I’m tired of our incredible immigrant communities being demonized with labels like “illegals.” We don’t use that term to describe any other type of human being, including those convicted of serious crimes.
How can anyone believe Trump’s claims that ICE crackdowns are about crime when ICE is busy detaining preschoolers like Liam? Kids should be in school and safe at home with their families—not in detention centers 1,000 miles from home. It’s cruel. youtu.be/0gMqWklcuoI
The right to free speech is a core pillar of a healthy and thriving democracy. Targeting citizens for voicing their disagreements with this Administration’s policies is a totalitarian overreach of power. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
Fixed this! Trump’s chaotic tariff “plan” is clear: there is no plan. He’s happy to upend global markets depending on whoever compliments him the most. The economy cannot depend on one man’s ego.
A New York Times headline rewritten to read: "The Key to Managing Tariffs: Inflate the President’s Ego."
67 years ago today, Lance Newman, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskins, and Gloria Thompson made history in Arlington as the first students to desegregate a Virginia public school. Their courage forged a path for future integration across the Commonwealth.
At 8:45 a.m. on Feb. 2, 1959, four students – Lance Newman, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskins, and Gloria Thompson – entered Arlington's Stratford Junior High School, making them the first to desegregate a Virginia public school. Hear from the history makers: https://bit.ly/4gp4k6j

Last year, the Trump Admin put out a list of so-called "sanctuary cities." For Virginia, it had a county that doesn't exist and erroneously listed a town of 73 people as one. What a joke. If Americans don't like their local leaders' policies, they can vote them out. youtube.com/shorts/_SOqL...
Trump is pushing for Republicans to “take over the voting in at least 15 places.” An authoritarian takeover of our electoral process—all because Trump’s ego can’t handle the fact that he lost in 2020—has no place in our democracy.
Trump says Republicans should ‘nationalize’ elections
Congratulations to Virginia Beach’s Pharrell Williams and Clipse, Woodbridge’s Shaboozey, and Richmond’s Mad Skillz on their Grammy wins last night. You make the Commonwealth proud!
It’s Black History Month! This month and always, we celebrate the many contributions of Black Americans in VA and across the U.S. I'm inspired by Black leaders who have changed VA for the better, like Barbara Rose Johns, whose contribution is now honored in the Capitol.

I’m glad Senate Republicans are standing down on a nonsensical amendment to allow certain Republican senators the special ability to enrich themselves to the tune of millions of taxpayer-dollars.
Tulsi Gabbard—who has a long history of promoting bizarre conspiracy theories—was at the election office raid in Fulton County, Georgia. This whole “investigation” is a massive waste of federal resources expended to protect the ego of an overly sensitive President who can’t accept he lost.
Hoy me alegré de reunirme nuevamente con Maria Corina Machado para conversar sobre la necesidad de que se celebren elecciones este año en Venezuela. El pueblo venezolano debe tener el control de su economía, su gobierno y su futuro.
Today, I was glad to meet with Maria Corina Machado again to discuss the need for elections to be held this year in Venezuela. The Venezuelan people must be in the driver’s seat of their economy, government, and future.

Rather than fulfill the responsibilities of the job he was elected to do in 2024, Trump is instead attempting to rewrite history by raiding an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, and fueling long-debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Unbelievable.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the one-year anniversary of the midair collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport:
"One year ago, 67 people – passengers, airline personnel, and members of the U.S. Armed Forces – died in a midair collision that never should have happened in the first place and must never happen again. Among the dead were more than a dozen of our Virginia constituents, including children and parents returning from a figure skating event in Kansas. Over the past year, we’ve been in touch with the families of those who lost their lives. Our hearts go out to the families, friends, and communities for whom today marks a grim and tragic anniversary, and will continue to do all that we can to work together to enhance safety for the flying public."
