Thank you for the profile in yesterday's F2S, @MartinDAuthor! "I’m running because I want to have the job not only to hold the line for our Democratic values, but also move the ball forward and bring people back together..." (1/2)

If it felt uncomfortable to watch on TV as a bunch of Members of Congress act like blind drunk hecklers at a basement comedy show, it felt 10x creepier in the chamber.
What a disgrace. What a terrible example for our kids.

This proposal would skyrocket costs and hurt hardworking Virginia families.

Sadly, local news media keeps declining, at the same time as misinformation spreads like wildfire on social media. If you believe that democracy depends on an informed citizenry, this is very bad news. bluevirginia.us/2023/01/sund… h/t @drsfarnsworth @MartinDAuthor

This is a terrible development. One of the best things about Fredericksburg's cash-starved local paper was its revived - and now shuttered -- local editorial and opinion pages that Marty oversaw.

“School choice is a grift that preys on unsuspecting parents’ emotions. And as the past 20 years under conservative reform policies have shown, it’s a grift that isn’t working.”

Two years ago today, the @CapitolPolice and the @DCPoliceDept saved our democracy and our lives — and I’m forever grateful to them.

The conservative attack on Critical Race Theory is sometimes dismissed as political theater. But after Florida passed an anti-CRT law, one university's sociology department canceled its three courses on race. Here's my report: propublica.org/article/desan…

Sen. Mark Warner: "This is great progress for protecting marriage, but if SCOTUS overturns Obergefell, Virginia will still have a ban on same sex marriage on the books. It’s past time to get that ban overturned." bluevirginia.us/2022/12/tues…

It should be a fascinating R primary for the new (no-incumbent) Fredericksburg area #Virginia senate seat next year.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin vowed to reimburse businesses and individuals who paid “unjust” fines for violating state coronavirus restrictions, a move that comes as fellow Republicans have turned a shutdown-defying grilled cheese eatery into a cause celebre. wapo.st/3h91Jom
