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:
Trump is trying to weasel his way out of a court order requiring him to help millions of hungry Americans. No one, especially children, should be forced to go hungry.
Last month’s layoffs were the highest we’ve seen in the month of October in 22 years. That means the last time this many people were laid off in October, Friends was still releasing new episodes, Beyoncé had just released her debut solo album, and W. was still in his first term as president.
Just about everyone, regardless of political party, can agree: food poisoning is the worst. But Trump’s FDA staffing cuts mean fewer safety inspections of food facilities, putting us all at greater risk of getting very sick, or in the most severe cases, dying.

My statement slamming the Senate’s failure to pass my bipartisan legislation to stop unauthorized war against Venezuela:
Trump has PUBLICLY threatened land strikes in Venezuela—after already killing at least 66 unknown people on boats in the Caribbean—unnecessarily putting the U.S. at risk of war. Here’s what @schiff.senate.gov, Senator Paul, and I are doing about it:

Today marks the longest government shutdown in U.S. history—passing Trump’s own previous record from his first term. Democratic leaders have once again requested a meeting with Trump to negotiate a deal. I hope he'll meet us at the table.

Awful. Trump has the power to do more to help hungry Americans—including children—he’s just choosing not to.

My statement regarding the Supreme Court’s first day of oral arguments on cases challenging Trump’s tariffs:
The vast majority of Americans agree: Trump is to blame for soaring costs. Between his foolish tariffs, illegal federal funding freezes, and mass layoffs of federal workers, it’s clear he’s taking our economy in the wrong direction.
President Trump is illegally trying to eliminate the Department of Education and shuffle around the enforcement of education protections that help ensure that students with disabilities have equal learning opportunities. That's wrong, and I'm calling on Trump to reverse course.
