Virginia families are finally seeing the results of Senate Democrats’ leadership. $1 billion in direct tax relief is now making its way into mailboxes across the Commonwealth. That means $200 for individual filers and $400 for couples filing jointly, helping families cover costs.

I see a lot of β€œDogs for Spanberger” out on the trail, but I feel extra lucky to have this one’s support!

To all of our first responders and their pups, thank you for keeping Virginia safe!

Trump to withhold $2.1 billion for Chicago infrastructure projects amid shutdown battle The pause affects a long-awaited plan to extend the city’s Red Line train. White House budget director Russ Vought wrote on social media Friday that the money was β€œput on hold to ensure funding is not...

Let me be clear: this is stealing from the American people. They think this illegal blackmail will make us cave β€” but it's just proving exactly why we can't give these crooks a blank check.

Americans won't tolerate their tax dollars and communities being held hostage.

Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.

I've said it before but the VAGOP hoped lightning would strike twice and had no other strategy if it didn't. That's why Earle-Sears' ads are just around trans issues

In some sense I think they understood that she was cooked from the start if Trump won, but she did also run a really bad campaign

Hey guys heads up – Republicans are repeating the same braindead lie about health care for undocumented immigrants to try and distract from their open efforts to spike your premiums.

Donald Trump has shut down the federal government and is threatening to use it to fire more Virginians as a result.

Unsurprisingly, Winsome Earle-Sears has done NOTHING to stand up and protect Virginia jobs.

Virginians are already facing the dire impacts of DOGE, reckless tariffs, and attacks on their healthcare coverage. And now, our Commonwealth faces totally unnecessary job cuts as President Trump promises to enact mass firings. (1/3)

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.

Even when asked directly, Winsome Earle-Sears refuses to stand up to Trump and protect Virginia jobs. With Winsome Earle-Sears, it will always be Trump over Virginians.

Albemarle Dems call out Earle-Sears as clinics close, thousands prepare to lose Medicaid Dels. Amy Laufer and Katrina Callsen say health care is the No. 1 issue for their constituents in Central Virginia, but Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears doesn't seem to care.

NEW: Healthcare is one of the TOP issues for Virginians ahead of this November’s election, but Winsome Earle-Sears β€œdoesn't seem to care.”

The John Roberts Supreme Court is making everything lawless and racist and chaotic and awful

Republicans spent 40 years preparing for making life awful for all of us

The Trump administration is moving aggressively to privatize the VA β€” arbitrarily laying off employees, lowering the quality of, and limiting access to, health care that veterans receive.

Unacceptable. We must stand with veterans and oppose all efforts to privatize the VA.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

@abigailspanberger.com has our backs β€” the same can’t be said for Winsome Earle-Sears.

If I am the Republicans, I am not celebrating right now. Mike Johnson knows how bleak it is.

Their signature legislation has a -29 rating and they’re about to shut down the government to avoid saving Americans’ healthcare.

Trump may be popular at the Ryder Cup, but not with voters.

On World Contraception Day, remember that Winsome Earle-Sears was the deciding vote against the Right to Contraception Act and left a handwritten note explaining that she’s β€œmorally opposed” to a constitutional amendment protecting reproductive freedom β€” including contraception, abortion, and IVF.

Former Trump campaign Co-Chair on Winsome Earle-Sears' β€œOperation Defend and Deliver” β€” β€œIt just doesn’t mean anything!”

If Sears' messaging isn't breaking through to John Fredericks, it certainly isn't breaking through to Virginians.

Today is World Contraception Day, so let me be clear β€” contraception is essential for women’s healthcare and safety.

I’ll always defend reproductive freedom in Virginia β€” and unlike my opponent, I’ll sign the Right to Contraception Act into law as soon as it lands on my desk as Governor.

This is part of the MAGA's plan - get enough farmers to fall into financial ruin, "buy up" the property by investing in it and essentially turn the farmer into a lessee - AcreTrader makes all the rules and yields the bulk of the profit - it's tenant farming all over again.

Virginia’s dedicated federal workers are more than a pawn in this Administration’s political games.

Trump’s antics are only fueling the fire for the Commonwealth to elect @abigailspanberger.com, @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, and @jonesjay.bsky.social this November.

Listen Russ, you are a malignant political hack.

We will not be intimidated by your threat to engage in mass firings.
