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!
Today, I met with health care providers and people affected by federal cuts to Medicaid and the expiration of the ACA subsidies. Stories like these are important as we keep pushing Republicans to fix the mess they've created and ensure Americans have access to affordable care.
Families of the Guardsmen shot in DC: you are owed vigorous prosecution of the criminal.
And if it's determined this mission was unlawful, responsible officials owe you an apology.

Trump admitted that his tariffs are hurting American farmers. But instead of undoing his cost-raising taxes, he wants to spend $12 billion in taxpayer money to put a band-aid on the problem. That's not a real solution. Trump's tariffs need to go.

My statement ahead of a vote on a three-year extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year, after Republicans failed to extend them as part of the budget bill they passed this summer to cut taxes for billionaires:
Yesterday, weeks after the CEO of Nvidia made a large contribution to the construction of Trump’s new White House ballroom, Trump announced he will allow Nvidia to sell H200 chips to China. I asked experts if this is a mistake that poses a grave threat to our national security. youtu.be/WlWX-jpuih8
It’s Human Rights Day. The Trump Administration has ordered extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and Pacific, sent people to torture centers in El Salvador, and cut billions in humanitarian aid. Defending universal human rights is more important than ever.
Today, @merkley.senate.gov and I tried to pass our bill to block funds for military action in Venezuela. Republicans blocked it.

We lost my sister-in-law, Tayloe, to Alzheimer’s this year. I know how painful this battle is and my prayers are with Andy and his family.
I'm grateful that my bipartisan bill to support those with Alzheimer’s was extended last year and will keep working to build on it.
Trump giving his economy an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” will be news to the thousands of Virginians I’ve spoken to over the past few months struggling with high costs.
Good news: my bipartisan legislation repealing the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for war against Iraq is in this year’s defense bill. When the President signs this bill into law, finally closing the book on this forever war, it will be a historic victory for the American people.
A lot of folks are already stretched thin during the holiday season, but Trump’s economic chaos is about to make things worse. Just about everything, from toys to food, is more expensive than last year. I'm going to keep challenging Trump's tariffs and work to bring down costs.
Today, we recognize the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We owe a great debt to the men and women who bravely served during WWII to win the war. We will always honor their memory and sacrifice, including by working to protect the world they fought to create.
Miners take incredible risks to power our communities. That’s why I’m cosponsoring bipartisan legislation to designate today as National Miners Day, honoring their service, sacrifice, and contributions across VA and the country. I will keep advocating for miners and their families.
Over a million layoffs this year—54% higher than last year and the most since Covid hit in 2020. Trump = Higher prices, fewer jobs, slower growth. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/04/l...
Trump claims he’s against narcotrafficking. Then why did he pardon a drug kingpin who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for bringing over 400 tons of cocaine into America? With Trump, the rules are often different for rich guys. We need to get to the bottom of this. youtube.com/shorts/XIrGm...
It's International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As we work to advance the rights of people with disabilities, Trump is trying to gut their educational protections and limit their access to health care. We can't let that happen. I'll keep fighting for equal opportunities.
I may not have Spotify, but as a music lover, I wanted in on the fun. Here are a few songs that helped me get through traffic jams on I-95 (thankfully not for any 27-hour stretches this year), late nights, and early mornings. What were your favorite songs this year?

Empowering Americans with digital skills is crucial in helping them succeed in the workforce. That's why I'm introducing a bill to expand access to digital training programs to help people develop these in-demand skills—benefiting our workers, employers, and economy.
Today, Trump announced his intention to launch strikes on Venezuela, escalating chances of a new forever war and needlessly risking the lives of our servicemembers. I'm doing everything in my power to stop him. Here's how: youtube.com/shorts/goORJ...
