Trump is illegally attempting to eliminate the Inter-American Foundation, ending important work in our hemisphere to bolster security and prosperity. As the top Democrat on the Senate Western Hemisphere subcommittee, I’m demanding Trump reverse course.
Mary W. Jackson, a Hampton native, became the first African American woman engineer at NASA in 1958. There, she supported space missions, including the first moon landing. Her barrier-breaking career was chronicled in the book and film “Hidden Figures,” and in 2021, the NASA HQ was named after her.

Confidence in the economy hasn’t dropped this sharply in years. That’s probably because Trump hasn’t lifted a finger to help the economy in his 29 days as president. In fact, he’s pushing policies, like tariffs and halting investments in clean energy manufacturing, that will actively raise prices.
The American consumer is getting worried about the economy.
Trump is the energy emergency—and he’s killing jobs and raising costs. My joint statement with @senatorheinrich.bsky.social regarding Republicans’ rubber-stamping of Trump’s war on affordable, American-made energy:
Statement reading: The United States is producing more energy than any country in the world at any point in history. If President Trump wants to find the real emergency, he should look in the mirror. His war on American-made energy is yet another Trump mistake that will weaken our economy, raise prices, and kill new, good-paying jobs. And today’s vote goes to show, once again, that Senate Republicans refuse to do their jobs and put the American people above the wish lists of Trump’s donors and billionaire energy tycoons. To our colleagues: don’t say we didn’t warn you when your constituents’ energy bills go through the roof. To the American people: we’re going to keep fighting for you.
Update: we are about to vote on an amendment that would help prevent increases in your energy bill. That’s money back in folks’ pocketbooks. Let’s see where GOP priorities are.
Right now in the Capitol: The Senate is about to vote on an amendment to the GOP budget bill focused on bringing down the cost of groceries. Let’s see if Republicans are as interested in cutting your grocery bills as they are in giving billionaires tax cuts.
Trump bragged about overturning Roe, which created threats to women's access to reproductive care, including IVF. Americans were outraged, especially after Rs blocked a Dem bill to protect IVF access. Now Trump is trying to save face with a meaningless order that won't actually safeguard IVF.
The White House's claim: Trump's executive order on IVF is a "promises made, promises kept" moment. Reality: The executive order doesn't actually do much of anything, and doesn't even try to keep the promises Trump made before the election. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Dr. Booker T. Washington rose from an enslaved childhood in Virginia to become a founder of the National Negro Business League and Tuskegee University, shaping generations through his unwavering support for African American entrepreneurship and education.

I heard from local farmers and agricultural stakeholders in Loudoun County about President Trump’s proposed tariffs and the uncertainty of federal funding. We also discussed the farm bill and immigration. I’m grateful for their views, which will help me advocate for them better in the Senate.

My heart aches for the Virginians impacted by the destructive flooding in SW. @markwarner.bsky.social and I wrote the Administration urging the approval of Virginia’s expedited Major Disaster Declaration to quickly get these communities the help they need.

At a time when President Trump is flirting with tariffs that could crush America's farmers, we need a Secretary of Agriculture who understands those communities. Not a right-wing think tank CEO. That's why I voted no on Brooke Rollins' nomination yesterday.
I was just briefed by the National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the tragic crash near DCA. We are determined to get to the bottom of what happened. Congress and the Admin owe it to the families impacted by this disaster work together to ensure this never happens again.
In 1959, Mildred Loving and her husband Richard were convicted under Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage. The Lovings waged a historic legal battle for their right to be married and won in the 1967 Loving v. Virginia SCOTUS decision, ending interracial marriage bans in every state.
