Happy Earth Day! Getting outside is one of my favorite things to do, which is why I’m proud to have helped pass legislation like the Great American Outdoors Act to help preserve the beauty of our natural wonders for generations to come. Enjoy the great outdoors today!

Grateful for my visits alongside the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw with Polish leaders and U.S. servicemembers at sites that have been instrumental in supporting Ukraine's humanitarian and security needs. We all have a vested interest in standing up against Putin's brutal invasion.
From my family to yours, Happy Easter! I hope that everyone celebrating in the Commonwealth and across the world has a joyous celebration and gets to spend time with loved ones today.
Happy National Park Week! I encourage everyone to celebrate by visiting one of Virginia’s 22 National Park sites—they’re all free today. I’ll continue to do all I can to protect the National Park Service from DOGE cuts and preserve Virginia’s natural wonders for future generations.
82 years ago today, Jews living in the Nazi-created Warsaw Ghetto undertook an armed uprising against Hitler's occupying forces in what would become the largest single revolt by Jews during World War II. This week, I visited the POLIN Museum in Warsaw to honor their bravery.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social and @connolly.house.gov on the Trump Administration's revival of Schedule F:
Medicaid matters to all who count on it. In VA, that includes:
• 62% of nursing home residents
• 31% of kids
• 1 in 3 births
• 319,000 people with disabilities
I’m committed to fighting against the Republican plan to strip Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks.
Middle-class families can’t afford Trump’s new national sales tax. I’ll keep doing all I can to reassert Congress’ authority in matters of trade and fight to keep your everyday costs from going up.
My statement on the 18th anniversary of the Virginia Tech shooting:
Our colleges, students, and economy benefit when students from around the world come to Virginia schools. So why is the Trump Administration revoking their visas without explanation? @markwarner.bsky.social and I demand answers about this flagrant violation of free speech and due process.
Trump and Musk have already fired 7,000 Social Security workers—contributing to unanswered phone calls and long wait times across the country. Being able to make appointments and get questions answered is critical to Virginians' ability to accessing the benefits they've earned.
I am outraged that—in the aftermath of last January’s water crisis—the Trump Administration has canceled $12 million in federal funding for improvements to Richmond’s water treatment plant. This is unacceptable.
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv and I met with wounded Ukrainian veterans and the dedicated medical staff who are working around the clock to treat them. I am deeply moved by their courage and the sacrifices they've made to protect their country. I will be praying for their ongoing recoveries.
Happy Vaisakhi to all celebrating in Virginia and across the world – may this celebration bring peace and new beginnings!
I laid flowers at the Bucha Memorial today to honor the civilians and prisoners of war killed by Russian forces during their occupation of this town in early 2022. After Russia withdrew, mass graves were discovered—showing evidence of executions, torture, and sexual violence.
I’m in Ukraine today in the wake of Russia’s horrific Palm Sunday attack in Sumy that killed dozens of innocent civilians, including children, to show my support for our partnership against Putin’s illegal invasion.
I’m relieved Governor Shapiro and his family are safe after this frightening arson attack on the first night of Passover and am thankful for the swift action of first responders.
It’s our responsibility to make sure our veterans get the care they need.
I’ve been sounding the alarm about how Trump and Elon’s hiring freeze at the VA and plans to cut tens of thousands of VA jobs—many of which are held by veterans—are a huge mistake.

As Passover begins this evening, I want to wish everyone gathering around Seder tables in Virginia and around the world a joyful holiday. Chag Pesach Sameach!
Happy National Submarine Day! Virginia plays a critical role in building submarines for our nation’s Navy. I’m grateful to the shipbuilders and men and women who serve on these submarines. You make Virginia proud every day!
