The military is running out of missiles. People are running out of gas money. The Republican Party ran out of ideas a while ago.
We need to elect a strong Congress that will say NO to war.
Vote for @vademocrats on November 3rd!

This kind of rhetoric has no place in American politics. Many of the people who founded this country came here specifically to escape this kind of intolerance. Reject people who say this and leave their prejudice in the dustbin of history where it belongs.
When right wing militias attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, Ted Cruz led the opposition to a peaceful transfer of power inside the Senate by objecting to certifying Arizona’s election results.
Republicans like Ted Cruz are a risk to America’s safety and security.
@AbdulElSayed and the Democratic majority will bring the rule of law and Constitutional government back to Washington.
Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) says that if U.S. Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is elected into the Senate and is placed in the Senate Intelligence Committee, "there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result."

Here's then-candidate Spanberger last year with Huerta at a campaign event in Alexandria before Huerta leads the room in a chant of "¡Si se puede!"
"When you have Dolores Huerta in your midst it would be an absolute mistake to forgo the opportunity to do one final thing."
BREAKING: Labor leader, feminist and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta has died at 96. apnews.com/article/dolores-h…
Dolores Huerta spent her life fighting for people the world overlooked, co-founding the United Farm Workers and giving a movement its words: Sí se puede.
Generations stand taller because she organized with courage and unmatched grace. The fight continues in her name. Rest in power.

Donald Trump doesn't give a damn that Americans are getting squeezed by higher gas prices because he's cashing in.
Since the start of the Iran war, Trump has made more than $35 million from oil and gas, nearly doubling his wealth from the industry.
Thank you to the attendees of my annual SD37 Elected Officials Summit! With over 40 participants from across my district, we had a constructive conversation surrounding key policy issues that impact Senate District 37 and the Commonwealth.
Ten days to Election Day!
@FairfaxDems and @FairfaxCityDem are Getting Out The Vote for @MarkWarnerVA @RepDonBeyer @JamesWalkinshaw - and for 3 amendments to the Virginia Constitution!
Reproductive freedom, Marriage equality, and Restoration of voting rights are on the ballot! Get out and Vote YES!
Virginia Republicans rolled out the red carpet for this fraudster.
They toured the Commonwealth and packed rooms to hear about his strategy for winning elections.
It never made any sense until today. #valeg
NEW: Scott Presler allowed multiple out of state GOP operatives to use his home in Pennsylvania to vote in the '24 election. Those operatives then left the state. Election lawyers say this could be in violation of PA voting laws.

Trump's politicization of the Department of Justice and other federal agencies is well known in my district, where thousands of federal workers were fired for refusing to put loyalty to Trump ahead of the Constitution.
We don't work for Trump, we work for the people. #valeg
After decades of service, Clerk of the Senate Susan Schaar is retiring. The Virginia Senate runs on her knowledge, her steadiness, and her grace.
Thank you, Madam Clerk, the institution won't be the same without you. #valeg
I am incredibly thankful that this teen cyclist’s injuries are not life threatening.
Every driver, cyclist and pedestrian in Fairfax County needs to be mindful of safety at all times, on both roads and sidewalks.

No he wouldn't.
If Lindsey Graham were alive, he'd be on TV thanking Trump. @JohnCornyn would too if they hadn't kicked him off the ticket.
He'd come up with some lame excuse to blame Democrats and continue supporting Republicans while they try to shred the last remnants of our nation's integrity.
Lindsey would be appalled: Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/po…
As a graduate of @GeorgeMasonU I was glad to join the Student Government for this year's Build Your Own Bill workshop.
The cost of housing, the use of AI in education, and the opportunity to get a good job are challenges our students think about every day.
Thank you to everyone who attended this year for bringing your energy, creativity, and passion for building our community's future.
Instead of bringing down tariffs or ending their illegal war on Iran, the Trump administration tore down the trees in a much loved public park visited by Virginians every day.
The continued disregard for courts and the law is aided by the Supreme Court looking the other way.
In 21 days, we can elect a Congress that will fight back.
More than 400 trees were cut down in D.C.'s East Potomac Park this weekend. A furious federal judge said the government failed to give proper notice of the work amid an ongoing lawsuit. trib.al/Kr3XlMD
Today, we reflect on the impact and history of Indigenous People in the Commonwealth. Let us uplift their voices, and recognize their rich history.
Today, we recognize World Mental Health Day to raise awareness and support those who are facing mental health issues in our community.
Whats that? Russia, Russia, Russia?
Trump: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel."
