It’s a good day for the Church and I look forward to continuing my Catholic journey under the leadership of Pope Leo XIV.

I’m proud to introduce legislation with @markwarner.bsky.social to protect thousands of acres of beautiful wilderness in Rockingham, Augusta, Highland, and Bath counties for future generations, which will help support local economies through tourism and outdoor recreation.
Today is V-E Day, commemorating 80 years since the end of WWII in Europe. On this historic anniversary, let’s remember the immense sacrifices made by servicemembers that bravely fought against fascism and antisemitism. We can never let history repeat itself.
Cuts by the Trump-Musk Administration are unleashing chaos, hurting federal workers, and threatening programs Americans depend on. If you’re a federal worker living in Virginia and you’ve been impacted by DOGE, I stand with you. Share your story with me here:

This National Military Appreciation Month, I hope you'll join me in recognizing our servicemembers and the sacrifices they make to defend us. I’ll always work to support them and their families, including by pushing for better housing and health care in the annual defense bill.
Virginians are telling me they want lower prices. They aren't telling me they want to do airstrikes in Mexico or invade a NATO ally.
If Trump orders unauthorized military action in Mexico or Greenland, I will immediately file legislation to force a vote to stop it.
Today, I spoke with The Business Council of Canada and Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly on the importance of the US-Canada relationship and preventing Trump's harmful tariffs from ruining our economies. Canada is our friend and neighbor—we must end Trump's senseless tariffs now.
Happy National Teachers’ Day! Today, let’s celebrate the immense contributions our teachers have in classrooms across Virginia as they inspire the next generation. I’ll keep working to restore grants for teachers, address teacher shortages, and support Virginia’s educators.
May is Older Americans Month. Older adults deserve to be able to age in their homes and communities with dignity, and I’ll keep pushing to protect federal programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security that are under threat from the Trump Administration.
Actions matter more than words. ”Celebrating” Teacher Appreciation Week while gutting the Department of Education tells me all I need to know about the Trump Administration’s priorities.
Happy National Small Business Week! Virginia’s small businesses are the backbone of our economy and have my continued support. I’ll keep working to protect small businesses from the chaos and uncertainty that Trump’s haphazard trade wars are causing.
Keeping communities safe is one of my top priorities. That’s why I wrote to the Department of Justice demanding that they reverse the abrupt cancellation of hundreds of grants that serve crime victims and improve public safety.
On International Firefighters’ Day, we honor firefighters who risk their lives to keep us safe and those who lost their lives serving. I was proud to help reauthorize grants last year to help fire departments obtain protective gear and other resources that help them safely serve.
Countless journalists around the world risk their lives every day to speak truth to power. On World Press Freedom Day and every day, we must protect the freedom of the press. Journalism is not a crime.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on President Trump’s budget request:
Trump has imprisoned U.S. residents in a horrific El Salvadorian torture center without due process—and threatening to do the same to U.S. citizens. @vanhollen.senate.gov, @schumer.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov and I are forcing a vote on our bill to require the Admin to explain its actions.

It turns out that chaos and disarray are bad for business.

This is an anti-baby administration.
Strollers and car seats. All going up in price.
With my wife due in June, we see it firsthand. This is a tax on families.
It’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate the diverse cultures, remarkable achievements, and immense contributions of the AANHPI community in Virginia and across the country.
