Governor Youngkin just vetoed the Right to Contraception Act. Access to birth control should never be up for debate.
We need a Governor who will protect our freedoms.

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

President Trump and Elon Musk promised taxpayers big savings. Now, as he prepares to step back from his presidential assignment to cut bureaucratic fat, Musk has said without providing details that DOGE is likely to save taxpayers only about 15% of what he originally pledged to save.

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

I sent a letter to federal employees as they weigh so-called “deferred resignation” offers. Since, a federal judge has temporarily paused these offers but it's possible they'll ultimately proceed. Here is my message to federal employees trying to figure out what to do:

Nobody elected Elon Musk. So why is Trump granting him all-access powers to get rid of funding for Medicaid, Social Security and more?! We need to get Musk's hands off our money and stop the Musk takeover NOW.

In that week when Musk bought Twitter & started bungling it, the possibility occurred to me that he'd bought it to end its usefulness as a pro-democracy tool. I'm so grateful for BlueSky & the fact that we're all here now & that it's increasing possible to get our news here too!
