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.
“Most senior White House officials parse their words and speak only on background,” reports Vanity Fair writer Chris Whipple. “But over many on-the-record conversations, [Susie] Wiles answered almost every question I put to her.”
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.
Washington Post headline reading "VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs"
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.

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.
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.

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:
"Later today, the Senate will vote on simple legislation to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans and nearly four hundred thousand Virginians. I have heard from countless constituents about the difference this extension would make for their families, who are already struggling with high prices on everything else, from food to housing and energy. The floodlights will be on my Republican colleagues, who know that the American people—78 percent of whom support extending these tax credits—expect them to vote for this legislation. If they don’t, they could very well be replaced at the ballot box by someone who will."
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.
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.
A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.
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.
