Earlier this week, I had the honor of talking with Virginians who would be hurt by the planned GOP cuts to nutrition assistance. Heartbreakingly, their stories are not uncommon—millions more, including children, would be hurt across the country. I’m fighting against that.
It’s National Trails Day. As a lover of hiking and the outdoors, I’m concerned by the recent cuts to the National Park Service–threatening the long-term maintenance of our parks and trails. I’ll keep doing all I can to protect our natural treasures and the economies that rely on them.

Maternity care costs can make existing health disparities even worse. My bipartisan bill would change that by making childbirth, including prenatal and postpartum care, more accessible. Let’s get it done and keep working together to make health care more affordable.
It’s Gun Violence Awareness Day. While I’m grateful to have helped pass crucial gun safety legislation into law, my heart is heavy when I think of those who have suffered due to gun violence. We need to keep seeking bipartisan solutions to make our communities more safe.
On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, we remember and honor the brave servicemembers who stormed the beaches of Normandy to protect not only our nation—but the world—from tyranny. We must never forget these individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Trump’s idiotic tariffs are projected to slow GDP growth in America and around the world. I’m continuing to do all I can to keep him from driving our economy into a ditch.

Hi, folks! There’s a lot of awful stuff in the GOP tax bill—it’s hard to keep track. If you’ve been wanting to ask a senator about it, today you can! I’ll be on the @senatedems livestream on Instagram at 5 PM today answering questions from those who hop on. Hope to see y’all there.
During this year’s Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, I’m thinking of my sister-in-law Tayloe who died in March after a courageous 15-year battle with Alzheimer’s. I’m fighting for more research, more prevention and treatment options, and more support for caregivers.
The Department of Homeland Security put out a list of “sanctuary jurisdictions” in VA, including Martinsville County, which doesn't even exist! Per state law, there are no sanctuary cities or counties in VA. After I pointed that out, DHS deleted the list. Amateur hour.
I was horrified by the attack on peaceful protestors in Boulder on the eve of Shavuot. Violence has no place in our communities and we must condemn bigotry and antisemitism in all its forms. I’m grateful for the first responders and praying for the survivors and their families.
The GOP tax bill cuts SNAP (nutrition assistance) benefits for over 204,000 Virginians. Yesterday I toured Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank to highlight their critical work and heard powerful stories from SNAP recipients about how important SNAP is. I will always work to protect this vital program.

June is PTSD Awareness Month. Millions of Americans live with post-traumatic stress and deserve reliable access to quality mental health care. This month and always, I am dedicated to expanding access to care.
