Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down deep divisions among Democrats over the spending bill, the Virginia GOP's steep challenges in this year's elections, and the House Democrats losing two members in just over a week.First, Republicans finally get a chance to watch Democrats openly feud over whether to pass a spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer now reluctantly supports the bill, sparking an intense backlash from progressives. Jim also explains how Democrats are struggling to accept their minority status in Congress.Next, they wince at the prospects for Virginia Republicans in this year's elections. They usually don't go well for the party that holds the White House. Virginia is also home to the second most federal employees in the nation, and the DOGE cuts are likely to be unpopular in the DC suburbs. Republicans do have an excellent candidate in Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, but will the headwinds against her be too strong?Finally, they discuss the passing of Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, marking the second House Democrat to die in under two weeks. They note the oddity of Grijalva's X account continuing to post after his death and also examine how these vacancies will impact the House until special elections are held to fill those vacancies.Please visit our great sponsors:Oracle will cut your cloud bill in half—new US customers only, offer ends March 31st!

The race for governor is starting to take shape as new polling numbers show where things stand eight months out from Election Day. Michael Pope has the numbers. Here’s a link to the new polling from Roanoke College.

*Senator Kaine opens website for complaining federal employees. *VA Delegate Lopez has 14 family members that are being deported? *Spanberger embraces her constituents: Federal employees and Trans in women's sports. *Who is fighting for the non-federal employee in the private sector? *Plastic straws are back. *"Stop the Coup" chant in downtown Richmond by 8th grader? *Democrats are suffering severe mental health issues says Doctor. *New Gun Violence Prevention Center in Virginia? *LEGO is to heteronormative? *MSNBC freaks out about a smaller government. *And more!

*Virginia Governor hopeful Spanberger promise a bill that will prevent gun violence! Wow. Cool. *Tim Kaine makes a mockery of committee hearing. *Never forget Biden (democrats) said about Covid and forced Facebook to silence you. *A VA Democrat wants to regulate Homeschoolers. She hates them. *Democrats fight scholarships for private schools. And we know why. *Government staffers want 32 hour work week. *2024 saw more guns stopped at VA airports than ever. SO WHAT! *And more.

Reports from Capitol Hill have said Peninsula Congressman Bobby Scott is considering challenging fellow Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger for the Democratic nomination for Virginia governor. According to some reports, party members are concerned with Spanberger's ability to excite Black voters.

Can a good spy become a good politician? I mean, not as an undercover agent—spy agencies are pretty good at that—but in an overt way, in, say, the messy US Congress.Or, put another way, can the skills that a CIA officer employs in clandestine operations—gregariousness, empathy and, let's face it, a learned talent for manipulating people, be put to good use in a place like a deeply polarized Congress?This week I'm putting those questions to Abigail Spanberger, a former member of the CIA's clandestine service, who in 2018 won a seat in Congress from Virginia as a Democrat, breaking, by the way, a nearly 40-year long Republican chokehold on a sprawling district in the near and far suburbs Washington, DC.  Since then Spanberger has developed a strong reputation for working across the aisle with Republicans on bills that help constituents. And now she's running for governor of Virginia with no primary opposition.  Follow Jeff Stein on Twitter:https://twitter.com/SpyTalkerFollow Michael Isikoff on Twitter:https://twitter.com/isikoff Follow SpyTalk on Twitter:https://twitter.com/talk_spySubscribe to SpyTalk on Substackhttps://www.spytalk.co/Take our listener survey where you can give us feedback.http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=BffJOlI7qQcF&ver=short

Abigail Spanberger, rumored for the past few months to be gearing up for a run at the Virginia governor job in 2025, made it official on Monday, announcing her candidacy for the Democratic Party gubernatorial nomination. Chris Graham breaks down the first entry into the 2025 race, and discusses the intraparty challenge in the House Republican caucus that Todd Gilbert was able to withstand to win election as the House Minority Leader.

In this episode of Faithful Politics, hosts Will Wright and Pastor Josh Bertram sit down with Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, who's been serving Virginia's seventh congressional district since 2019. Our conversation journeys through her unique path to politics—starting as a federal employee, transitioning to an undercover role in the CIA, and finally, landing in Congress. We explore the historical significance of her win, breaking a 60-year Democratic drought in her district, and what that implies for her potential third-term victory.We tackle the ongoing Speaker of the House dilemma, discussing its impact on both her constituents and the nation at large. The episode also delves into bipartisan efforts, focusing on how Democrats and Republicans are collaborating to safeguard Americans and restore trust in Congress. We touch on international topics like aid to Ukraine and its implications for American security. To cap it all off, we get a fascinating peek into Spanberger's past life as an undercover CIA agent, including how her mother was largely in the dark about her covert activities.This was a really fun interview with the Rep. Spanberger and we think you'll enjoy it as much as we did recording it!Guest Bio:U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger is proud to represent the people of Virginia's Seventh Congressional District in the U.S. House.Abigail's career has been defined by public service. She first swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution as a federal agent with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. In this role, she investigated money laundering and narcotics cases — including at the southern border. Then, as a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) case officer, she worked at home and abroad to collect intelligence, keep our country safe from terrorism, and inform policymakers in their national security decisions. Following her time at CIA, Abigail joined the private sector and helped American colleges and universities diversify their student bodies, expand opportunities for Americans entering the workforce, and increase graduation rates.To learn more: https://spanberger.house.gov/Support the showTo learn more about the show, contact our hosts, or recommend future guests, click on the links below: Website: https://www.faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/ Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Political Host: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Twitter: @FaithfulPolitik Instagram: faithful_politics Facebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast LinkedIn: faithfulpolitics

The Social Security Amendments of 1983 brought forward, among other things, the  windfall elimination provision and government pension offset, two rules that impact public servants and their retirement. In the forty years since, concerns about the rules have come forward and this year, Rep. Abigail Spanberger asked her constituents how they experience the GPO and WEP, with thousands responding to a survey.  Rep. Spanberger is a Democrat representing Virginia's 7th district in the United States House of Representatives. She recently reintroduced the Social Security Fairness Act to eliminate the WEP and GPO. As part of our #MoneyMonday series, she joined the podcast to discuss the windfall elimination provision, the government pension offset and the results of her survey of her constituents.  

Members of Congress write their own rules — and those rules allow stock trades galore!In this episode of The Continuous Action, host Walt Shaub dives into topic of congressional stock trading, outlining the problems with the practice and asking the question we're all thinking: How is this legal? He's joined by a member of Congress who's leading a bipartisan coalition working to make sure it won't stay legal for long. The fact is, there's no way for us to know what our elected representatives learn in closed-door government briefings, or whether they're profiting from that knowledge. But what we do know is that members of Congress and their immediate families are free to buy and sell stocks while they're in office, and some of them are turning quite a profit. Even if they're all following the rules, the lack of adequate guardrails is enough to shake the public's faith. And it has: at least one poll shows that more than 70% of voters favor banning congressional stock trading. To learn more, Walt talks with Representative Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) about the quest to ban congressional stock trading. Spanberger leads a bipartisan coalition of members, including Representative Chip Roy (R-TX), which is fighting to put a congressional stock trading ban in place. They may not agree on much else, but these dozens of members of Congress agree that time has come to stop the trades.

This week's Open Mic guest is Virginia Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger. The 7th District Representative is a strong supporter of conservation, risk management and nutrition programs, but like others in the legislature, recognizes the budget constraints in writing new farm language this year. Spanberger says the implications of Russia's attack on Ukraine and closer ties between Vladimir Putin and China are concerning. She sees the need for both border security and immigration reform. She shares concerns about an adequate work force. Spanberger believes minor changes could make the School Lunch Program and SNAP more effective for children and those families in need.

Equality and fairness are some of America’s most cherished ideals. In current Social Security law, over 2.5 million retired first responders, teachers, and other government employees are financially penalized by provisions of the law, the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset, that slash their benefits solely because they spent part of their careers in jobs that don’t pay into the Social Security System. On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National FOP President Patrick Yoes sits down with Representative Abigail Spanberger, who currently represents Virginia’s 7th Congressional district. A former law enforcement officer herself, Congresswoman Spanberger is the lead Democratic sponsor of the FOP’s top legislative priority: the Social Security Fairness Act. The Social Security Fairness Act, which has been one of the most bipartisan and broadly supported pieces of legislation in the House under both Democratic and Republican control, would fully repeal both the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) in current Social Security law. The bill, which currently has over 150 cosponsors, is a top priority of the FOP. The WEP affects workers who spent some time in jobs not covered by Social Security and also worked other jobs where they paid Social Security taxes long enough to qualify for retirement benefits. The provision has a disproportionate effect on law enforcement officers who retire earlier than most other public employees and are more likely to begin a second career after they leave law enforcement. Officers in this position are penalized and may have their Social Security benefit reduced by up to sixty percent (60%). Like the WEP, the Government Pension Offset (GPO) was adopted to shore up the finances of the Social Security trust fund. It offsets the Social Security benefit to which a surviving spouse is entitled by two-thirds of the monthly amount of any government pension that they might receive.

Abigail Spanberger, who represents Virginia's 7th congressional district in the House of Representatives, is one of the few members of Congress to have served as an operations officer at the Central Intelligence Agency. She also worked in law enforcement as an officer of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Not typical experiences for a thrice-elected politician—but useful for the role she finds herself in now.On this episode of Chatter, David Priess chatted with Rep. Spanberger about her recent re-election to the House, the nature of "swing districts," working across the aisle, her road to working at CIA, her experiences as a postal inspector and intelligence operations officer, what she sees as important national security issues right now, her advice for former colleagues considering a run for elective office, and how listening skills she learned at CIA have helped her as a representative.Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo.
