Happy #InternationalWomensDay! All women deserve to live with dignity and the opportunity to achieve their dreams. Today we celebrate the women who’ve fought to remove barriers to those dreams. #WomensHistoryMonth
Graphic. Background is collage of portraits of Shirley Chisholm, Nancy Pelosi, Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jeannette Rankin, Sojourner Truth and Eleanor Roosevelt. Text reads, “HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present.
During this short but busy week, Congressional Republicans refused to check the Trump Administration’s overreach in Iran, put guardrails on an out-of-control DHS or meaningfully address online safety for our kids. Keep watching for more highlights.
Thrilled to announce that I secured over $10 MILLION in funding for community projects across Virginia’s Fourth! These projects will make our water safer, invest in research at VSU and VCU, improve stormwater management and upgrade our roads.
Graphic with of VA-04 and pins labeled for all 14 community projects funded by Rep. McClellan. Text reads, “CONGRESSWOMAN MCCLELLAN SECURES $10,149,000 FOR VIRGINIA’S FOURTH.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present.
The Pentagon identified the two additional servicemembers killed in a drone strike at a Kuwait command center in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East: Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54 Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45 I extend my condolences and prayers to their families and loved ones.

I will not legitimize this military campaign with additional DHS funding while they terrorize Americans at home and shirk their responsibility to seek authorization for military action abroad. With six servicemembers killed and more put in harm’s way, we should not play games with people’s lives.
Congressional Republicans used Trump’s latest military strikes and attempted war of choice to ram through funding for DHS without the necessary guardrails Democrats have demanded since the start of negotiations. ICE and Border Patrol already received nearly $200 billion through the Big Ugly Law.
I welcome today’s firing of Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary, but the Trump Administration’s mass deportation agenda going forward seems is more of the same. A leadership change in name only does not go far enough to address this crisis and prevent pain and suffering from continuing.
DHS must be held to the same standards as any other law enforcement agency: bodycams and IDs, no masks, reporting systems and more. Until real accountability measures are put in place, I cannot in good conscience vote to fund an out-of-control department that undermines rights with impunity.
Masked agents carry offensive weapons as they break into homes, abduct, detain and kill people. Today, news broke of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez shot and killed by a DHS agent months ago, adding to the known death toll under this Administration and its paramilitary force in our streets.
Over the past year, the Trump Administration’s ICE, Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security’s operations have put the American people at greater risk and caused a public safety crisis with little to no oversight. Today, I voted against providing funding for DHS. Here’s why 🧵
I joined Rep. Miller-Meeks to introduce the Rural & Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act to reauthorize and strengthen a vital program designed to defend rural and small municipal utilities against cyberattacks. The Energy & Commerce Committee unanimously advanced this bill to the floor today.
In a time of executive overreach, Congress must prevent the Trump Administration from asserting unilateral authority over our nation and the well-being of our servicemembers. Republican leadership, however, seems more concerned with bending the knee than taking a stand for our Constitution.
Absent any evidence of an imminent threat to the United States, our territories or troops, President Trump should have continued diplomatic efforts or sought authorization for military action from Congress. Waging a war of choice only sheds American blood with no clear long-term strategy.
Iran must not be permitted to develop nuclear weapon capabilities, but the Administration claimed its 2025 unauthorized air strikes ‘completely and totally obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities, and a Pentagon assessment found that Iran’s nuclear program was likely set back two years.
We cannot allow the Administration to continue down this path without consultation and authorization by Congress. The separation of powers exists for a reason, and only Congress has the power to declare war.
