Lutnick lied about his relationship with Epstein, got caught, and then doubled down on his lie during his interview.  He should resign immediately.

(1/2) Not every step forward in Congress makes national news, but every step matters when it helps veterans.   This week, the Veterans’ Affairs Committee advanced my bipartisan Veteran Technology Employment Success Act, moving it one step closer to pass the House.

In Lutnick’s transcribed interview, I confronted him about claiming Epstein was too “gross” to sit in a room with — but apparently not too gross to have lunch with your family on his island. Make it make sense.

Trump is moving to create a $1.7 billion slush fund to cut checks with your tax dollars to Jan 6 rioters, Trump-connected entities, & MAGA allies. Let’s call this what it is: corruption in plain sight. President Trump & his allies are openly stealing from the American people.

Secretary Lutnick must resign. The American people deserve honesty from those who hold positions of power. Cabinet officials are not above accountability, and lying to the public is a betrayal of that responsibility.

House Judiciary Republicans attempted to shield the Trump Admin & ICE from accountability for their failure to keep Americans safe. My heart goes out to the Minter family & all those who have lost loved ones to violence. I hope their faith, family, and community can bring some measure of comfort.

Trump admitted he’s not thinking about Americans’ financial situations “even a little bit.” At least he’s finally being honest. Because anyone who thinks $200 oil is “worth it” clearly does not care what Americans are going through.

(1/2) Veterans bring invaluable experience, leadership, and adaptability to every workplace and community they join after military service. One of the best ways to support a veteran is by hiring a veteran and ensuring they have the opportunities they have earned.

Todd Blanche says it’s time to move on from Epstein, even though key enablers tied to the trafficking network were never interviewed. Despite the scale of the abuse, only Epstein and Maxwell faced prosecution.   Survivors deserve accountability. This cover-up must end.

Forcing refugees back into the hands of a brutal dictatorship is indefensible. Today, @kaine.senate.gov and I urged Trump to press the Chinese government to stop sending North Koreans back to a country where they face torture, forced labor, and possible execution.

(1/2) The transcript of Howard Lutnick’s interview is out. Here he tries to explain that he found Epstein so “gross” that he wouldn’t be in a room with him, but he was ok to take his wife and family to lunch on Epstein’s island.

Roza was recruited from Uzbekistan with promises of a modeling career. Instead, Epstein raped her for years & used her visa to keep her from escaping. He should have been behind bars. Alex Acosta’s sweetheart deal kept him free to continue abusing women and girls like Roza.

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud. He doesn’t care about you or your family struggling to keep up as prices skyrocket.

(1/2) Pam Bondi should show an ounce of the courage Epstein survivors have shown and explain herself for the world to see. They share their stories and trauma with the world to help build a world free from sexual assault and abuse.

Epstein didn’t just exploit wealth and influence — he used control over visas to control women and girls. Telling her full story publicly for the first time, Roza told us today she feared being sent back if Epstein was displeased. That fear was key to maintaining control.

For years, wealth, power, and privilege shielded Epstein & Maxwell while hundreds of girls were trafficked and abused.  Today, @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social are hearing directly from survivors of Epstein’s crimes. Survivors deserve the truth & accountability to ensure this never happens again.

Just miles from Mar-a-Lago — where Trump partied with Epstein and where young women were brought into Epstein’s orbit — @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social will hear directly from courageous survivors in Palm Beach, FL. They deserve justice. I will never stop fighting for the truth and accountability.

I don’t buy that Epstein and Maxwell were the only people who broke the law or knew what was happening. Tomorrow, we head to West Palm Beach, FL — where power, wealth, and influence allowed horrific abuse to continue unchecked for far too long. We’ll hear directly from survivors.

(1/2) To kick off Police Week, I visited Fairfax County’s Public Safety Wellness Center, which provides critical mental health, counseling, and peer support services for first responders and public safety personnel across our community.

Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, and mother figures whose love and support strengthen our families and communities across Virginia. Thank you for all that you do!

(1/2) The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton has become one of Northern Virginia’s defining cultural institutions, creating a space for creativity, education, and community connection through the arts.

Trump called affordability a “line of bullshit.”  Tell that to the millions of families paying $4 a gallon for gas and watching grocery bills climb every week.

Piece by piece, Donald Trump is trying to dismantle the safeguards that protect free and fair elections — from weakening the Voting Rights Act to targeting voter rolls and undermining election cybersecurity. This is an assault on democracy itself. And we are going to fight back.

This Public Service Recognition Week, I had the chance to meet the incredible public safety communicators who answer 911 calls in our community. Their work is demanding, fast-paced, and essential to keeping residents safe.

