Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

Trump is wrecking the economy with his reckless trade wars and more and more Americans are feeling it.

JUST IN: Former Trump spiritual adviser and Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.

He will serve only 6 months in jail and pay $250,000 in restitution.

The Trump administration illegally defunded the police in NYC to pressure Democratic leaders

Trump, two days later: β€œI reversed the cuts…It was my honor to do so.”

You can’t make this sh*t up.

Has Trump said anything about his former β€œspiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

SHAME ON THE MEDIA. Do you know who is NOT represented telling OUR stories? People like me and MILLIONS with chronic illness and Lupus, chronic pain, cancer survivors, Seniors and OTHERS who live on FIXED incomes that'll be devastated by health care INCREASES from ACA & CUTS from the BBB. AWARENESS!

First Republicans shut down the government instead of lowering health care costs, and now they blocked our bill to end Trump's sham "energy emergency" β€” which is just a gift to Big Oil that is gutting clean energy and RAISING energy prices.

Another betrayal of American families.

Thank you to all those who tuned into tonight's virtual town hall!

I draw so much hope and inspiration from your questions, comments, and civic participation.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Latina Equal Pay Day marks how far into 2025 Latinas must work to earn what white men earned in 2024. That gap isn't just a statistic β€” it's rent and groceries for families across our country. I'm committed to closing the gap and building an economy that works for everyone.

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social nails it: "Stalinism and Stephen Miller" (also note: the fact that Miller was likely to be very powerful in a second Trump administration was more than enough reason for every single American to vote for @KamalaHarris last November) bluevirginia.us/2025/10/wedn...

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

Too many Virginia families are struggling to afford the care and prescriptions they need to survive.

As Governor, I’ll lower healthcare costs, work to end price gouging, and give Virginians the flexibility to use the pharmacy of their choosing.

'Grave danger': Senator reveals Trump's 'well thought-out' plan to 'rule forever' U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, one of the most outspoken members of the Democratic Party, took to the Senate floor to explain what he says is President Donald Trump β€œenacting a well thought out plan so he...

Let me bottom line this for everyone: when free speech is being curtailed, perceived enemies are indicted for non-crimes, violent "police" action is being directed at opponents... you no longer live in a functioning democracy.

You’ll hear me talk about the issues that matter most β€” affordability, schools, safety β€” and putting Virginia first.

Let's focus on Steven Millers slip up on CNN.
Who the hell does he think he is?

No Steven Miller, Wrong again!!

No! You do not plenary authority to harm the American Public. It is cruel and illegal. You do not have the executive power to overthrow our own government
