In solidarity with America’s federal workers, I will not accept pay during this shutdown. I’ve been, and remain, ready to work in a bipartisan way to reopen the government and fix Republicans’ health care mess. It’s time for Republicans to meet us at the table.

I remain committed to finding a bipartisan solution to fund the government and protect American health care. Whenever Republicans are ready to stop pointing fingers and start working, I’m ready.
I joined @npr.org yesterday to discuss how Trump really began his government shutdown the day he was inaugurated, and what I’m hearing from Virginians about the need to prevent health care costs from rising.

Good job Coast Guard. Interdiction takes drugs off the streets and gives us evidence to go after kingpins. That should be the strategy in the Caribbean rather than illegally bombing boats that may or may not contain drugs.

An informative day yesterday at William & Mary touring the Bray School to underscore the need to preserve all our history in Virginia, and meeting with very impressive student researchers. I'll always work to secure the resources needed to shape future generations.
Trump talks a lot of game about his ability to make a deal, but when it’s time to put those words into action, he falls flat on his face. It’s been two weeks since the government shutdown, and he still has yet to negotiate a bipartisan solution.
When people can’t afford desperately needed health care, they suffer. That’s why this fight is so serious. It’s a matter of life and death.
Republicans have majorities in the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. They run this government. This is their shutdown.
This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the contributions of indigenous peoples and acknowledge the history of this land. I'm proud of my work with Tribal leaders to help six tribes in VA receive federal recognition. I'll continue working to support indigenous communities.
Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Navy! Today, we celebrate the bravery, sacrifice, and service of our Sailors protecting our nation and our freedom. As the Senate Seapower Subcommittee Ranking Member, I’ll keep working to support our Sailors and their families.
Happy National Farmer’s Day! In Virginia and across the U.S., farmers are critical to putting food on our tables and bolstering our economy, but Trump’s tariff policy is harming our farms, and not all will survive. I will continue to fight these tariffs and protect our farmers.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Trump Administration’s announcement of “substantial” layoffs of federal workers:
A 60-year-old couple in Virginia with an income between $63,450 and $105,750 could see their monthly premiums increase by as much as $1,076 per month if Republicans don’t come to the table to negotiate a deal to reopen the government AND fix their health care mess.
No parent should have to live in the fear that if their child becomes seriously hurt or sick, they won't be able to afford treatment. But millions of people are now in limbo, as the GOP health care mess will cause premiums to double. I'm fighting to fix that.
My bipartisan bill with Senator Todd Young to repeal the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs against Iraq passed the Senate! Leaving these AUMFs on the books runs the risk of potential misuse by any president. I’ll keep working to ensure this important provision remains in the final defense bill.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Trump Administration’s malicious prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James:
Virginians are already struggling with job losses and higher costs caused by the Trump Administration. Now Republican leadership wants their marketplace premiums to go up by more than double? We can’t let that happen.
Three rural clinics in Virginia are closing their doors because of Trump and the GOP’s Medicaid cuts—and more closures will come if we don’t restore this funding ASAP. My Republican colleagues must come to the negotiating table to save Medicaid and reopen the government.
You can't have a strong economy if Americans are buried under ridiculously high health care costs. It's time to clean up Republicans' health care mess and prevent Virginians' marketplace premiums from going through the roof.
This National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I will keep working to ensure survivors have the support they need and know they are not alone.
If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
