THREAD: In 2018 VA was the second hardest state to vote in. In 2020 @VAHouseDems, @VASenateDems, & @GovernorVA passed sweeping legislation to expand access to the ballot. In 2021 they continued to make voter protection a priority. #ElectionsMatter Look at some of the progress👇🏾🗳
Coworkers: What did you do this weekend?
Me: Made some Michael Jackson videos with my cat.
Coworkers: Cats cannot perform to a Michael Jackson song?!
My Cat:
WATCH: After promising Virginians for months that she would not vote for @GOPLeader to be House Speaker if elected to Congress, @yestoyesli flips the script (again), and kissed the ring of the House Minority Leader in a last-ditch effort to resurrect her failing campaign.
I stood on the House Floor to deliver an uncomfortable truth: the Governor & other MAGA Republicans aren't pro-life, they're pro-cruelty. From healthcare to housing, from voting rights to gun violence, their policies are inflicting harm, not saving lives. https://t.co/b3wgqFW4LJ
WATCH: @JenKiggans calls abortion a “shiny object,” says that abortion isn’t an issue “voters really care about.”
Well Jen, our rights aren’t just “shiny objects.”
.@GlennYoungkin has decided to leave Virginia to stump for an unabashed racist in Maine. He chooses to ignore the Virginians that spoke out in favor of reproductive freedom today but instead uplifts extreme MAGA Gubernatorial candidate, Paul Lepage.
🧵Debunking the VAGOP's repeated lies:
POLITI-FACT: "The only actual tax increases in the bill are levied directly on very large corporations and high-earning money managers."
Anchored by intellectual rigor, compassion and fortitude, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson joins the U.S. Supreme Court and the annals of history. We are grateful for service that brought her here and the work yet to come. Congratulations, America! #KetanjiBrownJackson#SCOTUS
And it’s (finally) official!! Associate Justice Jackson is the 1st Black woman to be confirmed to #SCOTUS which means the first time in U.S. history, white men aren’t the majority on the Supreme Court!!

This vote won’t change until we flip the House. Plenty of *bipartisan* votes to pass it on the floor, but Republicans don’t believe in letting all their members vote.
Little wonder they care even less about Virginians.
The smear tactics used in testimony this morning were shameful; saying it would lead to polygamy, child marriage, bigamy, etc.
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈I stand with the Virginians who believe love is love, are pro family and pro marriage, and who want VA to be a welcoming place for everyone.🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
