In this case, a victim of domestic abuse and the law were on one side, Republican opposition to marijuana legalization was on the other, and Jason Miyares chose to put his politics first. Expect more of the same if he wins: an AG that prioritizes politics over justice.

Today we celebrate the rich heritage of the Tribal Nations of Virginia. Let us continue to honor their history through respect, partnership, and action. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

This ceasefire must be more than a pause in violence, it must be the beginning of accountability, justice and lasting peace. There must be continued calls for sustained diplomacy, humanitarian access, and a future where security and dignity are shared by all people in the region.

The release of hostages between Israel and Gaza offers a moment of hope amid deep heartbreak. I was horrified by the Hamas attacks and the immense suffering that has followed for both Israelis and Palestinians. Every innocent life holds equal worth and deserves equal protection.

Nobel Peace Prize goes to Maria Corina Machado, despite calls for Trump to receive the award Maria Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, beating out President Donald Trump despite brokering a historic deal between Israel and Hamas.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for her work to transition Venezuela from dictatorship to democracy.

Let's not pretend Trump came in second for his work transitioning from democracy to dictatorship. www.foxnews.com/politics/nob...

My statement together with Muslim leaders from across the Commonwealth in response to John Reid's pattern of Islamophobic statements.

Every time a Muslim runs for office, certain voices question their loyalties or suggest hidden agendas , the same old dog whistles pop up like “religious connection.”

These aren’t real concerns, just coded attempts to stoke suspicion and distract from real issues.

October is POTS Awareness Month in Virginia. POTS disproportionately impacts women, especially women of color. Take a moment to learn about the signs and symptoms of this illness, and the stories of those who are struggling with it every day. #VAPOTSAwareness #VAPOTS

Congratulations to Rachna Sizemore Heizer, the Democratic Nominee for Braddock District Supervisor.

I carried SB1400 in the 2025 VA General Assembly to ban algorithmic rent-setting tools that use nonpublic competitor data, tools like the ones now at the heart of the Greystar/RealPage settlement. Tenants deserve fairness in the marketplace. finance.yahoo.com/news/greysta...

Donald Trump once said a government shutdown is a failure of the president, a sign of poor leadership. This will be his fourth. The last one was the longest in US history. Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House, and they still can't pass a budget.

Trump’s interference in Virginia’s federal courts is unprecedented and wrong. If they don’t impeach, this Congress has abandoned the checks and balances theory of democracy. And they wonder why they’re called authoritarians. t.co/2ypDyomeRP

White House aide sworn in as interim US attorney after Trump fired predecessor Appointment of Lindsey Halligan, who has no prosecutorial experience, alarmed current and former prosecutors

One of Trump's defense lawyers is now top federal prosecutor for the eastern half of Virginia with orders to go after his political opponents. We need to elect @jonesjay.bsky.social VA Attorney General to stand against Trump's cronyism taking over our courts. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For the folks at home, in February a judge ruled it was “factually true” that this man is “a violent thug, a liar and a sexual predator.” Welcoming his endorsement raises questions about the morality of John Reid's campaign.

To all my constituents who celebrate, wishing you a sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah! #roshhashanah2025

Today I welcomed Aftab Pureval, Cincinnati's first Asian American Mayor, to Fairfax County!

Virginia's Healthcare Marketplace is one of our great success stories, covering almost 400,000 Virginians last year. Medicaid Expansion covered more than 600,000. A million Virginians are at risk of losing their doctors next year from Trump's austerity budget.

The 1st Amendment isn’t about protecting easy or polite speech, it’s about safeguarding dissent, criticism, and free expression that those in power find inconvenient. When the ruling class controls the media, democracy isn’t democracy…it’s control.

During #HispanicHeritageMonth we celebrate Hispanic history and culture, and recognize our Hispanic friends, colleagues, and leaders who continue to shape the future of our community.

A stark reminder that political violence is poisoning our public life — some want to stoke fear while offering nothing to unite. We must not fall for that trap. Instead, we must stand together, reject hate, and defend our democracy with courage and compassion.

West Falls Church man charged with strangling girlfriend, who died | FFXnow Fairfax County police are investigating an apparent case of deadly domestic violence that occurred in West Falls Church late last month. Ana Maria Mena Membreno of Alexandria died last week (Sept. 5) ...

This is the danger we create when we make people live in the shadows. Her rational fear that the police would get ICE involved left her totally at her abuser's mercy. My prayers are with her family and friends. www.ffxnow.com/2025/09/11/w...

Let us remember the unity and compassion that carried us through those dark days.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸 #NeverForget

Twenty-four years ago, our nation was shaken by unimaginable tragedy. We honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the first responders and service members who showed extraordinary courage in the face of danger.
