Michael Naccarelli is throwing the first pitch Friday at PNC Park. He has cancer. It's incurable. The disease also killed his mother and both of his brothers. His story is tragic, but also inspiring.

$267M would’ve gone directly to public schools.
With data center tax breaks, the school funding bucket never gets filled because tax revenue is being redirected.

That’s the budget hold up!! Once again, the Governor is wrong on the policy and knows Virginians will cook her if there is a government shutdown.
Also still waiting on your reforecast?
Regular people (you + I), pay Virginia's 4.3% sales tax on all purchases.
We buy a laptop, we pay sales tax.
Amazon buys warehouse-sized computer systems that power their entire operation, and pays $0 sales tax.

$15M for painting the Lincoln Reflecting Pool electric-blue.
$100M for a giant Arch named after Trump.
$1B for Trump’s ballroom.
If this administration is interested in rooting out government waste, they can take a look at Trump's taxpayer-funded vanity projects.
Labor unions on veto: "Shame. Governor Abigail Spanberger today betrayed half a million of Virginia’s public service workers by going back on her campaign promise to support collective bargaining rights for the people who keep our Commonwealth and communities running every day."
Spanberger responds to my question on the collective bargaining veto:
“I've been clear in my desire to be a governor who signs that bill into law, but also clear in what I consider my mandate, which is to get it right.”
Spanberger is holding a bill signing in Fairfax as SEIU staff members demonstrate outside. They say they’re angry and disappointed about the collective bargaining veto.
Governor Spanberger made a promise to Virginia's firefighters & first responders. She needs to keep it.
May 22nd is the deadline. @GovernorVA: your constituents need you to sign the collective bargaining bill.

Public service workers across Virginia are watching.
Teachers. Firefighters. Home care workers. Campus workers. State employees.
@GovernorVA has until May 22nd to give public workers a seat at the table.

.@KathyKLTran and @ssurovell release a statement on IG urging Spanberger to sign their "landmark legislation" to expand collective bargaining rights to over 500K public employees, say ban on public sector collective bargaining was "rooted in Virginia's Jim Crow legacy."
No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
In 2024, the 400 wealthiest Americans spent $600 million lobbying Congress.
They got $2 trillion in tax cuts.
That is the best ROI in human history. For them.
The time is now. Tax the rich.
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek!
