DOJ’s failure to meet today’s deadline to release the entire Epstein files conflicts with the law Congress passed and Trump signed, mandating the full release. DOJ must comply with the law NOW. We won’t stop fighting for justice for the victims and to bring the truth to light.

Huge news: after many years, my bipartisan bill with Senator Todd Young to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force against Iraq was signed into law. This is a historic win for Americans and allows us to close the book on this forever war.
Miners and their families take on enormous burdens to power the country. It's unacceptable that many families of deceased miners struggle to access their benefits, so @markwarner.bsky.social and I introduced a bill to cut red tape and make it easier for them to get the resources they need.
Hanukkah feels somber this year as we mourn those murdered in the antisemitic attack in Australia. As Jews around the world light their menorahs, we are reminded of the miracle and that even on the darkest nights, we can find hope in the light.

Earlier this year, Trump made massive cuts to humanitarian aid. New research shows that this year alone, 200,000 children under five will needlessly die because of these cruel cuts. I’m doing all I can to restore this funding and save innocent children’s lives.

Student loan debt is holding VA families and the economy back. It should be easier, not harder, for students to afford to go to college if that is the right path for them. That’s why I’m introducing bipartisan legislation to end an antiquated tax on student loan borrowers.
Beyond proud that Virginia is now represented in the Capitol by Barbara Rose Johns, a trailblazer who led protests against conditions in her school that helped end segregation in the U.S.
I’ve heard from Korean Americans in Virginia about how their families were separated after the Korean War. That's why I'm glad that my bipartisan bill to help facilitate their reunification passed and will soon be signed into law.
Great news: after years of hard work, Congress passed legislation today to end the authorization for the U.S. to wage war against Iraq. Senator Todd Young and I are thankful to all the veterans whose tireless advocacy made this historic day possible.

Heating your house is about to get a lot more expensive. Families are already struggling to make ends meet—they shouldn't have to worry about staying warm as temperatures plummet. I’ll keep fighting Trump's corrupt energy agenda, a key culprit behind rising energy costs.
My statement applauding the Senate passage of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act, which includes key provisions I secured to advance national security, support servicemembers and their families, boost VA’s defense industry, and strengthen relations with our allies:
My statement on the Coast Guard enacting a new policy calling swastikas and nooses ‘potentially divisive’—a significant downgrade from their previous classification as hate symbols—in the Guard’s workplace harassment guidance:
Nearly one million more Americans are unemployed today than when the year started. The Trump economy: fewer jobs, higher prices, slower growth. Americans deserve better.
@warnock.senate.gov and I are calling out the Trump Administration for making changes to disability accommodation policies that harm federal workers. These changes violate the law barring discrimination against those with disabilities and harm employee retention and productivity.
Miners have risked their lives to power our nation for generations. I’m proud to reintroduce legislation to reduce barriers for brave miners and retirees with black lung disease, so they can receive the coverage, benefits, compensation, and legal representation they deserve.
Today marks 252 years since the Boston Tea Party, when patriots dumped hundreds of tea chests into the ocean to protest Britain's unfair tariff policies. Now Americans are once again facing unfair tariffs that are driving up prices. I'll keep challenging Trump's tariffs. youtube.com/shorts/qzO2N...
Trump’s White House Chief of Staff admitted Trump is bombing boats in the Caribbean because he wants regime change in Venezuela. How is that America First? And I thought he said this was all about drug trafficking? Enough with this chaos.
Something to celebrate: my bill ending the forever wars against Iraq made it into this year’s defense bill. When the President signs this into law, it will be a great day for our servicemembers and our country.

At 4:30 am on a night in December 2020, I recorded the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue from the U.S. Capitol. Today, he'll be replaced by Barbara Rose Johns, who led a protest of conditions in her all-Black school in Farmville that eventually helped end segregation in America.
In March, I sounded the alarm about low staffing levels at the new Veterans Affairs clinic in Chesapeake. Sec. Collins called me a liar, but now the VA plans to cut 35,000 health care positions—forcing veterans to wait longer to see fewer doctors. Our veterans deserve better.
