Happy birthday to my longtime friend @markwarner.bsky.social! I'm proud to serve alongside you in the Senate and I look forward to continue working together to serve Virginians.
I’m excited to attend this year’s Army-Navy Game! Today, we come together to celebrate one of the best rivalries in college sports. This will be a great game!
Two years ago today, President Biden signed the landmark Respect for Marriage Act, recognizing marriage equality. I’m proud to have voted for this legislation and will always fight to protect Americans’ freedom to marry the person they love.
Great news! The Stop Campus Hazing Act that I cosponsored to protect students from hazing on college campuses has been passed by Congress and is heading to President Biden's desk to be signed into law. I'll keep working to support our students.
Happy 388th birthday to the U.S. National Guard! The tradition of service as a citizen-soldier has enabled prosperity and security for every generation of Americans. As an Armed Services Committee member, I will continue to support our Guardsmen and their families.
High-speed internet is a necessity. I’m excited more federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—which I helped pass—is heading to the Commonwealth to close the digital divide and help ensure Virginians have access to reliable internet no matter where they live.
I’ve seen the heartbreaking impacts of Alzheimer’s disease firsthand, which is why I’m proud my bipartisan BOLD Reauthorization Act is now law. This legislation will benefit millions of Americans with Alzheimer’s by supporting public health initiatives that combat the disease.
I’m honored to share that Secretary of the Navy Del Toro has awarded me the Department of the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award for my work on the Armed Services Committee and advocacy for our Sailors and Marines. I remain committed to supporting our servicemembers now and in the future.
I’m glad a group of bipartisan legislators are tackling the child care issue in Virginia. I will keep doing all that I can on the federal level—including by pushing to pass my bipartisan bills with Senator Katie Britt to make child care more affordable. richmond.com/news/state-r...
The lack of safe working conditions for journalists in Gaza obstructs an accurate understanding of the crisis.
That’s why I wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, calling on the Administration to help protect press freedom and support journalists in Gaza covering the conflict.
Great news for Virginia: Micron was selected to receive federal funding from bipartisan legislation we passed to expand its chips manufacturing facility in Manassas. This will allow us to make more chips at home, support jobs, and strengthen our supply chains.
Wintergreen residents have only one road for entry and exit, which poses major safety risks in the event of an emergency. That’s why I introduced a bill that would pave the way for the construction of an emergency exit road, enhancing public safety.

I’ve talked with Virginians in SW and toured the damage caused by Helene. It’s clear our communities were hit hard.
That’s why I’ve advocated for Congress to pass a relief package that supports a full recovery for VA residents, businesses, and public lands. Let’s get it done.
83 years ago, the attack on Pearl Harbor shook our nation. We must honor the men and women who served during WWII, and protect the world they bravely fought to create. The partnerships and alliances that they enabled are critical to our national security and must be preserved and strengthened.
TOMORROW is the last day of Medicare open enrollment. Visit medicare.gov to compare your coverage options. Virginians can contact their local VICAP counselor to receive free, confidential support navigating plan options: t.co/PRZwpwqnIF
Lead-based paint has been banned for decades, but millions in older homes are still at risk. It’s time to change that, which is why I'm glad over $1.4 million in federal funding is coming to Virginia to address this hazard—building on $11.6 million in funding I announced in Oct.
This National Miners Day, we honor our miners who for generations have risked their lives to power our nation. They deserve our full support, which is why I’m proud to have helped save their pensions and health care coverage and protect black lung benefits.
More good news for our economy: this is our 47th consecutive month of job growth—the third longest streak on record. That’s thanks in part to new good-paying jobs in manufacturing and health care. Let’s keep it up.
Prescription drug costs can add up fast. That’s why my colleagues and I tackled the issue head on by passing legislation to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices and cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 under Medicare, putting money back into their pockets.
