Happy National Public Lands Day! I hope you’ll get some fresh air in one of Virginia’s national parks today while entrance fees are waived.
I promise to keep working to protect the National Park Service and our public lands from the Trump Administration’s cuts to federal funding.

Pam Bondi’s statement on former FBI Director James Comey’s indictment says it all: retribution against Trump’s enemies first, facts second, if at all.

The American people want Trump to focus on lowering the cost of groceries, health care, housing, and other necessities.
Instead, he’s using the power of the presidency to go after his perceived political enemies. What a waste.

I was glad to celebrate 50 years of the NRV Area Agency on Aging and congratulate former Executive Director Tina King, who retired in January, on 42 years of service. I will keep working to reauthorize the Older Americans Act to support older Americans.
Great visit with @unitedwaycville.bsky.social touring the Barrett Early Learning Center—one of the oldest child care centers in VA. I’ve been proud to get legislation signed into law to expand access to child care, and I’ll keep fighting to pass my legislation to build on this progress.

Yesterday, I visited Charlottesville Free Clinic to learn more about how they’re providing quality care to Virginians—even amid Trump’s massive cuts to health care. I will keep pushing to reverse these cuts and work to expand care for all and boost the health care workforce.
My statement on the Trump Administration’s malicious prosecution of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey:
68 years ago, the Little Rock Nine—facing angry mobs of classmates and neighbors—stood strong with the 101st Airborne Division and integrated Central High. Their bravery and perseverance serve as a guide for us all as we continue to fight discrimination and hate in all forms.
I’m back from a trade mission to Ottawa with VA leaders. I appreciated speaking with Canadian business leaders, Canada Senator Peter Harder, Canada's Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman, and Canadian Minister of National Defense David McGuinty about the U.S.-Canada economic relationship.
Trump and the GOP developed a budget plan with no Dem input. Dems offered an alternative that protects folks’ health care. Trump said he’d meet to negotiate, but then canceled the meeting. Why does he want to shut the government down AND take health care away from millions?
Last week, I called out the Trump Administration for failing to answer basic questions about why it attacked boats in the Caribbean, if they were actually drug boats, why it didn’t interdict to gain important intel on narco kingpins, and who exactly was killed. We need answers. youtu.be/_fGRd_vdFdU
When I was a fair housing attorney, I saw the crucial role fair housing laws played in protecting folks from discrimination when buying or renting. But the Trump Administration isn’t upholding these protections, leaving veterans, single moms, and millions of others vulnerable.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social after President Trump canceled a meeting with Democratic leadership on government funding:
Reality check: Untreated fevers in pregnant moms can lead to risks to both mom and baby. No evidence suggests a causal relationship between Tylenol usage and autism.
This is a dangerous attempt to distract Americans from RFK Jr.’s incompetence and Trump's health care cuts.
First he imposed tariffs on Brazil, raising costs for Americans. Then he sanctioned the judge who oversaw Bolsonaro’s prosecution. Now he’s sanctioning the judge’s wife? This is a blatant abuse of power. Trump cares more about helping his friend than helping the American people.
First, President Trump failed to lower grocery prices like he promised. Then, he slashed food stamp funding, yanking critical support away from 78,000 people in Virginia alone.
No wonder he doesn't want to track hunger in America.

As Rosh Hashanah begins tonight, I’m wishing our Jewish community in Virginia and beyond a safe, healthy, and meaningful new year. Shana Tova!
Trump and congressional Republicans created a health care crisis: families are facing skyrocketing premiums, and hundreds of rural hospitals face the risk of closure.
What did Republicans do in response? They voted down legislation to fix the problem. Unbelievable.
Did you know that today is National Wife Appreciation Day? Anne—you make every day brighter!
