Virginia’s redistricting referendum gives voters the power to respond. To a President who says he’s “entitled” to more GOP seats in Congress before Americans vote in the midterms. To efforts in other states to give those seats to him. Join me in voting YES by April 21.

The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide to cease processing passport applications, disrupting a long-standing service...-AP Weird, now it's harder to get a passport, right when the SAVE Act might require one to vote.

Smart profile. She is doing what she was elected to do. By a landslide. If anyone thought she would allow ICE to run roughshod thru Va like they did other places around the country, you don't know her toughness, ethics, morality, and courage to do the right thing. And you didn't listen to her campaign. Being a moderate does not mean being a wet noodle to some of Trump's most heinous policies. nytimes.com/2026/02/16/us/po…

🚨The Virginia Senate and House of Delegates both passed bills to raise Virginia’s minimum wage to $15/hour!   Virginians are stretching their paychecks more than ever, but wages haven't kept up.   I look forward to signing this legislation into law to give Virginians a raise.

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

Preliminary numbers from the June 17 Democratic Primary show the highest turnout for Dems without a governor’s race on the ballot—going back to the 1990s. 📊 See the data: vpap.org/visuals/visual/stat…

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The story of his detainment is horrifying, all of us must share his story and demand his quick and safe return. An assault on the due process rights of anyone is a threat to the due process rights of everyone.
