Incredibly honored to have the backing of three more unions in this fight. I will always be a champion for labor and for working families in Virginia. Our brothers and sisters in the labor movement know I have their back, and I’ll always be their advocate against Donald Trump's anti-worker agenda.

As conflict continues in Iran, it’s never been more important that we pass the National Guard Integrity and Democracy Protection Act that I authored this year. cardinalnews.org/2026/01/05/h...

I've stood up to America's enemies overseas. I've fought Donald Trump's MAGA agenda in Richmond. Today, I'm announcing my candidacy for VA-07 to take our battle to Washington. I'm proud to have been endorsed by dozens of Democrats - but the most important endorsement is yours. I hope you'll join us

6. It's true we in the opposition have limited power or leverage. Perhaps making this a real inflection point was beyond our ability. Or maybe it will still become one. But for now the administration is on course to brush aside this limited setback and forge ahead with its authoritarian agenda.

Trump Is Still Obsessed with Stealing Elections The FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots is as much about future elections as past ones.

"It’s time to wake up. Trump seems keen on influencing the vote in states that will decide margins in 2026 and the outcome in 2028. And that he has the FBI participating in his effort is a terrifying demonstration of just how many guardrails he has steamrolled..."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
