Two last things before I shut up about this (I'm very annoyed, as you can tell). 1. This is a sad day for the legitimacy of our legal system. The Florida constitution explicitly says you can't gerrymander for partisan reasons, but everyone says they're all DeSantis stooges so they're just going to ignore it. But in Virginia, when the VOTERS FREAKING VOTED on a referendum, it's going to get thrown out on a technicality post hoc. This is not a system where rules are applied uniformly, and people have the right to be frustrated at this double standard.

Unlike GOP-led states that redrew their congressional maps in backroom deals, Virginia let the people decide. But the Virginia Supreme Court has blocked the people’s choice. So we have to campaign and win on their maps. We can do it!

First Lady Melania Trump suggested that AI robots could replace teachers. As a former educator, I know students need encouragement & learn best when they feel seen & supported. AI robots cannot replace that. In Virginia, we value our teachers & we invest in our students.

Gov. Spanberger on Trump’s State of the Union: “In his speech tonight, the president did what he always does. He lied, he scapegoated, and he distracted. And he offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges, so many of which he is actively making worse.”

.@SpanbergerForVA —just like most Americans—is clearly pissed and it shows. Americans are fed up with this administration and their plan to deny, deflect, and divide as President Trump enriches himself and protects the Epstein class. They’ve had enough.

Spanberger: His reckless trade policies have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 each in tariff costs. Even though the supreme court struck these tariffs down, the damage to the American people has been done. Meanwhile, the president is planning for new tariffs, another massive tax hike on you and your family and Republicans in congress—they remain unwilling to assert their constitutional authority to stop him. They're making your life harder. They're making your life more expensive.

Communities are safer when people have access to housing, health care, and can put food on the table. Look it up!

Tonight’s State of the Union was a reminder of what’s at stake for our country. As a Navy veteran, nurse practitioner, and mom, I believe America’s strength starts with safe communities, a strong military, a growing economy, and leaders who love our great country. We have challenges ahead — but we are the United States of America. When we lead with courage, accountability, and common sense, there is nothing we cannot achieve. 🇺🇸

Trump: “It was July 4th of last year, when flood waters tore through a girl’s summer camp in Central Texas. One of the worse things I’ve ever seen. I was there.” Fact check: Trump was not there. He was throwing a party on the White House South Lawn while children were missing.

President Trump presented the job market as robust during his State of the Union address, saying that more Americans are working today than at any time in the country’s history. The job market actually weakened last year as companies slowed hiring. on.wsj.com/3N3VTVb
