I've seen in my lifetime and I'm not giving up without a fight.

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours. More massive #USprotests, ongoing. Sources here report, "Millions of people are getting ready as we speak to take this country back and save the USA. Their days are numbered. Stay tuned." #3E
