My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the General Assembly and Governor Abigail Spanberger’s approval of a new Virginia congressional map that now heads to Virginians for a referendum vote:
Donald Trump’s decision to prioritize redrawing voting maps across the country instead of focusing on lowering costs for families has created extraordinary circumstances for states like Virginia. There is now a temporary proposal aimed at preserving a fair playing field and protecting Virginia voters. While some states are moving ahead through partisan deals behind closed doors, Virginia is following its constitutional process and allowing voters to render the final judgment. We strongly support this effort and Virginia’s commitment to public transparency throughout the process.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the National Transportation Safety Board’s final report into the January 2025 midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport that killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft:
We thank the NTSB for its thorough investigation of last year’s horrific crash near DCA that took the lives of 67 people, and for its recommendations on how to make the airspace around DCA safer. We owe it to the families who lost loved ones on January 29, 2025, and all Americans to implement the NTSB’s recommendations to prevent another tragedy. (1/2)
We’re pleased that the House is expected to vote on the Senate-passed ROTOR Act, which addresses some of the systemic failures that led to this crash. But that alone won’t be enough. The NTSB report underscores the risk unsustainable traffic levels at DCA pose—as we have warned for many years. In the coming months, we will be working on legislation to reduce slots at DCA and meet the NTSB’s other safety recommendations. (2/2)
This Black History Month and always, let’s celebrate the accomplishments of Black Virginians, including the creator of Black History Month, Carter G. Woodson. As the Trump Administration attempts to rewrite history, it’s more important than ever to tell these stories. youtube.com/shorts/WoLgl...
I was honored to attend commemorative ceremonies for those who died in the 1942 Darwin bombings, including 88 brave American servicemembers who fought valiantly on the USS Peary. May their sacrifices remind us of the depth of our alliance with Australia—and never be forgotten.

As Ramadan begins this evening, I want to wish Muslim communities in Virginia and around the world a blessed and meaningful month. I hope this time brings peace and prosperity to all observing. Ramadan Mubarak!

This week, I spoke with VA community college leaders. Key provisions of my bill to expand Pell Grants to cover high-quality, short-term job training programs were signed into law, and it was great to discuss ways to build on this to help Virginians access good-paying jobs.

Is Trump trying to ruin Valentine’s Day? Because of his idiotic economic policies, like his tariffs, V-Day is set to be over 15% more expensive than last year. People should be able to celebrate their loved ones without worrying about sky-high prices.
Graphic reading: Trump's ax on love. Under Trump, Valentine's Day staples will cost families over 15% more this year--5 times overall inflation.
Graphic reading: Love is in the air--if you can afford it. Valentine's Daughter go-tos are up more than 15% since Trump took office.

Ray and Jean Boone and their family, together with all who worked for the Free Press, have played a critical role in the life of our Commonwealth and I’ll deeply miss reading the paper.
