Familias en Virginia estan pagando casi 10.8 milliones de dólares más al día en gasolina de lo que pagaban hace dos meses. La razón? La guerra illegal e imprudente del presidente Trump en contra de Irán.
Yesterday, I joined local leaders and partners in Chesapeake to celebrate a significant construction milestone for LS GreenLink's new cable manufacturing facility. I was proud to help secure $100 million in tax credits to make this historic investment in Virginia's economy possible.
On National Teachers' Day, we celebrate the contributions educators make in classrooms across the nation as they shape the minds of the next generation. I’ve introduced a bill to improve educators’ access to mental health resources, and will keep working to support our teachers.
Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate the diverse cultures, incredible achievements, and valued contributions of the AANHPI community in Virginia and across the nation.
On International Firefighters Day, we honor all who risk their lives to keep us safe and those who lost their lives in service. I’m proud that a law I helped pass brought over $20 million in funding to VA last year to ensure our fire departments have the resources they need.
It's Public Service Recognition Week! This week, we celebrate the immense contributions of public servants at the federal, state, and local levels. You all keep our country running, keep us safe, and make our communities better places to live. Thank you for your service.
Alrededor de los EE.UU., legislación en contra de inmigrantes está fallando en asambleas estatales—en gran parte porque la comunidad comercial se está oponiendo. Estoy feliz que más personas están reconociendo las contribuciones que los inmigrantes traen a nuestra nación. youtube.com/shorts/dqgMN...
As we mark the beginning of National Military Appreciation Month, I remain committed to supporting our servicemembers and their families. We owe them tremendous gratitude for their sacrifices and service to our country.
On World Press Freedom Day, we honor the journalists who go to extraordinary lengths to bring the truth to light. As democratic values and institutions are being threatened around the world, we must reaffirm our commitment to protecting the freedom of the press.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, let's recommit to supporting one another and ending the stigma. I’ll keep working across the aisle to expand access to high-quality mental health care. If you need help, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8, for free, confidential support 24/7.
It was great to visit Boulder Crest Foundation in Bluemont to learn how they support and build resilience among veterans, servicemembers, law enforcement, and other first responders. I’m glad I helped secure $1 million in funding to expand their programs to VA law enforcement officers.

Check it out: @vpm.org has a new documentary on the iconic Shenandoah National Park, exploring its geology, wildlife, and history. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to visit the park soon—Virginia is beautiful in the spring. www.vpm.org/shenandoah
It’s our duty to support caregivers for people with disabilities—no family should be punished for sharing their home and providing care to vulnerable loved ones. The Trump-Vance Administration should reverse this plan.
The cut to SSI for families who also rely on SNAP was not the Social Security Administration’s idea, even though that agency runs the SSI program. Instead, it was initiated by top White House and DOGE officials last year, ProPublica has learned.
Is it worth sending our sons and daughters into another war in the Middle East without a plan, without a rationale, without allies, without congressional consultation? The answer is no, and that's why we won’t stop trying to end the President's war with Iran. youtu.be/qJO_7W1uhdk
First, it was Georgia. Then Arizona. Now, the Trump Administration has demanded that Wayne County, Michigan, turn over all ballots from the 2024 election. These are flashing red warning signs of intent to interfere with the 2026 and 2028 elections. Know your rights.
It's National Fentanyl Awareness Day. I'm working to build on the progress made by my legislation—which is now law—to direct increased federal attention on the fight against fentanyl, especially at a time when the Trump-Vance Administration cuts funding for overdose prevention.
