Tim Kaine is lifting Virginia families out of poverty

It’s a shame Hung Cao doesn’t agree.   Hey friend, Just last week, Republicans in the U.S. Senate blocked a bill that would expand the child tax credit and provide a tax break of more than $600 for thousands of Virginia families. Guess what Republican candidate is more than ready t…

But Glenn Youngkin doesn’t care.   Bad news, friend. Last week, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced he would be appointing Meg Scalia Bryce to the State Board of Education. Sound familiar? That’s because Meg is the youngest daughter of far-right former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anto…
