Thrilled to see Jefferson Lab break ground on their new High Performance Data Facility in Newport News. I was glad to help secure federal funding for the project, which will support scientific discoveries and reaffirm Virginia's role as a national tech leader.

Happy Loving Day! 59 years ago, Virginia couple Mildred and Richard Loving won a landmark Supreme Court case that ended state bans on interracial marriage. Today, let’s celebrate their love, strength, and perseverance, while committing ourselves to fight against racism and discrimination.

I'm shocked but not surprised to hear that, at a time when families are worried about making ends meet, President Trump is building a giant wrestling cage in front of the partially-demolished White House to celebrate his birthday. What a perfect summary of this Administration.

A report found that 13 rural Virginia hospitals are at risk of closure—in part because of last year’s huge Medicaid cuts. For many Virginians, these hospitals are the only source of care. I will keep pushing to reverse the cuts and do more to support rural care.

A recent national survey found Americans’ confidence in the economy is the lowest it’s been in over sixty years. The reason? President Trump’s chaotic tariff policies and his illegal war in Iran.

Inflation just reached a three-year high. Gas prices are up by 41% since last year. The cost of groceries is soaring. Americans are paying the price for Trump’s illegal war in Iran—and it’s clearly time for Congress to come together to put a stop to it.

Every day, military spouses make sacrifices for our country. They deserve our support. That's why I joined @MarkWarner in a letter to the Office of Personnel Management regarding the lack of progress in improving the retention of federal employees who are military spouses.

Today is the Equal Pay Act's 63rd birthday. Signed by JFK, it was meant to ensure equal pay for all. But last year, women in VA still earned about 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. I am committed to passing the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the wage gap.

The success of future generations and our economy depend on America’s teachers. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill alongside @RepJahanaHayes to provide funding for school districts to enhance or establish mentoring and induction programs for new educators. Let's break it down:

Virginia families are already feeling the impact of Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid that were part of their tax giveaway bill for the uber-wealthy. A string of hospital closures and new work requirements will make it harder than ever to access care. Here’s what that means:

Secretary Hegseth is blocking the promotions of senior military officers for no reason. These patriotic Americans have earned their promotions based on merit, and Hegseth is standing in the way.

On the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day, we honor the brave servicemembers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Their legacy continues to live on, and we must never forget the sacrifices these heroes made in defense of our freedom and freedom around the world.

America's public lands—including the incredible Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—belong to all of us. But now the Trump-Vance Administration is auctioning it off to their Big Oil cronies that already have plenty of other areas to drill.
This Friday @Interior will hold an oil/gas lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest undeveloped landscapes in North America. This is the first of at least four before 2035.

Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. While I’m glad we’ve made progress by passing gun safety legislation, we must keep working to keep our communities safe and prevent needless tragedies. I’ll keep pushing for my Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act to become law.

Yesterday, the House passed a resolution to end President Trump’s illegal war in Iran. This, alongside the Senate’s vote to advance my measure to end the conflict, means we're making critical progress.
