In his haste to take a wrecking ball to the federal government, Donald Trump is putting American lives at risk – including this foreign service worker whose pregnant wife faces life threatening complications and was abandoned abroad by her president.

Utterly shameful.
Foreign service worker says pregnant wife faces 'life-threatening' complications amid Trump's USAID shutdown
“Our lives are acceptable collateral damage for their political gain,” the worker charged in a federal court affidavit.

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Virginia ranked dead last for math recovery from 2019 to 2024.

We should have the best public schools in America, but the Youngkin-Sears Administration hasn't delivered.

As your next Governor, I'll make this a priority. It's personal to me as a mom of three kids in Virginia public schools.
