Happy Women’s History Month! This month, we celebrate the countless women who have changed our world for the better through their bravery, intelligence, and tenacity. It is on all of us to continue fighting to create a more equitable world for the generations of women to come.
Excited to celebrate the opening of the new Fredericksburg VA Clinic. The clinic, made possible by a bill I supported, will help more veterans get the care they need. Now we must ensure the clinic is staffed. I’m going to keep pushing the Trump Admin to end its hiring freeze for all VA positions.

It was great to attend the grand opening of the @virginiatech.bsky.social Innovation Campus in Alexandria! I’ve long supported VT’s expansion to Northern Virginia, which will create a pipeline of talent that will propel Virginia into the future, and I look forward to continuing this work. Go Hokies!

As Ramadan begins tonight, I want to wish the Muslim community in Virginia and across the world a blessed and reflective month. May this time bring peace to all observing. Ramadan Mubarak!
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.
The American consumer is getting worried about the economy.
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:
Statement reading: The United States is producing more energy than any country in the world at any point in history. If President Trump wants to find the real emergency, he should look in the mirror. His war on American-made energy is yet another Trump mistake that will weaken our economy, raise prices, and kill new, good-paying jobs. And today’s vote goes to show, once again, that Senate Republicans refuse to do their jobs and put the American people above the wish lists of Trump’s donors and billionaire energy tycoons. To our colleagues: don’t say we didn’t warn you when your constituents’ energy bills go through the roof. To the American people: we’re going to keep fighting for you.
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...
