Republicans refuse to pass measures to rein in ICE and Border Patrol agents. Nor will they pass standalone funding for TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard. Today, I visited TSA workers at Richmond International Airport to hear how this latest shutdown impacts them.

I’m proud to earn a 100% score on the @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard and a 100% lifetime score. As Congressional Republicans roll back clean energy progress and environmental protections, I keep fighting for our children, our economy and our communities to build a cleaner, healthier future.

In 1990, Congress established March 10th as #HarrietTubmanDay to honor the brave Underground Railroad conductor who died on this date in 1913. Born enslaved in 1822, Harriet escaped in 1849 and dedicated her life towards “a more perfect union,” in which the promises of America extended to everyone.
