I voted against the House Republican bill to redirect federal funds to fraudulent so-called “crisis pregnancy centers,” which are just forced birth clinics.
The last thing pregnant women need is someone playing pretend doctor when they are experiencing a health crisis.

Roe v. Wade affirmed a woman’s right to bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom, but Republicans have since rolled that progress back and continue attacking women’s access to care.
We must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify Roe's protections into federal law.
I just voted against the appropriations "minibus," including the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act.
Here's my statement explaining why:

ICE agents in Minnesota detained at least four children from the same school district, including a 5-year-old, deepening skepticism about the Trump administration’s claims of targeting violent criminals. https://wapo.st/4sQVmpA

Israel is actively stealing Palestinian land in the West Bank. Palestinians are being forced to leave and their homes are being destroyed.
Secretary Rubio has acknowledged that these actions undermine peace. I joined my colleagues to demand Secretary Rubio stand up against Israel’s bullying.
Trump promised to lower prices, and broke that promise.
He's failing miserably on inflation.
Prices for health care, electricity, groceries, housing, and transportation are shooting up.
Trump's stupid tariffs and other policies are making it worse.
Glad to see @governorva.bsky.social and the General Assembly moving to ensure Virginia rejoins the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. RGGI helped bring millions of dollars for clean energy and flood mitigation, and will help lower costs for Virginians. A good deal for our Commonwealth.
Republicans want us to vote to fund more of this.
Hell no.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

It's good that Trump is backing down on his brainless Greenland threats, but this did a lot of damage with our allies that could a very long time to repair. All for nothing.
It is, however, building and emboldening opposition to tariffs within Trump's own party in Congress.

NEW: The National Weather Service has raised the winter storm threat to its highest level for Sunday for the entire DC region.
This means a high threat of a high impact winter storm that causes significant travel delays, closures and threats to life and property.
Trump is abusing his authority by levying tariffs that raise Americans' prices, hurt our economy, and alienate our closest allies.
Johnson and Republicans in Congress are letting him do it.
The Speaker should reread the Constitution.
Article I vests "power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises" and [t]o regulate commerce with foreign nations" entirely with the Congress.
Article II gives none of these powers to the President.

Trump claims inflation is “defeated.” Tell that to Virginia families who paid $1,269 more last year.
Instead of lowering costs, Trump is fueling chaos abroad and fear at home. Americans deserve better.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for last week’s Women’s Conference and an inspiring conversation with women leaders on resilience, hope, and service to our community.
It was also an honor to recognize Nancy Eslick for her remarkable career with USAID!
