“‘I'm a big believer in using our tax dollars to feed children,‘ said state Sen. Danica Roem, D-Prince William, the commission chair. ‘I think children eating food is a really good use of tax dollars, and I want to see more of it. You know why? Because children should be eating food.’” #valeg

Virginia decides school funding based on two formulas. The Standards of Quality and the Local Composite Index. When they fall short, every classroom experiences it. #FundTheGrade #KnowYourBallotVA #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/VQbEu1eS

Relative to the state’s GDP, Virginia has historically failed to invest in schools, but advocacy can change that reality. VEA members won a full repeal of the Support Cap. Proof organizing works! #FundTheGrade #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/7pZwRp5A

Front page, lead story. Self-inflicted by the industry. In ’27, the #Virginia General Assembly will have another chance to adopt my budget amendment to end the data center sales tax exemption. It‘ll be the 4th time in 4 years I’ll have filed it. The Senate adopted it in ‘26. Let’s pass it, #valeg.

Trump just slapped Canada with new 50% tariffs, sparking a potentially devastating tit-for-tat escalation. History shows us there are no winners in trade wars. Watch this video I made last year.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. Remember this.

Vouchers leech taxpayer dollars from the public school system—where 90% of students go—and redirect them to unaccountable institutions. Governors who support public education will not opt in.

Security costs are not part of that arrangement. Coordinating Secret Service and local law enforcement for an event with 5,000 invited guests and 100,000 people at a nearby outdoor viewing area falls entirely on American taxpayers.

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.
