My opponent thinks thousands of Virginians being fired from their jobs isn't a big deal. That's not leadership. Virginians deserve a Governor who will always stand up for Virginia jobs, no matter who is in the White House. youtube.com/shorts/fFh96...

In 2023, Virginia's 22 national parks, trails, and historic sites generated $1.5 billion in revenue. Now, Elon Musk and Donald Trump are firing the workers who protect and maintain the beauty and public safety at these cherished spots. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

My staff has received reports that because of the Trump Administration staff cuts, the National Park Service Maggie Walker Site can open only twice a week… during #BlackHistoryMonth. Today I joined Virginia Delegation members to call for the reversals of these cuts.

Sure, if we lived in a sane world with an informed (as opposed to badly misinformed) electorate and a semi-functional media. Also, we'll see if Virginia's Democratic voters are more fired up or depressed, demoralized, etc. by the fall. bluevirginia.us/2025/02/vide... h/t @daveweigel.bsky.social

The Army and Navy just deleted web pages honoring women’s military service—falling in line with Trump’s DEI purge. This isn’t about readiness. It’s about erasing the contributions of women who served and sacrificed for this country. Shameful. READ MORE: www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are not saying “no more lessons about Chesty Puller or Audie Murphy.” They're saying “no more lessons about the Tuskegee Airmen.” That is a deliberate choice — and it is a racist choice. youtu.be/Z2MuFHIy3mM?...

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”
