Rep. @JamesWalkinshaw (D-VA11) Statement on House Republicans Lies About George Mason University President bluevirginia.us/2025/11/thur...
Walkinshaw Statement on House Republicans Lies About George Mason University President Fairfax, VA - Congressman James R. Walkinshaw (D-VA), who represents George Mason University in Congress, released the following statement on disgraced Chairman Jim Jordan’s lies about President Gregory Washington: “Here in Virginia, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, students, faculty, and business leaders know the truth: President Gregory Washington has been an exemplary leader in the most difficult of times. Disgraced Washington politicians like Jim Jordan can try to tear him down with Trumped up, bogus accusations, but our community knows the truth. Make no mistake, this is an attack on free speech and academic freedom. It’s cancel culture at its worst and the American people are tired of right-wing snowflakes like Jim Jordan trying to silence anyone who doesn’t bend the knee to their bizarre MAGA ideology.”

Rep. @JamesWalkinshaw (D-VA11), Ranking Member Garcia Call for GAO Investigation into Vought’s Illegal Layoff Directive During Shutdown bluevirginia.us/2025/10/virg...
Walkinshaw, Ranking Member Garcia Call for GAO Investigation into Vought’s Illegal Layoff Directive During Shutdown WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman James R. Walkinshaw (VA-11), Member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Congressman Robert Garcia (CA-42), the Committee’s Ranking Member, today requested the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate whether President Trump and OMB Director Russ Vought’s directive ordering agencies to issue Reduction-in-Force (RIF) notices during the GOP government shutdown violates the Antideficiency Act. In their letter to Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, the lawmakers condemned OMB’s description of the shutdown as an “opportunity” to fire federal employees, calling the memo “legally unsupportable and unconstitutional.” “Setting aside the abhorrent description of a GOP government shutdown as an ‘opportunity,’ this OMB memorandum rests on a legally unsupportable premise,” the Members wrote. “A lapse in appropriations suspends the availability of funds but does not repeal or nullify statutory mandates. Undefined ‘Presidential priorities’ cannot substitute for statutory direction.” The Members urged GAO to determine whether agency compliance with OMB’s directive would constitute a violation of the Antideficiency Act, noting that the Act “does not authorize agencies to incur obligations for the purpose of planning or executing reductions in force during a shutdown.” They emphasized that any agency implementing Trump and Vought’s directive would be breaking federal law and required to report that violation to Congress. Their request follows reports that the Trump administration has used the shutdown to accelerate workforce reductions that have already weakened agency oversight and public service delivery.

Not only should this be crystal clear to everyone by now, they'd better have a plan to deal with it...or we're seriously f'ed. cc: @SenTimKaine @MarkWarner @RepSuhas @RepVindman @RepDonBeyer @JamesWalkinshaw @RepMcClellan @BobbyScott bluevirginia.us/2025/09/tues... h/t @atrupar.com
"I hope it's clear to everyone by now that Trump really is going for it -- he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat who's unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as a key part of that effort." - Aaron Rupar

"As I pointed out after our special election in Virginia, Speaker Johnson swore in two Republicans the day after their special election wins (in pro forma sessions). Rep-Elect Grijalva should...be sworn in immediately." - Rep. @JamesWalkinshaw (D-VA11) bluevirginia.us/2025/09/satu...

GOP House Majority Suffers Blow in Special Election

In the special election for Virginia’s 11th Congressional District, Democratic candidate Rep. #JamesWalkinshaw successfully defeated Republican Stewart Whitson.

So...almost 40k votes, which blows away the old record (which was 28k) for Virginia Dem "firehouse primaries." The big question at this point, honestly, seems to be how big a margin @JamesWalkinshaw will win by. bluevirginia.us/2025/06/afte...
