Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and father figures who show up with love, strength, and sacrifice every day.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, the day African Americans became free in Galveston, Texas in 1865. We honor the resilience, struggle, and enduring fight for justice that continues today.

Today @abigailspanberger.com signed SB749, my bill to ban the sale of assault weapons starting July 1. This is a policy I ran on - and together, we delivered!

Great meeting with local business owners and discussion on how we can remove barriers, expand opportunity, and support the entrepreneurs driving our community forward. I’ll always stand with small businesses and work to deliver results.

Great to see so many friends at the annual @fallschurchdems.bsky.social potluck dinner! @beyer.house.gov @parisaforjustice.bsky.social @lettyhardi.bsky.social

After the San Diego mosque shooting, threats & hate toward mosques must be taken seriously. Calls for a “pig roast and BBQ” at a mosque aren’t harmless, they’re Islamophobic & dangerous. As a senator I have visited houses of worship of every faith. People should be free to worship without fear.

Today, we are reminded of the family, friends, and loved ones who were victims of gun violence. The month of June serves as Gun Violence Awareness month, and we ask you to #WearOrange today to spread awareness in your community.

This year during Pride Month, we celebrate the contributions of our LGBTQ+ friends, family and neighbors, as well as the upcoming referendum on the ballot this November to make marriage equality part of the Virginia Constitution! Happy Pride Month!

Wishing you and your family a blessed Eid al-Adha. As families across the Commonwealth and around the world come together to celebrate, may this sacred time of sacrifice, reflection, and generosity bring peace to your home and strengthen the bonds of our shared community. Eid Mubarak!

This weekend was the 42nd Annual ViVa Vienna Festival. I tabled with @hollyseiboldva.bsky.social to talk to our constituents, and commemorate the Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to @ViennaRotary for bringing our community together and honoring the soldiers who defended our country.

As we remember the people who lost their lives defending our country, I walked in the 44th Annual Memorial Day Parade in Falls Church alongside @ltgovhashmi.bsky.social and @DaveMarsdenForSenate with The Concerned Citizens Against Gun Violence.

Today, in our nation's 250th year, we honor all the brave men and women who have given their lives wearing the uniform of the United States of America.

My statement with @DelegateKatrinaCallsen on @GovernorSpanberger's veto of SB351:

My statement with @charlie4va.bsky.social on @abigailspanberger.com signing SB352 requiring all law enforcement officers to wear badges identifying them and the agency employing them and prohibiting the wearing of facial coverings:

This is vile and dangerous. It’s not just Islamophobic rhetoric; it’s a call to expel American citizens & target a specific faith community. We have seen where this kind of dehumanizing language leads before, and we cannot be silent now. America was founded on religious freedom, not hate.

Taxpayer money stolen in plain sight while the DOJ and Republicans in Congress give the thumbs up.

My statement on the Supreme Court's decision:

Governor Spanberger's signing of SB749 marks a monumental victory for public safety in the Commonwealth of Virginia, banning the sale, manufacture, and transfer of assault firearms and large capacity magazines effective July 1, 2026.

Great to be with @abigailspanberger.com to celebrate legislation capping insulin prices on plans offered through Virginia's Insurance Marketplace and limiting prior authorizations. Affordability in healthcare is our goal, and each of these bills brings Virginia a few steps closer.

Trump didn’t build wealth by creating anything. He built it by grifting and now he’s trying to grift the American people. Republicans in Congress will continue to look the other way. Another reason we have to organize & fight back.

A sitting member of Congress agreeing with this is blatantly racist and nobody should pretend otherwise.

To all the mothers across Virginia, including adoptive and foster mothers, and to everyone who loves their mother, Happy Mother's Day!

My statement on the decision to overturn the April 21 referendum:

Endless wars have cost us trillions of dollars and countless lives. Meanwhile, our schools, hospitals, and communities are starved of resources. We need to end forever wars and invest at home.

During Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate the impact of Jewish Americans on our Commonwealth and our nation, and recommit to confronting antisemitism with vigilance, solidarity, and action.

