In the first six months of Trump’s 2nd term, the DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases—including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, fraud, and drug trafficking. How does that make us more safe?

Today, I had a great conversation with members of the Virginia delegation at the inaugural Virginia Defense Forum. We talked about working together to boost our alliances and military readiness, grow our industrial base, and support servicemembers and military installations.
Today, I visited Foodbank of SE VA and the Eastern Shore to celebrate federal funding I secured for its new facility. I also had a productive discussion with leaders in the region working to address food insecurity. It's clear we still have more to do, especially after the GOP slashed SNAP benefits.
One year ago today, Trump declared he was imposing his illegal “Liberation Day” tariffs. And one year later, things aren’t any cheaper—in fact, experts estimate Trump’s tariffs cost families an average of $1,000 last year.
As Passover begins, I’m wishing everyone gathering for a Seder in Virginia and around the world a meaningful holiday. Chag Pesach Sameach!
Today, I joined local pharmacists and community health partners in Williamsburg to talk about the pressures facing independent community pharmacies and how that’s affecting access to medication for folks in the region. I’ll keep working to support frontline health care providers.
Last night, I was honored to give the annual Heinemann Lecture in Southern History at Hampden-Sydney College and share reflections on Virginia's seal. Since 1776, our seal has been a powerful reminder of the need to remain committed to rejecting tyranny. Sic semper tyrannis!
As Americans struggle with high energy costs, the Trump Administration is delaying at least 30 wind farms —projects that would produce enough energy to power several cities and help lower costs. Ridiculous.

This is a meaningful week for Jews and Christians alike. As we prepare for Passover and Easter, I am wishing for a time of joy, renewal, and reflection for all observing.
Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. To the trans community in Virginia and across the country: you deserve to live free from bigotry, often directed towards you based on cynical politics. I’ve got your back.
Our Constitution is clear—no matter who your parents are or where they are from, if you are born here, you are an American. Citing white supremacists in an effort to overturn birthright citizenship tells you everything you need to know. I hope SCOTUS will reject this bid.
Trump’s war against Iran is hitting the economy hard—and Americans have noticed.

Happy birthday, @wmata.com! A thriving public transit system is the lifeblood of our nation’s capital and entire metro area. I was proud to help extend the Silver Line, connecting customers to six new stations, including Dulles Airport. Here’s to another 50 years!
Virginians want lower prices. But Trump’s chaotic war is driving up all kinds of costs, from gas and airline tickets, to package deliveries.

My statement on Senate Republicans relenting and agreeing to fund the TSA, CISA, Coast Guard, and other entities within the DHS, while negotiations regarding Border Patrol and ICE continue:
Democrats have a solution to fund TSA and other critical DHS agencies—which would fix the chaos at airports. But instead of coming to the table, Trump deployed ICE agents to major airports. This solves nothing.

Americans deserve a government focused on making their lives better—not getting rich or padding the pockets of the well-connected. These trades raise serious questions.

Last night, my Republican colleagues decided—despite the overwhelming evidence that the war against Iran is a terrible idea that’s hurting Americans—to once again bow down to the will of Trump. I’m not letting this go.
Because of Trump’s illegal and unnecessary war with Iran, my fellow Richmonders are paying over a dollar more on average per gallon of gas compared to a month ago.

It’s National Medal of Honor Day, when we recognize the over 3,500 servicemembers who have received the highest military award for valor. I’m glad my bipartisan bill to build a monument in commemoration of their service was signed into law.
