While other states' Attorneys General have filed several lawsuits against Trump to protect their residents, Miyares has failed to take any action to protect Virginians from Trump’s Medicaid cuts gutting healthcare access in rural communities as well as the higher prices his illegal tariffs cause.

Jason Miyares will not take any action to stand up for Virginia’s 300,000 federal workers under threat from “imminent” layoffs & the local economies that rely on them. The White House denies that furloughed federal workers are guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during Trump's shutdown

Virginia State Senate Dems just brought down fire and fury regarding the “Compact,” notifying the President and Rector that UVA would lose ALL STATE APPROPRIATIONS if it signs and cedes the University to “federal political control.” Notably, their letter directly restates points made here by @siva.
The “compact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Is Spanberger up by 4 percentage points or 17? Why two new polls have very different results.
Both polls make one thing clear, though: Virginians don't like President Donald Trump and that complicates things for Republicans.
