What is happening in Chicago, and other cities across the U.S., is unimaginably horrific—it will forever be a stain on American history.

Do your part to fight back against this by attending a protest this Saturday.

We need to show America—and the rest of the world—that we are done with this shit.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done?

Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔

In case you forgot, Winsome Earle-Sears failed to disclose seven gifted trips – totaling at least $15,000 – on her state ethics disclosure. When her campaign was asked about it, they said, “we’re still trying to figure it out.” Apparently they’re STILL trying to figure it out…

In this case, a victim of domestic abuse and the law were on one side, Republican opposition to marijuana legalization was on the other, and Jason Miyares chose to put his politics first. Expect more of the same if he wins: an AG that prioritizes politics over justice.

Senator Jennifer B. Boysko @jenniferboysko.com · 1d

Richmond Times-Dispatch published my OpEd calling out Virginia AG, Jason Miyares who claims to support domestic violence victims. In contrast, he does not protect them. Miyares talks a good game. Words are cheap. Look at his actions.
Virginians, choose your Attorney General wisely.

Commentary: When victims become criminals: AG's betrayal of Katie Orndoff

Current Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares regularly claims that he protects crime victims. But when Katie Orndoff — a domestic violence victim — needed him most, he failed her. Worse, he…

"Winsome Earle-Sears has avoided talking about most issues. Her silence on issues is unprecedented in modern Virginia history.” Ouch!

Spanberger answers questions about policy. Earle-Sears does not.

This fits a pattern where Earle-Sears has avoided taking about most issues. Her silence on issues is unprecedented in modern Virginia history.

A vote left vulnerable to Sears or Reid or Miyares is a vote for Trump— and his pal Putin. Voting is open🤸‍♀️ Vote the entire blue ticket. Leave nothing to fate! We can do this Virginia!! 🗳️ 🌊

US Constitution is still the Supreme Law.
The First Amendment is a part of the U.S. Bill of Rights that protects fundamental rights from government interference, including freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the government.
