Remember, it wasn’t even a repeal of RTW, it was a repeal of the prohibition on public sector collective-bargaining

@SamsonSignori Maybe we’d have an easier time winning if your boss fought fascism

This is false. Let's focus on winning this November instead of whatever cooked up BS this is.
Ben Tribbett@notlarrysabato
I’m going to say something out loud that will help make sense of things in Virginia. Spanberger is planning primaries to all of Senate leadership. They are looking at candidates against Lucas, Deeds, Locke and Surovell. Everything else makes sense if you see what’s coming.

@shift_in2_turbo A thread on that here:

@shift_in2_turbo And a bill that would have required ICE to present judicial warrants at courthouses, schools, and hospitals.
Also, in VA it’s already illegal to wear a mask

She also vetoed a bill that would allow collective bargaining
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver
🚨 NEW: Gov. Spanberger signs bill banning ICE agents from wearing masks in Virginia.

…but then we drew the line at requiring ICE to get judicial warrants and banning them from entering schools, courtrooms, hospitals, and places of worship and that's where she lost me.

@LeighWolf @royermattw The supremacy clause does not eliminate the 4th amendment right from unreasonable search and seizure.
The state is fully within its rights to require a state-run institution ask for a warrant signed by a judge

The badness of homelessness is not owed to its ability to inconvenience commerce (on the mall, etc.), it’s the human suffering.
Whether homelessness is in your face or out of sight, it’s still an enormous issue.
Elliott Harding@Harding4VA
I mean it could be worse. A centralized camp site that’s not really bothering anybody. Way better than a lot of alternatives I guess…unless someone can cure homelessness, this is better than living in a box on the Mall imo.

If the DNC released their autoposy the Goldman campaign can release an internal poll
Simone Kanter@SimoneKanter
This poll is not remotely close to an accurate read of this race. The data we’ve seen shows a dead heat after messaging. Emerson is assuming an electorate that looks exactly like the once-in-a-generation turnout Mamdani mobilized when he was on the ballot, with approximately 50% higher youth turnout than a traditional midterm electorate. This model shows 82% of the electorate with a higher ed degree in a district with motivated working class communities spanning Chinatown, the Lower East Side, Sunset Park, and Borough Park that overwhelmingly support Dan. To say this would be unprecedented would be generous. Not for nothing but this same poll had Cuomo beating Mamdani by 10 and Maloney beating Nadler by 10. We know how both those turned out. Game on.

This is the most milquetoast BS ever man.

AYD's statement and call to action on Governor Spanberger's recent vetoes.

I think it’s a bad thing that we could’ve gotten a more accurate report with chat premium

No smoking gun, now can we please move on? I looked for keywords and the ones y’all were wanting aren’t in there 🤷🏽♀️

This is cope.
This is cope.
This is cope.
This is cope.
This is cope.
Legislators sending it back to her to not veto is them telling her there ARE no changes. It's entirely sound.
And SHE is opposing the Legislation.
Everyone hates her now. She's cooked.

For anyone confused about what is going on in Virginia right now:

@adammocklerr @SenLouiseLucas Dumbass careerists who have no real commitment to working people but instead to their own grift should get the same heat we give to our opposition.
It is their cowardice that allowed the fascism we face now.
English
@SenLouiseLucas Let’s save the unhinged energy for Republicans
Micah is a good faith young dem in your state who is very supportive and trying to help people understand what’s going on
English
You are funny by half thinking you need to explain this to us. After 34 years in the legislature I don’t need to learn the process from a chopped first year law student.

This feels emblematic of the entire Democratic Party right now. Deliver less than you promise, pat yourself on the back for it and then attack anyone who is even remotely critical of the backtrack on key issues- especially if those people are pushing you to do more
Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg@ScVanValkenburg
Weirdo lefty thinks constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights and creating automatic rights restoration, increasing minimum wage, increasing housing and energy supply, pbm reform, paid family and medical leave, and gun violence prevention legislation is breadcrumbs …

Shannon Taylor@ShannonTaylorVA
I am honored to have Senator @MarkWarner's endorsement in this race. Senator Warner has spent his career fighting to lower costs, create opportunity, and deliver for Virginia families -- and I’m ready to work alongside him to do the same in Congress. Together, we can flip VA-01!

Now here is the bill the Governor wanted them to pass.
Notice any differences?

This is the bill that advocates, community members, and members of the GA worked hard to produce.

And @SpanbergerForVA vetoes this bill, her veto statement 👇 #valeg
