From attacks on mail-in voting to his $5,000 attempted bribery, it’s obvious that Trump is desperate and knows he’s going to lose in November.

Trump tried to weaponize the U.S. Postal Service against voters just weeks before the start of the midterm elections. Tonight’s SCOTUS decision is a win for democracy and the millions of Americans who vote securely by mail every year. apnews.com/article/trum...

Thank you Fairfax Young Dems and Team Central Braddock for a great canvass launch this weekend! I’m grateful for our volunteers who are stepping up ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

Trump wants to be the main character in every room and wants Virginia voters to act like he’s on the ballot this year. I agree. He’s on the ballot because Virginia Republicans are with him 100%. They chose loyalty to Trump over Virginia jobs.

Twenty-five years ago today, I was a freshman at NYU. I still remember the smoke and the smell that engulfed Lower Manhattan, the fear and confusion, and watching first responders run toward unimaginable danger (1/4).

Thanks to the Harrisonburg and Rockingham Dems for an amazing Labor Day celebration and tribute to working people last night! We’re ready to re-elect Sen. Warner, elect Beth Macy, and re-elect the incredible Democrats on the Harrisonburg City Council.

A whistleblower just blew the lid off Trump’s USPS ballot scheme: one single error could wipe out 10,000 ballots at a time (1/2).

We had an incredible group of high school interns join our campaign this summer! Huge thanks to them for all of their hard work and enthusiasm ahead of this year’s election.

@jennmcclellanva.bsky.social and I are proud to stand with @joyforcongress.bsky.social in her campaign for Virginia’s 9th District. Joy is a fourth-generation cattle farmer, born and raised in Southwest Virginia, running because her community deserves someone who will fight for them.

Trump’s tariffs—including a trade war with our ally Canada—are costing the average American family $2,500 a year. Trump is playing games while you pay the price.

Trump’s ongoing trade war with Canada is driving up the cost of groceries, cars, and lumber. His priority today? Claiming to rename a lake.

Donald Trump voted by mail. But he wants to stop you from voting by mail. The Supreme Court’s preliminary decision allowing Trump to restrict mail-in voting is a direct attack on our rights just weeks before the midterms. apnews.com/article/trum...

Judge removes one hurdle for Trump mail voting order as states file new challenge before midterms

A federal judge has lifted a major obstacle to President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail voting, but Democratic state officials are already filing a new court challenge with the midterm e...

I’m proud to support Councilmember Anthony Amos as he kicks off his reelection campaign for Fairfax City Council! In his first term, Anthony has developed a reputation for showing up, listening, and working to expand affordable housing options (1/2).

What a great way to celebrate 10 years of Network NOVA’s Women’s Summit. For a decade, this community has shown what’s possible when women organize, build coalitions, and refuse to sit on the sidelines. As we head into the fights ahead, that work matters more than ever.

Virginia is on the front lines of the fight to flip the House this November and bring down costs for working families. Yesterday I brought together Democrats from across the region to support Shannon Taylor (VA-01), Elaine Luria (VA-02), and Tom Perriello (VA-05) in their campaigns for Congress.

You have to hand it to Karoline Leavitt. She was an effective spokesperson for Donald Trump.

“Whatever” seems to be Trump’s governing philosophy lately. Less than 100 days from the midterm elections, voters will render their verdict.

Last week’s bombshell report revealed that Elon Musk’s DOGE committed fraud against the American people, so I called on the DOGE Subcommittee to subpoena him. I’m not letting him off the hook. The question is whether House Republicans will.

Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee just told on themselves. They admit they won’t check Trump—then vote to hand his personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, total control of the DOJ.

Congratulations to my friend Don Beyer on a resounding and well-deserved victory in today’s 8th District Democratic Primary. Don fights for Virginia with his heart, soul, and significant intellect.

JUST IN: Rep. Don Beyer wins nomination in 8th Congressional District Democratic primary

Tonight, Virginia Democrats nominated four fighters to flip four districts: Shannon Taylor (VA-01), Elaine Luria (VA-02), Tom Perriello (VA-05), and Joy Powers (VA-09).

The DNC made the right call today. Virginia reflects all of what makes America great and will test the character, ability, and vision of contenders for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

6 deaths. Thousands of violent encounters. 22,000 ICE officers. Only ONE officer has faced discipline. When the message from the Oval Office is “no consequences,” this is what you get. A federal agency operating with total impunity.

Yes. Yes, I do.

Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General will be complicit in the cover-up of the Epstein files.

Let me get this straight. Trump said that China pulled off “the largest compromise of election data in history.” Now he shrugs it off. But American election officials who won’t comply with his demands? His administration is threatening them with prison (1/2).

Trump and his Administration are “planemaxxing” while the American people are maxing out their credit cards to afford the rising costs created by his failed war in Iran.
