Trump and the GOP developed a budget plan with no Dem input. Dems offered an alternative that protects folks’ health care. Trump said he’d meet to negotiate, but then canceled the meeting. Why does he want to shut the government down AND take health care away from millions?

Last week, I called out the Trump Administration for failing to answer basic questions about why it attacked boats in the Caribbean, if they were actually drug boats, why it didn’t interdict to gain important intel on narco kingpins, and who exactly was killed. We need answers. youtu.be/_fGRd_vdFdU
When I was a fair housing attorney, I saw the crucial role fair housing laws played in protecting folks from discrimination when buying or renting. But the Trump Administration isn’t upholding these protections, leaving veterans, single moms, and millions of others vulnerable.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social after President Trump canceled a meeting with Democratic leadership on government funding:
Reality check: Untreated fevers in pregnant moms can lead to risks to both mom and baby. No evidence suggests a causal relationship between Tylenol usage and autism.
This is a dangerous attempt to distract Americans from RFK Jr.’s incompetence and Trump's health care cuts.
First he imposed tariffs on Brazil, raising costs for Americans. Then he sanctioned the judge who oversaw Bolsonaro’s prosecution. Now he’s sanctioning the judge’s wife? This is a blatant abuse of power. Trump cares more about helping his friend than helping the American people.
First, President Trump failed to lower grocery prices like he promised. Then, he slashed food stamp funding, yanking critical support away from 78,000 people in Virginia alone.
No wonder he doesn't want to track hunger in America.

As Rosh Hashanah begins tonight, I’m wishing our Jewish community in Virginia and beyond a safe, healthy, and meaningful new year. Shana Tova!
Trump and congressional Republicans created a health care crisis: families are facing skyrocketing premiums, and hundreds of rural hospitals face the risk of closure.
What did Republicans do in response? They voted down legislation to fix the problem. Unbelievable.
Did you know that today is National Wife Appreciation Day? Anne—you make every day brighter!
ICYMI: Republicans voted down legislation to keep the government from shutting down and protect Americans’ access to health care. Republicans have control of the White House, the Senate, and the House. They’re failing to lead, and Americans will suffer as a result.
Virginians want more access to affordable health care, not less. But yesterday Republicans voted to punish the American people with legislation that will cause premiums to soar.
Actions speak louder than words.
Eight of my Republican colleagues in the Senate didn't bother to show up yesterday to vote on legislation to fund the government and protect health care for millions. Every single Democrat did.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on Republicans voting down legislation to fund the government, protect Virginians’ access to health care, and prohibit the Trump Administration from illegally withholding funding appropriated by Congress:
Virginia's incredible schools have been key to our economic success. When the Trump Administration goes after our schools for political reasons, we all suffer. This funding is critical and should not be cut. patch.com/virginia/res...
Despite Bill White spreading baseless conspiracy theories and amplifying a convicted Belgian white nationalist influencer and Holocaust denier, Foreign Relations Committee Republicans rubber-stamped him to be Trump’s Ambassador to Belgium. Horrifying.
On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the sacrifice and courage of our servicemembers who were taken as prisoners of war or went missing in action. Their memories will never be forgotten.
Trump’s tariffs on Brazilian goods—which he imposed to try to stop Brazil’s prosecution of his friend—are making life more expensive for Americans. That’s why I’m forcing a vote in the Senate to repeal them.
Happy 78th birthday to the U.S. Air Force!
Thank you to the men and women of the Air Force for your service and sacrifice. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I will keep working to support our servicemembers and ensure the Air Force has the resources to defend America and our skies.

For years, @kaine.senate.gov and I tried to raise the alarm – DCA was already at capacity and never needed additional flights.
The most crowded runway in the country should have never had more flights pushed onto it by out-of-state lawmakers.
