Henry Marsh was a civil rights lawyer, Richmond’s first African American mayor, and my mentor. He dedicated himself to fighting against discrimination in court and for investments in overlooked communities. He passed away earlier this year. I am grateful for his service, wisdom, and friendship.
When Maggie L. Walker saw white banks undervalue African American patrons, hindering their ability to invest, achieve home ownership, and build wealth, she did what no U.S. woman had done before: she founded her own bank. Her prowess for banking helped hundreds and forged paths for generations.
Yesterday, @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repvindman.bsky.social, and I hosted Virginians to honor Black History Month. As some try to erase Black history, it’s more important than ever to celebrate Black Americans’ many contributions throughout history.
Trump’s illegal layoffs of federal workers is disproportionately impacting veterans, who make up 30% of the federal workforce. Today, @blumenthal.senate.gov and I wrote to him to demand that these veterans be immediately reinstated with full back pay and benefits.
Trump is illegally attempting to eliminate the Inter-American Foundation, ending important work in our hemisphere to bolster security and prosperity. As the top Democrat on the Senate Western Hemisphere subcommittee, I’m demanding Trump reverse course.
Mary W. Jackson, a Hampton native, became the first African American woman engineer at NASA in 1958. There, she supported space missions, including the first moon landing. Her barrier-breaking career was chronicled in the book and film “Hidden Figures,” and in 2021, the NASA HQ was named after her.
Confidence in the economy hasn’t dropped this sharply in years. That’s probably because Trump hasn’t lifted a finger to help the economy in his 29 days as president. In fact, he’s pushing policies, like tariffs and halting investments in clean energy manufacturing, that will actively raise prices.
Trump is the energy emergency—and he’s killing jobs and raising costs. My joint statement with @senatorheinrich.bsky.social regarding Republicans’ rubber-stamping of Trump’s war on affordable, American-made energy:
My statement ahead of today’s Senate vote to confirm Jamieson Greer as United States Trade Representative:
Trump’s chaos continues: following mass firings at CFPB—a consumer protection watchdog that’s returned over $21 billion to Americans in the last 15 years—thousands of reports of fraud and scams are going unanswered. This isn’t efficiency. Americans are at risk. www.youtube.com/live/s8iNPld...
My statement on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:
Update: we are about to vote on an amendment that would help prevent increases in your energy bill. That’s money back in folks’ pocketbooks. Let’s see where GOP priorities are.
Right now in the Capitol: The Senate is about to vote on an amendment to the GOP budget bill focused on bringing down the cost of groceries. Let’s see if Republicans are as interested in cutting your grocery bills as they are in giving billionaires tax cuts.
Trump bragged about overturning Roe, which created threats to women's access to reproductive care, including IVF.
Americans were outraged, especially after Rs blocked a Dem bill to protect IVF access.
Now Trump is trying to save face with a meaningless order that won't actually safeguard IVF.
The White House's claim: Trump's executive order on IVF is a "promises made, promises kept" moment.
Reality: The executive order doesn't actually do much of anything, and doesn't even try to keep the promises Trump made before the election. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
My statement ahead of the Senate’s vote on Kash Patel’s nomination to be FBI Director:
Dr. Booker T. Washington rose from an enslaved childhood in Virginia to become a founder of the National Negro Business League and Tuskegee University, shaping generations through his unwavering support for African American entrepreneurship and education.
"DOGE" cut a program in Spotsylvania to help high schoolers with disabilities go to college or work—and they're not stopping here. They're going after other education programs, harming students and our economy. I won’t stand for it. www.fxbgadvance.com/p/the-executive-order-project-education-960
