Great job @DemsChesapeake 💙FYI the @RichmondDems have been FIRED UP since I became Chair a year & half ago but we’ve yet to have our own Mayor @LevarStoney to address us during that time despite multiple invites. We meet the 1st Thursday of every month. Feel free to stop by!
Let me tell you, @DemsChesapeake are FIRED UP! Had a blast eating hotdogs and crabs with the amazing candidates and great Dems who came out this afternoon. We’re not going to let Republicans take control and reverse Democratic policies this November. Let’s go! 🦀🌭🗳️

Bidenomics is so successful that Congressional Republicans are taking credit for its results.

On a day full of dire news from DC, I’m taking heart in this stellar slate of Dems running for the House in Virginia. Unthinkable just a few years ago — and so much good work ahead. – at Charlottesville, VA
We’re so excited to introduce our 2023 Democratic slate! These 89 candidates reflect the diversity and culture of Virginia. They are accomplished professionals and trusted leaders in their communities. RT if you’re fired up to elect these great Democrats this November!

VA Dems I am 100% serious: it’s a mistake to ignore this issue. I know it’s uncomfortable. But I would wager there are many PornHub users who are not otherwise engaged in politics that now have an important reason to oppose the GOP in November. wric.com/news/virginia-news/…

Right now you & @SenLouiseLucas are rallying Virginia’s state legislature to overturn the authority of Richmond’s public referendum decision to reject a casino. Shouldn’t the democratic election results to reject a predatory casino be protected too or is ignoring democracy for casino donors cool?
SCOTUS's rejection of the argument that state legislatures should have unchecked authority over our elections is a win for our democracy! While today’s ruling went in our favor, we must remain vigilant and resist the far-right’s future attempts to erode our democracy.

Last night, while I was telling Ruthie Ann Miles how incredible her performance was, she started touching my arms and stopped to tell me how soft my skin was. In lieu of flowers …

Someone who definitely called me a f*g in college just reached out to ask for guidance on some local LGBTQ issues. People can change! Life is beautiful! Republicans are awful!

It's been a while since I tweeted but with a new book on the way, you'll be hearing more from me. CHASING SHADOWS (@WmMorrowBooks), written with science writer @RetTalbot, is the story of my life tracking white sharks and it's available for pre-order now: bit.ly/ChasingShadows1
