Me preocupa profundamente el trato atroz que ICE da a las personas—especialmente a los niños—y la deshumanización de los inmigrantes por parte del Presidente Trump. Esto tiene que terminar.

Too many Virginians face food insecurity, and the recent SNAP cuts will exacerbate this issue and put more pressure on food banks. I'm proud to have secured federal funding for Feed More and Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore to expand capacity and serve more Virginians.

Veterans deserve world-class cancer care. But arbitrary caps on the pay therapeutic and diagnostic medical physicists receive are making clinical staffing shortages at VA clinics worse—delaying patients’ access to crucial treatment. My bipartisan bill would help fix that:

Trump is doubling down on his threat to usurp the Constitution and state laws and “nationalize” elections. Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that he wants to rig future elections.

Trump is cancelling clean energy projects while forcing coal plants to stay open past their retirement dates—increasing energy bills by putting billions in additional repair costs back on customers. Trump owns this energy crisis.

This week, we launched the Federal Workforce Caucus, a bicameral group working to ensure our civil servants have the resources and support they need—especially as the Trump Admin bullies and traumatizes them. Our civil servants deserve respect, and I'm proud to fight for them.

Good news: @markwarner.bsky.social and I secured over $93 million in federal funding to expand access to health care, make critical infrastructure and transportation upgrades, and build affordable housing. I’m excited to get on the road and celebrate these investments in our communities.

Stephen Miller is incapable of following the law or telling the truth—even when there’s video evidence to the contrary. He’s a threat to the country, and even members of his own party find him incompetent. Trump would do himself a favor by ditching him.

My great-grandparents were among the millions of Irish people who immigrated to the U.S. during and after the Irish Potato Famine, seeking a better life and greater opportunity for themselves and their kids. Immigrants today want those same things and shouldn't be demonized for it.

The names of our national sites should honor individuals whom we can all look up to. I introduced legislation to remove Confederate General Robert E. Lee's name from Arlington House and restore its original title. www.insidenova.com/news/arlingt...

I’m tired of our incredible immigrant communities being demonized with labels like “illegals.” We don’t use that term to describe any other type of human being, including those convicted of serious crimes.

How can anyone believe Trump’s claims that ICE crackdowns are about crime when ICE is busy detaining preschoolers like Liam? Kids should be in school and safe at home with their families—not in detention centers 1,000 miles from home. It’s cruel. youtu.be/0gMqWklcuoI

The right to free speech is a core pillar of a healthy and thriving democracy. Targeting citizens for voicing their disagreements with this Administration’s policies is a totalitarian overreach of power. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Fixed this! Trump’s chaotic tariff “plan” is clear: there is no plan. He’s happy to upend global markets depending on whoever compliments him the most. The economy cannot depend on one man’s ego.

67 years ago today, Lance Newman, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskins, and Gloria Thompson made history in Arlington as the first students to desegregate a Virginia public school. Their courage forged a path for future integration across the Commonwealth.

Last year, the Trump Admin put out a list of so-called "sanctuary cities." For Virginia, it had a county that doesn't exist and erroneously listed a town of 73 people as one. What a joke. If Americans don't like their local leaders' policies, they can vote them out. youtube.com/shorts/_SOqL...

Trump is pushing for Republicans to “take over the voting in at least 15 places.” An authoritarian takeover of our electoral process—all because Trump’s ego can’t handle the fact that he lost in 2020—has no place in our democracy.

Congratulations to Virginia Beach’s Pharrell Williams and Clipse, Woodbridge’s Shaboozey, and Richmond’s Mad Skillz on their Grammy wins last night. You make the Commonwealth proud!

It’s Black History Month! This month and always, we celebrate the many contributions of Black Americans in VA and across the U.S. I'm inspired by Black leaders who have changed VA for the better, like Barbara Rose Johns, whose contribution is now honored in the Capitol.

Happy birthday to my amazing wife, Anne! 41+ years married and going strong—too legit to quit!

I’m glad Senate Republicans are standing down on a nonsensical amendment to allow certain Republican senators the special ability to enrich themselves to the tune of millions of taxpayer-dollars.

Tulsi Gabbard—who has a long history of promoting bizarre conspiracy theories—was at the election office raid in Fulton County, Georgia. This whole “investigation” is a massive waste of federal resources expended to protect the ego of an overly sensitive President who can’t accept he lost.

Hoy me alegré de reunirme nuevamente con Maria Corina Machado para conversar sobre la necesidad de que se celebren elecciones este año en Venezuela. El pueblo venezolano debe tener el control de su economía, su gobierno y su futuro.

