The 2017 Unite the Right Rally, at which neo-Nazis and white supremacists marched in Charlottesville and UVA, was a chilling reminder of the bigotry, antisemitism, and racism of the far-right. Trump's characterization of that rally as a 'little peanut' is absolutely disgusting.

Wishing Mamie Locke a very happy 70th birthday! 🎂 Seventy looks powerful on you!

Praying that everyone who may have been in the warehouse and all of our first responders are safe.

This evening marks the beginning of Passover. I wish all who are celebrating across the Commonwealth a meaningful observance. Chag Pesach Sameach!

I am honored to announce that I have the support of Ghazala Hashmi in this campaign. The Senator has been a tireless fighter for reproductive rights, education, the environment, and access to affordable and safe housing.

I couldn't be prouder to have her standing with me.

Today marks the 54th celebration of Earth Day. As stewards of this planet, it’s our collective responsibility to protect and preserve it.

A Governor focused on helping working families. Imagine that.

Unions protect workers, secure safety regulations, fight for just compensation and critical benefits, help restore our middle class, and much more. Congratulations to the more than 4000 workers in TN who have joined the UAW.

“‘If [the Governor] doesn’t sign the bill, then he is working against the wishes of over 80% of Virginians who do support the right to contraception,’ Hashmi said.”

“In a striking disregard for the values and will of Virginians, Gov. Glenn Youngkin last week proposed a substitute that would gut Virginia’s Right to Contraception Act (RTCA)”

12 On Your Side WWBT Richmond Heads up, Ghazala Hashmi. Thanks for working to pass this law in Virginia. So nice to see you again last night. Thank you for your service to the Commonwealth.

.Ghazala Hashmi says it matters what VA does to protect contraception access. The legislature will review Gov. Youngkin's substitute proposal tomorrow, which she says is 'not useful' compared to the bill lawmakers already approved. Learn more: @rtdnews

Republicans in Washington always threaten to 'shut down' the government. Now, Virginia has a governor bringing DC tactics to Richmond. The General Assembly passed a strong bipartisan budget investing in children and families. Leaders who care about Virginia invest in Virginia.

Your tax day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor.

Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.

Yesterday, I was honored to join gun safety advocates and Tom Mauser, father of Daniel Mauser—one of twelve children killed at Columbine HS—in front of NRA HQ in Fairfax. 4/20 is the 25th anniversary of the tragedy and yet we’ve made little progress in protecting our children.
