Today is the Affordable Care Act’s 15th anniversary! I want to build on the ACA's success—it's provided health insurance for nearly 400,000 Virginians in 2025—but the Trump Admin is hellbent on destroying it, leaving millions without coverage. I’m committed to protecting the ACA from these threats.

Access to career and technical training is critical to helping Virginians get good-paying jobs. Today, I talked with local leaders, students, and educators about ways to expand access to these programs, including by passing my JOBS Act—a bill to allow students to use Pell Grants for job training.
Today, I got an update on how federal funding we secured is helping rebuild the Creeper Trail following the devastation of Hurricane Helene. This trail is a crucial part of the local economy and I’m grateful for everyone’s work to rebuild it.
Thanks to the folks at the Christiansburg Institute Museum for showing me around yesterday. The Christiansburg Institute was a private school for African American students. It was great to learn about how they’re sharing this important part of our history.
My statement on President Trump’s order to gut the U.S. Department of Education:
I was honored to speak at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Climate Series in Norfolk last night to discuss the threat of climate change to our economy, safety, and national security. It’s going to take all of us to address this challenge so I will keep working with stakeholders to tackle it head-on.
Yesterday @bobbyscott.house.gov and I ended our day talking with health care providers about disparities in health care. We will keep working to ensure that everyone, regardless of the zip code they live in, can get the care they need.
Next, @bobbyscott.house.gov and I toured Fairwinds Landing in Norfolk to
learn about how it supports Virginia’s offshore wind and shipbuilding industries, which create jobs and grow our economy. We will keep working to support these projects.
@bobbyscott.house.gov and I toured the VA clinic in Chesapeake to hear they'll provide care to veterans. These folks are committed to providing top care but Trump’s federal hiring freeze and mass cuts to the VA threaten their ability to do so. Our veterans deserve the best care—we must fight for it.
I joined the Nat'l Black Farmers Association in Baskerville to discuss crucial needs for farmers, like the necessity of a farm bill, and to learn more about how Trump’s trade wars and illegal funding freeze are devastating the ag industry—a vital part of VA’s economy. We must fight for our farmers.
My guest to this year's joint address was Jason King, a disabled veteran who was fired from the FAA's safety division because of Trump's federal workforce cuts. I'm thrilled that a judge in Maryland ruled in favor of illegally-fired federal workers like Jason—and as a result, Jason got his job back.
3 years ago, my Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, a landmark bill honoring Dr. Breen—an MD from Charlottesville who died by suicide while serving on the COVID frontlines—became law to support the mental health of our healers. Proud to work with her family again to reauthorize it.
Trump and congressional Republicans want to slash Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks. In Virginia, that hurts:
• 62% of nursing home residents
• 31% of kids
• 1 in 3 births
• 319,000 people with disabilities
I will fight tooth and nail to prevent these cuts and stand up for Virginians.
I had a great discussion with veterans in Dumfries about how the Trump Admin is hurting veterans by massively firing VA employees, which will increase wait times at VA centers. I'll always stand up for our veterans.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My great-grandparents emigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1852, and I’m proud to celebrate my Irish heritage today and always. Wishing everyone a joyous celebration today!
Good news: with the help of funding I secured, the VA Port Authority has completed a new offshore wind development hub. This hub will boost our economy and further establish VA as a leader in this industry. I’ll do all I can to keep us at the forefront.

It’s Long COVID Awareness Day. While the worst of the pandemic is over for most, there’s more we must do to educate people about Long COVID and ensure that those in our communities who are struggling get the help they need. That's why I will keep working to pass my bipartisan Long COVID Support Act.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the passage of the House Republicans’ government spending bill:
Trump and Musk’s attempts to shrink, politicize, and relocate the federal workforce is wreaking havoc on civil servants’ lives, threating our safety, and damaging our economy. To the federal employees from VA, please share your story:

Wishing a happy Holi to all celebrating in our Commonwealth and around the world! I hope this festival of colors brings joy to you and your loved ones as we mark the start of spring.
