Patrick Mosolf calls on voters to throw Jen Kiggans out for failing to denounce racially offensive comments
Virginia Beach- Patrick Mosolf, VA-02 candidate and former federal employee with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), international aid professional,
“It’s time to elect a new representative for VA-02. Jen Kiggans’ agreement with her interviewer’s comments suggests incompetence and negligence, or even worse an unconscious prejudice towards Black people. If Kiggans agrees with comments referring to Black leaders…
as having “cotton picking hands”, perhaps she belongs in the 1800s rather than in Congress.”
“Voters should take this chance to turn out to the polls from June 18th to August 4th to choose the next Democratic candidate to replace Kiggans in November.”
A radio show host was talking about Hakeem Jeffries, and used the demeaning language of “get your cotton picking hands off of Virginia”. Jen Kiggans for Congress replied “that’s right. Ditto. Yes. Yes to that.” Given the racial meaning of the phrase, Jen Kiggans’ failure to call
"Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia."
"Yes to that."
WOW. Jen Kiggans agrees with the host after he says Hakeem Jeffries has "cotton-picking" hands. #VA02
Today was Victory Day in Russia, marking the end of World War II in Europe. However, while Russia keeps looking back to 1945, its government isn’t even pursuing victory in the present time. Russia is stuck in a harmful cycle of self-defeating aggression combined with repression
of its own citizens.
The Russian government has ruthlessly attacked and invaded Ukraine, causing the largest war in Europe since World War II. Using control of the media and crackdowns on those who dare to speak up, it has fooled the Russian people into thinking that this war..
is in their own interest.
Real Victory in the present time for Russian people would be to end the wars of imperialism, implement democracy, and guarantee respect for Russian people’s rights. Russian people will have Victory when they live in a democratic and prosperous country.
In contrast to our President, I know that Americans need their healthcare and parents need childcare, more than they need a war in Iran. Yet in more outrageous remarks, at a private Easter event, Donald Trump said “It’s not possible for us to take care of nbcnews.com/politics/donald-…
That has to be up to a state. We can’t take care of day care…. We’re fighting wars.”
Trump’s true intentions were revealed in this private speech later removed from the White House website.
With two children of my own, I understand how important childcare is for parents,…
Donald Trump posts that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again”, referring to Iran and implying total annihilation. His remarks have provoked widespread outrage, even among right wing commentators like @megynkelly, @TuckerCarlson, @RealAlexJones,
and @FmrRepMTG . Without even scanning social media, this must have provoked thousands or even millions of negative reactions from the center and left. We need to put the brakes on this, and restoring checks on the President through Congress is one of the best ways to do it.
The US Social Security system urgently needs attention to ensure its solvency! Another reason we need new leadership in Washington, as current and former members of Congress have been kicking the can down the road on Social Security for too long.

The Trump administration’s actions imply that they want to use #AI for mass #surveillance of Americans and for killing machines that operate independently of humans. The administration demanded that #Anthropic remove these limitations.
When Anthropic didn’t comply,…
the Trump administration banned all federal agencies from using Anthropic’s AI, and designated them as a “supply chain risk to national security”.

Donald Trump’s tariffs will cost the average American household $1300 in 2026. Like so many other things, Trump’s ill-conceived concepts are harming Americans. We need to get control of Congress this year to put the brakes on his misguided policies!
