The American people should decide who represents them in Congress. Not Donald Trump or his corrupt sycophants. Vote YES on or before April 21 in Virginia to stop the MAGA power grab!

@_sn_n Would love seeing the numbers on that. Given the amount of government workers in Nova, along with other things like the metro. My guess would be quite the opposite is true if anything.

@AmanitaFugax So they’re just going to pay more money for inferior equipment just to stick it to Trump?😂😂 sure showed America. I’m sure all of these countries citizens will be happy to have their taxes increased to cover not having American protection too. Genius.

I don’t think Republicans recognize what they’ve done; our allies who have stood by us for ~80 years revile us. They may never appreciate the gravity of what they’ve done, but this is a paradigm shift. The era of a united west led by the US is dead, and we’re all worse off.

PM Carney says the days of sending 70 cents of every dollar in military spending to the United States are over and gets a standing ovation

@ElaineLuria You voted yes to disenfranchise half the state. Unfit to hold any office.

@llllllukew @glenn_tunes Well yeah, could also argue in the graphic that plenty of those countries have had direct threats from terror groups in the Middle East as well. So the “doing nothing” is a bit of a stretch.

@aRandomCentrist @glenn_tunes WW1 fair enough, although you did join right at the very end and lost a fraction of what the allies but fair. However in WW2 you outright refused to send troops to help Europe. You were dragged in because Japan attacked you and Germany declared war

@llllllukew @glenn_tunes Those two giant world wars. Obviously ignoring the arbitrary “since 9/11”.

Donald Trump and corrupt MAGA politicians are trying to rig the midterm elections by gerrymandering red states like Texas, North Carolina and Missouri. Virginia voters have the opportunity to respond decisively. #StopTrumpVoteYesVA

@JoshKraushaar Very typical. Disenfranchise people whenever they can to get what they want. Entire party didn’t even get a say on who ran on the ticket for potus.

The Atlantic: “Democrats in Virginia desperately want permission from voters to gerrymander the state beyond recognition. They also want Virginians to know how profoundly sorry they are to have to ask” theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

The Republican lies about what's going on in Virginia are getting insane. Here is what Virginia Democrats have *actually* done so far: - Passed paid family and sick leave - Set the minimum wage to increase incrementally to 15 dollars an hour - Legalized manufactured housing statewide - Cracked down on PBMs ripping off consumers - Enhanced school's ability to prevent mass shootings - Invested in new energy technology, including nuclear fusio - Made permitting easier for new transmission lines - Supported the creation of new electric vehicle charging stations - Made state tax filing free for all Virginians - Cut fees for veterans

If you want to see what will happen if you vote Democrat in 2026, look no further than Virginia. Run on the lie of affordability. When they win, they’ll terminate 287(g) agreements, refuse to prosecute illegal aliens, and look to raise taxes in every form imaginable.

@robertgmack @POLITICOEurope Not really, politicians are aware he’s got another 2 years and they’ll never have to deal with him again. The general public, not so much. I’m not a Trump fan but am genuinely having a hard time seeing the point of the US being in NATO anymore.

@aRandomCentrist @POLITICOEurope Yes, although Trump has single-handedly blown apart America's standing in the free world. The US has never been so distrusted and ridiculed. It's shocking and sad.

Donald Trump’s anger at NATO allies for refusing to join the war against Iran has so far achieved one thing: uniting them against him. politico.eu/article/donald…

I voted YES to redistricting to help level the playing field & make sure Virginians can fight back against Trump's power grab. This TEMPORARY measure will help balance out the President's direct call on Red states to find him more seats. I hope you will join me and VOTE YES!

@robertgmack @POLITICOEurope Meanwhile the US subsidizes European defense spending more than the rest of NATO combined while also providing the most aid to other countries. See why we’re sick of everyone?

@POLITICOEurope I'd go further and say that the vast majority of civilised nations now no longer consider the US to be an ally.
