How much extra are you paying for health insurance now? Senate Republicans are doing nothing about your rising healthcare costs — while pretending they have a right to run Venezuela and extract their resources. Is that what you voted for?
Stay focused on what Republicans are taking away from you.

Reporting live here from Prince William, just before the sun set over the county, a dead party was spotted on PW Pkwy. If you're not from PWC or dont live here, you may not know this was the PWCGOP Headquarters for decades! I mean 30+ years, and they done flew the coop! 😂

VA Senate President Pro Tempore @SenLouiseLucas says she's "taking notes" on a possible 10-1 Dem US House map in VA (which would mean that GOP Reps. Rob Wittman, Jen Kiggans, John McGure & Ben Cline would all be outta there, leaving just Morgan Griffith). bluevirginia.us/2025/10/ny-t...

20 years ago today (Oct 24, 2005), we lost Rosa Parks.
Virginia, did you know that in 1957–58 she lived/worked as a hostess at Hampton Institute’s Holly Tree Inn—still organizing for justice. Her courage keeps us moving. #RosaParks #Virginia #CivilRights

As Bishop Leah D. Daughtry reminds us, this is bigger than politics, it’s about power, economics, and survival.

As Dwana Franklin-Davis reminds us, leaving women of color out of leadership isn’t just exclusion, it’s lost innovation, progress, and possibility.
At BWLC, we’re building the tables, shaping the policies, and leading the change our communities deserve.

Host: As the government shutdown enters its 4th week, lines growing longer, tempers getting shorter. Staffing shortages are leading to longer wait times at security. Food pantries are stressed, with roughly 1.4 million federal employees furloughed, demand is on the rise

Hey y'all!
We only have a few short weeks left before we decide who our next Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General will be (and 100 seats in the House). So, if you live in Virginia, drop a line or two in the comments, and tell me your why (voting).
Wishing you all an amazing day!
