My dad was a federal law enforcement officer and my mom is a nurse. They’ve modeled the value of service every day.

It’s why service has guided my entire career — as a federal agent, as a CIA case officer, as a Member of Congress, and now as I run to be Virginia’s next Governor.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Organizers said some 2,600 protests were planned in the U.S. on Saturday. The protests were largely peaceful, as demonstrators united in their stated aim to safeguard the country's democratic values.

Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

American farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worse

Republicans are so desperate to cut health care access for Americans to pay for their billionaire tax cuts that they’re willing to keep the government shut down.

Trump has bragged for years about his dealmaking capabilities. Democrats are ready to negotiate a bipartisan deal to fund the government.

It’s inevitable that at some point, people get sick or injured. What isn’t inevitable is the sick and injured being unable to afford needed treatments. That’s a policy choice. I’m fighting to keep health care costs from surging, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

Trump has pardoned pedophiles, cop-beaters, woman-beaters and George Santos. That doesn’t include the pardons he sold.

But tell me more about how we need the military to stop crime.
