Happy Kwanzaa to all celebrating and enjoying the festivities. This year, the first principle of Kwanzaa, Umoja, which means unity in Swahili, is especially on my mind. Let’s embrace that value in Virginia, our country, and around the world.

From my family to yours, I want to wish everyone celebrating in Virginia and around the world a very Merry Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with joy and time with loved ones.
This year’s annual defense bill, which contains key provisions I fought for to increase servicemember pay, formally end the Iraq Wars, and improve military families' access to health care and child care, is now law.
Offshore wind projects create jobs and lower costs. So why does Trump want to eliminate them? Because he’s bought and paid for by Big Oil.
Between mass firings, halted federal funding, Trump’s chaotic economic policies, and more, it’s been a tough year for many Virginians. But I still want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate what we were able to accomplish together. I’ll see y’all in 2026.

Happy birthday, Space Force! As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I'll keep working to support our Guardians, so they can continue defending American interests in space.
DOJ’s failure to meet today’s deadline to release the entire Epstein files conflicts with the law Congress passed and Trump signed, mandating the full release. DOJ must comply with the law NOW. We won’t stop fighting for justice for the victims and to bring the truth to light.
Huge news: after many years, my bipartisan bill with Senator Todd Young to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force against Iraq was signed into law. This is a historic win for Americans and allows us to close the book on this forever war.
Miners and their families take on enormous burdens to power the country. It's unacceptable that many families of deceased miners struggle to access their benefits, so @markwarner.bsky.social and I introduced a bill to cut red tape and make it easier for them to get the resources they need.
Hanukkah feels somber this year as we mourn those murdered in the antisemitic attack in Australia. As Jews around the world light their menorahs, we are reminded of the miracle and that even on the darkest nights, we can find hope in the light.

Earlier this year, Trump made massive cuts to humanitarian aid. New research shows that this year alone, 200,000 children under five will needlessly die because of these cruel cuts. I’m doing all I can to restore this funding and save innocent children’s lives.

Student loan debt is holding VA families and the economy back. It should be easier, not harder, for students to afford to go to college if that is the right path for them. That’s why I’m introducing bipartisan legislation to end an antiquated tax on student loan borrowers.
Beyond proud that Virginia is now represented in the Capitol by Barbara Rose Johns, a trailblazer who led protests against conditions in her school that helped end segregation in the U.S.
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.
