The Trump-Vance Administration thinks AI risks are a hoax. The American people know AI safety measures are needed. Democrats will put appropriate regulation in place.

Could you ever have imagined a President threatening to annihilate another country? At our best, America has been a strong, resolute, reliable neighbor, not a global bully. We need leaders who'll bring us back to that. That isn't Donald Trump.

Congressional Republicans' SNAP cuts ripped food assistance away from 110,000+ Virginians. No one should have to skip meals or go to school hungry. We need to reverse these cuts. richmond.com/news/state-r...

Farmers were already getting crushed by the Trump-Vance Administration’s tariffs. Now they can’t afford diesel for their tractors or fertilizer for their fields because of the war. Instead of helping them, President Trump is fixating on plans for a ridiculous 250ft arch! www.npr.org/2026/09/21/n...
How a national farm leader is dealing with record diesel prices
John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, says soaring diesel costs are deepening a farm crisis as farmers face sharply higher fuel costs in the middle of harvest season.

Donald Trump’s promise of $5,000 checks sounds like a bribe to me. Instead of making promises he won’t keep, he should focus on actually making life more affordable for Americans by ending his stupid tariffs and illegal wars that drive up costs.

This is a massive mistake. The Chesapeake Bay plays a critical role in Virginia's economy and seafood industries, and we must take steps to protect the waters and shores of the region. I'm going to do everything I can to fight this. www.wboc.com/news/trump-a...
Trump Administration repeals Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration Executive Order
President Trump is repealing an executive order from 2009 dedicated to protecting and restoring the Chesapeake Bay.

I joined my colleagues in urging the Department of Education to reinstate critical guidelines that protect students from discrimination in career and technical education programs. Fair and equitable access to CTE is essential to our students and the strength of our economy.

Donald Trump says he'd "bomb the s--- out of" Oman, a U.S. ally, if it gets in the way of his illegal war with Iran. What an idiotic idea. That’s why I filed a War Powers Resolution to prevent another foolish war.

Last week in Fredericksburg, I held a roundtable on affordable housing and how we can make it easier for Virginians to find a place they can afford to call home. As a former fair housing attorney, I’ll keep fighting to expand access to affordable housing.

Last week in Richmond, @mcclellan.house.gov , @dannyavula.bsky.social, Virginia Health and Human Resources, local leaders, and I discussed how rising costs of gas, groceries, housing, and child care are squeezing families. We're going to keep fighting to lower costs.

I oppose this legislation because I worry that the passage of inadequate cryptocurrency regulation will give Americans a false sense of security and fail to protect consumers from the corruption, fraud, and money laundering that is all too rampant in this industry.

The Senate failed to advance a major cryptocurrency regulation bill because Democrats blocked the measure over concerns that it does not go far enough to stop federal officials’ digital asset dealings, including President Trump’s.

Five years ago today, the U.S., U.K., and Australia launched AUKUS. I'm proud to have championed the legislation to implement and strengthen this historic partnership—advancing a free Indo-Pacific and further solidifying Virginia's leadership in shipbuilding.
