Ranking Member @connolly.house.gov's statement on the Trump Administration's politically motivated charges against @replamonica.bsky.social:

Deeply saddened to learn of my friend Joe Biden’s diagnosis. My heart is with him and the entire Biden family as he fights this terrible disease.

America is not for sale. President Trump must decline the $400 million private jet corrupt “gift.” The American people—and the world—are watching.

Proud to lead similar legislation in the House. This is a critical step the United States can take right now to stand alongside our friends and allies in Ukraine who are fighting for their survival and their freedom.

The Trump Admin is doing everything in its power to stop whistleblowers from disclosing potential wrongdoing and waste, fraud, & abuse—including forcing gag orders & NDAs on employees. Why is Trump trying to cover his tracks? Oversight Democrats launch another investigation.

Donald Trump is raising prices for you while he's accepting a "palace in the sky" from a foreign government. It's not only blatantly unconstitutional, it's about as out of touch as it gets.

Happy Mother’s Day, VA-11!

Ranking Member @connolly.house.gov and Government Operations Subcommittee Ranking Member @repkweisimfume.bsky.social's statement on the announcement of David Steiner, a FedEx board member and former Waste Management CEO, as the next Postmaster General:

The election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, is a moment of great joy and possibility for Catholics around the world. I join all who hope he will continue Pope Francis’s legacy of reform, moral clarity, and compassion for those among us who need it most.

Public servants, including our incredible federal employees, are our nation’s unsung heroes. During this Public Service Recognition Week, as public servants are under unprecedented attack, I introduced a resolution to honor and celebrate their service to communities across America.

Elon Musk & DOGE are getting rid of the workers who make sure billionaires & corporations pay taxes. It's going to increase the national debt—no matter how much Republicans try to cut Medicaid and food assistance. Terrible deal for Americans.

Great news! The House just passed my Veteran Fraud Reimbursement Act, which makes it easier for veterans with disabilities to be made financially whole if they are defrauded of their benefits.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate the contributions and leadership of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community in VA-11 and across America.

Good. We pushed the DOD’s independent watchdogs to go further—and they’re doing it. This is a win for transparency and accountability.

Corruption runs rampant in the Trump Administration. Here’s a few examples.

100 disastrous days into his presidency, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov are demanding Donald Trump comply with more than 100 of our investigations and inquiries. We will not give up our fight, and we will not forget.

An updated note to my constituents:

First they arrested immigrants for showing up for a court date, now they’re arresting judges. This is a serious escalation. The weaponization of the FBI and Justice Department must stop immediately.

Secretary Hegseth continues to break Pentagon policy and put our national security at risk. He is not serious about keeping Americans safe. He must resign.

Pete Hegseth is a walking national security nightmare. It is absolutely unfathomable that he is still in a job.

For a decade, residents of Crimea have faced human rights violations at the hands of a war criminal. The Trump Administration cannot allow the U.S. to recognize Putin’s forceful and illegal annexation of Crimea. My full statement:

Oversight Dems raised the alarm about DOGE gutting food safety in a hearing two weeks ago. Without inspectors, how will Americans trust that what they eat & drink is safe? This is only the beginning. Americans are paying the price for Trump & RFK Jr.’s cuts to public health.

On Day One, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord because he’s fine standing by while the climate crisis destroys American lives and livelihoods. But I’m not. This Earth Day, I’m committed to fighting Republicans’ dangerous anti-science agenda.

Pope Francis was a remarkable man of compassion, humility, and grace. He led the church like he led his life, with unwavering faith and care for those who need it most. May he rest in peace.

Fire him.

A very Happy Easter to all celebrating in VA-11 and beyond!

Just one day after we honored those we lost at Virginia Tech 18 years ago, tragedy struck another campus in America. Enough of this madness. Enough thoughts and prayers. It is long past time for real action to end gun violence in this country.

Elon Musk has his hands on your data and is messing around with your Social Security benefits. What could go wrong with that? We've obtained new information from whistleblower reports. The Inspector General needs to investigate right now.

Trump is already forcing people to visit Social Security offices in person at the same time as he's firing large numbers of employees. Now, he's forcing the agency to needlessly process tens of thousands of additional applications for SSNs. It is a recipe for chaos and delays.

Elon Musk has been noticeably quiet as Donald Trump plunges our economy into chaos and openly defies court orders. But @oversightdemocrats.house.gov have not been quiet. We've been laying out a multi-pronged investigation into Elon Musk’s clear conflicts of interest across the government:

Social Security reportedly plans to start using X/Twitter as its sole means of communicating with the public. RM @connolly.house.gov and @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social RM @neal.house.gov are demanding Trump & Musk stop making it difficult for Americans to access the Social Security they earned.

Per bombshell @npr.org reporting & whistleblower reports obtained by Oversight Democrats, Elon’s DOGE is stealing sensitive data from the independent gov't agency that protects workers from corporate exploitation. We are demanding an immediate investigation. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Donald Trump has not only a duty to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, he has every authority and ability to do it right now. Enough of this blatant lawlessness. Obey the courts and return him home today.

I am so relieved Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. This kind of violence is despicable. It requires condemnation from all of us.

Pete Hegseth banned books about Holocaust victims from the Naval Academy Library, but Mein Kampf is still on the shelves. He banned I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, but books that claim Black people are genetically inferior get to stay. Are we picking up on a theme here?

Esophageal cancer is on the rise, touching the lives of tens of thousands of Americans – including mine. I am so thankful to my good friend Rep. Mike Turner for joining me to introduce a resolution marking April as Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month.

The Republican budget cuts your health care to give tax breaks to Elon Musk and his billionaire friends. I’m on the floor to vote NO.

Chaos, confusion, and carelessness, with the American people paying the price. The story of the Trump Administration.

Today, with the economy teetering on the brink, House Republicans are advancing their plan to cut Medicaid for millions of Americans. They are crashing the economy and ripping away the safety net at the same time. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Trump & Musk are weaponizing every aspect of the federal government to target & attack immigrants. This is deeply concerning, especially as this Administration abducts and disappears immigrants off our streets — including people here legally.

Today @connolly.house.gov and I demanded an investigation into the White House using Elon Musk's Starlink service. This is a huge red flag. 🚩

This is what happens when you fire the experts & replace them with incompetence. Trump & Musk are making it harder for Americans to get the Social Security they've earned. "Oops" doesn't cut it when people can no longer afford to feed their families.

Oversight Dems will not stand by while Elon Musk tries to use NASA as his own personal piggy bank. NEW TODAY: @frost.house.gov and RM @connolly.house.gov are launching an investigation on his extensive conflicts of interest.

He’s crashing the economy, raising prices, and ruining your retirements. Then he goes golfing and throws himself a parade. Out of touch doesn’t begin to cover it.

Donald Trump dropped a bomb on the economy, raising prices and ruining retirements, and then flew off to a golf tournament in Florida. A real man of the people.

The Pentagon's independent watchdog must get to the bottom of this. Pete Hegseth should never have been using an unsecure app to conduct national security operations in the first place. We will hold him accountable.

Our service members put their lives on the line every day to protect our nation. They deserve better than officials who would risk their safety just so they can text each other congratulations.

Chaos and carelessness. The Trump presidency in a nutshell.

NEWS: Following our push, independent watchdogs will investigate Trump & Musk’s illegal move to shut down the Education Department. This is a big win for America’s students.
