Thrilled to see Jefferson Lab break ground on their new High Performance Data Facility in Newport News. I was glad to help secure federal funding for the project, which will support scientific discoveries and reaffirm Virginia's role as a national tech leader.

Happy Loving Day! 59 years ago, Virginia couple Mildred and Richard Loving won a landmark Supreme Court case that ended state bans on interracial marriage. Today, let’s celebrate their love, strength, and perseverance, while committing ourselves to fight against racism and discrimination.
I'm shocked but not surprised to hear that, at a time when families are worried about making ends meet, President Trump is building a giant wrestling cage in front of the partially-demolished White House to celebrate his birthday. What a perfect summary of this Administration.
Happy Women Veterans Recognition Day! Today we honor the countless women who have answered the call to serve our nation. Thank you for your bravery, dedication, and service. I will continue working to ensure that you receive the support you deserve.
A report found that 13 rural Virginia hospitals are at risk of closure—in part because of last year’s huge Medicaid cuts. For many Virginians, these hospitals are the only source of care. I will keep pushing to reverse the cuts and do more to support rural care.
A recent national survey found Americans’ confidence in the economy is the lowest it’s been in over sixty years. The reason? President Trump’s chaotic tariff policies and his illegal war in Iran.
Inflation just reached a three-year high. Gas prices are up by 41% since last year. The cost of groceries is soaring. Americans are paying the price for Trump’s illegal war in Iran—and it’s clearly time for Congress to come together to put a stop to it.
Every day, military spouses make sacrifices for our country. They deserve our support. That's why I joined @markwarner.bsky.social Warner in a letter to the Office of Personnel Management regarding the lack of progress in improving the retention of federal employees who are military spouses.
Today is the Equal Pay Act's 63rd birthday. Signed by JFK, it was meant to ensure equal pay for all. But last year, women in VA still earned about 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. I am committed to passing the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the wage gap.
Senator Murray, Senator Warnock, and I led 26 of our colleagues in a letter pressing the Administration on the impacts foreign aid cuts and the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO have had on our ability to protect Americans from Ebola, hantavirus, and other public health threats.
The success of future generations and our economy depend on America’s teachers. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill alongside @repjahanahayes.bsky.social to provide funding for school districts to enhance or establish mentoring and induction programs for new educators. Let's break it down:
To celebrate America 250, Virginians have the opportunity to submit photos for a Congressional Time Capsule that will be opened in 2276. Submit your best photos that show what makes Virginia special by this Friday: ciosenus.app.box.com/f/b5f2d1e01f...
Secretary Hegseth is blocking the promotions of senior military officers for no reason. These patriotic Americans have earned their promotions based on merit, and Hegseth is standing in the way.
Happy National Trails Day!
On the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day, we honor the brave servicemembers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Their legacy continues to live on, and we must never forget the sacrifices these heroes made in defense of our freedom and freedom around the world.
America's public lands—including the incredible Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—belong to all of us. But now the Trump-Vance Administration is auctioning it off to their Big Oil cronies that already have plenty of other areas to drill.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social after Senate Republicans passed their $70 billion partisan spending bill:
Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. While I’m glad we’ve made progress by passing gun safety legislation, we must keep working to keep our communities safe and prevent needless tragedies. I’ll keep pushing for my Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act to become law.
This amendment was blocked. Instead of helping Americans grapple with sky-high housing costs, Republicans want to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to immigration agencies—that are already funded at historic levels—to send more masked ICE agents to terrorize our communities.
Today, the Senate is voting on Republicans’ attempt to ram through funding for ICE and CBP without critical reforms. My Democratic colleagues and I are forcing votes on amendments to tackle the affordability crisis and hold the Trump-Vance Administration accountable.
