White House: Shutdown layoffs are just days away So far, just one agency has pursued RIFs while others have largely followed normal shutdown procedures.

Thousands of federal jobs in Virginia are on the line because of Trump's dysfunction – and @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social is silent.

Virginians deserve leaders who will put our jobs and economy first, not bow to Trump’s chaos.

As Yom Kippur begins this evening, I’m wishing an easy fast and meaningful day to all Virginians in observance. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

Federal funding changes mean about 350,000 Virginians could lose health care coverage The state of health care in Virginia, especially in rural areas, is uncertain after changes in federal funding.

Protecting families’ access to healthcare should be a top priority of every Virginia leader.

But @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social is standing by Trump’s side as his legislation tears through our rural healthcare and guts coverage for 350,000 Virginians.

Shutdown hits hard in Virginia, home to 300,000 federal workers | CNN Politics The federal government shutdown — and the escalating battle over which party bears the most blame — has injected a major new question mark into the governor’s race in Virginia, home to hundreds of tho...

Virginia is home to 300,000 federal workers who are set to lose critical services they rely on – but time and again, @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social has abandoned our federal workforce and sided with Trump.

With today's federal shutdown, Donald Trump is threatening the well-being and financial security of Virginia families - and @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social has done nothing to stand up for us.

Read my full statement on the government shutdown.

As we meet folks across the Commonwealth, we’re hearing concerns about the same issues: rising costs of healthcare, groceries, housing, and attacks to abortion access.

No job is more important for Virginia’s Attorney General than ensuring the safety and well-being of our communities.

That’s why I have a comprehensive plan to combat violent crime, get illegal guns off our streets, and protect our kids.

No politician should come between a woman and her doctor.

When Virginians solidify the right to an abortion in our Constitution, I’ll use every tool in the OAG to defend it against federal attacks.

From the moment he became Attorney General, MAGA @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social fired staff and lawyers working on civil rights, opioids, human trafficking and election issues.

I’ll rebuild the OAG to lower grocery and housing prices and keep our communities safe from fentanyl and violent crime.

Central Virginia free clinics fear Medicaid cuts mean they'll be 'overrun with new patients' Central Virginia free clinic operators warned Sen. Tim Kaine last week that President Donald Trump's cuts to Medicaid could overwhelm their capacity.

Trump’s Medicaid cuts are already causing healthcare clinics to close and overwhelming others that provide care to Virginians who need it most.

Our AG should be fighting back against these cuts and delivering for rural Virginians, not enabling Trump.

I’ve blocked grocery price hikes. Fought utility overcharges. Raised pay for teachers and police.

I’ve always put working families first – and that’s exactly what I’ll continue to do as Attorney General.

Public safety isn’t partisan – it’s personal.

As Attorney General, I’ll work with local law enforcement, elected officials, and community leaders to keep all Virginians safe in their homes and across the Commonwealth.

Another great canvass launch in Chesapeake. Now more than ever, it’s critical that we flip seats – from the House of Delegates to the Office of the Attorney General – red to blue.

We’ll see you out there!

Families are feeling the squeeze, and rather than fight to lower costs, @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social is standing by Trump’s side.

As Attorney General, I’ll take on price gouging and fight harmful economic policies to lower costs.

The attacks on abortion rights won’t stop – and neither will we. I’ll fight every day to keep Virginia a safe haven for reproductive freedom.

When Republicans attack Medicaid, they aren’t just hurting the most vulnerable – they’re hurting our entire economy. Health care jobs disappear, hospitals close, and costs go up for everyone.

I’ll use the Attorney General's office to protect Virginia’s healthcare system and keep costs down.

Our kids are growing up online, and it’s past time we protect them.

I’ll hold tech companies accountable for exploiting children’s data and work with parents, teachers, and law enforcement to keep kids safe online.

Five! I truly can’t believe it. Happy anniversary, Mavis! You’re the heart and soul of this family and hold us together every single day. I couldn’t imagine traveling this road with anyone else by my side. I love you!

I love getting out across Virginia to hear directly from you about the issues that matter most. Together, we can work to build a stronger, fairer Commonwealth.

Roanoke gun violence efforts could be useful across Virginia, AG candidate says Jay Jones' visit to Roanoke began a busy week for state politicians campaigning in the Roanoke and New River valleys, on the first full week of in-person early voting.

We don’t have to accept gun violence as normal. I’ll fight for stronger laws, safer communities, and real accountability for those flooding our streets with illegal guns.

Throughout my career, I’ve stood up for Virginians – not corporations.

As Attorney General, I’ll continue that work, whether it’s fighting to lower utility bills, protecting renters, or cracking down on price-gouging.

As Attorney General, my duty will run though the people of Virginia – not Donald Trump. @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social can’t say the same.

We need an Attorney General who’s going to stand up and protect us – from federal overreach, skyrocketing costs, and attacks to our fundamental rights.

Virginia families deserve to feel safe in their neighborhoods. Community-driven programs show that when law enforcement and neighbors work together, we can prevent gun violence and save lives.

Wishing a sweet, happy, and healthy new year to all Virginians celebrating Rosh Hashanah. May this year bring our Commonwealth closer and strengthen our shared commitment to building a brighter future for all. L'Shanah Tovah!

Great to join Sheriff Hash, Chief Booth, and City Councilman Nash in Roanoke this morning to talk about gun violence prevention strategies like the RESET program.

As Attorney General, I’ll work with law enforcement leaders across the Commonwealth to make our communities safer.

Rural health clinics are starting to close, raising the political risks of Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ | CNN Politics Two months after President Donald Trump signed his policy megabill into law, a Virginia health care company cited it when it announced the closure of three rural clinics serving tiny communities aroun...

The Big Bill causing three rural clinics in Virginia to close is just the tip of the iceberg – and it’s happening because @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social is too scared to fight against Trump’s Medicaid cuts that will throw nearly 300,000 Virginians off their healthcare.

www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/p...

Today, I met with Roanoke city officials, law enforcement, and faith leaders to discuss their gun violence prevention efforts.

The partnerships these leaders are building are crucial to making a lasting difference for the safety of all Roanoke residents.

Medicaid is a lifeline for families across the Commonwealth, but extreme Republican cuts are risking health care for nearly 300,000 Virginians.

I’ll fight every day to protect Medicaid and keep healthcare affordable and accessible.

As a former union member, I know the power of collective action. I’ll always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with union workers fighting for dignity, respect, and fair treatment on the job.
