Republicans across the country have denounced Trump’s racist post about the Obamas. Why haven’t Va Republicans done the same yet?
Read my full statement calling on Va General Assembly Republicans to denounce this garbage. conta.cc/3MhOots
“[Trump] has put us in a position where we have to do everything in our power to level the playing field.” Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates @donscott757.bsky.social on the new measure his state passed that could redraw congressional maps ahead of the midterm elections.
Under Trump, the job market is tanking. Republicans are focused on tax cuts for billionaires while shutting down the government and ripping healthcare away from millions. Virginia Republicans don't want to talk about the economy, job losses or the Trump shutdown at all.
"The money would pay for additional registered and licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants who care directly for nursing home residents.”
Virginia Republicans would rather get sued by nursing homes than give seniors the care they need.

Happy Labor Day! Workers are the backbone of Virginia, and House Democrats will always stand with them — fighting for fair wages, paid leave, and the dignity every worker has earned.
Republicans are working to raise prices on hardworking Virginians. They are too terrified to defy Trump kowtowing for his endorsement even as he destroys Virginia's economy and drives up the cost of healthcare and housing.
I'm honored to receive the Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Soaring Eagle Award from American Association for Justice. Thank you so much, trial lawyers!
I became a lawyer to fight for folks who’ve been overlooked and underestimated.
At the behest of Va Republican leadership, the federal government is trying to ruin Virginia's top ranked education system. Republicans are cheering on the destruction of Va's economy and our higher education system. CNBC ranked Virginia #1 in education this week.

"Republicans are in denial about what Trump is doing to Virginia's economy.”
Federal cuts claim new victim: Virginia’s status as top state for business

We’ve dropped from the top spot for business because Trump tanked our economy and Va Republicans just let it happen.
Their only policy is fealty to Trump – even if that means Virginians lose their jobs, families suffer, and our economy takes the hit.

On the campus of UVA now and a sign of hope appears. Hang in there everyone, the best is still ahead!
This is the greatest country in the world. And on July 4th, 1776, it made a promise to be a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. Our journey to "a more perfect Union" continues.
Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸
If you love UVA and our excellent institutions of higher education the time is now to get involved! First it's UVA, but now all of our institutions are at risk!
It's more important than ever that we elect @abigailspanberger.com and the entire Democratic ticket. We have to keep the House of Delegates because Republicans in Virginia, just like in Congress, have bowed down to Trump.
I’m grateful to President Ryan for his leadership at UVA. He led an award winning University to raise $6 billion. The school is ranked #4 in the country, but MAGA took him out and Republicans in Virginia are cheering Trump on.
We flipped the House in 2023. Now we’re going to expand our majority.
Great to be with so many fired-up Democrats at the Blue Commonwealth Gala.
We’ve got the momentum. We’ve got the message. We’ve got the candidates— it’s general election time!
Happy Juneteenth! Today is a celebration of freedom — hard fought, long delayed, and still unfinished!
We honor our ancestors who came before us. We fight for those still waiting on justice. And we keep the faith that better days will come!
There is no higher honor than raising your right hand to serve this country and no greater sacrifice than laying down your life in its defense. On Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom, our safety, and our future.
It’s rare to find someone as committed to service as Congressman Gerry Connolly, and even rarer to see such a lasting impact. Mellanda and I are deeply saddened by his passing and send our heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be truly missed by all that knew him.
Now, the Governor (lame duck) is doing the same thing here in Virginia that Republicans are doing in Washington, DC-ignoring the law, shutting down nursing homes in rural communities and denying needed medications funded by Medicaid.

Proud to announce I've been elected to serve on the @thedlcc.bsky.social’s Board of Directors! @thedlcc.bsky.social has long been a strategic partner to Virginia Dems, and I’m excited to strengthen that relationship as we fight to defend and expand our majority in the House this year!
Big win for moms across the Commonwealth! 12 MOMnibus bills have been passed and signed into law—bills that will tackle the maternal health crisis and save lives. Proud to be part of this progress.
Trump's economy. Trump's tariffs. Trump's failure.
I'm very grateful to Congressman @connolly.house.gov for his service and praying for his full and speedy recovery. I’m grateful for his leadership and unwavering commitment to the people of Virginia and our nation.
It started with the intimidation of law firms. Now, they want to intimidate judges. This is just the beginning of the agenda to undermine our freedoms. Everyone must stand against this lawlessness.
Pope Francis showed us what it means to lead with service, humility, and love for others. He reminded us to lean on our better angels, care for the vulnerable, and keep the faith. A life full of compassion and empathy. The people’s pope.
Happy Easter! I'm grateful for this day of renewal and the celebration of Christ's triumph over death and a reminder of the power of
God in our lives to resurrect any situation.
During Black Maternal Health Week, I’m proud to reaffirm my commitment to tackling this crisis head on and making sure every mother and child has access to the care, dignity, and support they deserve.
Proud of what we got done this session—focused on putting Virginians first and making life more affordable. We took on the rising costs of housing, child care, health care, and more. Real progress, real relief.
Wishing everyone a joyful Passover filled with peace and hope!