Today, I was glad to meet with Maria Corina Machado again to discuss the need for elections to be held this year in Venezuela. The Venezuelan people must be in the driver’s seat of their economy, government, and future.

Rather than fulfill the responsibilities of the job he was elected to do in 2024, Trump is instead attempting to rewrite history by raiding an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, and fueling long-debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Unbelievable.

My statement on why I voted to block the appropriations package that was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last week:

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the one-year anniversary of the midair collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport:

American families haven’t felt this level of uncertainty in more than a decade – even when they faced a pandemic.  Prices are up, job growth is weak, and families are being forced to pay for Trump’s tariffs.

It’s been 5 months since Trump’s first illegal boat strike, but today was the FIRST public hearing on the strikes and on the war in Venezuela. How novel! The American people deserve answers—why is Trump refusing to give them?

Within the past week alone, two House members—Reps. Maxwell Frost and Ilhan Omar—were attacked in public. We can't become desensitized to political violence and the threat it poses to our democracy. We must condemn political violence in any and all forms.

The horrific killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents require a stiff response from Congress. I’m a NO on the House-passed government funding package that includes the Department of Homeland Security without significant changes.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on a National Transportation Safety Board hearing announcing the agency’s findings from its year-long investigation into the deadly midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport that took the lives of 67 people:

Following Trump's foolish tariffs and chaotic economic policies, Americans' confidence in the economy plummeted to its lowest point in 12 years. The House and Senate need to work together to overturn these tariffs. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/c...

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memories of six million Jews and millions of other victims, including LGBT and disabled people, who were murdered by the Nazi regime. We must come together to stand against all forms of hate and antisemitism at home and abroad.

Last week, I met with leadership at Augusta Medical Center in Fisherville to learn about how they’re providing care for the community. I’ll keep working to protect Virginians’ health care, including by pushing to reverse the Republican cuts to Medicaid.

Folks, roads are still rough throughout much of the region following last weekend’s winter storm. I encourage everyone to keep an eye out for road and public transportation updates to best keep you and your family safe.

The horrific shooting of Alex Pretti has only sharpened the position I announced last Friday—the House-passed bill funding Homeland Security is a non-starter because it lacks sufficient safeguards against abuse and accountability for those who have used their power to brutalize our communities.

This week, I visited Naval Medical Center Portsmouth to hear from leadership about how they’re providing world-class care to military families and the community. I'll continue to do all I can in the Armed Services Committee to support our servicemembers.

My statement on the House-passed government funding bills:

Glad to tour the Spotsy Career & Technical Center and meet with students and staff to learn how students are learning the skills needed for high-demand careers. I've been proud to pass legislation to expand access to job training and will keep working to support CTE as an education committee member.

Today in Culpeper, I spoke with health care providers and community members to discuss federal cuts to the ACA and Medicaid and ways to grow the health care workforce. I’ll keep working to support providers and ensure families can access the care they need.

My statement on the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade:

Today, I toured the Portsmouth Marine Terminal and was updated on the progress made on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. This incredible project will bolster offshore wind in VA, lower costs, and grow the local economy.

This morning, I spoke with patients, providers, and health care advocates in Hampton about how cuts to Medicaid and the ACA are hurting Virginians. I'll keep fighting to protect and expand critical health care access.

The writing is on the wall: Trump’s disastrous tariffs are nothing more than a new sales tax for hardworking American families. The House needs to face the music and vote on my Senate-passed, bipartisan legislation overturning these tariffs. www.axios.com/2026/01/20/a...

Today, I visited Healthy Community Health Centers in Harrisonburg to hear about how cuts to Medicaid and other federal policy changes are affecting their ability to provide care and hire staff. I’ll keep working to reverse these cuts and boost the health care workforce.

My prayers are with the loved ones of Dr. Gladys West, a trailblazer and mathematician from Virginia whose contributions laid the groundwork for GPS technology. The legacy of her fortitude, tenacity, and brilliance will live on for generations to come. www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Dr. King’s words continue to inspire many Americans, including myself. Today and always, we honor his legacy by affirming our commitment to fighting for justice, combating hate, and advancing toward the North Star of equality.

A huge win for VA: after @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, and I filed an amicus brief in court, a judge ruled that Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind will resume construction! This project will create jobs, lower costs, and cement VA as a leader in this industry.

I'm glad U.S. religious institutions, including my Parish in VA, will not lose foreign-born religious workers who are vital parts of our communities, thanks to a DHS regulation change. Now Congress must pass my bipartisan bill to further streamline the process for these workers.
