Unbelievable. First the administration chooses to limit SNAP benefits, even though it’s clear they have the money to keep paying them out. Now they’re announcing they plan to intentionally delay and cancel flights.

Decades of service, tenacity, and notching win after win for Democrats. Congratulations on a well-deserved retirement, Speaker Pelosi, and on your historic tenure as one of the most effective Speakers in American history.

Trump has broken his own record for longest shutdown… and working families pay the price. It’s long past time for him and Mike Johnson to actually come to the negotiating table and try to get a real deal done.

Well, it’s too early to say for sure, but the Supreme Court sounds awfully skeptical of Donald Trump’s tariffs. I strongly supported the legal fight to end them, but no matter the result of this case, I’m going to keep fighting this horrible policy that’s raising YOUR prices.

Yesterday, America spoke. They do not like Donald Trump’s chaos. We will keep fighting his cost-spiking policies and build a more affordable Virginia for all.

Congratulations to all the Virginia Democrats who won last night! In Virginia and across the country, this election served as a clear signal to Trump that America is tired of his chaos.

Congratulations to Abigail Spanberger on her historic victory as the 75th Governor of Virginia! I look forward to continuing to work together to build a stronger and more affordable Virginia. Onwards!

Have you ever, in your entire life, had a 46-day paid vacation? House Republicans are enjoying that right now while millions of families struggle to make ends meet without a paycheck.

While millions of families have missed paychecks or seen their health care costs skyrocket… Trump builds a ballroom, remodels his bathrooms, and throws a Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago.

There are no words. Hungry kids are not a bargaining chip. Choosing to let millions go hungry is unspeakably cruel.

I spoke with Virginians who wrote my office to share their concerns about the expiration of ACA tax credits and how it will impact them and their families. Rising costs put people’s businesses, retirement savings, and basic needs at risk. We cannot stand by as people fall off this health care cliff.

While thousands of federal workers, contractors, and servicemembers are working without pay, House Republicans are enjoying a 45-day taxpayer-funded vacation.

Families shouldn’t have to wonder how they’ll feed their kids because this administration would rather play politics than fully fund SNAP. Courts made clear the tools are there. They’re just choosing not to use them. Hunger is not a bargaining chip. They should fully fund SNAP.

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.” On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

When talking about Democrats, Trump said, “If they don’t vote, it’s their problem.” If Trump doesn’t sit down with Democrats and negotiate to reopen the government, he will be the problem for millions of Americans losing their food aid and paying double for health care.

If you haven’t already voted, get to the polls tomorrow and vote!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today I’m thinking about all Virginians who will be spooked when they enter the open enrollment portal and find frighteningly high health care premiums. It’s time for Republicans to extend health care tax credits and open the government.

This is your reminder that millions of Americans will lose food benefits this weekend because Trump is refusing to tap his emergency fund. Kids will go to school hungry because of this cruelty.

Finally, some progress on affordability… I helped lead an effort to peel back some of Trump’s tariffs, and it passed the Senate. Good to see SOME Republicans find a spine to stand up to Trump… now let’s see if the House has the same strength.

UNBELIEVABLE. These boat strikes in the Caribbean are driving us closer to war… and this administration thinks it’s fine to hide details from Democrats and divulge more to their handpicked Republicans?? Is the safety of our troops a joke to them?

National security and the safety of our troops are on the line… and Republicans think this is something they can just keep secret from Democrats.

Shutting Democrats out of a national security briefing and withholding the legal justification of the Venezuelan boat strikes from half the Senate is indefensible. This White House is eroding our national security.

We have some actual bipartisan progress on ending Trump’s tariffs and lowering your costs. Watch my video where I break down how much these tariffs will cost you and what I’m doing to meaningfully address your skyrocketing prices: youtu.be/q0AZgmo5RlA?...

Republicans would rather skip work and hide than prevent premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. Democrats have a plan to prevent your costs from spiking – Republicans voted against it SEVEN TIMES.

