A year ago, I traveled to Damascus to meet with local leaders and learn how I could best help provide the resources needed to recover. While I know there’s still more work ahead, I'm amazed by SWVA’s resilience.

I’m wishing a safe and meaningful fast to those observing Yom Kippur across Virginia and the world. G'mar Chatima Tova.
It's day one of Trump and Republicans’ government shutdown. I know these are difficult times, but I’m working to find a solution for Virginians. Here’s what’s happening:

A lot of folks have a lot of questions about what a government shutdown means. Here are some answers:

You know what they say about broken clocks. Trump and I may not agree on a lot, but he was right in this video—if there is a government shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president.

My statement on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump’s meeting with military officers at Quantico:
I spoke with leaders from across VA working at community pharmacies, health care centers, and community-based organizations. We talked about how this Administration's funding cuts and health conspiracies are eroding trust in science and threatening the health of Virginians.
Trump claimed his ridiculous tariffs would help American businesses. That was a lie. Trump’s tariffs are strangling small businesses and many won’t survive. I’m going to keep forcing votes to undo Trump’s tariff chaos.

Like a lot of folks, I love starting my morning off with a cup of joe. But this National Coffee Day, I’m fired up that Trump’s personal grievances mean Americans are paying 20.9% more for their coffee than last year. No one wants that. I’m challenging Trump’s chaos.

FEMA provides critical support to states during a disaster. Virginians saw that last year during Hurricane Helene. But, because Trump gutted FEMA, communities struck by recent disasters aren’t getting desperately needed aid. Ordinary people are paying the price for this Administration’s decisions.
SWVA's resilience after Hurricane Helene is a powerful example of what’s possible through community collaboration. We have more to do, but it was great to join folks in Damascus at Hope Floats Day this weekend to recognize the progress we’ve made so far to rebuild.
Assessments about threats to our national security should be based on facts, not conspiracy theories or whatever is most politically convenient to the Trump Administration.
Axing this report will make Americans less safe.
Had a great tour of the EO Regional Workforce and Child Development Hub in Abingdon on Friday. I was impressed with EO’s innovative work, especially by how they partner with companies to help people enter the workforce and keep parents in the workforce by providing child care.
Had a great tour of the Appalachian Center for Hope in Marion! I was proud to secure federal funding to renovate ACH’s facility, and it was amazing to see the progress that’s being made. This facility will support so many people recovering from substance use disorder.
Happy National Public Lands Day! I hope you’ll get some fresh air in one of Virginia’s national parks today while entrance fees are waived.
I promise to keep working to protect the National Park Service and our public lands from the Trump Administration’s cuts to federal funding.
Pam Bondi’s statement on former FBI Director James Comey’s indictment says it all: retribution against Trump’s enemies first, facts second, if at all.

The American people want Trump to focus on lowering the cost of groceries, health care, housing, and other necessities.
Instead, he’s using the power of the presidency to go after his perceived political enemies. What a waste.

I was glad to celebrate 50 years of the NRV Area Agency on Aging and congratulate former Executive Director Tina King, who retired in January, on 42 years of service. I will keep working to reauthorize the Older Americans Act to support older Americans.
Great visit with @unitedwaycville.bsky.social touring the Barrett Early Learning Center—one of the oldest child care centers in VA. I’ve been proud to get legislation signed into law to expand access to child care, and I’ll keep fighting to pass my legislation to build on this progress.
