Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so.

She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide.

She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies.

Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie.

All of it.

New tariff just dropped.

Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.

Last week, the Trump admin froze $10B in critical child care funding. For child care providers and for working parents already struggling with the skyrocketing cost of living, this is a crisis. Read Pres. Lee Saunders' op-ed on how this impacts families and providers: www.afscme.org/blog/the-lat...

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