Donald Trump won’t even face Democrats. Donald Trump won’t even face Democrats. Donald Trump won’t even face Democrats. Donald Trump won’t even face Democrats. Donald Trump won’t even face Democrats. Donald Trump won’t even face Democrats.

I don’t understand why there’s not wall-to-wall coverage of the fact that House Republicans are on a 5-WEEK TAXPAYER-FUNDED VACATION… while working families wonder if they’ll lose SNAP benefits.

The government is shut down. Folks are worried about their food stamps, paychecks, and benefits. And where is Donald Trump? Completely MIA. Fled the country.

Reports coming out this week are showing that AI has already pushed thousands of Americans out of the workforce. That number is only going to grow. Congress and tech companies must work together to prevent wide-scale job loss and a mass economic disruption.

The horrific situation in Sudan continues to concern me, and we cannot afford to overlook the atrocities happening in al-Fashir. It is imperative we press for more focus on the region and an end to this conflict.

The Trump administration could fund SNAP if it wanted to. But after squeezing budgets with the highest grocery inflation in years, Trump is making things even harder by cutting off the aid families rely on.

House Republicans are currently enjoying something most Americans will never get in their entire careers – more than a month of paid vacation.

With inflation rising, unemployment up, and families struggling to get ahead… Trump has decided he will not continue funding SNAP at all, though he has the discretionary funds to do so. I want to force a vote to make it happen and keep food benefits active.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I just voted – Virginia, make your voice heard!

Donald Trump has literally fled the hemisphere to avoid negotiating with Democrats to bring this painful shutdown to an end. Why are Republicans so afraid to negotiate?

Republicans don’t care at all about reopening the government. Donald Trump is running around Asia. The House is in a month-long recess. They won’t even sit down to face Democrats.

Throughout this shutdown, Trump has decided to just continue funding parts of the government he deems worthy. If he wanted to maintain SNAP, he could. But he already signed the largest cut in the program's history in July. Does this sound like someone who cares about SNAP?

Today’s inflation report shows hiring is down and prices are up. On top of that, health care costs are about to skyrocket. Democrats want to take on affordability, deal with the health care crisis, and get the government open. The GOP refuses to negotiate for the good of the American people.

Their government. Their shutdown.

I’ve long supported nonpartisan redistricting and fair maps, but Donald Trump has spent months trying to rig the system instead of actually tackling rising costs for Americans. It’s no surprise that Democrats in places like Virginia would be thinking through appropriate ways to respond.

Horrible…. A breast cancer survivor from Virginia Beach just got in touch with my office… she’s paying $258/month for her ACA health insurance right now… it’s going to go up to $1,018/month if Republicans keep failing to show up to work!

If you didn’t show up to work for over a month, you’d probably be fired. In this government, it just means you’re a House Republican still collecting your six-figure salary!

Trump is tearing down the White House to soothe his ego.

Trump’s said it himself – the President is to blame for a shutdown… but he has shown ZERO interest in negotiating. What is he so afraid of?

Virginia – new ACA premiums are coming out today, and thousands of Virginia families are going to start paying a whole lot more. Rates significantly higher? I want to hear what you’re experiencing. Get in touch and tell me what your new rates are. www.warner.senate.gov/public/index...

I wrote about Trump trying to steal $230 million in taxpayer dollars to line his pockets. READ IT HERE: senatorwarner.substack.com/p/trump-trie...

Irony is dead.

Day 22 of the shutdown. Another day when Trump is too chicken to even attempt to negotiate with Democrats.

"A 60-year-old couple earning $85,000 may have to pay $31,000 for a health insurance plan in Kentucky... $28,000 for a plan in Oregon... $44,000 for a plan in Vermont..." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Today, Virginians will begin to be notified about their 2026 health care premium rate increases. It’s time for Trump to sit down with Democrats and work out a deal to open the government and prevent a health care cliff.
