This Military Family Appreciation Month and always, I thank our military families for their sacrifices to keep us safe. That includes juggling moves while building their lives and careers, which is why I'll keep pushing for my bill to boost job opportunities for military spouses.

If only we knew who imposed the tariffs to begin with.

My statement on Trump’s defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman after he was asked about the murder of journalist and Northern Virginia resident Jamal Khashoggi:
Americans know that achieving the American Dream begins with a good education—Trump lives in a fantasy if he thinks closing the Department of Education is a good idea. This will hurt our economy and set our students up for failure. Students deserve better.
The victims of Jeffrey Epstein–and the American people–deserve answers, accountability, and the truth. That’s why @markwarner.bsky.social and I are joining 45 of our colleagues in calling on Republican leadership to immediately bring the Epstein Files Transparency Act to a vote in the Senate.
The House of Representatives is voting today on legislation to compel the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files. I hope it's a unanimous vote and that the bill will be taken up quickly in the Senate. Epstein’s victims deserve justice.
I’m glad federal workers are getting their jobs back, the government is open, and we'll have a health care vote soon. But I'm fighting to remove a ridiculous, last-minute provision GOP leadership added to the funding deal to give Republican senators personal $500,000 windfalls.
Good luck @washingtonspirit.com in the National Women’s Soccer League Championship game this Saturday! We’re so lucky to have such an incredible team training in Virginia. This will be a great game. Let’s go, @washingtonspirit.com!
How it started: How it's going:
Today, we celebrate four years of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Since it became law, it has funded improvements to bridges, airports, and roads, and expanded broadband access across Virginia. I’ll keep working to reauthorize it so we can build on the progress we've made.
The Virginia Creeper Trail is an iconic trail in VA and plays a critical role in the local economy. I'm proud to have secured funding to restore it after Hurricane Helene. I’m glad progress is being made to rebuild it, and I can’t wait to get back on it! cardinalnews.org/2025/11/10/2...
Trump’s trade war with Canada is harming our relationship with one of our closest allies, driving up costs on goods for Americans, and lowering tourism to the U.S. The Senate passed my bipartisan bill to end these taxes. Now the House should bring it to a vote.
Trump declared an “energy emergency” and canceled clean energy projects. Now Virginians are on average paying $130 more in annual energy costs. I’ve forced votes to overturn this sham emergency. My R colleagues have refused, but I’m going to keep working to lower costs.
My statement on the three-year anniversary of the University of Virginia shooting:
After mounting pain, risks to Americans’ safety, and no clear end in sight, I voted to end the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Read why: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/o...
This morning, I attended a Wreath-Laying Ceremony in Arlington with VFW Post 3150 to honor Veterans Day. Today and every day, we remember the sacrifices and dedication of our nation’s veterans.
In recognition of Veterans Day, thank you to all the men and women who have served in uniform to protect our nation. I will keep working to ensure you and your families have the benefits and services you deserve.
Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Marine Corps! As the father of a Marine, I’ve seen firsthand the service, leadership, and dedication of our nation’s Marines. I will continue working to ensure you and your families have the support you need as the Ranking Member on the Senate Seapower Subcommittee.
My statement on the funding deal to reopen government, protect federal employees, and vote to protect health care:
