Juan Soto leaving the #Nats is sad. We’re a loyal fanbase. The DMV is the highest earning region in the country. We can afford generational talents. The other moves over the years could be rationalized. This never will for me. #Natitude

Haven’t you wished that members of Congress would do the right thing even if it cost them an election? Two members of the #January6thCommittee are doing just that: @RepLizCheney (R) and @RepElaineLuria (D). Both are endangered now but insist the Constitution is worth it. It is.

I want to thank @GovernorVA for his text message this week, congratulating me on my excellent speech on Black History Month. I appreciate the effort, but that speech was actually given by @SenatorLocke. Study the photos and you will get this soon!

This was January 6th. This is not “legitimate political discourse.”

Idk about you, but paying a few cents of tax on a gallon of milk is well worth it to me if it means kids are getting a good education. #readtheroombuddy

I will wait here for the apparent growing chorus referenced here who are opposed (that is right opposed according to this tweet) to a @POTUS who honors the lives of those lost, with empathy and grace.

Hi Virginia, it's your doctor-governor here. Vaccines and boosters are the very best way to protect yourself and your family from #COVID19—particularly over the holidays. If you have not been vaccinated or gotten your booster shot, now is the time: vaccinate.virginia.gov/

I said it in 2017, and I say it today: end the tax on groceries and help working families
It's time to end the regressive state sales tax on groceries. bit.ly/2bv9yzj

Virginia Dem Sen. Kaine says Congressional Dems are to blame for McAuliffe's loss “I think it was on the shoulders of Democrats here who have the majority," he said. "People had a lot of hope for Joe Biden and the Joe Biden agenda, but Democrats didn't want to give Biden a win"
