🎥 When asked if he had a responsibility to uphold the U.S. Constitution, Trump said, “I don’t know.” Trump swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. All of it. The 5th Amendment says NO PERSON shall be denied life, liberty or property without due process of law.
The maternal mortality crisis is real and getting worse.  But the Trump Administration fired the team that collects/analyzes maternal death data that serves as an invaluable asset for researchers.  As an @energycommerce.bsky.social member, I tried to reverse these cuts. Republicans voted no.
The Trump Administration claims its “mass deportation” focuses on undocumented immigrants who commit crimes. This is not true. Trump deported U.S. citizens with no hearing — including children under the age of 10. He ignored multiple court orders in the process. This is unAmerican and dangerous.
This year’s theme for #WorldPressFreedomDay focuses on the challenges of preserving freedoms of the press and expression in the midst of the explosive growth of AI. As an @energycommerce.bsky.social member, I’m focused on harnessing the power of AI as a tool to enhance our First Amendment freedoms.
The House was back in session this week as we marked 100 days of the Trump Administration, the Congressional Black Caucus closed out National Minority Health Month, Energy & Commerce considered several health care bills, one of my bills advanced out of committee, and more.
Today is National Space Day — a good time to announce that the House Science, Space and Technology Committee unanimously advanced my Celestial Time Standardization Act to further support U.S. leadership in space exploration!

Interns are the lifeblood of any congressional office — and we couldn’t have kept our office running smoothly without our invaluable Spring 2025 class of interns! Thank you for all that you’ve done to serve Virginia’s Fourth! We can’t wait to see what you do next.

Our nation is at a crossroads — and it’s up to us to determine whether our 250th anniversary will be a celebration… or a wake. I spoke with @rvamag.bsky.social about where our nation stands, where we go from here, and how the current moment stress-tests the ideals upon which America was founded.
Graphic. Background is photo of Rep. McClellan speaking at a podium. Text reads, “What gives me hope — even though I’m fighting the same fights that my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents fought — is that I’m doing it from a position of more strength and power than they ever dreamed of.

“I think that’s true of every American right now. Compared to where we were in the 1880s, and even in the 1960s, people understand their power. But sometimes we have to remind them.”

Logos of RVA Mag and Rep. McClellan are present at the bottom center of the page.
VPM connects nearly 2 million people across Central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley to coverage of government meetings, PBS/NPR shows, educational programming, emergency alerts and more. With the loss of federal funding, these stations will have to slash programming — if they can even survive.
Trump’s latest unconstitutional attack on free speech/press will hit local PBS/NPR stations like @vpm.org hard. What does that mean for you?
In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.
Are you REAL ID ready? Starting May 7th, you must have a REAL ID or another accepted form of identification, like a passport, to fly domestically or enter certain federal buildings or military bases.
Graphic. Photo of sample Virginia driver’s license and REAL ID. Text reads, “VIRGINIANS: DO YOU HAVE A REAL ID? LOOK FOR THE STAR AT THE TOP OF YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE. TO BE TRAVEL READY, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A REAL ID BY MAY 7. ISSUES? CALL MY OFFICE: (804) 486-1840.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present at the bottom left corner of the page.
Former National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins said his position became “untenable” under the second Trump Administration after funding cuts and employee purges. The Administration has created a culture of fear that hurts our ability to lead in public health, research and innovation.
