When we let wrongful convictions stand, innocent people are left in prison for crimes they didn't commit — while the real offender evades accountability and remains a threat to our community.
Fairfax DA Steve Descano@FairfaxCountyCA

We know that the criminal legal system isn't perfect — and when mistakes are made, our community loses confidence in it. That's why our Conviction Integrity Unit is so important: not only to remedy past injustices, but to build back public trust in our legal system.

Reminder that when Democrats get brushed off the plate by obvious bad-faith (and false!) “soft on crime” scare tactics, we end up with this. Congrats to the U.S. Senators who tried to pander to people who were never going to vote for you no matter what. ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/em…

The Thomas Edison of our time—inventing shit that existed when Edison was still alive. These type of guys’ whole game is to “reimagine” stuff that’s existed for decades and charge you 3 times as much for half the quality. jalopnik.com/1923966/tesla-…

If we’re gonna run back the Gilded Age can we at least get railroads and fat politicians in striped pants?

🚨As a mayor, I know leadership starts on the ground—and no one understands that better than @PeteButtigieg. I’m proud to have his endorsement in our campaign for Lieutenant Governor. Mayors know how to lead—and it’s time to bring that experience statewide.

This morning's news was difficult to hear. Gerry Connolly wasn't just a Northern Virginia icon, but a friend. I count myself lucky, as a Fairfax County resident, to have benefited from his decades of leadership – a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.

Early voting starts today in Virginia— I hope you’ll join me and vote for @LevarStoney. As my Secretary of the Commonwealth, he helped restore civil rights to 200,000 Virginians. As Richmond’s Mayor, he raised teacher pay & expanded affordable housing. He’s a fighter for justice, opportunity, & second chances. Virginia needs his leadership. Let’s go win this 🔥🇺🇸🗳️

For over 30 years, Gerry Connolly has championed Fairfax County and Northern Virginia’s most pressing issues. As both a constituent, and as a friend, I’ll deeply miss his leadership and unwavering commitment to our community.

The DOJ's Civil Rights Division was founded in 1957. It's one of the reasons I was inspired to serve as a federal prosecutor under President Obama. Now, 60+ years later, the Trump admin is destroying one of the most powerful institutions dedicated to fighting discrimination.

Everyone is focused on the economic impacts of tariffs, but it goes beyond just that.

This bill incentivizes members of our community to reintegrate into society, increasing public safety. I'm glad to see legislators reaching across the aisle to improve our justice system, and I'm hopeful the Governor signs it. - SD virginiamercury.com/2025/02/25/unl…

As Republicans try to justify their rampant Constitutional violations, my only hope is that the Supreme Court will see this for what it is: a disgraceful attempt by far-right actors to assume even more unchecked power.

Miyares has proved, time and time again, that he is nothing more than a lapdog of Trump and the MAGA movement. It's become painfully obvious that he cares more about currying favor with the President than he does about his constituents.
