65 years ago, Virginia Union University students began one of Virginia’s first sit-ins. Inspired by the Greensboro Four and a visit from Dr. King, they sat at the Woolworth’s whites-only lunch counter. Management closed the counter to avoid serving them. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2025

USDA tries to reverse mistaken firing of bird flu response workers

The department is trying to rehire the employees as avian influenza causes egg prices to soar and as Elon Musk’s DOGE makes sweeping cuts to government agencies.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

The Trump Administration’s reckless federal workforce purge is putting our nation in serious danger. 🔗⬇️

In 2012, the late Sen. Henry Marsh and I passed legislation honoring the first Black Virginia legislators with a plaque in the Virginia Capitol. As chairs of the Virginia MLK Commission, we made sure their stories were told.

24 Black men were delegates to the convention that passed the Virginia Constitution of 1868, which allowed Virginia to be readmitted into the Union. During Reconstruction, over 120 Black men served in the Virginia General Assembly. #BHM2025

The Republican Rip Off

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

The bottom line: these Republican efforts to gut popular and essential services won’t help the American people. Nearly every person will be worse off for it. @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand ready to develop a budget plan that ensures every person gets the support they need.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

Trump and House Republicans also seek to eliminate the Department of Education and cut federal funding to public education. Rural communities in Virginia could see 25% or more of their funds go away if they stop receiving federal support. ⬇️

Who is the most dependent on federal education funding? Mostly rural localities.

Trump wants to eliminate the Department of Education. The real question, though, is what happens to federal education spending. Many rural localities get 20% or more of their funds through Washington.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

The effects don’t just stop at health care. The Republican budget cuts threaten access to food for nearly 50,000 VA-04 residents who receive SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

Who could lose coverage? Elderly and disabled adults. Individuals who need breast or cervical cancer treatment. Pregnant and postpartum mothers. People with disabilities, chronic health conditions and behavioral needs. The impacts would be felt across the Commonwealth.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

In Virginia’s Fourth, 138,742 people are enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. Nearly half of them are under the age of 19. These Republican budget cuts would put all of these people at risk.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

The Republican budget plan would cut Medicaid, meaning more expensive and less accessible health care. This imperils 1.4 million people in Virginia who rely on Medicaid for health care. 30.9% of all children. 62% of people living in nursing homes. 17.1% of all Virginians.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

The Trump Administration and House Republicans are calling for extreme budget cuts that will hurt countless different popular and essential services. What do these cuts mean for YOU? 🧵

Editorial: Region is ready for snowfall thanks to the National Weather Service

Hampton Roads is ready for the possibility of heavy snow thanks to the National Weather Service, which President Trump and Elon Musk have in their crosshairs.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 19(source)

Ahead of the winter storm slated to hit Virginia later today, NWS Wakefield VA is providing Virginia residents with the information we need to prepare. If Trump and Elon Musk had their way, @nws.noaa.gov wouldn’t exist — and families would be left without access to weather updates.

Over ten thousand of you dialed in to my Tele-Town Hall last week, where I discussed your concerns over the Trump Administration’s attacks on our federal workforce, funding cuts and more. Whether you attended this one or weren’t able to make it, stay tuned for my next Tele-Town Hall!

Veteran says her mammogram was canceled due to VA staffing shortage following layoffs

Hampton Roads veteran says VA appointment canceled because of staffing shortage; cancelation comes on heels of mass layoff of VA employees

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 18(source)

The Trump Administration’s hiring freeze and purge of 1,000 VA employees now impacts veteran access to health care as appointments get cancelled due to staffing shortages. Veterans already struggle to access care. Trump puts their lives further at risk.

Screenshot of article from WTKR titled, “Veteran says her mammogram was canceled due to VA staffing shortage following layoffs.”

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 18(source)

Trump wants to close the Department of Education. In VA-04, this would cost our schools millions of dollars. Rep. Jahana Hayes discussed how @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back to ensure every child gets the high-quality education they deserve.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govFeb 18(source)

❄️ ALERT: A winter storm is on track to hit VA-04 Wednesday into Thursday. Make sure your home is adequately equipped for snow, prepare your car, and check NWS Wakefield VA for updates.

Screenshot of a tweet from @NWSWakefieldVA that reads “❄️A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the entire area for Wednesday into Thursday. The heaviest snow looks to fall across SE VA/NE NC with lighter totals NW. Additionally, a light glaze of ice is still possible across NE NC.❄️#vawx #ncwx #mdwx”
