My office is aware of reports of a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. We are in touch with local law enforcement, and will continue to monitor the situation and offer any assistance we can provide to our first responders.

This morning I hosted a discussion with local leaders from Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, and Falls Church to coordinate efforts to help our communities and strategize about solving problems ahead.

CFPB has helped put billions of dollars back in the pockets of Americans harmed by predatory corporate practices. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies want to get rid of it so they can keep cheating working Americans. www.cbsnews.com/news/cfpb-cr...

More than 4 million people to share $1.8 billion in refunds, the CFPB says. Here's what to know.

It has been 12 years since the lives of 20 children and six educators were taken by a gunman armed with an AR-15 rifle at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, CT. Their legacies live on in the enduring movement that has been built over the last 12 years to end our nation’s gun violence crisis.

A month after the election Trump admits his promises on voters' top issue were lies. He will not lower costs, in fact his plans will lead to Americans paying higher prices.

Direct File is a clear success story of making government better. The IRS made a free, easy-to-use way to file taxes directly. People who used it loved it. But wealthy corporate donors are losing money, so Republicans are trying to kill the program and make filing taxes harder.

new republican day one priority: making it harder and more expensive to file your taxes

NEW: Reps. Adrian Smith and Chuck Edwards wrote Trump a letter today urging him to terminate the IRS’s new free tax filing service, otherwise known as Direct File, on “day one” through an executive order.

It’s co-signed by 27 House Republicans.

Whether Trump "guarantees" it or not, the truth is that the tariffs he is threatening WILL raise prices for the American people. That's just a fact.

Take a wild guess about how many Republican women will be in leadership positions next Congress.

"No Republican women lawmakers will serve as elected committee leaders next year" in the House, per Punchbowl. Ann Wagner was passed over last night for a House Foreign Affairs gavel after Brian Mast's "impassioned pitch" overshadowed Wagner's focus on why she was "qualified for the job." 🧐

Relatedly, guess whose taxes Trump and the Republicans are about to cut?

Trump plans to continue transacting foreign business deals with an even worse ethics plan than his first term. He's tapping wealthy investors and billionaires to make decisions on regulations and contracts they may profit from—without divestment. A clear recipe for corruption.

With over three years remaining in IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel’s term, Donald Trump's announcement nominating former Rep. Billy Long to lead the IRS is a terrible mistake. My statement:

RFK Jr.'s running HHS means more kids could die from preventable diseases, stymying progress towards life-saving cures, and rolling back progress we’ve made to lower costs and provide better care. I joined Protect Our Care VA to emphasize the threat he poses to American health care.
