I’ve heard from Korean Americans in Virginia about how their families were separated after the Korean War. That's why I'm glad that my bipartisan bill to help facilitate their reunification passed and will soon be signed into law.

Great news: after years of hard work, Congress passed legislation today to end the authorization for the U.S. to wage war against Iraq. Senator Todd Young and I are thankful to all the veterans whose tireless advocacy made this historic day possible.

Heating your house is about to get a lot more expensive. Families are already struggling to make ends meet—they shouldn't have to worry about staying warm as temperatures plummet. I’ll keep fighting Trump's corrupt energy agenda, a key culprit behind rising energy costs.
My statement applauding the Senate passage of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act, which includes key provisions I secured to advance national security, support servicemembers and their families, boost VA’s defense industry, and strengthen relations with our allies:
My statement on the Coast Guard enacting a new policy calling swastikas and nooses ‘potentially divisive’—a significant downgrade from their previous classification as hate symbols—in the Guard’s workplace harassment guidance:
Nearly one million more Americans are unemployed today than when the year started. The Trump economy: fewer jobs, higher prices, slower growth. Americans deserve better.
@warnock.senate.gov and I are calling out the Trump Administration for making changes to disability accommodation policies that harm federal workers. These changes violate the law barring discrimination against those with disabilities and harm employee retention and productivity.
Miners have risked their lives to power our nation for generations. I’m proud to reintroduce legislation to reduce barriers for brave miners and retirees with black lung disease, so they can receive the coverage, benefits, compensation, and legal representation they deserve.
Today marks 252 years since the Boston Tea Party, when patriots dumped hundreds of tea chests into the ocean to protest Britain's unfair tariff policies. Now Americans are once again facing unfair tariffs that are driving up prices. I'll keep challenging Trump's tariffs. youtube.com/shorts/qzO2N...
Trump’s White House Chief of Staff admitted Trump is bombing boats in the Caribbean because he wants regime change in Venezuela. How is that America First? And I thought he said this was all about drug trafficking? Enough with this chaos.
Something to celebrate: my bill ending the forever wars against Iraq made it into this year’s defense bill. When the President signs this into law, it will be a great day for our servicemembers and our country.

At 4:30 am on a night in December 2020, I recorded the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue from the U.S. Capitol. Today, he'll be replaced by Barbara Rose Johns, who led a protest of conditions in her all-Black school in Farmville that eventually helped end segregation in America.
In March, I sounded the alarm about low staffing levels at the new Veterans Affairs clinic in Chesapeake. Sec. Collins called me a liar, but now the VA plans to cut 35,000 health care positions—forcing veterans to wait longer to see fewer doctors. Our veterans deserve better.
Following the unjustified slaughter of shipwrecked survivors and Trump’s threats of a new war against Venezuela, I’ve filed another War Powers Resolution. To my GOP colleagues: listen to your constituents—the American people don’t want another war.

Happy birthday to my friend @markwarner.bsky.social, who’s been stuck with me since law school! I’m proud to have worked for Virginia alongside you for all these years.
My statement on the tragic passing of Virginian Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov:
To all those lighting the first candle of Hanukkah tonight, I hope you’re able to find some comfort in celebrating the miracle of light which provided hope in a dark time.
The attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Australia is horrific. There is no place for antisemitism, and we must stand together to eradicate this evil. My heart is with Australia and the Jewish community around the world.
Happy 389th birthday to the U.S. National Guard. Today and every day, we thank our Guardsmen for all they do, especially during this holiday season when servicemembers across the country are being called away from their families.
The Army-Navy Game is one of the greatest rivalries and traditions in college sports. It’s going to be a great game. Hope
you’re tuning in!
