It’s Infertility Awareness Week. According to @who.int, 1 in 6 people struggle with infertility worldwide. But access to fertility treatments is threatened by extremists. Congress must act to protect access to fertility treatments like IVF.

My statement on reports that the Trump-Vance Administration may send Afghans, including those who served with the U.S. military and more than 400 children, to the Congo:
![Our Afghan allies provided critical support to U.S. forces for over 20 years, but the Trump-Vance Administration has turned its back on them and their families, shutting down key resettlement programs. The idea that we’re now in talks to send as many as 1,100 Afghans, whom we have already evacuated, to the DRC—a country with severe political instability, violence, and a massive refugee and humanitarian crisis—is insane. [1/2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did%3Aplc%3Agyl2gdob6lyckqwi5dwaehef/bafkreic677r4s3t47cwrptr5qw2wezcyjb6e5g7a4whbr24evslwthyyre@jpeg)
![We told these Afghans that we would help ensure their safety after they helped us. We have an obligation to follow through on our promise because it’s the right thing to do, and because going back on our word will only make it harder for us to build the kinds of partnerships we may need to advance our national security in the future.

The Trump Administration’s efforts to interfere with the election process are a grave warning of what’s to come. I urge all Americans to know their rights and make their voices heard. That’s how we defeat tyranny.

The recent trades predicting U.S. military action minutes before it occurred are alarming and raise questions about who exactly is profiting from a war that has already resulted in untold death and destruction. We need answers.

Economist and anti-corruption advocate Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, who has ties to Virginia, has been unjustly detained in Azerbaijan for 1,000 days. No one should be imprisoned for speaking out against corruption. Azerbaijan must uphold human rights and due process.
For all Trump cares, gas could be $100 a gallon. Skyrocketing fuel prices don’t affect him. But that’s not reality for the vast majority of Americans. We need to bring down costs ASAP.
Tuesday night, I was honored to receive the Military Officers
Association of America’s Marix Award for my efforts on the Military Spouse Hiring Act. I’ll keep working to get this bipartisan bill across the finish line and continue doing all I can to support our incredible military families.
My statement on the 19th anniversary of the Virginia Tech shooting:
The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233.
@markwarner.bsky.social and I are keeping Cerina and Justin Fairfax’s family—especially their 2 children—in our prayers as we all process this shocking and horrifying news. We urge any Virginians impacted by domestic violence to call the police or the National Domestic Violence Hotline for support.
Today, USS Gerald R. Ford broke the record for the longest modern carrier deployment. Our sailors should be home with their families, not sent around the world by a President who acts like the military is his palace guard. I’m doing all I can to end the war against Iran.

It’s been 47 days since Trump attacked Iran. Since then, servicemembers have died, thousands of civilians have died, and Americans are struggling with rising gas prices. My colleagues and I are forcing a vote to bring an end to the chaos.

I’m excited to see more love for Virginia’s incredible Main Streets! Main Street America’s recognition of Downtown Wytheville as a 2026 Great American Main Street Award winner is well-earned.

Happy Vaisakhi to all celebrating in Virginia and across the world! May today bring prosperity and joy to all.
Tonight, the Jewish community marks Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. I am reflecting on the resilience of the Jewish people who had the courage to continue practicing their faith in the face of evil. We all must continue working to prevent antisemitism at home and abroad.
On National Submarine Day, we honor the servicemembers beneath the waves who keep us safe and the shipbuilders who make their work possible. I am grateful for VA’s leadership building our Navy’s submarines and will always support our undersea capabilities. Y’all make VA proud!
58 years ago today, President Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act into law. As a former fair housing attorney, I’m committed to building on that progress by fighting to make sure everyone, including veterans and low-income families, is protected against housing discrimination.
On World Parkinson’s Day, I’m reflecting on the struggles of individuals and families who’ve grappled with a diagnosis. I’m glad a bill I cosponsored to create and update a national plan to address Parkinson’s and related conditions is now law. Let's end Parkinson’s for good.
Trump’s war of choice and mishandling of the economy are coming to a head—and American families are paying the price. Trump needs to get a handle on rising inflation.
