When I last spoke with Secretary Pete Hegseth, he couldn’t answer basic questions about our military.
Now, he is directing unauthorized and likely illegal military operations against Venezuela without the consent of Congress. (1/3)

I reviewed a call between President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I feel strongly that the public deserves to know what was said on this call.
If Trump had nothing to hide, he’d release the transcript.
Pete Hegseth may have committed a war crime.
The American people deserve full transparency. Congress must see the unredacted video of the strike and hear the radio recordings of the orders given.
70 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus, bravely challenging racist segregation laws.
Her life of activism and service continues to inspire us to stand firm in our pursuit of justice and equality for all.
Secretary Hegseth — you will be held accountable for illegal orders you give.
This demands Congressional investigation, and the unredacted video of the strike and radio recordings of the orders given need to be shared with Congress and the American people immediately.
It’s Small Business Saturday — a great day to shop local and support the entrepreneurs and business owners who are at the heart of Virginia’s Seventh District.
Today, I hope you’ll stop by your favorite local shop or discover a new one in your community.
This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for our veterans and military families, our farmers and first responders, our caregivers, teachers, and public-sector workers.
Your service to our communities is representative of the best of us.
Happy Thanksgiving, Virginia!
As we mark this season of gratitude, I want to thank the people of Virginia's Seventh District for the trust you place in me.
I hope this week brings you rest, good food, and time with loved ones.
I’m monitoring this developing situation and keeping the National Guardsmen involved in my thoughts.
Violence has no place in our communities, and I’m thankful for the rapid response from law enforcement.
I've heard firsthand from rural manufacturers across Virginia that Trump's tariffs are keeping them from producing the products their customers depend on.
I sent a letter to Secretary Bessent urging him to reconsider the current tariffs that are hurting so many American producers and consumers.
While serving on Trump’s White House NSC, I reviewed the president’s call with the Saudi Crown Prince following the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
I joined FOX5 to continue pressing for the release of the transcript of this call.
The American people and the Khashoggi family deserve the truth.
Thanksgiving is this week — and prices are skyrocketing.
🦃 Turkeys are up 40%
🍠 Yams are up nearly 200%
🌽 Canned veggies are up 5%
Trump is focused on cutting taxes for his billionaire friends instead of helping hardworking families afford a holiday meal.

Trump knows exactly what was said on that 2019 call with the Saudi Crown Prince — and so do I.
The American people should see the transcript for themselves.
Great to join the turkey giveaway with Delegates Luke Torian, Candi Mundon King, & Briana Sewell. Thank you to the students from Gar-Field HS for volunteering!
This is not the first time the president has come after me. His intimidation campaign didn’t stop me then, and it certainly won’t stop me now.
So, Mr. President, my response to you is this: release the transcript.
Unsurprisingly, the president is refusing to release the transcript. Instead, he is weaponizing his government against me in an attempt to silence me and distract from his corruption.
I feel strongly that the American people and the Khashoggi family deserve to hear the content of that call.
And if history is any indication, I don’t cry wolf.
After Trump’s disturbing defense of MBS in the Oval Office this week, I demanded the transcript of that call be released alongside the widow of Jamal Khashoggi.
While serving on Trump’s White House NSC, I reviewed a problematic call between the president and the Saudi Crown Prince following the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
ICYMI: Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth just launched a sham investigation into me for telling the truth about Trump’s 2019 call with the Saudi Crown Prince.
It’s been a busy news week, so let me get you up to speed 👇
