My prayers are with our servicemembers and diplomatic staff serving in the Middle East.
I call on the Administration to immediately hold a Congressional briefing to provide a clear justification for the strikes, de-escalate the situation and return to the negotiating table to reach an agreement that will ensure peace and keep our servicemembers safe.
The next few days will be pivotal in determining the stability and future of the region and its people.
We can support the democracy movement in Iran without sending our troops into a volatile environment with little to no information about the plan going forward.
However, the Trump Administration’s erratic military actions could have profound consequences for our national security and the international community.
This escalation of force could further destabilize the Middle East, pull the U.S. into another conflict in the region and threaten American lives.
Under no circumstances should Iran have nuclear weapon capabilities. This regime has inflamed and extended conflicts throughout the region through its state-sponsored terrorism and proxies and brutally suppressed the Iranian people.
Without evidence of an imminent threat, the Trump Administration should refrain from major military action.
These latest strikes in Iran without Congressional approval risk throwing the region into chaos and put our servicemembers in harm’s way without a clear long-term strategy. 🧵
This week, the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s tariffs and he gave the State of the Union Address to Congress.
Keep watching for more highlights.
I am honored to carry on the legacy and diligent work of these three incredible Members and join their ranks as the first Black woman to represent our Commonwealth in Congress.
My predecessor A. Donald McEachin served Virginia’s Fourth District from 2017 to his untimely passing in 2022. A lawyer and decades-long public servant, McEachin was a tireless advocate for environmental justice and protecting the health of communities in Virginia and across the country.
Elected in 1992 to represent Virginia’s Third District, @bobbyscott.house.gov continues serving as the Dean of the Virginia Delegation and Ranking Member of the House Education & Workforce Committee. Scott is also the first person of Filipino descent to serve as a voting member of Congress.
John Mercer Langston became the first Black Congressman to represent Virginia, serving Virginia’s Fourth District from 1890-1891. An accomplished lawyer, diplomat and activist, he served as founding dean of Howard University’s law school and the first president of Virginia State University.
I am humbled to be one of only four Black members of Congress to serve our Commonwealth in Congress. 🧵 #BHM2026

Had a great morning yesterday celebrating Black History Month with @bobbyscott.house.gov and @mcclellan.house.gov at our Commonwealth Coffee! Thank you to everyone who came out, especially the Hampton University Choir for the beautiful music!
We must strengthen our ability to combat wildfires caused by our climate crisis through manned and unmanned aerial technology. That’s why I co-led the ACERO Act to reauthorize and strengthen NASA’s program to fight wildfires. This week, the House unanimously passed this bipartisan bill!
The Trump Administration declaring a state of emergency to take over federal elections would be a 5 alarm fire for democracy.
Trump swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, not rip it to shreds. This is an attempt to thwart the will of the people by suppressing their vote.
This Black History Month, I was thrilled to sit down with my Soror, @cbc.house.gov Chair and historymaker @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social!
We discussed the importance of community and how to maintain hope in this moment.

As the “Harlem of the South,” Richmond’s Jackson Ward neighborhood served as a center for Black business, advocacy, arts and culture, until parts of it were destroyed by “redevelopment” in the mid-20th century.
Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, Jackson Ward thrives today. #BHM2026
Happy birthday to my friend and mentor, @kaine.senate.gov!
Today, the Virginia delegation led a moment of silence in memory of Delegate Barry Knight, whom I served with in the Virginia House of Delegates.
A dedicated, humble and kind public servant, Barry will be greatly missed.
