Unvetted DOGE bros are rifling through millions of Americans’ personal information, posing serious privacy and national security risks. That’s why I’m introducing legislation with @markwarner.bsky.social to protect that information by increasing penalties for violating privacy laws.

The Inflation Reduction Act has supported 20,000+ Virginia jobs, cut energy costs, and helped us be leaders in the clean energy economy. The Republican budget would undo all of that progress by rolling back the Inflation Reduction Act to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
Overdose deaths have stolen too many lives. This is a positive sign that VA is recovering, but there's still work to do. I’m glad my bipartisan bill to tackle fentanyl was signed by President Biden and will keep working to build on that progress to protect our communities.
Founded 60 years ago today, Head Start has provided education and health care to countless kids in Virginia and across the U.S. for decades. As Trump attempts to cut funding for Head Start, I will continue to fight to protect these crucial programs.
On this day in 1954, the Supreme Court ruled school segregation laws unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. 71 years later, the U.S. has made progress – but we must continue the fight for civil rights and racial equality.
Folks’ confidence in the economy has nosedived since Trump took office and started implementing disastrous economic policies like massive global tariffs. I’m going to keep doing all I can to protect our economy from Trump’s worst impulses.
On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we recommit to stamping out hate toward LGBTQ+ folks. Amidst the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ bills and policies, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community and will keep working to create a more welcoming and safer world for all.
On National Armed Forces Day—and always—I’m grateful for the bravery and dedication of our women and men in uniform. I’ll continue to advocate for servicemembers and their families as a member of the Armed Services Committee.
Many American families are already struggling to afford the cost of living. Now companies are warning Trump’s reckless and unnecessary tariffs will spike costs for everyday goods. We must end these tariffs immediately before the American people and economy pay the price.
Great morning in D.C. celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month with @markwarner.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, and VA’s AANHPI community. These talented individuals have made VA a stronger, more prosperous place.
The Trump Administration is slashing staff from the Department of Health and Human services and then failing to answer Virginians’ questions about their health care. That’s wrong. In yesterday’s health committee hearing, I demanded answers from RFK Jr. directly. His response:
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is horrific. Innocent civilians need food and medical supplies—necessities that aren't bargaining chips.
The Israeli government must lift aid blockades and we must reach a ceasefire and hostage deal—the only durable path to resolving the crisis.
Republicans blocked my legislation to demand answers from the Trump Administration about whether or not it is complying with U.S. court orders about the forced disappearances of people to megaprisons in El Salvador.
And Trump says he's sending American citizens there next.
My statement condemning President Donald Trump for urging the Supreme Court to side with the Administration’s efforts to roll back birthright citizenship:
Trump threatened, on camera, to send U.S. citizens to megaprisons in El Salvador. In the United States we have due process—we don’t disappear our own citizens to a foreign country. I’m forcing a vote on my legislation demanding accountability from the Trump Administration.
I’m heartbroken that Jordan Sims, a 12-year-old boy, tragically lost his life after being swept away by floodwaters in Albemarle County. Jordan, his family, and all who knew him are in my prayers. I thank the first responders who vigilantly searched for him.
Happy 418th birthday to the Virginia National Guard! From responding to disasters at home to supporting missions abroad, the National Guard has always stepped up in times of need. Thank you for your service to our Commonwealth and nation.
Trump’s tariffs are raising the cost of everything from strollers to clothing to cookware. I’ve stood up to the Administration and forced a vote on my legislation challenging these senseless new taxes. I’m going to keep fighting to bring down costs for the American people.
Today, @vanhollen.senate.gov and I hosted leaders from Cristosal, University of Central America and Alianza Americas to discuss the upcoming vote on our bill to demand answers from the Trump Admin on El Salvador’s human rights record and Trump deporting American residents to Salvadoran megaprisons.
It's unconscionable for the Trump Administration to terminate TPS for Afghans living in the U.S. This is a callous betrayal of people who worked with and risked their lives to help the U.S. It's indisputable that conditions in Afghanistan have deteriorated under Taliban rule.
