#Eclipse #MTG

I don't do politics, nor do I care about politics.

However – if someone says they believe that an earthquake and an eclipse are sudden divine political warnings, you should probably ask yourself – 'is this individual existing in a headspace commensurate with reality?'

Last night in New York City Clinton, Obama and Biden (Dark Brandon) had one of the largest fundraisers in modern presidential history.

Trump on the other hand was spending time trying to politicize a funeral and attacking the daughter of a federal judge on social media despite…

As a Virginian, I am appalled that Gov. Youngkin has such a disregard for our health and safety that he would veto these life-saving measures.

Virginians deserve better. Shame on you, Youngkin. #VaLeg

When a loved one dies of cancer, we don’t say “now is not the time to talk about ending cancer.”

When a pedestrian is struck by a car, we don’t say “now is not the time to talk about highway safety.”

Guns are the #1 killer of kids because we refuse to acknowledge the problem.

Yesterday, on #InternationalWomensDay , Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed my bill to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers. In doing so, he turned his back on victims and sided with the NRA and extremists instead.

The women of Virginia deserve better.

We spent a generation underfunding public education. Since 2018 Virginia Democrats have prioritized righting that wrong. Glad to see that work continue under VA Senate Democrats and L. Louise Lucas!

Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator.…

HELL YEAH! You want your freaking Glenn-dome?? We want to rejoin RGGI and have those funds available for flood mitigation and other critical climate needs. (Budget amendment from Commerce, Agriculture & Natural Resources Subcommittee)

Nice bipartisan support for Delegate Kannan Srinivasan bill requiring electronic discovery (i.e. access to documents related to a criminal case), so defense attorneys don't have to physically go to the prosecutors office and photocopy things.

Virginians have spoken loudly and clearly that they don't want to see abortion banned!

Monday? More like get stuff done day: A thread.

✅ Close the boyfriend loophole & keep firearms out of the hands of violent intimate partners regardless of marital status. (Passed out of Courts Committee 9-6)

'Why don’t we take a step back? We’re not saying you can’t have a firearm—we’re just asking that you wait for a 5-day period.” Today the Senate passed a bill of which I was a co-patron (SB273) that'll require a 5-day waiting period for guns. The cooling off period will save lives

There's always gotta be that ONE guy right?
This is the vote on whether to extend curbside voting for people with disabilities to people with non-physical disabilities upon request. (Because for some ppl w developmental disabilities, the polling place can be overwhelming.)

I announced we're investing another $82M to connect 16,000 additional homes and businesses to high-speed internet across North Carolina.

This is just one piece of a much bigger story. Under my leadership, over 40,000 infrastructure projects have been announced across our nation.

I am so grateful we have a President that rejects the idea that ceos at banks are buying yachts using profits they 'earn' every time we don't have enough in our bank account to cover the cost of living.

Now, maybe it’s time for a renaming: sinking ship?

Grateful to my state senator Barbara Favola for SB15 in Virginia- protects the right to reproductive health despite it being under siege in other states.
Also TY to Marcus Simon Russet Perry Senator Lashrecse Aird Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy Creigh Deeds & many others for it.

✅GOOD: SB332, a bill that would help immigrants in Virginia avoid potential deportation for misdemeanors, passed the Senate with a 21-19 vote, and now heads to the House.

Virginia is for everyone. ❤️

Kudos to Senator Saddam Azlan Salim for leading the effort.
