75 years ago yesterday, Barbara Johns led hundreds of students in a walkout protesting racial discrimination in Farmville. Her brave actions contributed to the outlawing of school segregation nationwide in Brown v. Board of Ed. I'm glad a statue in the Capitol now honors her legacy.

Happy World Book Day! As a lifelong reader, I’m thankful for the opportunities books have given me to learn new things and see the world from new perspectives. What are you reading today to celebrate?
Access to quality and affordable primary care is critical. But workforce shortages create barriers in accessing that care. That’s why I’m introducing a bill to help address the underlying causes of health workforce shortages by investing in training future primary care providers.
During National Library Week, we honor the transformative role libraries play by opening the door to new worlds of learning for everyone. As a lifelong lover of books, I hope you'll join me this week in celebrating these valued community institutions and visit your local library.
Rural health care providers in Virginia are already making tough calls and shutting doors because of last year’s GOP budget bill—and it hasn’t even gone into full effect yet. I’m going to keep pressing the Trump-Vance Administration about the care they've threatened. youtube.com/shorts/Esx22...
I’m gearing up for a vote-a-rama—Senate Democrats will offer a long series of amendments to the GOP’s budget bill that tees up yet another massive increase in spending for ICE and CBP without any reforms to keep Americans safe. Stay tuned.
Plane tickets were already expensive. Now Trump’s chaotic war is cutting jet fuel supply and pushing costs up even more for families trying to take a vacation, visit loved ones, or—God forbid—travel for a family emergency. The war needs to end. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
We should never send our servicemembers into harm’s way unless absolutely necessary. It’s clear Trump has no real plan or rationale for his war against Iran. Today, the Senate has another chance to stop the war and save lives. This is too important to give up.
This is dangerous. The Trump-Vance Administration’s vaccine fear-mongering agenda—and attempts to downplay the overwhelming evidence that they are safe and effective—puts Americans’ health and safety at risk, especially immunocompromised Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...
Happy Earth Day! As a lover of the outdoors, I’m proud to have secured funding to protect and improve access to VA’s natural treasures, including the Creeper Trail and McAfee Knob. I hope you take time to go outside and that we all recommit to being good stewards of the planet.
It’s Infertility Awareness Week. According to @who.int, 1 in 6 people struggle with infertility worldwide. But access to fertility treatments is threatened by extremists. Congress must act to protect access to fertility treatments like IVF.
My statement on reports that the Trump-Vance Administration may send Afghans, including those who served with the U.S. military and more than 400 children, to the Congo:
Our Afghan allies provided critical support to U.S. forces for over 20 years, but the Trump-Vance Administration has turned its back on them and their families, shutting down key resettlement programs. The idea that we’re now in talks to send as many as 1,100 Afghans, whom we have already evacuated, to the DRC—a country with severe political instability, violence, and a massive refugee and humanitarian crisis—is insane. [1/2]
We told these Afghans that we would help ensure their safety after they helped us. We have an obligation to follow through on our promise because it’s the right thing to do, and because going back on our word will only make it harder for us to build the kinds of partnerships we may need to advance our national security in the future. [2/2]
Economist and anti-corruption advocate Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, who has ties to Virginia, has been unjustly detained in Azerbaijan for 1,000 days. No one should be imprisoned for speaking out against corruption. Azerbaijan must uphold human rights and due process.
For all Trump cares, gas could be $100 a gallon. Skyrocketing fuel prices don’t affect him. But that’s not reality for the vast majority of Americans. We need to bring down costs ASAP.
Tuesday night, I was honored to receive the Military Officers Association of America’s Marix Award for my efforts on the Military Spouse Hiring Act. I’ll keep working to get this bipartisan bill across the finish line and continue doing all I can to support our incredible military families.
