After we learned of the leak, I submitted a request with
@raskin.house.gov and @eleanornorton.bsky.social for urgent federal funding to repair and modernize the Potomac Interceptor, and begin rehabilitating the damage.

Beyond addressing immediate impacts, we must also address the root cause of the spill. The failure of the Potomac Interceptor wastewater network underscores serious infrastructure vulnerabilities that must be promptly fixed to prevent a disaster like this from happening again.
We also continue to coordinate with the VA Dept. of Health to ensure clear guidance is available to protect Virginians from potential exposure and impacts. My team specifically asked for a Recreational Water Advisory for Virginia residents, which VDH issued.

Regional drinking water shouldn't be impacted, but the scale of the spill demands urgent action, transparency, and solutions.
We remain in contact with @prknetwork.bsky.social, which is testing water quality and tracking environmental impacts in real time.

The recent sewage spill into the Potomac River is a serious environmental and public health concern.
My office has been coordinating with the appropriate agencies since first learning of this spill to fix the Potomac Interceptor and ensure all risks are addressed.
Warmest wishes to all celebrating the Lunar New Year! As we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse, may it bring renewed energy and vibrant new beginnings.
Wishing you good health, success, and happiness in the year ahead.

The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse.

Trump officials finally admit what I've been saying for a year: "officials in the Commerce Department and US Trade Representative’s office believe [Trump's] tariffs [a]re hurting consumers by raising prices."
My bill would halt these tariffs immediately:

As the American people face intertwined affordability and environmental crises, Trump’s EPA is laser-focused on helping big polluters.
To be clear, these polluting gases *are* a threat to human life and public health. Trump and Zeldin are selling out the American people, again.

New Dems want to restore Congress’ power and responsibility to oversee international trade so that we can roll back the tariffs that are making everything on store shelves more expensive, and hurting so many of our small businesses.
Trump’s reckless, sweeping tariffs haven’t done anything to help families out at the grocery store—in fact, they’ve made things worse.
I'm proud to work with my colleagues on @newdems.bsky.social to roll out the New Dem Affordability Agenda.
One key element: we have to lower the price of groceries.
This starts by advancing smarter, more durable trade policies.
HUGE: last night we finally defeated Republicans' rule blocking votes on Trump's tariffs. Our first vote to end his tariffs -on Canada- just PASSED.
The vote was 219-211; I voted YES.
It goes to the Senate, which previously passed similar legislation. More tariff votes to come.
Trump's tariffs crushed our economy, raised prices, and alienated our allies.
Republicans passed rules preventing the House from voting to stop him.
We defeated that 'gag rule' last night, and now we're voting on ending Trump's tariffs on Canada.
Here's why I'm voting YES:
