Jay Jones, Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi, AND DEMOCRATS UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT ARE READY TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS DESTRUCTIVE AGENDA.)

The GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” would be the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.

On average, someone in the top 0.1% would gain around $390,000 next year.

But someone in the bottom 20% would lose $820, and nearly twice as much—$1,545—in 2033.

Right? 👇🏽🤢

Thankful for your leadership, @vanhollen.senate.gov. Marylanders are standing with you in your efforts to bring Kilmar home.

I joined @12onyourside.com to answer viewer questions about what’s happening in Washington. Pat from Mechanicsville asked what Congress is doing to protect retirees, Social Security and Medicare.

The fear and uncertainty among our constituents is real.

The Trump Administration and Elon Musk are trying to cut Social Security to fund tax cuts for billionaires. 

153,723 VA-04 residents receive monthly Social Security benefits. On today’s #SocialSecurityDayofAction, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are telling them to keep their hands off Social Security.

Great morning visiting the Appalachian Highlands Community Dental Center and hearing about their great work providing essential dentistry to Virginians.

Medicaid expansion has made so much possible across the Commonwealth, and I’m going to keep fighting to protect it.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday.

Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That's likely illegal President Donald Trump keeps talking about sending U.S. citizens who commit violent crimes to prison in El Salvador. But that's likely illegal.

Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador.
Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons.

This is not just unconstitutional—it’s unhinged.

Happy Thursday friends 👋

Well, of course, there was insider trading

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The stupid... it b-u-r-n-s...!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
