George Mason University is rallying today in the city of Fairfax to make sure they are included in our collective bargaining bill! I worked in my Campus Dining Hall and I'm going to make sure our student workers, professors and everyone who works at our universities have representation!

Govt cannot pull issued permits while turbines are being erected & rights have vested - Trump's blatantly illegal political payback to VA for voting for @SpanbergerForVA should be called out by Youngkin/Miyares who must DO SOMETHING to protect the people they swore to defend

Selling a Founding Father’s estate, for this couple, means leaving home Among the decisions Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt faced about Oak Hill was what to do with the Virginia mansion built by America’s fifth president, James Monroe.

Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt are like any elderly couple trying to downsize, only their transition is a tad more complicated: The home they’re leaving is a 1,200-acre Virginia estate that once belonged to a Founding Father.

Why Virginia lawmakers want to temporarily change how congressional maps are drawn The Democratic-led Virginia General Assembly is in the process of putting a constitutional amendment on redistricting on the ballot for early 2026.

"Democrats might be able to win more votes nationwide, but still be locked out of Congress for a decade, even though winning election after election after election after election nationwide by more votes." -- @ssurovell.bsky.social

Trump kept struggling to keep his eyes open at an Oval Office event On Thursday, President Donald Trump seemed to struggle to keep his eyes open during a roughly 20-minute stretch at an Oval Office event on drug-price cuts.

So much of what this President has done for years is projection - he clearly doesn't have the cognitive ability or mental stamina to do this job at age 79
