As a former federal worker I understand what folks are going through.

Virginians, especially, are bearing the brunt of the government shutdown because of all the federal workers affected.

We are done funding endless wars abroad while struggling to survive at home. It’s time to fight for peace; and invest in our people, for doctors, groceries, and homes.

NoVA alert: Federal jobs are down 4.5% since January and internships have collapsed 36%. That’s career paths closing for Gen Z & young pros. We need to protect workers and restore paid pathways. #GowithMo #GenZ #Feds

With a potential government shutdown looming, Democrats cannot afford to roll over and risk health care for millions. Republicans are also using federal workers as leverage in negotiations, which is unacceptable. #Shutdown #GowithMo #dems

Yesterday I joined Tenants and Workers United and Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement (VOICE) for a Vigil in solidarity with immigrant communities.

The cruel and unconstitutional attacks from the Trump administration and ICE on our neighbors must end.

Trump’s ugly bill will push ~3 million people off food assistance (SNAP) when families are already paying more at the grocery store.

Now he‘s planning to end the USDA’s annual hunger report, hiding the scoreboard for his failed policies.

That is not leadership; it is cruelty.

This afternoon I had a very informative meeting with VA-8 residents.

With a worsening labor market, ICE targeting our neighbors, and Trump’s power grabbing moves, folks are hungry for new leadership that’ll fight for them and I’ll deliver as I did when I was on ALX City Council.

The silencing of Jimmy Kimmel following threats from Trump’s appointed FCC Chair is just the latest example of him illegally using American institutions to silence political opposition.

However, his attacks on free speech didn’t just start with late-night hosts.

Earlier this year, Trump and Republicans in Congress cut funding for healthcare for millions of Americans in their GOP Megabill in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy.

Now, your health insurance costs are set to rise by the highest rate in over 15 years.

Lynching isn’t just violence, it is terrorism with a vile, well-documented history. My deepest condolences to the Reed and Zukatis families. The DOJ must launch an independent investigation.
September 17, 2025 at 11:03 AM
The DOJ deleting a study that proves far-right extremists commit most domestic terrorism is a cover-up, plain and simple. You can’t fight what you refuse to name. Our communities deserve safety rooted in truth, not politics.

Proud to join the Mt Vernon Dems earlier today for their annual ice cream social. Thankful for all their hard work and efforts to make VA Blue this November.

Looking forward to connecting with more folks across VA-8!

Trump’s reckless tariffs are taking their toll on the economy and American workers.

The unemployment rate is at its highest since the pandemic, with the Black unemployment rate as high as 7%.

The Black unemployment rate is at its highest since 2021. Here's why that's a bad sign for the economy.
The unemployment rate for Black Americans hit 7.5% in August. Federal workforce reductions and tariff-fueled economic uncertainty may be contributing.

I condemn the violence that took Charlie Kirk’s life. No one should be murdered for their beliefs.

This is never acceptable. We are better than this.

My prayers are with his family as they grieve this horrific loss.

Republicans keep rigging Senate rules to ram through Trump’s nominees. This isn’t governance, it’s raw power. We need a representative who’s willing to do whatever it takes to push back against fascism because playing fair while they cheat is how democracy dies. #GoWithMo

Trump's attempt to strip schools of funding is illegal and nothing more than punishment for free speech.

This ruling should encourage every educational institution to stand its ground and push back against those who weaponize power to silence dissent.

Trump’s attempt to brand immigrants as an ‘invasion’ to invoke a 1798 law is exactly the perversion of justice I’ve fought against as a lawyer. The 5th Circuit was right to block it.

In Congress, we must defend the law from those who weaponize it against the vulnerable.

This #LaborDay, we honor the generations of workers and unions who fought and died for rights we often take for granted.

As a Dept of Labor attorney, I resigned after I saw Trump treat federal workers as disposable.

In Congress, I’ll stand up for fair wages and justice for all. #GoWithMo
