On this day in 1951, Henrietta Lacks passed away from cervical cancer at just 31 years old. Her HeLa cells, taken without her knowledge or consent, went on to transform medical research and contribute to countless breakthroughs. Today, we honor Henrietta by remembering the woman behind the science and ensuring her name and legacy are never forgotten. Rest in Power.
Pres. Obama and Gov. Spanberger both SUPPORT the redistricting amendment. If you receive anything in the mail or via text telling you otherwise, IT IS A LIE - trash it, delete it, proceed directly to voting YES! https://t.co/OebUzBlRCK
Justice for Democracy PAC is sending out malicious, false, misleading, and lying text messages regarding the April 21st redistricting vote. They are saying that President Obama, Governor Spanberger, and newspapers are all saying vote No on the amendment. That is a LIE. This is a MAGA group desperate to cheat the process. Don’t guess; vote YES.
Trump’s FCC Chair Brendan Carr:
"PBS defunded. NPR defunded. ... Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership. And soon enough CNN is gonna have new ownership as well."
He’s bragging about this. Unreal
Reproductive freedom in Virginia has been safeguarded by Democratic leadership, but Trump’s Congress & SCOTUS are working overtime to roll back our rights. This November, abortion access is on the ballot. Virginians must make their voices heard to protect these freedoms.
.@VA_GOP are too scared to call out Trump for driving up gas prices - so they push a gimmick even ex-gov Youngkin admits won't work.
Fastest way to lower prices? Stop Trump and his reckless war of choice with Iran. Just vote YES!
"Hegseth Chief of Staff Ricky Buria chastised the Army secretary for selecting Maj. Gen. Antoinette R. Gant to take command of the Military District of DC... {He said} Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events."

Breaking: DOJ confirms Kash Patel's personal email has been hacked by Iranians, which he has used for FBI business.
This is just f***ing pathetic at this point. This moron has to go.
Response from @ssurovell:
“The Virginians I talk to are asking us to stand up to Trump, his power grabs and to end the constant damage to our state and economy caused by his lawless behavior instead of trying to help pay for his bad decisions.”
REP. @brotherjones_: “What in the world was going on today on the house floor? My Republican colleagues had a revival service on the house floor, during legislative session, in the Capitol… we have separation of church & state for a reason. Y’all gotta stop playing with God.”
During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑
It has gone largely unnoticed that the chief enforcement official, for the SEC, Margaret Ryan, left suddenly last week.
She had been restricted from investigating sketchy trades and investments involving the Trump family and close associates.