May is AANHPI Heritage Month. We honor the generations who have strengthened our Commonwealth and our country, and we recognize the challenges and hate AANHPI communities still face. We must remain vigilant in standing up for dignity, safety, and belonging.

Many Americans are already living paycheck to paycheck. Trump’s war with Iran is one more crisis they did not ask for and cannot afford.

No one working full time should live in poverty. Workers deserve power. I’ll fight to pass the PRO Act.

This May Day, stand with workers. Demand Congress to pass the PRO Act and protect every worker's right to organize. My vote will always be for labor.

In Virginia, it costs $3,450 just to get on the ballot. My opponents can get that from one big donor. We’re powered by people giving $5, $10, and whatever they can. Help us build a grassroots campaign that fights for working families. secure.actblue.com/donate/salim...

The "taking Dems to the train station" (aka, murdering them) dude, VA Sen. Bryce Reeves (R), also can't spell ("Sadaam"? "assault weapons band"?). Also, gotta love the "natural born citizens" comment clearly aimed at immigrant from Bangladesh @salimforva.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/04/satu...

Until data centers prove they can be good neighbors, Virginians don’t want them here. It’s that simple.

Good. Data centers need to be held accountable for their costs to our communities. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Same country, two playbooks: Virginia let VOTERS choose a new map. Florida let POLITICIANS cook one up in secret. Guess which one is afraid of the voters.

Traveling across the district, one thing is clear: Virginians are struggling to afford healthcare, keep a roof over their heads, and make ends meet. It's time for real Democrats who will stand up, fight back, and put PEOPLE over PROFIT! That's why I'm running.

No military family should ever have to fear ICE. No family should fear ICE. We need leaders who protect our loved ones, uphold due process, and stand up for ALL our families.

Trump claims he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress, and Virginia voters have the choice to stop the MAGA power grab. After talking with voters at farmers’ markets and polling locations, one thing is clear: Virginians are fired up to vote YES! VOTE APRIL 21st

I’m truly grateful to @walteralcorn.bsky.social for his endorsement. His support reflects the trust we’ve built by working together to serve our shared community, and I’m honored to have his confidence as I run for Congress! ⬇️Learn more about our campaign! salimforcongress.com

Virginia farmers grow our food, but Trump’s Iran war is growing their bills. We don’t need more war; we need a farm bill that puts family farmers and rural communities before oil companies and defense contractors.

It's an honor to be endorsed by one of the most effective senate majority leaders that has served Virginia, Senator @ssurovell.bsky.social!

Hungary sent a powerful message: voters ousted Viktor Orbán after 16 years & backed Péter Magyar’s pro-European, anti-corruption campaign. A reminder that democracy can still surprise the strongmen.

Weekend round up! ⚾️ 🧢 Opening pitch at Vienna Little League 75th Opening Day 📝 🏆 Celebrated the Korean Dica Poem Association for their first publication 🎤🎬 Spoke to the Vietnamese Independent Filmmaker Alliance in Tysons Grateful to these communities for welcoming me!

Saturday voting opens TODAY for the April 21 referendum! 12 days left to vote! Go to iwillvote.com/va to find your polling place or request your ballot by mail. @fairelectionsva.bsky.social

This is exactly why members of Congress and the president shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks. When powerful people can move markets with a post, no one should be profiting off what happens behind closed doors.

Glad to see my first bills from the 2026 #VALeg session signed into law. More to come next week!

Great to join the ribbon-cutting for The Cheese Cartel in Falls Church today! 🧀 Small businesses like this strengthen our economy, create jobs, and build community. Stop by soon to taste some incredible local cheese! TheCheeseCartel.com

Grateful to stand with @markwarnerva.bsky.social, a tireless leader fighting for a future where everyone has access to quality, universal healthcare. Proud to share that vision and keep pushing for progress together! 💙 #TeamWarner #HealthcareForAll

Iran offered these ceasefire terms yesterday. Trump threatened genocide this morning, and Americans spent all day in fear of what our military might do, so he could look like he's in control. It was pure theater. This is insane, unstable behavior. He needs to be impeached.
