Wherever I go, I meet Virginians who tell me they’re concerned about costs — from healthcare, to housing, to energy.

They want their next Governor to focus on affordability. That’s why lowering costs is my #1 priority.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social nails it: "Stalinism and Stephen Miller" (also note: the fact that Miller was likely to be very powerful in a second Trump administration was more than enough reason for every single American to vote for @KamalaHarris last November) bluevirginia.us/2025/10/wedn...

Beat the crowds and vote early in person! You’ll avoid lines, vote at your convenience, and ensure your voice is heard. Check out Virginia's early voting options and locations now! www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba...

Explanation of early voting. Generally refers to casting a ballot in person prior to Election Day.

A map that shows length of early voting periods. Most states have early voting periods of more than a week. New Hampshire, Alabama and Mississippi do not have early voting.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

The text of the law is clear. This is totally illegal.

This is another illegitimate attempt by Russ Vought to “traumatize” hardworking civil servants, which seems to be what gets him out of bed in the morning.
