In an appalling overreach of power, Trump has sent in military force—over the objections of state and local leaders—to Los Angeles in response to immigration protests. Here’s how this is a nearly unprecedented escalation:

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social highlighting a new report that estimates 302,608 Virginians will lose their health insurance if President Trump and Republicans’ tax plan is enacted:
I visited Naval Weapons Station Yorktown to see the new barracks. I last saw them when they were under construction, so it was great to see how they're improving quality of life for servicemembers now that they're open. I'll keep working to boost military housing.
62 years ago today, JFK signed the Equal Pay Act into law. Yet in 2023, women in VA were still being paid about 79 cents for every dollar a man made for doing the same job. That's not fair, which is why I’ll keep pushing to turn the Paycheck Fairness Act into law to ensure fair pay.
It's simple: states with stronger gun safety laws are safer for children. If the Supreme Court won’t protect kids, then Congress must, starting by passing my Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act—commonsense steps already adopted by VA to better protect our communities.
My statement on President Donald Trump’s activation of 2,000 National Guard troops in California, over the objections of California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, in response to immigration protests:
Earlier this week, I had the honor of talking with Virginians who would be hurt by the planned GOP cuts to nutrition assistance. Heartbreakingly, their stories are not uncommon—millions more, including children, would be hurt across the country. I’m fighting against that.
It’s National Trails Day. As a lover of hiking and the outdoors, I’m concerned by the recent cuts to the National Park Service–threatening the long-term maintenance of our parks and trails. I’ll keep doing all I can to protect our natural treasures and the economies that rely on them.
Maternity care costs can make existing health disparities even worse. My bipartisan bill would change that by making childbirth, including prenatal and postpartum care, more accessible. Let’s get it done and keep working together to make health care more affordable.
It’s Gun Violence Awareness Day. While I’m grateful to have helped pass crucial gun safety legislation into law, my heart is heavy when I think of those who have suffered due to gun violence. We need to keep seeking bipartisan solutions to make our communities more safe.
On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, we remember and honor the brave servicemembers who stormed the beaches of Normandy to protect not only our nation—but the world—from tyranny. We must never forget these individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social slamming the House GOP’s effort to help Trump ignore court orders:
Eid Mubarak! Wishing a blessed and peaceful Eid al-Adha to the Muslim community in Virginia and across the nation!
Trump’s idiotic tariffs are projected to slow GDP growth in America and around the world. I’m continuing to do all I can to keep him from driving our economy into a ditch.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social condemning provisions in the GOP tax plan that would eliminate gun safety measures:
My statement on President Donald Trump’s revival of his travel ban policy.
Can’t keep track of everything in the ridiculous GOP budget bill? You’re not alone. Here are five crazy facts about the bill to get you caught up:
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on a new analysis revealing 16 million Americans would lose their health insurance under the Republican tax plan:
Hi, folks! There’s a lot of awful stuff in the GOP tax bill—it’s hard to keep track. If you’ve been wanting to ask a senator about it, today you can! I’ll be on the @senatedems livestream on Instagram at 5 PM today answering questions from those who hop on. Hope to see y’all there.
During this year’s Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, I’m thinking of my sister-in-law Tayloe who died in March after a courageous 15-year battle with Alzheimer’s. I’m fighting for more research, more prevention and treatment options, and more support for caregivers.
