On D-Day, we honor the courage of Allied troops who stormed Normandy and helped liberate Europe from tyranny. Their sacrifice changed the course of history. As a veteran, I carry that legacy. We owe them gratitude, remembrance, and a commitment to the freedoms they defended.

Today, I’m wearing orange for #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay. Virginia has made real progress on gun safety, but our work isn’t finished. Together, we can continue building safer communities and preventing gun violence. #WearOrange

Great joining @arlingtondems.bsky.social and speaking with Democrats about the challenges ahead and the opportunities we have to keep Virginia moving forward. Thank you to everyone who came out and remains committed to organizing, engaging, and fighting for our Commonwealth.

Trump may be giving up on his $1.8 billion fund for Jan. 6 insurrectionists, but he hasn’t given up on trying to rewrite history. That’s why I authored legislation to ensure Virginia students learn the truth about the violent attack on our Capitol - and the dangers of extremism.

Great to join the community for this year's Clifton Caboose Twilight Run!

Happy #PrideMonth, Virginia! This year, we have the opportunity to protect marriage equality and ensure fairness and dignity for all Virginians. #VoteYes

Had a great time yesterday joining Supervisor @rachnash.bsky.social at Braddock Bark! Great to see so many families and local organizations working together to support our community and help dogs get adopted. #DogsForDan

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our meet and greet with Mary Baylor and @momsdemandaction.org. I appreciated the thoughtful questions about gun violence prevention and public safety. Virginians want gun safety laws that keep our communities safe, and I’m committed to that fight.

Virginia taxpayers should not be subsidizing organizations that celebrate traitors who waged war to preserve slavery. That’s why I’m proud to have chief co-patroned legislation ending state tax breaks for Confederate organizations like the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Democrats know how to organize, fight, and deliver. Because of the work we put in across Virginia, we expanded our House majority, passed an assault weapons ban, and pushed back against Trump and MAGA extremism. We’ve got more work ahead - and we’re ready for it.

Great joining the Springfield Democrats BBQ and talking about the road ahead for Virginia. As Trump and MAGA Republicans continue attacking our rights and our democracy, it’s more important than ever that we organize, stay engaged, and keep moving Virginia forward.

Great sharing an update on the constitutional amendments before Virginians this November. From protecting reproductive freedom and marriage equality to restoring voting rights, I encourage every Virginian to vote YES to ensure we lead in protecting our rights and our democracy.

Great joining my colleagues for a Regional Town Hall and hearing directly from community members about the issues that matter most to them. These conversations are an important part of the work, and I’m grateful to everyone who took the time to come out and engage. Thank you.

I was a cadet when Professor Tim Bakken was teaching. Two decades later, when I returned as an instructor, he was still there. I’ve heard from colleagues about censorship and banned books at West Point. Glad courts intervened and I applaud his courage. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/n...

Wishing a joyful and peaceful Eid al-Adha to everyone celebrating in Virginia and around the world. May this holiday be filled with reflection, community, generosity, and time with loved ones. Eid Mubarak.

Protecting Virginia families and keeping communities safe. I'll always fight for that.

I’ve spent my life fighting extremists - first as a soldier, now as a legislator - and I’m not stopping now. As Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans continue to threaten our democracy, freedoms, and future, I’ll keep fighting to protect them.

At a time when our democracy is under constant attack by Trump and his cronies, my fellow Virginia Democrats and I remain focused on a simple principle: the will of the people must be respected.

No matter your religion, you should be safe in America. The hate crime targeting Muslim worshipers in San Diego is abhorrent and my heart goes out to the families of those lost and the entire Muslim community.

Grateful to join NoVA Labor’s “Tribute to Labor” Dinner and celebrate the strength of Northern Virginia’s labor movement. I’m honored to stand with the men and women who keep our communities running every day, and proud to be in this fight together.

This campaign may be over, but our work is not. We’ll keep fighting for voting rights, reproductive freedom, equality, and a democracy where voters - not Trump’s packed courts - have the final say. Thank you to everyone who stood with us. Let’s keep going.

I’ve always believed power belongs with the people, not unelected judges. That fight doesn’t end here. I’ll always stand up to protect our democracy and ensure voters have the final say.

Behind every fight for gun safety are families carrying unimaginable loss. Yesterday, Virginia took a major step forward when Gov. Spanberger signed our assault weapons ban into law. I’m proud to have fought for the last 7 years to get this done.

I've always been a strong supporter of collective bargaining - and was proud to vote to end right to work in 2021. While we didn't get collective bargaining done for public sector workers this year, we won't stop until we do.

After years of work and multiple vetoes, the assault weapons ban I authored has been signed into law - the first in the South. We’ve taken on the gun lobby, passed it through the legislature, and now delivered. This is a major step toward safer communities across Virginia.

