Virginia Attorney General Jason
MIYARES LOST THOUSANDS OF JOBS by doing nothing last time there were mass layoffs-RIFs of federal workers. Other states sued and won jobs back. He won’t defend us and our families against RIFs this time either.

VOTE JAY JONES - ATTORNEY GENERAL

The states that sued Trump’s govt got their probationary workers rehired - BUT NOT JASON MIYARES - he LOST every Virginia probationary FED JOB cut because he refused to join the multi-state law suit.
VOTE JAY JONES for Virginia unless you want to keep “do whatever Trump wants me to do” AG Miyares.

And as the Trump administration moved to lay off thousands more federal workers, remember that current Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares refused to join other states in a law suit against Trump’s govt last time this happened and thousands of Virginians lost their jobs

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

The GOP controls how many branches of the government? 1, 2, no three!

The GOP controls all 3 branches. They own this shutdown.

All so they can dismantle the ACA, strip care from millions, raise premiums, and continue transferring our wealth to billionaires while blaming Democrats for their failures and scapegoating immigrants who don't even get healthcare.

Stop invading our cities! There is no grave widespread emergency that warrants sending the National Guard into our cities. Leave us alone.
