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.
Happy International Nurses Day! I'm thankful for the dedicated nurses around the world and everything they do to keep communities healthy. I’ll keep pushing to reauthorize my bill to ensure our front-line workforce has the tools needed to care for themselves and our communities.
The mass firing of federal workers and the cancellation of federal grants and contracts are hurting Virginia’s economy. We must stop these illegal and indiscriminate actions and protect the region’s economy.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, I’ll keep pushing to pass my bill to support access to high-quality mental and behavioral health care. If you need assistance, please call or text the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8, for free, confidential support 24/7.
Virginia's maternal mortality rate is nearly 47% higher than the national average. Many of these deaths are preventable, but the Trump Administration is firing staff and dismantling CDC programs that address the maternal health crisis. My colleagues and I are demanding answers.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers in Virginia and across the country! Today, I’m thinking of my mom, Kathy, and my amazing wife, Anne. Thank you to every mom for all you do!
To the countless dedicated, talented federal workers in Virginia and across the nation: Happy Public Service Recognition Week. Thank you for all you do—from administering Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security to protecting our national security to inspecting our food.
The UK deal socks the American auto industry. Every one off deal creates a weird cross current hurting some industry. That’s why the global tariff “strategy” is economic idiocy—creating job killing uncertainty. Just stop already!

Americans deserve to know if the products they buy are safe. That’s why I’m calling on OMB Director—and Project 2025 architect—Russ Vought to immediately reverse plans to dismantle the independent agency in charge of facilitating recalls of unsafe products.
It was great to meet with folks from Rebuilding America’s Middle Class yesterday to discuss the need to expand job training to ensure Americans can access good-paying, reliable jobs. That’s why I’m focused on passing my JOBS Act to do just that.
On Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we thank military spouses for their contributions, support, and sacrifices. I’ve met with military spouses to discuss challenges their families face, and I’ll keep working to boost job opportunities by passing my Military Spouse Hiring Act.
Averting a war between two nuclear powers should be everybody’s business. I urge the Trump Administration to join other nations in urging a diplomatic deescalation.

It’s a good day for the Church and I look forward to continuing my Catholic journey under the leadership of Pope Leo XIV.
I’m proud to introduce legislation with @markwarner.bsky.social to protect thousands of acres of beautiful wilderness in Rockingham, Augusta, Highland, and Bath counties for future generations, which will help support local economies through tourism and outdoor recreation.
Today is V-E Day, commemorating 80 years since the end of WWII in Europe. On this historic anniversary, let’s remember the immense sacrifices made by servicemembers that bravely fought against fascism and antisemitism. We can never let history repeat itself.
Cuts by the Trump-Musk Administration are unleashing chaos, hurting federal workers, and threatening programs Americans depend on. If you’re a federal worker living in Virginia and you’ve been impacted by DOGE, I stand with you. Share your story with me here:
