I know that @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social will honor Gerry Connolly’s legacy and deliver real results for working families in Virginia’s 11th District — and we are so fortunate to now have him in Congress.

The most tragic of ironies that the least competent lawyers in our nation are systematically tearing apart one of the crown jewels of our democracy. Elections have consequences, but the dismantling of DOJ will take generations to repair.

No matter how many times you hear your kid sing the national anthem in public, you never get over the nerves, the anxiety, or the immense pride that comes with it as a parent.
Happy Fourth of July!

Congratulations to @senatorhashmi.bsky.social and @jonesjay.bsky.social as they join @abigailspanberger.com on the statewide slate. We have work to do in the coming months, but I trust that the vast majority of Virginians will conclude in November that the Dem slate is what's best for Virginia!

From now until November, we are going to work hard to earn Virginians’ trust — and their votes — in this election as one united Democratic ticket.

I've prosecuted acts of political violence. This rhetoric stimulates dark corners of troubled minds to commit awful, deadly acts. Cut it out @WinsomeSears, and I'd ask that you publicly disclaim these words tomorrow, so that they don't end up as a trial exhibit some day.

There was one act of violence yesterday in Virginia, and it wasn’t done by patriotic Americans exercising their First Am rights, whom you threatened with the NG. It was done by someone for whom your and Trump’s rhetoric created a permissive structure of political violence. #hack
What are you talking about, Gov. Youngkin? Absolutely no one is talking about violence. Do you have any evidence or intel suggesting otherwise? If so, show it; if you don't, stop using OUR governor's office (it doesn't belong to you) and service members to chill free speech.

Our country suffered two heinous acts of politically-motivated violence yesterday, one in Minnesota and the other in Virginia. I'll have more to say later based on how the facts shake out. For now, my deepest condolences to all the families. RIP Melissa, justice will be done.

VA AG Jason Miyares @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social, joined an amicus brief yesterday supporting Trump's federalization of CA's national guard. Today, a federal judge set both of them straight. This fight may come to Virginia, & we need a strong execs in VA who understand federalism to push back.
