92,987 peopleβ€”11.85% of #VA11 β€” rely on Medicaid/FAMIS.

That includes children, seniors, and working-class families.

The β€œBig Bullshit Bill” puts every one of them at risk of losing coverageβ€”just to hand millionaires another tax break.

People don’t want more endorsements from the establishment. This election barely has legs and elected Dems are essentially trying to anoint who they want.

Thats not democracy. It’s part of the problem.

Today, I was proud to stand at the steps of the Supreme Court and protest for the right of Birthright Citizenship. Just inside the doors, the first arguments in the case about this right had begun, and we made sure they could hear us.

Now that that’s out of the way…

#Virginia and #FairfaxCounty need real change, not status-quo promotions from insider politics. Facing Trump and MAGA Republicans is a moment of true urgency. No one needs training in standing up to bullies and autocrats.

We need leaders who are ready to take risks, not just wait their turn. Congress needs more spine β€” not more career moves.

With respect for the work he’s done locally, let’s be honest β€” he wouldn’t be running if the seat hadn’t opened up. This β€œfive-alarm fire” isn’t the moment for business-as-usual promotions.

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to all educators across the country!

You deserve more than thanks β€” you deserve fair pay, safe classrooms, mental health support, and respect for the life-changing work you do every day.

Paying undocumented immigrants $1,000 to leave the country isn’t policyβ€”it’s a bribe rooted in cruelty.

This is America. We should offer dignity and opportunity, not cash for deportation.

@vademocrats.bsky.social are ready to meet the moment this November β€” and again in 2026. And as someone who calls Northern Virginia home, I’m speaking up because we all have a stake in what comes next.

I’m proud to stand with them

No more β€œnice guy” Democrats need to be in the chambers; we need leaders who will meet Republicans on the mat, on the frontlines of the inevitable impeachment and removal of this administration.

This MAGA β€œloyalty over labor” ideology is a virus to NoVA’s economic independence. We need leadership that’s not afraid to fight back β€” especially when we take Congress back.

The Trump administration’s dismantling of the federal government directly threatens the backbone of our Northern Virginia community β€” and the VA GOP, Governor Youngkin, and their allies are still falling in line. 🧡

Also, obviously, Virginia isn't ready (or in Youngkin's case, WILLING) to carry out the crucial functions the Education Department is responsible for, from student loans to civil rights enforcement, Pell Grants, special education, etc bluevirginia.us/2025/03/virg... h/t @teevirus

The People are out in the streets, with signs and slogans, demanding the out-of-control dismantling of the federal government to be halted.

Elected officials must be willing to do what it takes to protect them.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Youngkin, like the rest of the Virginia GOP, is just another”yes” man for the administration. Virginians will respond to it this November and the next πŸ—³οΈ

This is why members like Jen Kiggans need to be replaced. The midterms can’t come soon enough.

This is what progress and leadership looks like. Governor Youngkin could go for some lessons.

If/when elected governor, @spanbergerforva.bsky.social will sign this into law. In stark contrast, Winsome Sears would definitely veto it. That makes everyone's choice in November pretty easy... bluevirginia.us/2025/02/tues...

As President Biden gives his farewell address tonight, New Dems wanted to reflect on some of the major accomplishments from the last four years.

From creating millions of jobs, to helping working families afford childcare, to investing in our nation's infrastructure–thank you, Mr. President.
