Governor-elect Spanberger won by the largest margin of any Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Virginia since the parties realigned during integration, with broad support that overcame differences of age, race, gender, and political affiliation.

It's hard to overstate the scope of Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s victory.
I congratulate and thank the candidates, their staffs and volunteers, and all whose tireless efforts made this happen.
My statement on Virginia's historic election results:
beyer.house.gov/news/documen...
The Trump Administration is legally required to pay every federal worker at the end of any shutdown without exception. The law is not ambiguous, it clearly bars this wanton cruelty and if Trump pursues it he will lose.
Trump is now threatening to starve 42 million Americans, in violation of law and court orders, after spending the weekend holding lavish parties with his rich donors.
Unspeakably cruel and corrupt, and all the Republicans in Congress can say is "I didn't see that."
America should not go to war with Nigeria.
We should not go to war with Venezuela.
We should not invade Mexico or Iran.
Trump should stop trying to start more wars and focus on helping struggling Americans.
States, Democrats in Congress, and now federal judges have one message to Trump: follow the law and fund SNAP.

Trump’s tariffs are scaring away more than just jobs.
Mike Johnson just cancelled votes in the House for next week, the seventh week in a row of recess. Republicans' ongoing vacation in the middle of a government shutdown continues.
Democrats are willing to work to end this shutdown, fund SNAP, and get our government running again.
This is my call to House Republicans – stop the vacation, let’s get back to work. Families with mouths to feed count on it.

New Guidance Provided to Cover November SNAP Benefits; What You Need to Know

"If we had a contingency fund."
You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
Millions of American families stand to go hungry as federal workers miss paychecks and the Trump Administration refuses cover food stamp aid after Nov. 1.
Democrats are ready to address this crisis. Donald Trump and Republicans need to do their job and negotiate a compromise.
I have legislation to remove penalties on TSP withdrawals, and cosponsored @repsuhas.bsky.social' bill to make similar changes for federal contractors, but obviously nothing is passing in the House right now with the Republican recess at six weeks and counting.

Sharing a helpful resource for federal workers considering borrowing from their Thrift Savings Plan to help pay the bills during the shutdown:

The civil war in Sudan, a massive humanitarian crisis, is getting even worse with the fall of El Fasher in Darfur to the RSF. Enabled by the UAE, this brutal militia has committed awful war crimes. The US must work to end outside RSF support, surge aid delivery, and seek peace.
Mike Johnson and other Republicans claim that these rising health care costs can just be fixed later.
That's false. Every day lost will make it harder to prevent price increases. Congress must act now to extend these tax credits, not wait until December.
open.substack.com/pub/repdonbe...
As key health care tax credits are set to expire, millions will see their plans go up by thousands of dollars.
The Trump tax cuts were also set to expire at the end of 2025. But, Republicans rushed to extend these tax cuts for the wealthy – paid for by slashing health care.
