"Medicaid is an indispensable lifeline for our nation's most vulnerable..." ROB WITTMAN (R-VA1) ROB AND JEN SAID THEY WOULDN'T VOTE TO CUT MEDICAID AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES "...we cannot and will not support a final reconciliation bill that includes any reduction in Medicaid coverage for vulnerable populations." CONGRESSIONAL LETTER SIGNED BY ROB WITTMAN AND JEN KIGGANS (R-VA2) THEY LIED.

All five Virginia Republicans voted to harm Virginians today.

They voted to strip social services, attack vulnerable communities, and put our Commonwealth’s future in jeopardy.

Shame on them. Virginia will remember this!

We officially have a Democratic ticket! We could not be more proud to support these three amazing candidates that have devoted their lives to public service.

Congratulations to @senatorhashmi.bsky.social and Jay Jones for securing the Democratic nominations for Lt. Governor and Attorney General!

Young Democrats across the commonwealth are excited to support this ticket and we can’t wait to celebrate on victory night! Let’s fight together for progress!

Our thoughts are with the lives lost and impacted by these terrible acts.

We must never accept political violence. Our country settles its differences through democratic action and peaceful discourse.

We wish for quick healing and a return to peace in Minnesota.

Stand with Los Angeles. Stand with immigrants. Fight back against ICE!

Musk via X: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

Musk in the last ~5 hours:

• Publicly lashed out on Trump’s spending bill❌

• Acknowledges that the election would have went totally different without his corrupt donations💰

• Drops old news: Trump is in the Epstein files😬 (simultaneously admitting that he supported a p*dophile for President)

Judge says Youngkin can't pull Virginia out of greenhouse gas program A Floyd County judge ruled that Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration doesn’t have the authority to pull Virginia out of a regional effort to cut greenhouse gases that cause climate change.

This is a win for every Virginian grappling with the effects of climate change right now, and for future generations whose communities will be protected.

This is vital not only for our environment but also for easing the daily burdens on Virginians by lowering costs.
