The swift delivery of aid is a crucial part of helping hard-hit communities recover from disasters—I saw this firsthand when traveling in SWVA after Hurricane Helene. Trump forcing survivors to wait in limbo for help is a failure of leadership.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on Augusta Medical Group’s announcement that three practice locations—Weyers Cave Urgent Care, Buena Vista Primary Care, and Churchville Primary Care—will close in response to the GOP’s ‘Big, Ugly’ Bill’s major health care cuts:
My statement on the Supreme Court’s move to greenlight racial profiling:
The only energy crisis in the U.S. is the one Trump created himself. I’m forcing a vote on my legislation to end the sham emergency Trump declared on day one of his presidency.

Trump thought firing the people who crunched the numbers would change the truth, but it didn’t: his tariff chaos is slowing the economy and costing jobs.
Today's report is just the latest sign of Trump’s failing economy — and it's only getting worse.
Trump inherited the strongest economy in the world. What has he done with it?
Unemployment is up. Job creation is down. Manufacturing jobs are lost.
Trump’s policies are failing.
This week, Senator Susan Collins and I introduced legislation to reauthorize programs that will train the next generation of health care providers who care for older Americans. I urge all my colleagues to pass this bipartisan bill.
As an avid hiker, I’ve seen how the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and other partners work to protect our national trails. That’s why I introduced a bill to strengthen these public-private efforts and preserve these lands for future generations.
I’m thrilled Hitachi Energy is expanding its footprint in Virginia by investing $457 million to build a state-of-the-art power transformer facility in South Boston—creating more than 800 jobs and boosting the region’s economy. I'll keep working to boost manufacturing in VA.
Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill included massive SNAP cuts that will rip nutrition assistance away from millions of people across the country, including tens of thousands in Virginia, and potentially force your local grocery store to close.
Infrastructure upgrades create jobs, spur economic development, and improve lives. Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped pass, VA has received billions to improve roads, bridges, and airports. I'm committed to reauthorizing it so we can keep building on our progress.
Happy Virginia African Diaspora Heritage Month! I’m grateful for the African diaspora’s economic, cultural, and social contributions to Virginia. I’m proud to be leading a bill to designate a National African Diaspora Heritage Month to recognize these invaluable achievements.

President Trump decided to kill energy projects that are nearly done, because he doesn’t like wind and solar. We all know our country overall needs more energy, not less. (1/2)
Happy Labor Day! Thank you to all of Virginia’s workers who keep our Commonwealth and nation running. I will always fight for stronger protections, fair wages, and a safe work environment for every Virginian.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social and @bobbyscott.house.gov on the Trump Administration’s withdrawal of funding for Fairwinds Landing:
DOGE uploaded millions of Americans' information, including Social Security numbers and addresses, to a cloud server despite warnings that it would put Americans' data at risk from criminals and foreign governments. There should be a thorough Inspector General investigation.
Unemployment in Virginia has risen every month this year. Trump is hurting our economy through his idiotic tariffs, gutting of the federal workforce, and illegal halting of federal funding. I’ll keep fighting his reckless policies.

AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly's decision to build plants in Albemarle and Goochland counties is a testament to our strong education system, talented workforce, and innovation in advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing. I'm excited that Virginia lawmakers advanced these projects yesterday.
Trump fired his CDC Director after just weeks. He also just forced the interim U.S. attorney in the Western District of Virginia to resign soon after DOJ appointed him. Trump is turning respected agencies into punching bags.

62 years ago today, Dr. King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington. Dr. King’s words continue to inspire me, especially as Trump works to roll back the progress we’ve made. It is up to all of us to protect, uphold, and advance his dream for our nation.
