Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/7EzL0Nhd

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.

I hear from Virginians every day who say they’re tired of the chaos coming from Washington. They’re looking for stability in Richmond— and real solutions.

Our ticket is unified and ready to work for every Virginian, regardless of their zip code.
