I was horrified by the attack on peaceful protestors in Boulder on the eve of Shavuot. Violence has no place in our communities and we must condemn bigotry and antisemitism in all its forms. I’m grateful for the first responders and praying for the survivors and their families.

The GOP tax bill cuts SNAP (nutrition assistance) benefits for over 204,000 Virginians. Yesterday I toured Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank to highlight their critical work and heard powerful stories from SNAP recipients about how important SNAP is. I will always work to protect this vital program.
If you're struggling, help is available 24/7. Dial 988 or text NAMI to 62640. For servicemembers and veterans in need, Dial 988 then press 1 or visit ptsd.va.gov.
June is PTSD Awareness Month. Millions of Americans live with post-traumatic stress and deserve reliable access to quality mental health care. This month and always, I am dedicated to expanding access to care.
Welcome home to Hampton Roads! I’m thankful for the safe return of our amazing sailors after an eight-month deployment and glad they are reunited with their incredible families. www.pilotonline.com/2025/06/01/u...
Happy Pride Month, Virginia! This year, especially, we celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ community and strive to make our nation a better, more accepting place for future generations. Today and always, I stand alongside the LGBTQ+ community to fight for equality for all.
Today, we honor and remember the 12 lives tragically lost six years ago in the horrific shooting in Virginia Beach. We must end gun violence by preserving and strengthening our gun safety laws to prevent future tragedies and protect our communities.
I condemn the Department of Labor’s decision to shut down Jobs Corps centers, including those in Monroe and Marion. These programs are a lifeline for young people in need—giving them direction and skills and helping them enter the workforce. This is not progress.
I forced a Senate vote on these tariffs weeks ago to clarify whether my colleagues stood by their constituents or followed Trump like lemmings. I welcome the Court ruling, and I’ll keep forcing votes every time I can to challenge Trump’s unlawful behavior.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social condemning the GOP tax plan for driving up costs and the deficit:
On this Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Together, we honor and express our deep gratitude to them and recommit to supporting Gold Star families.
It's been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered. I'm disturbed that the DOJ recently halted ongoing investigations and dropped police agreements put in place after his death and other similar incidents to improve oversight and prevent tragedies. That's dangerous.
Today, on the U.S. Foreign Service's 101st birthday, I thank Foreign Service Officers for their work promoting human rights and U.S. national security interests around the world—and I stand with them against reckless, mass cuts that will make Americans and the world less safe.
I was glad to be in Ottawa today for meetings with @mark-carney.bsky.social, members of his cabinet and Canadian business leaders alongside @shaheen.senate.gov, Senator Cramer, @klobuchar.senate.gov and @welch.senate.gov because our relationship with Canada is invaluable.
Republicans just voted to cut vital food assistance to over 200,000 Virginians, including children, and millions more across the nation. My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the cruelty of cuts to nutrition assistance:
My statement on the heartbreaking shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in DC last night:
For many, employer-sponsored retirement plans are a crucial to their long-term financial security. But one in four workers isn't taking advantage of these opportunities. I’m introducing legislation to help more Americans get enrolled so they can improve their financial footing.
With so much economic uncertainty, it's critical that we keep lowering health care costs. That's why I'm introducing a bipartisan bill to cut costs for maternal care and childbirth. I'll keep working to put great care within reach for moms and newborns throughout their lives.
Americans are struggling with price hikes caused by Trump’s trade wars. Instead of working to fix the economy, Trump accepted his $400 million luxury jet from Qatar today—an obvious bribe that is insulting to the American people and a threat to our national security. This is a failure of leadership.
My statement on the passing of my friend @connolly.house.gov:
