Tonight voters chose pragmatism over partisanship. A stronger economy over divisive culture wars. They voted for steady leadership that focuses relentlessly on making their lives a bit better everyday. @SpanbergerForVA is ready to get to work.

In hindsight, the anti-vax movement will be seen as one of the most destructive and nonsensical mass fads of a destructive and nonsensical era.
Covid-19 vaccines, credited with saving millions of lives during the pandemic, set off a powerful alarm that rallies the human immune system against cancer and nearly doubles the median survival length of patients, according to a new retrospective study.

Stop. Lying. Congress had approved the funding in 2008, following a report from the administration of then-President George W Bush. News reports explained that the project aimed to modernize the White House’s aging infrastructure. It is therefore misleading to claim that Obama
🚨BREAKING: People are digging up a 2010 CNN clip showing Obama’s $376M White House makeover — all paid for by taxpayers. Meanwhile President Trump’s $250M ballroom is coming out of his own pocket. https://t.co/PSS2K8SJRJ

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Trump’s takeover."

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

Although I could not know it at the time, lessons he taught and counsel he gave that fall would, 49 years later, help me hurdle the biggest challenge of my life.

I’d like to congratulate @RyderCupEurope on their victory. Your team play the first few days was sensational. More importantly, I’d like to apologize for the rude and mean-spirited behavior from our American crowd at Bethpage. As a former player, Captain and as an American, I

Learn about the life of one of the most important figures in early American history, Dr. Joseph Warren, an architect of the colonial rebellion, and a man who might have led the country as Washington or Jefferson did had he not been martyred at Bunker Hill in 1775. Warren was

RFK Jr is pulling funding for mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses because of ideology and online anti vax talking points. mRNA Covid vaccines have been highly effective at reducing severity of infection and have saved millions of lives He's a dangerous anti vaccine fanatic.
We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted. BARDA is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu. We’re shifting that funding toward

Trump ruling by decree. Outside the bounds of American values and the law. Banana Republic stuff. Congress prostrate.
Firing the head of a key government agency because you don’t like the numbers they report, which come from surveys using long established procedures, is what happens in authoritarian countries not democratic ones. This is surely not the most serious threat to our democracy that

As Governor, I’ll work to strengthen Virginia’s trade relationships and create new opportunities for our local businesses. Unlike my opponent — who cheers on Donald Trump’s trade wars and job cuts — I’m prepared to put Virginia’s economy first.
