Senator Murray, Senator Warnock, and I led 26 of our colleagues in a letter pressing the Administration on the impacts foreign aid cuts and the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO have had on our ability to protect Americans from Ebola, hantavirus, and other public health threats.
The success of future generations and our economy depend on America’s teachers. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill alongside @repjahanahayes.bsky.social to provide funding for school districts to enhance or establish mentoring and induction programs for new educators. Let's break it down:
Secretary Hegseth is blocking the promotions of senior military officers for no reason. These patriotic Americans have earned their promotions based on merit, and Hegseth is standing in the way.
On the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day, we honor the brave servicemembers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Their legacy continues to live on, and we must never forget the sacrifices these heroes made in defense of our freedom and freedom around the world.
America's public lands—including the incredible Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—belong to all of us. But now the Trump-Vance Administration is auctioning it off to their Big Oil cronies that already have plenty of other areas to drill.
Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. While I’m glad we’ve made progress by passing gun safety legislation, we must keep working to keep our communities safe and prevent needless tragedies. I’ll keep pushing for my Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act to become law.
This amendment was blocked. Instead of helping Americans grapple with sky-high housing costs, Republicans want to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to immigration agencies—that are already funded at historic levels—to send more masked ICE agents to terrorize our communities.
ICE and CBP already have enough money for the next three years. They don't need another $62 billion. So Democrats are forcing a vote on a legislation to reinvest that money in building over 2 million units of affordable housing.
Today, the Senate is voting on Republicans’ attempt to ram through funding for ICE and CBP without critical reforms. My Democratic colleagues and I are forcing votes on amendments to tackle the affordability crisis and hold the Trump-Vance Administration accountable.
ICE and CBP already have enough money for the next three years. They don't need another $62 billion. So Democrats are forcing a vote on a legislation to reinvest that money in building over 2 million units of affordable housing.
The Senate just started a “vote-a-rama”—meaning Senate Democrats will offer a long series of amendments to Republicans’ budget bill that would once again massively increase ICE and CBP spending without reforms we need to keep Americans safe.
Over the past four years, the Ukrainian people have fought heroically to defend their home against Russia’s unprovoked invasion. Now, Trump is letting Putin rake in billions of dollars to fuel his war of conquest. Here’s how:

During PTSD Awareness Month and every month, I'm committed to making sure that those with post-traumatic stress have access to quality mental health care, including in the servicemember and veteran communities. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available 24/7.
It's Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month and I'm remembering my sister-in-law Tayloe who passed last year after a 15-year Alzheimer's battle. I'm grateful that my bill to improve Alzheimer's prevention, treatment, and care is now law and will keep working to fight this disease.
Happy Pride Month, Virginia! This month, we celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ community while continuing to push for safe, inclusive communities for all. No one deserves to be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love.
