I turned on Fox tonight and in just one segment hosts called for: suspending jury trials, impeaching judges who limit Trump, and invoking the Insurrection Act. And yet, not one panelist expressed concern for the Pretti family or for freedom against unchecked federal power.

Senators, obey your oath. Vote against ICE’s blank check to kill with impunity.
This includes every GOP Senator who’s bragged about carrying the Constitution in their pocket or posed with a Gadsden flag and now actually has a vote to check federal tyranny. Remember this?

It’s heartbreaking and infuriating to meet with local leaders and hear how more and more counties are losing their OB-GYNs as maternal health deserts continue to expand across Southside. And yet, Congress and McGuire continue to gut our rural healthcare systems

Maternity Care Desert: Virginia, 2024 Report
Maternity care deserts are counties in which access to maternity health care services is limited or absent. Access to quality maternity care is a critical component of maternal-infant health.

In 1963 on the MLK Bridge in Danville, mostly young African Americans marched for desegregation and equal rights - and were brutally attacked, with over 60 sent to the hospital. Generations later, we honor their courage by standing up to ongoing attacks on civil liberties.

Great to march again with Councilman Bryant Hood in honor of MLK. And thanks (I think) for the before and after pics!

Let’s be frank: one outcome of John McGuire raising premium costs for the middle class and small businesses is that people will not see a raise in their paycheck this year.

Let’s be clear about who’s paying the price for John McGuire and Congress’s vote against extending ACA premium subsidies: the middle class, small business owners, and the working poor. This was a gut punch, and it didn’t have to be.

Mayor Alonzo Jones has been an incredible advocate for the great city of Danville. I’m ready to give Southside the federal partner they deserve, focused on continued economic growth and good wages.
