Federal workers keep our government running, and we must recruit and retain people with the best experience and expertise. That's why I'm introducing a bill with @markwarner.bsky.social and @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social to ensure fair and competitive pay for the federal workforce.
I’m proud that 20 years after the first call to 211 Virginia, it has fielded millions of calls and connected people with crucial resources from shelter, disaster assistance, addiction and health care resources, legal representation, and more. richmond.com/opinion/colu...
This is big. Speaker Johnson’s procedural loophole to avoid a vote on Trump’s wildly unpopular, cost-raising tariffs failed. I’m glad my bipartisan resolutions in the Senate to undo Trump’s tariffs have passed, and now it’s time for the House to vote to do the same.
Los estadounidenses quieren un líder en la economía. Pero en lugar de reducir costos, Trump quiere iniciar peleas con Trevor Noah por hacer bromas en los Grammys, centrarse en los campos de golf de D.C. y añadir su nombre a todo lo que puede. Merecemos algo mejor.
My bipartisan resolutions to repeal Trump's deeply unpopular tariffs have passed the Senate. But the House has been using procedural tricks to hide from similar votes. Today, House members will go on the record about whether this trickery should end.
Bad news: Trump’s new taxes cost the average American household $1,000 last year. That’s a huge burden for working families, and why I’ve continuously—and successfully—challenged Trump’s tariffs in the Senate. It’s time for the House to do the same. taxfoundation.org/research/all...
I’m excited federal funding I secured is coming to Virginia to expand access to primary and mental health care, modernize public health infrastructure, and protect rural health services. I’ll keep working to ensure Virginians, regardless of zip code, can get the care they need.
I love hiking the AT, and I'm thrilled to have secured funding to make critical safety improvements for those accessing McAfee Knob in Roanoke County. I visited a couple years ago to learn about the upgrades, and I can't wait to get back to celebrate the funding we secured!
I’m excited to cheer on Team USA, including Virginians Mystique Ro, Brandon Kim, Ilia Malinin, and Evan Nichols, at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Make us proud!
Me preocupa profundamente el trato atroz que ICE da a las personas—especialmente a los niños—y la deshumanización de los inmigrantes por parte del Presidente Trump. Esto tiene que terminar.
Too many Virginians face food insecurity, and the recent SNAP cuts will exacerbate this issue and put more pressure on food banks. I'm proud to have secured federal funding for Feed More and Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore to expand capacity and serve more Virginians.
Veterans deserve world-class cancer care. But arbitrary caps on the pay therapeutic and diagnostic medical physicists receive are making clinical staffing shortages at VA clinics worse—delaying patients’ access to crucial treatment. My bipartisan bill would help fix that:
Trump is doubling down on his threat to usurp the Constitution and state laws and “nationalize” elections. Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that he wants to rig future elections.
