Just to decode Thune’s remarks for you: “Spending” means cutting spending, “entitlement reform” means cuts to programs such as food stamps & Medicaid, and “growth & the economy” means hampering growth and sabotaging the economy. @SenateDems@johnthune@JoeBiden@WSJ@Forbes
By attacking America's economy, they take food off families’ tables, force cutbacks in state & local services, punish small businesses & create a vicious cycle of austerity & anemic recovery in the rest of the country, hoping Americans blame Biden for all of it. @SpeakerPelosi
Refusing to authorize a new stimulus is an attack on America's economy. Trying to limit that stimulus to far less than what is needed is an attack on America's economy. Threatening blackmail is an attack on America's economy. It is the #GOP attacking our economy. @WSJ@Forbes

These are permanent hits to VA economy, does NOT INCLUDE ACTUAL $ COST of physical DAMAGES or restoration/rebuild costs, which should be determined. @VirginiaBiz@VASenateDems@GovernorVA#RVA
#RVA@RTDNEWS@NBC12 Judge Reilly Marchant must be re-elected in a yr by VA GA, now controlled by far left lib Dems, so his decisions are guided by his own survival instincts. Kingsport, TN native Ed Ayers made a career of trashing Virginia & it cost him presidency of UR. @CBS6
Ayers & I are peers. He started teaching history at UVA same year I started teaching chemistry at UR, 1980. He remained in academia. My path led to the real world - in industry, where I spent 20 years, &had an epiphany. Business IS the creation of wealth! @rvabizsense#RVA
I don't object to monument removal, IF done legally by due process & IN ACCORDANCE WITH The Law, not in response to emotional accusatory canards demonizing those with opposing views. That kind of cynical divisiveness is on the ballot at all levels next week. #RVA@VASupremeCt
#StoneyLied about @kimgray4rva position on Monuments since he appointed her co-chair of MonAvCommission. He approved recommendations of Commission -removeDavis , add context, & ADD statues of AfricanAmericans- The Fourteen AA union soldiers who received Medals of Honor. #RVA
I watch the #rvacouncil meetings. Kim opposed the restaurant tax which harmed these small businesses #RVA restaurants
If confused by the Amendment debate, read this statement of its content. Those opposing it late seek confusion to delay. Read for yourselves. The Voting Rights Act IS IN IT by NAME. VOTE YES. #RVA@NAACP@PostOpinions@FreePressRVA Levine omits this fact. ballotpedia.org/Virginia_Quest…
#RVA@RTDOpinions 2/It says "Every electoral district shall be drawn in accordance with the requirements of federal and state laws that address racial and ethnic fairness, including the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States &
3/"provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, & judicial decisions interpreting such laws. Districts shall provide, where practicable, opportunities for racial & ethnic communities to elect candidates of their choice." This is the actual amendment language #RVA
@RTDNEWS Stoney's record #RVA
1.Stoney’s first major action after becoming mayor was to fire the City Auditor who told him that RPS & City accounts needed a forensic audit. Response: Stoney fired him. Very Trumpian.Very telling about his business dealings. @FreePressRVA@CBS6
2. Stoney violated procurement procedures to build new schools, awarded the bids to crony-donors, a pattern. Discovered by Virginia Association of Contractors filing a FOIA to get documents contract bids. Costs to build them were 30-50% higher than they should be. #RVA@RTDNEWS
3.Stoney's anti-business administration drove hundreds of large businesses & laboratories out of RVA around the BioTech Park, MCV and Jackson Ward - all in a HUBZONE we had endeavored to get to regenerate Jackson Ward. These were middle class jobs. #RVA@RTDNEWS@CBS6
