Wow, Earle-Sears says it’s not discrimination to be fired for your sexual orientation. Spanberger will protect the rights of ALL Virginians. Vote early: elections.Virginia.gov.

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

@subletteweather.com is a Dem candidate running to replace worthless Rob Wittman in #VA01. If elected, Sean will bring a strong focus on climate issues to congress.

Huge thanks to @dcbradcarl.bsky.social for letting me know about the Climate DC meetup this week. It was a great day trip from RVA to talk energy policy and business with this fantastic group of people.

Sean talks with people at the Climate DC function in the Columbia Heights section of Washington.

Republican candidate for Attorney General, Jason Miyares, told police to not hesitate to shoot unarmed citizens if they feel angry, promising to protect the killers. Jay Jones and the Democratic ticket will protect us from this lawless regime.

Opinion | Virginia’s attorney general sends a dangerous message to police

The case of the young accountant, killed in an unwarranted shooting by U.S. Park Police in 2017, remains a study in law enforcement impunity.

Virginia workers know nobody is working harder for them. As lieutenant governor, I will continue my fight to increase wages, protect affordable health care, and create opportunities for all families to thrive.

Shocking video and clearly criminal. Why aren’t these thugs arrested? A pepper ball can be lethal and is never to be shot directly at a person.

When Republicans can’t get their way, they break the law. Johnson’s duty is to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 1d

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Let’s get to work for these great candidates. Contact you local Democrats and knock doors, write postcards, hand out literature, attend debates. We must get them in the state house to protect our constitutional rights and lower healthcare costs.

☑️ Mark Downey (69)
☑️ Shelly Simonds (70)
☑️Jessica Anderson (71)

Vote Blue on Nov. 4!

Vote early and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. They will work to increase access to affordable healthcare. Republican Sears doesn’t care.

Abigail Spanberger @abigailspanberger.com · 3d

Between Trump's tax law and the government shutdown, Virginians' rural hospitals are taking a massive hit — yet my opponent still refuses to stand up for Virginians' healthcare.

Virginians deserve better.

Ridiculous. The text was from a silly meme originating from the show The Office. A private joke. Jay Jones will uphold the constitution and protect the rights and freedoms of our citizens. Miyares will only protect Donald Trump. That’s not a joke.

Early voting is happening now! Find your polling place at Vote.Virginia.gov. Jay Jones as attorney general will uphold the constitution and defend our rights. Miyares will only defend Donald. Vote for Democrats up and down the ballot and save our democracy.

NEW CASE: We just sued DHS to stop the immigration raids on construction sites.

Our client, Leo García Venegas, has been arrested twice just for working in construction while Latino—despite being a US citizen with a Real ID.

Here’s a short video explaining the case:
