No military family should ever have to fear ICE.

No family should fear ICE.

We need leaders who protect our loved ones, uphold due process, and stand up for ALL our families.

Trump claims he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress, and Virginia voters have the choice to stop the MAGA power grab.

After talking with voters at farmers’ markets and polling locations, one thing is clear: Virginians are fired up to vote YES!

VOTE APRIL 21st

Growing pains: Rising diesel, fertilizer costs spurred by Iran war impact Va. farmers • Virginia Mercury Virginia farms are feeling the ripple effects from the uncertainty over the Iran War and the status of the Strait of Hormuz, a major international shipping artery.

Virginia farmers grow our food, but Trump’s Iran war is growing their bills.

We don’t need more war; we need a farm bill that puts family farmers and rural communities before oil companies and defense contractors.

It's an honor to be endorsed by one of the most effective senate majority leaders that has served Virginia, Senator @ssurovell.bsky.social!

Hungary sent a powerful message: voters ousted Viktor Orbán after 16 years & backed Péter Magyar’s pro-European, anti-corruption campaign.

A reminder that democracy can still surprise the strongmen.

Weekend round up!

This is exactly why members of Congress and the president shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks.

When powerful people can move markets with a post, no one should be profiting off what happens behind closed doors.

Glad to see my first bills from the 2026 #VALeg session signed into law. More to come next week!

Great to join the ribbon-cutting for The Cheese Cartel in Falls Church today! 🧀

Small businesses like this strengthen our economy, create jobs, and build community.

Stop by soon to taste some incredible local cheese!

Iran offered these ceasefire terms yesterday.

Trump threatened genocide this morning, and Americans spent all day in fear of what our military might do, so he could look like he's in control. It was pure theater.

This is insane, unstable behavior. He needs to be impeached.

State Sen. Saddam Azlan Salim announces congressional campaign in anticipated 7th District Virginia state Sen. Saddam Azlan Salim on Monday launched his campaign for the commonwealth's new 7th Congressional District under potentially redrawn congressional maps.

Leading with empathy is not a slogan, it is a governing strategy.

When leaders start by listening to people instead of lobbyists, we get policies that keep families housed, communities healthy, and opportunities within reach for everyone.

This man must be stopped.

The President of the United States of America is threatening genocide.

He is spiraling and taking all of us with him.

Invoke the 25th!

When victims can't go to court, criminals go free, and everyone is less safe.

ICE wants to corrupt our justice system by sacrificing public safety and the rights of victims for their mass deportation agenda.

By passing SB351, I sent a clear message: not in Virginia.

Saddam Salim for Congress Saddam Salim for Congress. Emapthy. Justice. Progress. I’m running for Congress to fight for a healthier, safer, and more affordable Virginia.

You deserve policy, not platitudes.
Go to my website. Let's do this together.

We were homeless and you opened your doors. Your empathy gave my family the chance to keep going.

Now, I am running for Congress to pay it forward and fight for your family the way you fought for mine.

We will stand up to billionaires, corporate PACs, AIPAC, and ICE.

Join us.

U.S. Postal Service seeks 8% fuel surcharge for package deliveries as Iran war raises oil prices Oil prices have jumped more than 40% since Feb. 28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran.

Congress is spending money at an alarming rate to bully immigrants and wage wars of choice, and soon Americans won’t be able to afford their mail. Raising prices at USPS causes real pain for seniors, rural communities, and small businesses.

Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating today!

Trump's own top counterterror chief just walked, saying Iran posed no imminent threat & this war was manufactured under pressure from Israel's lobby.

SB351, SB352 and SB783 will prohibit masked law enforcement, end raids on courthouses, schools and hospitals, and require reforms to ICE before they can cooperate with Virginia law enforcement. Virginians spoke up and demanded this, and we delivered! @acluva.bsky.social @vayd.bsky.social

Congressman Gerry Connolly took the time to talk to everyone, including me when I first decided to run for office. It was an honor to share my story of the impact he had on me as part of the passage of a resolution celebrating his life. youtu.be/OUA3epNVbNw?...

Heartbroken by the targeted attack at Temple Israel in Michigan.

Prayers for the injured guard—thank you for protecting the children.

In this divided political space, we must reject hate & come together against antisemitism & terror.

Solidarity with the Jewish community.

All Clear given following shooting on ODU campus; shooter dead, two hurt Officials tell 13News Now that two people are in critical condition and the gunman "is now deceased."

Thinking of the students, staff, & families shaken by today’s active shooter at ODU. Grateful to first responders for their swift action & praying for the two people critically injured.

Virginia campuses deserve safe learning environments.

“How do we ensure that my kids and your kids, and whoever's kids come after this, that they have a safe place when they go to school, not necessarily a place where they have to do active shooter drills and think about whether it’s real or if it’s not." www.wric.com/news/politic...
