Some Republicans have already publicly admitted they regret voting for massive health care cuts in the “Big, Ugly Bill.” On Health Care Day of Action, I’m asking you join me in urging GOP elected officials to reverse these cuts before it’s too late.
Investments in infrastructure are investments in our communities and economy. Last week, @markwarner.bsky.social and I were proud to announce over $48 million in funding for airports across Virginia to ensure safe, reliable, and easy travel for Virginians and visitors.
It’s been 105 years since the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
Today, we must recommit to protecting the right to vote and pushing back against efforts to disenfranchise Americans by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

In Republicans’ efforts to build the “GOLDEN AGE” of America, they voted to strip millions of their health care & hike energy costs – all while the price of everyday goods soar.
Let’s be honest, the only people experiencing the “GOLDEN AGE” under this regime are billionaires.
Happy birthday to the National Park Service! I hope you’ll visit one of Virginia’s national parks today. We must continue to protect NPS and these amazing treasures, including from the Trump Administration’s massive cuts to federal funding.
Servicemembers and their families make countless sacrifices for our country. That's why I was glad to secure a 3.8% pay raise and millions in funding to improve barracks, on-base child care centers, and more in the Senate's draft defense bill. Let's get it across the finish line.
Trump is making it near-unaffordable to have a family. Back-to-school essentials cost an average of 7.3% more than last year and school lunch staples cost 5% more this year—and Trump’s increased tariffs are about to make the problem worse.

This Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, I'm thinking of all who have lost their lives or a loved one to fentanyl. I’m thankful my bill to strengthen the DOD's role in addressing fentanyl trafficking is now law. I’m committed to building on that success to keep Virginians safe.
Virginia is home to one of the largest populations of veterans in the United States, and they deserve our full support. I am committed to protecting our heroes from Trump’s gutting of the VA and mass federal workforce layoffs that disproportionately affect them.
In the past eight months, Trump has enacted chaotic, regressive policies and our economy is paying the price. Here are the top five ways Trump is creating a cost-of-living crisis:

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Trump Administration’s plans to pull federal funding from the Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William County Public School Districts:
My statement on the three-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act being signed into law:
At a time when prices are already too high, this is a flashing red warning light that the full force of Trump’s tariffs is going to hit American families hard.

90 years ago, FDR created Social Security to provide a crucial safety net for retirees and people with disabilities.
But if Congress doesn't act, the Social Security Trust Fund could be insolvent by 2033.
Senator Cassidy and I have a proposal to help.

Anne and I recently had a wonderful surprise: a kind soul in SWVA called to tell us they discovered my father-in-law Linwood Holton’s Navy footlocker from when he piloted a captured Japanese submarine to the U.S. after WWII. After nearly 80 years, I’m glad it made its way back to our family.
Inflation continued to raise prices and squeeze already-tight budgets last month—even before Trump hiked his global tariffs on August 1. Trump promised to lower costs on day one. It’s been over 200 days since his inauguration and in those 200 days we’ve seen the exact opposite.
My statement on the anniversary of the white supremacist attack in Charlottesville:

Just so we’re clear: when Trump & Republicans go after renewable energy what they’re really doing is forcing Americans to pay more on their energy bills. This move – to illegally stop a program that helps working families save $$ by installing solar panels – will do just that.

The three worst months of hiring since… the last time Donald Trump was president.
Trump ran on improving the economy. He has a failing record.
My statement on President Trump placing the D.C. Police Department under federal control and deploying the National Guard in the District:
