All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen.

But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

For the next few Sundays @jonesjay.bsky.social Jay Jones needs to be in as many black churches as he can. That electorate's turnout is going to win or lose the election for him.

The Dems have to frame the AG contest as Jay Jones vs Trump/Miyares and not "Texts. Texts Texts!"

For the record, Youngkin/Earle-Sears inherited a Virginia economy with 2.7% unemployment in January 2022; today, it's up to 3.6% and rising...on their watch. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/sund...

Screenshot from Fox "News"' interview this morning with Winsome Earle-Sears, fact checking her lies about Virginia's unemployment rate (which has risen from 2.7% in January 2022 to 3.6% in August 2025)...

Spanberger and her week response is going to make them continue to attack. if Democrats just stand up and say "well I'm certainly not supporting Miyares and Trump" and play the whataboutism the game that Republicans have been playing since 2016. We'll win.

If you live in Virginia you must vote in this election and you must vote for the only ticket that will protect the rights of all Virginians - Spanberger, Hashmi and Jones.

Winsome Earle-Sears — that is, in fact, discrimination.

For the last decade the GOP regarding Trump has said some variation of "I don't like his rhetoric but I like his policy" and they now control all branches of government. Why is it so damned hard for Democrats to do this with Jay Jones?!

Good sir our republic ended the moment the punishment for Trump causing an actual insurrection was 77 million votes and a 2nd term. We're in the post-mortem, brother.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 3d

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

BREAKING: Trump Admin 'Seriously' Considering Using the Insurrection Act, Reports NBC

President Trump is "seriously" considering invoking the Insurrection Act in order to more easily deploy National Guard troops to major cities as part of crime crackdown, NBC reported on Wednesday

This is obviously terrible, but for every "This is horrific" post there's one that says "Thank you, Trump. This is what I voted for." The most important thing is to vote in EVERY election you can for people who oppose the MAGA regime.

Stopped by an early voting site in Eastern Henrico this afternoon alongside Senator Aird to chat with voters and thank our volunteers.

When we vote, we make our voices heard and shape Virginia’s future. Let’s do this!

Spot on. What's interesting now is Jones has had for a state AG probably an entire term's worth of publicity and may have the highest name ID on the ballot. How much will it be negative publicity hurt.....or help?

Jay Jones running for attorney general in Virginia has nothing to apologize for. He didn't say anything any worse than trump followers. They chanted hang Mike Pence on January 6th. Some of those people were pardoned by trump & are now working for him. I hope Jay Jones wins!

With partisanship the way that it is, it's a voter turnout game. Anyone who was going to vote Jones before is definitely not voting for Miyares. They may, however, just vote top of ticket. Jones is a black man facing a perceived double standard .He could EASILY amplify the black vote this cycle.
