Today, we honor and remember the 12 lives tragically lost six years ago in the horrific shooting in Virginia Beach. We must end gun violence by preserving and strengthening our gun safety laws to prevent future tragedies and protect our communities.
I condemn the Department of Labor’s decision to shut down Jobs Corps centers, including those in Monroe and Marion. These programs are a lifeline for young people in need—giving them direction and skills and helping them enter the workforce. This is not progress.
I forced a Senate vote on these tariffs weeks ago to clarify whether my colleagues stood by their constituents or followed Trump like lemmings. I welcome the Court ruling, and I’ll keep forcing votes every time I can to challenge Trump’s unlawful behavior.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social condemning the GOP tax plan for driving up costs and the deficit:
On this Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Together, we honor and express our deep gratitude to them and recommit to supporting Gold Star families.
It's been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered. I'm disturbed that the DOJ recently halted ongoing investigations and dropped police agreements put in place after his death and other similar incidents to improve oversight and prevent tragedies. That's dangerous.
Today, on the U.S. Foreign Service's 101st birthday, I thank Foreign Service Officers for their work promoting human rights and U.S. national security interests around the world—and I stand with them against reckless, mass cuts that will make Americans and the world less safe.
I was glad to be in Ottawa today for meetings with @mark-carney.bsky.social, members of his cabinet and Canadian business leaders alongside @shaheen.senate.gov, Senator Cramer, @klobuchar.senate.gov and @welch.senate.gov because our relationship with Canada is invaluable.
Republicans just voted to cut vital food assistance to over 200,000 Virginians, including children, and millions more across the nation. My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the cruelty of cuts to nutrition assistance:
My statement on the heartbreaking shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in DC last night:
For many, employer-sponsored retirement plans are a crucial to their long-term financial security. But one in four workers isn't taking advantage of these opportunities. I’m introducing legislation to help more Americans get enrolled so they can improve their financial footing.
With so much economic uncertainty, it's critical that we keep lowering health care costs. That's why I'm introducing a bipartisan bill to cut costs for maternal care and childbirth. I'll keep working to put great care within reach for moms and newborns throughout their lives.
Americans are struggling with price hikes caused by Trump’s trade wars. Instead of working to fix the economy, Trump accepted his $400 million luxury jet from Qatar today—an obvious bribe that is insulting to the American people and a threat to our national security. This is a failure of leadership.
My statement on the passing of my friend @connolly.house.gov:
Unvetted DOGE bros are rifling through millions of Americans’ personal information, posing serious privacy and national security risks. That’s why I’m introducing legislation with @markwarner.bsky.social to protect that information by increasing penalties for violating privacy laws.
The Inflation Reduction Act has supported 20,000+ Virginia jobs, cut energy costs, and helped us be leaders in the clean energy economy. The Republican budget would undo all of that progress by rolling back the Inflation Reduction Act to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
Overdose deaths have stolen too many lives. This is a positive sign that VA is recovering, but there's still work to do. I’m glad my bipartisan bill to tackle fentanyl was signed by President Biden and will keep working to build on that progress to protect our communities.
Founded 60 years ago today, Head Start has provided education and health care to countless kids in Virginia and across the U.S. for decades. As Trump attempts to cut funding for Head Start, I will continue to fight to protect these crucial programs.
On this day in 1954, the Supreme Court ruled school segregation laws unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. 71 years later, the U.S. has made progress – but we must continue the fight for civil rights and racial equality.
