The horrific aircraft crash near DCA that stole 67 lives this past January was an unimaginable tragedy.
We owe it to those lost and their loved ones to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
Here’s my plan:

We’ve been in dialogue with laid-off federal workers and contractors and tried to point out helpful resources. Here’s a great opportunity—a Career Transitions Workshop at Heritage Fellowship Church in Reston tomorrow, June 14, at 9:00 AM.
77 years ago today, President Truman opened our Armed Services to women who wanted to serve. Happy Women Veterans Recognition Day to all our women veterans and thank you for all you’ve done in service of our nation. I will continue to work to honor your bravery and sacrifice.
What happened to @padilla.senate.gov is an attempt to intimidate anyone with a dissenting view of this Administration and stop them from exercising their First Amendment rights. We will not be silenced.

It was a great morning meeting with young people from Virginia who have accepted appointments to the U.S. Military, Naval, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine Academies. Their commitment to serving our country is inspiring, and I know they will go on to do great things.
I’m disappointed the GOP voted against my legislation to block certain arm sales to Qatar and the UAE after the Trump family extracted billions of dollars in corrupt gifts and deals from them. We deserve a president who will prioritize the American people, not his pocketbook.
Happy Loving Day! 58 years ago today, Mildred and Richard Loving—a couple from Virginia—won a historic legal battle in the Supreme Court to end state bans on interracial marriage. Today, we celebrate their bravery and love as we continue our work to end discrimination and racism.
My statement on FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s proposal to move the FBI National Academy from Quantico, Virginia to Huntsville, Alabama:
My statement on the Department of Defense launching a review of the Australia-U.K.-U.S. (AUKUS) submarine deal.
The Constitution grants equal power to the president and Congress. Trump doesn't like that, and is declaring emergencies left and right to make an end run around Congress. It's past time for the Senate to take back our authority—and I'm going to keep forcing votes to do that.
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.
