Happy Easter, everyone! I’m excited to celebrate at my home Parish and hope everyone observing in Virginia and around the world has a joyous, special day with their loved ones.

It's the 77th anniversary of NATO—a key alliance that keeps America safe. Even if Trump tries, he can't back out of it, thanks to my bipartisan legislation that was signed into law to prevent any U.S. President from unilaterally withdrawing without approval from Congress.
Virginians have paid $254 million more at the pump because of Trump’s war of choice in Iran. Working families were already struggling with the rising cost-of-living. Many can’t afford this. I’ll keep doing all I can to end this unnecessary war and lower costs.
In the first six months of Trump’s 2nd term, the DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases—including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, fraud, and drug trafficking. How does that make us more safe?

Today, I had a great conversation with members of the Virginia delegation at the inaugural Virginia Defense Forum. We talked about working together to boost our alliances and military readiness, grow our industrial base, and support servicemembers and military installations.
Today, I visited Foodbank of SE VA and the Eastern Shore to celebrate federal funding I secured for its new facility. I also had a productive discussion with leaders in the region working to address food insecurity. It's clear we still have more to do, especially after the GOP slashed SNAP benefits.
One year ago today, Trump declared he was imposing his illegal “Liberation Day” tariffs. And one year later, things aren’t any cheaper—in fact, experts estimate Trump’s tariffs cost families an average of $1,000 last year.
As Passover begins, I’m wishing everyone gathering for a Seder in Virginia and around the world a meaningful holiday. Chag Pesach Sameach!
Today, I joined local pharmacists and community health partners in Williamsburg to talk about the pressures facing independent community pharmacies and how that’s affecting access to medication for folks in the region. I’ll keep working to support frontline health care providers.
Last night, I was honored to give the annual Heinemann Lecture in Southern History at Hampden-Sydney College and share reflections on Virginia's seal. Since 1776, our seal has been a powerful reminder of the need to remain committed to rejecting tyranny. Sic semper tyrannis!
As Americans struggle with high energy costs, the Trump Administration is delaying at least 30 wind farms —projects that would produce enough energy to power several cities and help lower costs. Ridiculous.

This is a meaningful week for Jews and Christians alike. As we prepare for Passover and Easter, I am wishing for a time of joy, renewal, and reflection for all observing.
Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. To the trans community in Virginia and across the country: you deserve to live free from bigotry, often directed towards you based on cynical politics. I’ve got your back.
Our Constitution is clear—no matter who your parents are or where they are from, if you are born here, you are an American. Citing white supremacists in an effort to overturn birthright citizenship tells you everything you need to know. I hope SCOTUS will reject this bid.
Trump’s war against Iran is hitting the economy hard—and Americans have noticed.

Happy birthday, @wmata.com! A thriving public transit system is the lifeblood of our nation’s capital and entire metro area. I was proud to help extend the Silver Line, connecting customers to six new stations, including Dulles Airport. Here’s to another 50 years!
Virginians want lower prices. But Trump’s chaotic war is driving up all kinds of costs, from gas and airline tickets, to package deliveries.

My statement on Senate Republicans relenting and agreeing to fund the TSA, CISA, Coast Guard, and other entities within the DHS, while negotiations regarding Border Patrol and ICE continue:
Democrats have a solution to fund TSA and other critical DHS agencies—which would fix the chaos at airports. But instead of coming to the table, Trump deployed ICE agents to major airports. This solves nothing.

Americans deserve a government focused on making their lives better—not getting rich or padding the pockets of the well-connected. These trades raise serious questions.
