Next year, 300,000+ Virginians are likely to lose their Medicaid because of Trump’s cuts. It’s unconscionable. While Trump gets billions richer, he purposefully strips Americans of their health care. We MUST reverse these cuts.

Maybe we should do something about billionaires buying our elections…
Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

So the third-largest company on the planet is willing to cut 27% of its workforce due to AI, its stock rises on the news, and I’m supposed to believe this technology is great for the future of humanity?
Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000(!) employees. Headcount and revenue growth is really starting to diverge at tech companies.

Gentrification is caused by lack of development. If you place a limit on new housing, then you have a fixed population which will get replaced by newcomers. You have to build to accommodate population growth

This week, FEMA leadership and the Trump administration signaled that states may soon be expected to handle more disasters with less federal assistance. During our Joint Subcommittee on Recurrent Flooding this week, I asked VDEM whether Virginia is financially and operationally prepared for this possibility. This is exactly why passing Delegate @AlexAskew757 HB 169 was so important this year. We must assess our emergency management needs and prepare for a future where states shoulder more responsibility. lis.virginia.gov/bill-detail…

Since Jan. 2025, City Council President @CynthiaNewbille has ignored dozens of questions on tax rates, personnel decisions, free speech issues, code violations & more. Her silence is "very unusual" and puts Council at a "disadvantage," Bob Holsworth says. richmond.com/news/local/gove…
