🚨 WOW. The Democratic Socialists of America co-chair just gave these terrifying answers for the ENTIRE nation to see Q: Government ownership of most large corporations? DSA: Absolutely. Q: Abolish prisons: DSA: Yeah. Q: Abolish borders, give amnesty to anyone currently in the US illegally? DSA: Yep. Q: Abolish the Senate? DSA: True. Q: Replace the presidency and Supreme Court? DSA: Yep. Q: Abolish ICE? DSA: Absolutely Q: Defund the Pentagon? DSA: Absolutely. THIS IS THE DEMOCRATS OF 2026. They must lose in November and never achieve power again!

"I said what I said. I think it's kinda common sense." THIS. You don't need a groveling apology and promises to "educate yourself". It's as simple as saying exactly what Sophie did. Her and Clark are the best things to happen to the WNBA, bar none.

She conveniently omits a few details. Despite Virginia already having very liberal abortion law, this proposed constitutional amendment would: ❌Obliterate parental notification and parental consent for minors ❌Ban common sense health & safety regulations for clinics ❌Allow the latest of late-term abortion with no medical rationale ❌Open the floodgates for transgender procedures for minors
Four years ago today, the Dobbs decision sent reproductive rights into chaos across this country.

But here in Virginia is making a different choice.

While other states across the South and across the country rolled back rights, Virginia is moving forward — protecting access to contraception, to IVF, to the right to a safe and legal abortion.

BREAKING: Lancaster Judge grants preliminary injunction barring Virginia State Police from enforcing the assault weapons ban that was set to take effect on July 1. The injunction lasts until Dec. 31 or until a final order is released. @CourthouseNews

Virginia Democrats gave teachers an 8% raise over the next two years. They gave themselves an 184% raise. WOW.

Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent thinks that federal law requires schools to allow biological men to share locker rooms with girls. I’m struggling to find that federal law.

President Trump just signed $100 million in funding for child exploitation investigations to save kids from s*x trafficking. Every single Democrat voted against it. Thank you President Trump! 🇺🇸

Nearly 30% of Virginia’s budget is going to Medicaid. As we wait for Democrats to balance the budget, now would be the perfect time to investigate and root out any fraud. Working families deserve to know their tax dollars are not being stolen.
It's impossible to notice that almost all Medicaid home health care providers are foreign. This is not a coincidence, it's a systematic op. Medicaid companies share addresses with charities that send money to Nepal–one to fund parties at the president of Nepal's house.

Virginia Democrat’s own lead strategist, @SenLouiseLucas’ Ben Tribbett, admits that @GovernorVA Spanberger’s signing of the paid family leave bill is a HUGE tax increase for VA taxpayers and businesses. Unpaid for, as Abby vetoed other new tax revenue streams. Affordability lies

This you? @HelmerVA Threatening a SCOVA justice for ruling according to the state constitution? A justice nominated by a Democrat, no less? Even if they hadn’t overturned the district you drew, you were never going to win. And you never will because you’re a miserable toad.
Delegate Helmer has publicly threatened Justice Kelsey because of the redistricting amendment. This is the most extreme example of judicial intimidation I have ever seen from a sitting Virginia legislator. The equation is simple / rule against us = lose your job. If they make an example of a Supreme Court justice - every lower judge is on notice that if you stop democrats - you will be fired. This is the beginning of the end. Courts will be ATMs for the politics of the party In power. This can’t stand. The party of “democracy” is literally destroying judicial autonomy. This violates the separation of powers principles more than anything we have ever seen. Dan and his thugs in the General Assembly need to be sued. Just so happens I have some free time.

Today is May 16th. It’s been 63 days since the General Assembly adjourned, and the Democrats still cannot agree on a state budget. A shutdown is 45 days away.

The US Supreme Court has denied Democrats' request for a stay on the redistricting case. "Application (25A1240) for stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied." supremecourt.gov/docket/dock…

I asked Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano why it took a congressional hearing for him to finally apologized to angel mom Cheryl Minter.

We might have won at the Virginia Supreme Court but make no mistake — this fight is far from over. Governor "Bait & Switch" Spanberger, Louise Lucas, Don Scott, and the rest of the Richmond Democrats are still advancing an agenda that threatens Virginia families, small businesses, and communities across our Commonwealth. They are not done. And neither are we. That's why today I'm launching Commonwealth Comeback — a new state PAC built from the ground up to fight back. Commonwealth Comeback is different. Every dollar raised goes directly to: - Strengthening conservative grassroots networks in EVERY community - Recruiting, training, and supporting conservative candidates at every level - Taking on the tough fights and defeating far-left candidates NO salaries. NO consultants. NO TV ads. Just direct financial investments into the grassroots conservative movement that will win Virginia back. Virginia's best days are ahead — but only if we're willing to fight for them. The comeback starts now. I hope you'll join me. CommonwealthComeback.com

The abortion amendment that democrats are seeking to pass in VA is a human traffickers’ dream. It allows them to take young girls to get abortions w/o parental consent, keeping them enslaved & undetected. For this reason & many others, it must be stopped in November by voting NO.
