November 11 represents the resilience, leadership, hard work, and excellence of those who have served across all five branches of the U.S. military. To our fallen heroes and the soldiers who continue to serve — thank you. We’ll always be grateful. Happy Veteran’s Day! 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay

💚🧠 Today is PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day! Let’s shine a light on these life-altering pediatric conditions caused by infections and inflammation of the brain.

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS. SHARE THE MESSAGE. CHANGE A LIFE.

Virginia families are finally seeing the results of Senate Democrats’ leadership. $1 billion in direct tax relief is now making its way into mailboxes across the Commonwealth. That means $200 for individual filers and $400 for couples filing jointly, helping families cover costs.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a time to honor the survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and stand with everyone still fighting this battle. We send love and strength to every warrior here in the Commonwealth and beyond. 💗

Healthcare is on the line for hundreds of thousands in our Commonwealth. Trump’s failures could leave Virginians uninsured and rural hospitals shuttered. Virginians showed up in 2024. Now it’s time to show up again. 🗳️ Early voting begins Sept. 19.

Whether you’re grilling out with family, traveling for the weekend, or taking some much-needed rest, we want to thank all of the hardworking people across our Commonwealth. Happy Labor Day Virginia! 🇺🇸

From classrooms to campuses, Republicans are waging war on public education. We’re standing up for Virginia students. Listen to Senator Lashrecse Aird as she speaks out defending our top public universities.

🗳️ 60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 became the law of the land. This piece of legislation was a hard-won victory for the civil rights movement and democracy.

Today, that legacy is under attack by Republicans working to roll back voting access across the country. We won’t go back.

The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with massive federal layoffs. Labor unions and local governments across the nation are warning of major disruptions to federal services. (1/2)

Virginia Republicans in Congress are making it harder for families to feed themselves and their children. They’re requiring seniors to work for food. They’re taking food away from people with disabilities.

This isn’t fiscal responsibility. It is just plain ole cruelty.

Happy Independence Day, Virginia! 🇺🇸

This isn’t just about UVA. This is about the Republicans and their national strategy to erase DEI, silence students, and push us backwards.

🛑 Not in Virginia. Not on our watch.
Senate Democrats protect progress, and we fight for every student.

The University of Virginia is one of the top public universities in our nation and President Jim Ryan is a respected leader. Virginia doesn’t need Trump and his allies meddling in our high education system!

Stay in Washington, Mr. Trump. We’ve got this! #valeg

Since our press release was initially released, University of Virginia’s President Jim Ryan has resigned.

On June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom.

Happy Juneteenth. Let us celebrate, reflect, and recommit to the work ahead. ❤️💚🖤
