President Trump's economic policies are already beginning to be devastating for Hampton Roads.

Virginians deserve economic policies that will create stability and growth, not ones that threaten people’s financial well-being.

Economist says Trump polices will impact the Hampton Roads economy though details unclear
Hampton Roads has the third-largest federally workforce in the U.S., only behind Washington and New York. Downsizing the federal workforce, therefore, poses immense ramifications for the region.

Far too many people are working 40+ hours a week with no health insurance and still can’t make rent.

Grocery prices are up, wages are stuck, and taxes and tariffs are weighing us down more than ever.

That’s not freedom - that's failure.

I’m running to change that. Join me:

Thank you. I’d add in the years 2019/20 something else happened, or failed to happen.

Trump and Miller were both in office yet did *nothing* to prosecute Garcia as a gang member. They could’ve charged him with federal crimes if it was true he was MS13 in 2019. But he wasn’t, so they didn’t.
Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong.

I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the United States, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of *how* the justices are going to rule.

But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same *urgency* that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.

The VP is lying about a building trades union member who:

-a judge ordered not to be removed
-never committed a crime in 14 years
-has a 5 year old
-is now trapped in a Salvadoran prison no one gets out of.

Catholics, union members, believers in the Constitution, take note.
Vice-President JD Vance responds to @jonfavs.bsky.social and lies.

He says that the man, according to court documents, is a convicted gang member.

That is false.

An informant claimed he was a gang member, that’s not a conviction.

How MAGA populism works.

-Create an issue that didn’t exist.
-Use lies, fear and hate to stir up an angry mob.
-“Fix” the issue while ignoring real problems.
-Repeat.

All three trade disputes ended with market volatility and higher prices- while achieving nothing.

They shamelessly used achievements of the previous admin as political cover.

These “wins” already happened under the previous administration.

Epic level of lying by the Trump Admin and the Media.

At Aldi- eggs are more expensive than they were 2 months ago.

Maybe there wasn’t a magical solution that could be enacted overnight!?

Like, is it possible a nationwide bird flu could be influencing this shortage/ price spike?

Like, oversimplifying issues doesnt actually solve them!????

52 years ago today, SCOTUS ruled in Roe v. Wade that women had the right to make their own reproductive healthcare choices.

In 2022, the Dobbs decision took that right away.

As the next Governor of Virginia, I will always protect Virginians' fundamental freedoms.
