It is week four of the Republican shutdown — and thousands of federal workers and contractors still haven’t seen a paycheck.
I joined @beyer.house.gov in calling on utility companies to suspend shutoffs and late fees so families can keep the lights on.
This week, I joined Supervisor Vic Angry at Neabsco Baptist Church’s food pantry to help pack boxes of food for families across our community.
As the government shutdown continues, operations like this are more vital than ever in supporting neighbors who are facing uncertainty.
824,000 Virginians are about to lose access to SNAP — even though the Trump admin has the funds necessary to cover the program.
I led my colleagues in the Virginia delegation on a letter urging Attorney General Jason Miyares to join other State Attorneys General in suing the admin to fund SNAP.
In Ukraine, I saw firsthand the extraordinary resolve of the Ukrainian people.
The United States must stand with them by confronting Russian aggression — for their freedom, for our national security, and for the good of the global order.
Republicans control the White House.
They control of the House.
They control of the Senate.
The government has now been shut down for 30 days under their control. Why won't they work across the aisle to reopen the government?
The Trump Administration has both the funds and the legal authority to fund SNAP. But instead, it’s choosing to let children, seniors, and veterans go without food during a government shutdown.
That is an unconscionable choice. Attorney General Miyares must act.
SNAP funding expires this week, leaving 824,000 Virginians at risk of going hungry.
🚨I led @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, & @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social in urging Attorney General Jason Miyares to join a multi-state suit to fund this program.
As Northern Virginia’s largest care provider for patients with HIV/AIDS, Inova’s Juniper Program plays a vital role in ensuring accessible, compassionate care for our community.
I was glad to visit their facility in Prince William County last week to see this work in action.
Rising costs could impact more than 17 million Americans who purchase health insurance through the ACA marketplace.
I’m committed to protecting access to quality health care and remain ready to pass a budget to keep these costs from going up.
President Trump has crossed the line… again.
The Trump administration’s actions in relation to Venezuela are not only provocative and unauthorized by Congress, but they are fundamentally illegal.
They create a dangerous new precedent for unilateral executive power. (8/8)
When a senior officer sworn to defend the Constitution sacrifices his career rather than continue the mission, it is an undeniable sign of a chain of command in crisis. (7/8)
Let there be no confusion: this is about the President pushing the limits of his power, not stopping drugs. If it were, we wouldn’t have an Admiral quitting the job.
Admiral Holsey appears to have chosen conscience over complicity. (6/8)
That’s not how this works. The President cannot unilaterally decide to go to war, and military officers know this.
The American people also don’t want a war with only 18% of Americans supporting the use of military force to overthrow Maduro. (5/8)
Since September 2, President Trump has ordered at least six known strikes on Venezuelan boats allegedly smuggling drugs.
He claims the authority to unilaterally label individuals “unlawful combatants” and strike without congressional authorization. (4/8)
As an Army vet and military lawyer, I spent my military career upholding the Constitution and advising commanders like Admiral Holsey on the use of force.
Here’s why I think he was right to raise concerns and the President’s actions are illegal. (3/8)
The abrupt departure of Admiral Holsey after less than a year into a three-year job suggests something is SERIOUSLY rotten in Trump’s Venezuela policy — not to mention the NY Times reported that the Admiral raised concerns about “the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats.” (2/8)
No one wants to stop drugs from entering our country more than I do. But launching unauthorized military strikes isn’t how you do it.
You can’t go to war with Venezuela without authorization from Congress.
As an Army JAG, here’s why the President's actions are dangerous. (1/8)
We’re just six days away from Election Day in Virginia!
Visit elections.virginia.gov to find your polling place. Polls are open from 6 am – 7 pm.
I hope that you’ll make your voice heard.
Thinking of those in Jamaica and the Caribbean as Hurricane Melissa makes landfall.
Wishing safety and strength to everyone in the storm's path. Virginia is home to tens of thousands of Jamaican Americans, and my office is here to assist constituents impacted.
