Abigail Spanberger

Less than two weeks into the new Virginia legislative session, and Democrats have unleashed one of the most aggressive progressive policy blitzes in the commonwealth’s history. Newly sworn-in Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Lt. Gov. Hashmi, and Attorney General Jay Jones — who swept into office on November 5, 2025, defeating Republicans in all three statewide races and picking up 13 seats in the House of Delegates — have wasted no time implementing their policy agenda.

Lest we forget the election controversy of Jay Jones, who it was revealed in 2022 that he had sent texts fantasizing about “two bullets to the head” for then-Republican minority leader Todd Gilbert, even musing about his children’s deaths.
He also allegedly made anti-police remarks and talked about urinating on his opponents’ graves. Spanberger called those texts “disgusting” but refused to withdraw her endorsement of Jones, but fast forward: Voters elected him anyway. Now he’s Virginia’s top law enforcement officer.

It’s been less than a week since Democrat Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as Virginia’s governor, and already her unhinged liberal policies are poisoning the state, says BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales.

“She’s a deranged, liberal, white woman, so she’s handling it about how you would expect,” she sneers.

As one of her first actions after being sworn in, Spanberger signed an executive order rescinding her predecessor Glenn Youngkin’s directive that required state law enforcement, including Virginia State Police and corrections, to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement on immigration enforcement.

“I’ve explained this to you multiple times,” says Sara. “They want the criminals.”

Virginia Democrats have been in total control of the state for less than a week and one of their primary focuses has been to protect criminals generally and illegal immigrants specifically, even illegals who commit crimes in addition to being in the country unlawfully.

One of the first things Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., did when she took office in Richmond was to repeal an executive order from her predecessor, Republican Glenn Youngkin. The order had directed state and local law enforcement to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other immigration enforcement agencies. “State and local law enforcement should not be required to divert their limited resources to enforce federal civil immigration laws,” Spanberger said about signing Executive Order 10.

In a move that is not a shock to anyone except for those who were psyopped into believing Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., was a “moderate,” Democrats are poised to make life a little easier for rapists and murderers.

Spanberger was sworn into office on Saturday, and radical Democrats control both houses of Virginia’s General Assembly. Legislative proposals have been streaming in, many of which aim to ban guns, rig elections, disenfranchise Virginians, kill unborn babies, and tax just about everything under the sun.

Newly inaugurated Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed 10 executive orders on her first day in office, including one ending cooperation between law enforcement in the state and federal immigration authorities.

The new Democrat leader said in a statement, “Today, we are responding to the moment. We are setting the tone for what Virginians can expect over the next four years: pragmatic leadership focused on lowering costs and delivering results. My administration is getting to work on Day One to address the top-of-mind challenges facing families by lowering costs for Virginians in every community, building a stronger economy for every worker, and making sure that every student in the Commonwealth receives a high-quality education that sets them up for success. These executive orders represent the first steps in our work to create a stronger, safer, and — critically — more affordable future for our Commonwealth.”

The first order signed by Spanberger directs her secretaries and all executive branch agencies to submit reports “identifying immediate, actionable budgetary, regulatory, or policy changes that would reduce costs for Virginians,” with the reports being required to address “cost savings in areas such as housing, healthcare, energy, education, childcare, and everyday living expenses (groceries), where relevant to the agency or secretariat.”

The Republicans have had the House and Senate for well over a year and have done nothing to pass election integrity legislation ensuring the fraud continues. No reforms. No action while fraud remained embedded and untouched. But Democrats have been in power in Virginia for all of 48 hours and they’ve introduced legislation to ban the hand-counting of ballots—the single most transparent safeguard voters have.

“Prohibits such ballots from being counted by hand for any reason…”

“Affordability” was the word of the year in Virginia politics in 2025.

“Affordability takes center stage in New Jersey, Virginia governor races,” ABC News‘ Benjamin Siegel wrote on November 2, 2025.

“Spanberger turns Virginia governor’s race into a test of Trump’s economy,” Politico’s Erin Doherty and Brakkton Booker wrote on October 29, 2025. “Spangberger has stuck to a message on the economy, specifically the cost of life for Virginians.”

“It’s not about inflation or the economy — the election instead delivered a ‘wake-up call’ on affordability politics, top pollster says,” Fortune’s Jason Ma wrote on November 8, 2025.
