The holidays should be a time for reconnecting with family—not financial anxiety because Trump hasn’t brought prices down like he promised. I’ll keep working to challenge Trump’s tariffs and economic chaos. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/28/b...
70 years ago, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a crowded bus. Her courage and leadership are powerful reminders to reflect on the progress we’ve made and recommit ourselves to advancing equality and justice for all.

50 years ago today, bipartisan legislation guaranteeing opportunities and protections for students with disabilities was signed into law. Now, Trump is trying to illegally shut down the Department of Education, which enforces that law. We can’t let that happen.
It’s Small Business Saturday! Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but Trump’s trade wars are forcing many small business owners to make tough decisions about how they’ll continue to operate. I'll keep working to protect them from Trump's economic chaos.
Trump is trying to pull wool over the American people’s eyes, but they aren’t fooled, and I’m not either. Trump’s reckless handling of the economy is causing prices to spiral out of control. I’m doing all I can to fix it.
My statement following a federal judge ruling that President Trump unlawfully appointed Lindsey Halligan as the interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia:
"President Trump forced a qualified U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia to resign so he could appoint an unqualified replacement with no prosecutorial experience who isn’t even licensed to practice law in Virginia. Why? In order to compel the initiation of criminal cases against his perceived political enemies. Today his blatant persecution effort blew up in his face."
President Trump claims he's solved the conflict between the DRC and Rwanda, but the fighting has not ceased. That's why I wrote to Secretary Rubio, pushing for stronger U.S. diplomacy to address the violence and ensure long-term regional stability.

Happy anniversary to my wife, Anne! We’re celebrating 41 years today. I’m so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for being my best friend and the best partner I could ever ask for.
Swastikas, nooses, and Confederate flags are obvious hate symbols. After facing backlash, the Coast Guard is walking back its deeply offensive decision to reclassify these symbols as “potentially divisive,” but this never should have been up for debate.
Today marks three years since the tragic mass shooting at Walmart in Chesapeake. Today I am thinking of the six souls lost in the attack, their loved ones, and the Chesapeake community. We must do more to prevent gun violence and prevent future tragedies.
A new report found systemic abuse and torture at El Salvador’s notorious megaprison CECOT. That’s why I’m renewing my calls for answers from the Trump Administration on its use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to send and hold people there.

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.
Today, @markwarner.bsky.social and I hosted Virginia veterans for coffee in D.C. We owe it to them to provide them with the benefits they deserve. I’m proud of what we’ve done to expand access to veterans’ services, and I’ll keep doing all I can to support them.

I'm horrified by Trump's calls for violence against my friends, Senator Kelly—whose wife Gabby Giffords survived an assassination attempt—and @slotkin.senate.gov, as well as Democratic House members. I hope my Republican colleagues will condemn these disturbing messages. youtube.com/shorts/Zae-P...
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, I hope you'll join me in remembering and honoring those who have lost their lives to violent hate, and stand together with the transgender community against bigotry. If you need support, call (888) 843-4564 for free, confidential peer help.

I’m thrilled that NTIA approved Virginia’s proposal to expand broadband to 133,000 unserved locations across Virginia. I was proud to secure this funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help connect communities and ensure Virginians have access to high-speed internet.
During Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate Native Americans’ traditions, contributions, and cultures. I'm proud to have worked with six Virginia tribes to secure their federal recognition, and I will always keep advocating to support tribal communities.
The Senate passed my bipartisan legislation challenging Trump’s tariffs—one of the contributing factors to rising prices. But Speaker Johnson is using procedural loopholes to avoid bringing it to a vote in the House. Senator Paul, @wyden.senate.gov, and I are urging him to change course.
