Trump’s chaos machine is already rolling. Here’s why Virginia must hold the line.
We’ve seen the writing on the wall.
Over the past month, Donald Trump has appointed extremists and loyalists as leaders in his new administration. From an anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overseeing public health, to Kremlin apologist Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, Trump's team is designed to dismantle progress and consolidate power.
What does it mean for Virginia? Everything is at stake.
Our Democratic majority is the last line of defense against a GOP that would rubber-stamp Trump’s agenda — slashing healthcare, restricting voting rights, banning abortion access across the South, and undermining national security by appointing partisan extremists.
Virginia has been a beacon of progress: protecting reproductive freedom, expanding Medicaid, and standing up for democracy. These cabinet appointments threaten our progress on a national level.