Lutnick said Epstein was so disturbing he cut ties — while later taking his wife and kids to the convicted predator’s island for lunch. Watching him try to explain that contradiction was embarrassing. He should resign.

The Volunteer Fairfax Volunteer Service Awards honor & celebrate the people whose service strengthens our communities. Volunteers are the backbone of Fairfax County, showing up for neighbors & causes that make our region stronger, kinder, and more connected. Congrats to all of this year’s honorees.

(1/2) Modernizing the federal government requires continued investment in advanced technology, digital transformation, and mission-ready systems.

(1/2) Northern Virginia is home to cutting-edge defense technologies that help strengthen our national security. At ECS’s radar facility in Chantilly, teams support advanced radar testing and produce systems used by NASA, the Department of Defense, and allied partners around the world.

Republicans are running a two-track Epstein investigation: one for Trump’s allies, one for everyone else. Lutnick should have answered questions on video. The public deserves to watch and judge for themselves whether he told the truth.

(1/2) Howard Lutnick was sweating through the most basic questions. That must be why Chairman Comer and Lutnick didn’t want the interview on video. It was a bad look.

(1/2) Today, we broke ground at Eastgate Square in Annandale, bringing a long-awaited vision to life with new homes, local businesses, and welcoming community space.

If you serve in the Cabinet, honesty to the American people is not optional. Lying is wrongdoing. Secretary Lutnick lied about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and today we will hold him accountable and demand answers.

At a time when families are struggling to afford groceries and gas, Republicans are trying to sneak $1 BILLION for Trump’s golden ballroom into the reconciliation bill. The same ballroom he promised wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime.

Tomorrow I question Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He already lied about visiting Epstein’s island. I’ll be pressing him for answers.

Bondi avoided rescheduling her hearing for weeks – it took filing contempt charges to bring her in.   We need answers: who authorized illegal redactions of the files, who blocked the full release, and why is the White House still covering this up?

(1/2) Pam Bondi is set to testify about the White House Epstein files cover-up on May 29. Comer must ensure it's filmed & released publicly. If she doesn't fully cooperate & answer every question, we must compel her testimony.

Serving VA-11 means making sure you’re not facing federal challenges alone. My team and I are committed to helping our community get answers and results when dealing with federal agencies. If you need assistance, submit a casework request at walkinshaw.house.gov

The path to Eagle Scout is built on service, perseverance, and leadership. It represents years of hard work and a lasting commitment to making a difference in the community. Congrats to the Scouts of Troop 869 on earning this extraordinary achievement and setting an example for the next generation.

Since the day Trump launched his dangerous and unnecessary war with Iran, Virginia families have been writing to me — scared, uncertain, worried about rising costs. Here’s what I want you to know.

Fairfax County Special Education PTA does incredible work supporting special education students, families, and educators across Fairfax. This year’s awards featured more than 200 nominees—an amazing reflection of the people going above and beyond for our students every day.

Honored to join FACETS for FACETS by the River, an evening centered on community, empathy, and honoring Gerry Connolly’s legacy. Proud to support their mission to help neighbors facing homelessness and housing instability. Stability creates mobility. Partnership creates opportunity.

Applications are now open for VA-11’s 2026 Youth Leadership Council! High school students in grades 9–12 across Virginia’s 11th District are invited to apply to join me and my team in conversations about leadership, public service, and the issues young people care about.

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act this week. 60 years of progress — rolled back. This won't be the last word. I'm fighting alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and restore these protections.

Virginians know that gas prices are too damn high. We just need a handful of Republicans to show some courage & join us to pass a war powers resolution to end Trump’s war of choice.

(1/2): Thousands of Virginians went without pay as Republicans held DHS hostage so they could spend billions more on ICE brutality, per Trump's orders. As a Member of Homeland Dems, we fought to fund TSA, FEMA, the Secret Service, and more without another dime for ICE.

Ted Waitt was in a serious romantic relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell while she engaged in crimes with Epstein. He paid her millions for reasons that remain unknown. Today, @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social and I can finally ask: what did he know, and what did he see?

Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a direct attack on voting rights — and on the communities who fought hardest to secure them. My full statement ⬇️.

Pam Bondi ignored a bipartisan subpoena. Epstein survivors still await answers only she can give. It took a contempt resolution from @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social to force her in.

Pete Hegseth is before Congress today for the first time since Trump launched this dangerous war in Iran. Hegseth can recite talking points for Fox News, but I've sat in classified briefings with him. He is in over his head. Our servicemembers deserve better. He needs to go.
