Americans want lower—not higher—costs. But President Trump plans to impose broad-based tariffs, which would raise the price of goods and hurt families. That’s why Senator Shaheen, @wydenpress.bsky.social and I introduced a bill to make it harder for the President to impose sweeping tariffs.

Congratulations to Marion’s own Billy the Kid. A fitting tribute to one of the best baseball players in Virginia history.

Today, Luke 6:45 is on my mind—“from the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks.” When Trump’s nominee for the Office of Management and Budget says he wants to traumatize the federal workforce, I believe him.
Haven't enrolled in health care coverage for 2025 yet? Today is the last day you can enroll through Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace, with coverage starting Feb 1. Head to www.marketplace.virginia.gov to find the plan that works best for you and your family.
My statement on the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade:
I’m proud of my work alongside my colleagues to lower prescription drug costs for seniors. But now Trump is rolling back the progress we made and seniors are left to foot the bill.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on President Trump’s executive order to attack the federal workforce, including by weakening protections for federal workers that will make it easier to carry out politically-motivated mass firings and imposing a government hiring freeze:
My statement on President Trump’s executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship:
My statement after President Trump pardoned or commuted sentences for more than 1,500 insurrectionists involved in the deadly January 6 attack, including people convicted of assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy:
Remember how Trump vetoed the ENTIRE defense bill in 2020 because he objected to “rewriting history” by removing Confederate base names? Apparently he’s now fine with rewriting history.

On MLK, Jr. Day, Dr. King’s words continue to inspire me. Now more than ever, we must stand up against hate and injustice. It will be up to all of us to carry on his legacy and continue working for a brighter, more equal future.
I’m joining Face the Nation today to talk about the ceasefire deal in Gaza and President-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees—including Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. Tune in!
One of the most important provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act was allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices—cutting prescription costs for seniors. I’m glad the Biden Admin. announced the next 15 prescription drugs for negotiation. thehill.com/policy/healt...
Faith is an integral part of countless individuals’ lives—including my own. This National Religious Freedom Day, we recommit to upholding Americans’ Constitutional right to practice their respective faiths and disavow all faith-based discrimination.
Trump’s proposed plans to target nonpartisan federal workers threaten the services Virginians rely on. These workers must be hired based on their expertise, not their political party. That’s why I introduced a bill today to protect them from politically-motivated firings.
I’m thrilled $3.9 million in federal funding—made possible by the American Rescue Plan I helped pass—is coming to Disputanta to expand workforce training to support the Richmond-Petersburg Advanced Pharmaceutical Manufacturing cluster.

As a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, I’m committed to ensuring that health care is affordable. That's why I introduced a bill to make enhanced premium tax credits for marketplace coverage permanent to prevent cost increases for Virginians.
Pete Hegseth hid his alleged sexual misconduct, ensuing criminal investigation, and private settlement he reached with his accuser while under consideration to lead the DOD.
He knew it would hurt his chances.
How can he be trusted to be honest with the President and public?
GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!