7 years ago, I wrote a bill to require infertility coverage, including IVF, in VA. Last year we passed it. Today @abigailspanberger.com signed coverage on Exchange plans into law. Grateful to work with Delegate Rip Sullivan on this big step forward for Virginia families.

Virginia voters chose their districts. The state Supreme Court overruled them. MAGA loses at the ballot, wins in court. @helmerva.bsky.social substack.com/@thekenharba... Follow The Ken Harbaugh Show here: linktr.ee/thekenharbau...

Virginians were loud and clear at the ballot box - and it’s shocking to see unelected Republican judges override the will of the voters. But we’re not backing down. We’ll keep fighting and hold extreme politicians accountable this November.

Yesterday, Gov. Spanberger signed the Paid Family and Medical Leave Act into law - legislation led by my friend @brianasewellva.bsky.social that I'm proud to have co-patroned since 2020. No Virginian should have to choose between their job and caring for themselves or a loved one.

Virginia voters made their choice - and it’s deeply disappointing to see partisan judges override that decision to give Donald Trump what he wanted.

Happy Mother’s Day to my incredible wife, my mom, my grandmother, my sister, and all the moms who give so much to their families every day! Thank you for everything you do and all the love you bring into our lives.

Voters should decide elections - not partisan judges. I’ve spent my life fighting for this country and our democracy, and I’m never going to stop.

Thank you, Commonwealth's Attorney @stevedescano.bsky.social, for your leadership and standing up for fairness and public safety in Fairfax County. Steve leads with courage and conviction. I’m grateful for his partnership and proud to work alongside leaders like him for safer communities.

I’ve spent years taking on Trump’s extremism and the special interests backing it - and winning. From protecting reproductive rights to passing an assault weapons ban and expanding Democratic majorities, I know how to fight tough battles - and deliver real results.

Grateful for the incredible teachers who show up every day for our kids and help shape their futures. Thank you for all you do. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Thank you, @braddocksupervisor.bsky.social, for your support and leadership in our community. Rachna shows what it means to put families and public safety first. I’m grateful for her partnership, and I’ll keep fighting alongside leaders like her for a safer, stronger Virginia.

Arlington always brings smart questions and honest conversations. Really appreciated the chance to sit down with folks, talk through this moment we’re in, and share why I believe Democrats need to stop playing defense and start going on offense.

When politicians and courts restrict access to basic reproductive care, they put women’s health and lives at risk. I’ve fought this battle in Virginia, and in Congress I’ll keep fighting to make sure those decisions stay where they belong: between women and their providers.

Thank you, Andy. Your courage in the face of unimaginable loss moved me - and it’s why I do this. Taking on the NRA and passing real gun safety laws is tough, but it’s what Virginians deserve. I’ll keep fighting for common-sense laws that save lives - now and in Congress.

We can’t keep repeating the same mistakes of reckless wars of choice and expecting different results. These decisions have real consequences - for service members, their families, and everyday Virginians. It’s on us to stop this - and pressure Congress to end the conflict now.

I’ve never backed down from a tough fight - from taking on special interests to leading the effort to pass an assault weapons ban in Virginia, now on Governor Spanberger’s desk. I work for you, Virginia - and I’ll keep fighting for families, not special interests.

It was great to be in Fairfax meeting with neighbors in the community I’m proud to call home. We covered the real challenges families are facing right now - and what it takes to actually get things done across our Commonwealth.

I beat Trump’s candidates at the ballot box. I beat his attempt to rig the elections. Now he’s lawyering up because he knows I’m coming for him in Congress.

Great to be at the 26th Annual Sturdivant Labor Award Brunch with the 11th Congressional District Democratic Committee, celebrating the leaders and organizers who are building a stronger, more just economy. Proud to stand with labor and everyone fighting for dignity on the job.

Reproductive rights are fundamental, and I’ve spent years fighting to protect them in Virginia - from defending abortion access to expanding IVF coverage. We’ve defeated every anti-choice extremist who’s challenged us, and I’m committed to continuing that fight.

May the 4th be with you. Thanks for having me, Braddock Dems. Great to talk about how to keep delivering for Virginians.

Great to be in Culpeper to meet with folks from across the community. We talked about what it takes to fight back against Trump’s insanity and deliver real results for Virginians: lowering costs, protecting rights, and keeping our communities and families safe.

Enough with hand wringing. When it comes to battling for our democracy, I’m always going to step into the fight. That’s why we passed my National Guard Integrity and Democracy Protection Act. I’ll do the same in Congress.

Another court decision putting politicians between women and their doctors - making it harder to access safe, proven care. It’s outrageous and dangerous. I’ve fought in Virginia for years to protect reproductive rights - and this fight is far from over. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...
