My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Republican-led effort to cancel $8.3 billion in federal funding previously appropriated by a bipartisan majority in Congress for national security programs and keeping Americans safe:

Yes or no: If the U.S. has ALREADY purchased specialty foods to keep kids from starving to death, should we deliver that food to dying kids or allow it to spoil, and destroy it? It’s a simple question, but the Trump Administration can’t answer it. Disgusting.

Folks are locked out of the workforce by a lack of affordable child care.
Child care workers are pushed out of their field by low wages.
My bill with @bobbyscott.house.gov and @murray.senate.gov would cap child care costs at 7% of families' incomes and support child care workers. Let's pass it.
Numbers don’t lie: Trump’s haphazard tariffs are bad for the economy and bad for your wallet.
I’m horrified SCOTUS is allowing Trump to gut the Department of Education. This will hurt every student, weaken access to civil rights protections, and stunt our competitiveness for decades to come. We should invest more in future generations, not less. This is shameful.
In Vinton, I met with local officials, parents, and the leadership of the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest Virginia. The club is critical to supporting students and families, but the Trump Administration has paused federal funding they rely on and must release these funds ASAP.
Big news: this year’s defense bill passed out of committee with provisions I secured to strengthen our national security, support VA’s military installations, invest in shipbuilding, and improve quality of life for servicemembers and their families. Next stop: the Senate floor.
It's a difficult time for UVA and those who care about our schools. I had an important discussion with UVA students, faculty and staff on Friday to talk about President Trump's attacks on our universities and will keep doing everything I can to stand up for Virginia’s schools.
My statement on reports that the Trump Administration will soon fire nearly 15 percent of the State Department’s domestic workforce:
Great start to the day! @markwarner.bsky.social and I were glad to celebrate the achievements of Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts from VA, many of whom have earned the Gold Award or the rank of Eagle Scout, in D.C. As a former Boy Scout, I had a great time speaking with these future leaders.
My statement after President Trump pledged a 50 percent tariff on goods from Brazil in response to steps the country is taking to hold its former president accountable for attempting a coup:
My statement on Virginia slipping in CNBC’s Top States for Business ranking:
Virginia’s institutions of higher learning must remain places of academic freedom, critical thinking and open dialogue. The last thing we need is a deeply unpopular administration undermining one of the key factors in our success. My latest w/ @markwarner.bsky.social for @richmond.com:

"If Congress doesn’t act, the Social Security Trust Fund will be insolvent as soon as 2033, and millions of Americans who have been paying into the program will see a significant portion of their promised benefits cut."
The latest from Sen. Bill Cassidy and Sen. Tim Kaine (@kaine.senate.gov):
Despite my opposition, the GOP passed a partisan megabill that gives the ultra-wealthy tax breaks by massively cutting nutrition benefits—and food banks don’t have the resources to fill the impending gap. This is wrong. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

Equal protection under law. The right to due process. The promise that everyone born on American soil is treated as a citizen.
The 14th Amendment is clear: Trump is not a king. He can’t re-write it – no matter how hard he may try.
157 years ago, the 14th Amendment was ratified—guaranteeing equal protection and due process under law and birthright citizenship. I’ll continue to stand up against Trump Administration’s illegal attempts to unilaterally end birthright citizenship and roll back civil rights.
