The most useful Democratic admissions come wrapped in outrage. Hakeem Jeffries ally and former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, now governor of Virginia, was furious about the One Big Beautiful Bill’s Medicaid work requirements — so furious that she posted a statement confirming everything conservatives have been saying about illegal aliens accessing taxpayer-funded healthcare.

“More than 300,000 Virginians on Medicaid risk losing their coverage because of the so-called ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,'” Spanberger posted this week. Behind that number, she said, is “someone seeking treatment for cancer, a Virginian just trying to fill a prescription, a family one hard month away from an empty dinner.”

But being in Virginia doesn’t make you a “Virginian.” Being a citizen of America who lives in Virginia makes you a “Virginian.”
