"All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it."

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Republicans in Richmond are planning on ending clean air standards this session.

The efforts should be blocked, just like courts blocked their plan to pull us out of the RGGI. We need to protect our environment, not embolden bad actors. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Canada’s top general is now calling out Peter Hegseth and other Republicans who are pushing to remove women from military combat roles.

Donald Trump isn’t in office, yet other nations are already laughing at us. It’s shameful. Tell your Senators to vote NO on the nomination.

I understand that the Trump transition is not submitting nominees for FBI background checks, and that in many cases there appears to be no formal vetting at all.

But are they also not just... uh... googling?

Virginia is going to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2025, 2026, and beyond.
As Mayor of Richmond I’m proud we rejected the politics of Donald Trump and we won.

Virginia went blue in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

Now, I’m running for Lieutenant Governor because our Commonwealth must stay blue in 2025. Our national comeback starts with us!
