Not just TN-07. Every single seat that can be flipped matters to the future of our country. If you can help from wherever you are, we must try. Virginia democrats, exhausted from our campaigns are writing postcards for her.

We showed up for Ms James today to let her know that we stand with her against this regime. Virginia has an election in about 2 weeks. This crew left there to knock doors. But the crew was there.

How I feel, but she’s brave enough to risk death. Unfortunately, my temper is coming out while poll greeting during early voting. I just can’t let that MAGA BS go unanswered.
She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.
We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.
The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.
We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

#Virginiaelections. #democrats Poll greeting today. MAGA also there. I was talking to a voter & maga said “millions of $ coming in for dems from out of state. That’s not right!” I said “folks all over the country are standing with us to fight trumpism here. Thanks for reminding me!”

Furloughed for the shutdown in/near Virginia? Contact your local democratic campaign or cross the border (DC folk) and knock doors. Early voting is open. Turn your anxiety/rage into action.

If we do run the table this cycle, we still may not have time to stabilize the state budget for the worst of the Medicaid cuts. If the republican is left at AG, we won’t even fight for it. We have to vote blue all the way down the ballot. Early voting open now. Take an ID.
Trump’s Medicaid cuts are already causing healthcare clinics to close and overwhelming others that provide care to Virginians who need it most.
Our AG should be fighting back against these cuts and delivering for rural Virginians, not enabling Trump.

Central Virginia free clinics fear Medicaid cuts mean they'll be 'overrun with new patients'
Central Virginia free clinic operators warned Sen. Tim Kaine last week that President Donald Trump's cuts to Medicaid could overwhelm their capacity.

#virginia Things I heard canvassing in Virginia for democrats yesterday: “I’m not voting for any more white men.” Our candidates are a white woman, an Indian-American woman, and a black man. Her local rep is a black man. There will be no white men on her ballot. “Isn’t Youngkin a democrat?”

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.
So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

They’re gonna blame the moms.
They always blame the moms.
They’re blaming moms for using the only safe pain reliever that in no way causes autism but WILL cause undue guilt and anguish.
Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

Seriously. We need to reach moms with neurodivergent kids. It. Was. Not. The. Freeking. Tylenol. Terrible things happen randomly. For no reason. To all of us. Talk to your pediatrician. Follow #medsky here.
Tylenol, schmylenol. Raise your hand if your mom smoked and drank while she was pregnant with you (basically anyone Gen X or older).
