Proud to be on Capitol Hill to watch Senator @timkaine 's leadership in action as his bill, SB 5046, passed committee. The bill protects students with disabilities by keeping responsibility for special education in the U.S. Dep. of Ed, where it belongs. Thank you, Sen. Kaine!

This bill was a complete disaster for VA & the USA - it's no wonder Trump and the GOP isn't celebrating - VA taxpayers are already forking out big dollars to make up for it and the big bill comes due next year when the Medicaid cuts hit @SenLouiseLucas @CreighDeeds @SenatorLocke

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections. What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

A rainbow formed outside of the Kennedy Center as Trump’s name is being removed from the building. If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is!

When Gov. Spanburger vetoed SB335/HB246 she extinguished 6 yrs of hard work by disability and criminal justice advocates. The bill was a narrow, targeted reform designed to recognize that disability-related behaviors can be misunderstood as aggression or noncompliance by LEO.
Yesterday we addressed Governor @SpanbergerForVA’s veto of bills to protect individuals with autism, mental illness, dementia, and intellectual and developmental disabilities, along with other statewide advocates for this vulnerable group of people: justiceforwardva.com/blog/20…

.@GerryConnolly @MarkWarner @SenTimKaine NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.Medicaid is a lifeline! People with disabilities rely on Medicaid for health care and services to support them in their daily lives. Any cuts to Medicaid hurt those who rely on it. #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectHCBS

We join in thanking Senator Boysko @JenniferBoysko and Delegate Watts for protecting autistics and others from disproportionally harmful felony convictions.
