I sold my tiny bit of Tesla stock years ago, when I stopped thinking Elon was pro-environment. But for a year I’ve looked at the price every morning - like checking the weather. It was a very cold winter, but today Tesla’s price feels like Spring is coming! Keep fighting!

It’s part of a broader crackdown on the civil liberties of those who disagree with the president.

The president’s new slogan might as well be “We were better off 95 years ago than we are today.”

Too many Virginians can't afford job training programs and too many employers struggle to fill skilled labor positions.
I have a solution: my JOBS Act will allow students to use Pell Grants—education grants for lower-income folks—to pay for shorter-term job training programs.

Everything you can includes an end to rubber-stamping Trump appointees, right Senator?
I’ve been hearing from constituents about how Trump’s order to halt federal funding has caused chaos and confusion. We’re going to do everything we can in the courts and in Congress to fight tooth and nail against this. Contact my office for help at kaine.senate.gov.

I love the #Swasticar trend. The price of Testla stock has more than doubled in the last year. If the Swasticar trend picks up enough momentum to impact the stock, maybe Elon will stop playing with the government & refocus on cars?

Trump is in the process of trying to fire a few hundred thousand federal workers who make sure you get your benefits checks and so much more.
90% of them work in your community, not Washington.
The impact on local economies will be severe.
