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.
Following the unjustified slaughter of shipwrecked survivors and Trump’s threats of a new war against Venezuela, I’ve filed another War Powers Resolution. To my GOP colleagues: listen to your constituents—the American people don’t want another war.

Happy birthday to my friend @markwarner.bsky.social, who’s been stuck with me since law school! I’m proud to have worked for Virginia alongside you for all these years.
My statement on the tragic passing of Virginian Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov:
To all those lighting the first candle of Hanukkah tonight, I hope you’re able to find some comfort in celebrating the miracle of light which provided hope in a dark time.
The attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Australia is horrific. There is no place for antisemitism, and we must stand together to eradicate this evil. My heart is with Australia and the Jewish community around the world.
Happy 389th birthday to the U.S. National Guard. Today and every day, we thank our Guardsmen for all they do, especially during this holiday season when servicemembers across the country are being called away from their families.
The Army-Navy Game is one of the greatest rivalries and traditions in college sports. It’s going to be a great game. Hope
you’re tuning in!
Today, I met with health care providers and people affected by federal cuts to Medicaid and the expiration of the ACA subsidies. Stories like these are important as we keep pushing Republicans to fix the mess they've created and ensure Americans have access to affordable care.
Families of the Guardsmen shot in DC: you are owed vigorous prosecution of the criminal.
And if it's determined this mission was unlawful, responsible officials owe you an apology.

Trump admitted that his tariffs are hurting American farmers. But instead of undoing his cost-raising taxes, he wants to spend $12 billion in taxpayer money to put a band-aid on the problem. That's not a real solution. Trump's tariffs need to go.

My statement ahead of a vote on a three-year extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year, after Republicans failed to extend them as part of the budget bill they passed this summer to cut taxes for billionaires:
Yesterday, weeks after the CEO of Nvidia made a large contribution to the construction of Trump’s new White House ballroom, Trump announced he will allow Nvidia to sell H200 chips to China. I asked experts if this is a mistake that poses a grave threat to our national security. youtu.be/WlWX-jpuih8
It’s Human Rights Day. The Trump Administration has ordered extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and Pacific, sent people to torture centers in El Salvador, and cut billions in humanitarian aid. Defending universal human rights is more important than ever.
Today, @merkley.senate.gov and I tried to pass our bill to block funds for military action in Venezuela. Republicans blocked it.

We lost my sister-in-law, Tayloe, to Alzheimer’s this year. I know how painful this battle is and my prayers are with Andy and his family.
I'm grateful that my bipartisan bill to support those with Alzheimer’s was extended last year and will keep working to build on it.
Trump giving his economy an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” will be news to the thousands of Virginians I’ve spoken to over the past few months struggling with high costs.
Good news: my bipartisan legislation repealing the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for war against Iraq is in this year’s defense bill. When the President signs this bill into law, finally closing the book on this forever war, it will be a historic victory for the American people.
