Trump uses immigrants & refugees as scapegoats. Days after he falsely alleged in September 2024 that Haitian refugees in Ohio were “eating” pets, I organized a workshop in Columbus to discuss how cities can push back. It included the mayors of Kyiv, Columbus & others. www.duffin4va.com

It was an honor to attend MPAC’s Empowering Voices Gala on Tuesday. Fighting for a safer and kinder America is one of my top priorities — we shouldn’t have to sacrifice our civil rights and civil liberties to live in safety. And we should be promoting peace around the world, not exporting war.

If someone gave you $103,912, would you criticize them? Well, that’s how much Dominion Energy gave @beyer.house.gov when he ran for governor. I’m sure they got more than a thank you card from Dominion Don. #RetireBeyer

Two years ago I was in Krakow meeting the mayors of Lviv, Manchester and Liverpool to discuss efforts to support Ukrainian cities. When I am elected to Congress, I will work tirelessly to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression. www.duffin4va.com

The housing market in Northern Virginia is on the verge of collapsing. Neighbors are selling due to job loss & there are “for sale” signs everywhere. We need Congress to fight for us but @beyer.house.gov took $350k+ from Bank of America & other donations from real estate developers. #RetireBeyer

I can’t say this any clearer — Feds need one of their own representating them in the House of Representatives. No one else will fight harder or with more than conviction than one of us.

What impact has illicit drug use had on this man’s brain? This man is not mentally there and it’s disturbing how no one around him cares.
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.
