Republicans control Congress and could pass a nationwide gerrymandering ban tomorrow if they wanted to 🤷‍♂️

If you think the person who accepted over $2 MILLION from crypto is going to regulate it well…

I’ve got fishing boats in Venezuela to sell you.
You're absolutely right and that is a problem but then we go into the reality that she is trying to REGULATE the industry!

Acting like $59k from a casino PAC for a state rep race and $2 million from crypto PAC for a congressional race are the same is both intellectually lazy and dishonest.

Guess which one he demonizes???

Jasmine took $2 million from crypto, what a bad faith attempt to hide her own lies

Jasmine Crockett takes corporate money and does the bidding of Israel FOR FREE.

No, thank you.

This rural Texan will be voting for the candidate who has sworn off corporate money and is running to end DC corruption, not be apart of it.

Teamwork makes the dream work! Honored to be a Chief Co-Patron of HB1, the bill to raise Virginia’s minimum wage to $15. This would not be possible without the incredible leadership of Delegate Jeion Ward, Chief Patron of HB1.

New Virginia minimum wage passes out of the House
The bill now heads to the Senate where it’ll likely also pass along party lines.

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

Proud to have authored HB495—because student mental health support shouldn’t end at the classroom door.

Our school bus drivers are on the front lines, building relationships with kids daily. Now, they’ll have the training to spot signs of struggle and help connect students with care.

Great to join my AFL-CIO brothers and sisters for a night of fun and laughter. Workers deserve dignity and fair pay, that’s why I am glad to be a Chief co-patron of HB 20 that would remove the exemption on minimum wage for farm workers, and HB 1092 protecting workers from heat stress.

Incredibly honored to stand with my brothers and sisters as we fight to get rid of the Farmworker Minimum Wage exemption. As an immigrant, a former minimum-wage worker holding three jobs, and a union member myself, the fight for dignity and fair pay is personal.

Powerful moments in our city aren't always loud. Today, it is the quiet, determined footsteps of monks who have walked from Texas for peace. As a public servant, their pilgrimage inspires me.

Happy Black History Month! This is a time to honor the profound and enduring contributions of Black Americans to our nation's story.

This month serves as a vital reminder of stories that some seek to downplay or erase.

The most important part of my job is to listen. This weekend @repsuhas.bsky.social hosted a great town hall conversation on data centers and I was honored to participate. Sincere thanks to every constituent who shared their thoughts and stories.

Democrats flipped a reliably red State Senate seat in North Texas yesterday.

It was a 34 point swing towards Dems.

🏥 I introduced a budget amendment for the health of Virginia families. While the White House creates policies that leave people without coverage and drive up everyone’s medical costs, we have a choice in Virginia.

From the Senate to the Governor’s Mansion, I am excited to see @amyklobuchar.com run to lead Minnesota! A champion for Minnesotans who knows how to deliver and fight for the people she represents! She helped me get back to Richmond and I am ready to help her to bring peace to Minnesota. Let's go!

Fixing the Bristow Manor sewer system should not cost homeowners $120,000 each. Yesterday, I introduced a budget amendment to provide the final $2.5M needed to fix the failing system.

‼️🚨Proud to have introduced HB 414, a bill to remove the Selective Service registration barrier from state financial tuition assistance. This bipartisan bill aligns the Commonwealth with federal law, and keeps Virginia academically competitive.

I am proud to introduce H.B. 414, which opens new doors by removing a key barrier. This bill ensures state financial aid is based on academic goals, not Selective Service registration. Access to higher education should be for everyone!
It passed the HigherEd subcommittee, 6-0!
