On Purple Heart Day, we honor and remember the countless servicemembers who sustained injuries or made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation. Today, I'm reflecting on their brave service and thinking of their families.

The American people want Congress to focus on lowering costs and ending unnecessary wars. Not obsessing over the pandemic and smearing Dr. Fauci—who devoted 50+ years to public service under Presidents of both parties—with unproven conspiracies.
Last year’s Republican budget megabill is devastating rural Virginia. Twelve clinics and hospital services have closed since it passed all in rural communities that can least afford to lose care. This is what happens when your rural health care is gutted to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
I had a great visit to USS Gerald R. Ford today with @markwarner.bsky.social er to thank its sailors for their service during a historic deployment, and the shipbuilders working to maintain the ship. The professionalism and dedication I saw today are why the U.S. Navy is the best in the world.
Today, I joined @markwarner.bsky.social and state and local leaders to celebrate NASA Langley's new Flight Dynamics Research Facility in Hampton to boost America’s flight and space capabilities. Proud of Virginians’ cutting-edge work!
The Trump-Vance Administration wants performative war in the worst possible way—focusing on optics and flashy videos instead of doing the hard work to keep Americans safe. It's juvenile, embarrassing, and would be comical if it weren't so tragic.
Every kid deserves a high-quality education. But Trump and Secretary McMahon want to dismantle the Department of Education and hand really important services, like special ed programs, to RFK Jr.'s HHS. Our kids, especially those with special needs, deserve better.
Trump would rather keep this key position vacant than allow the DOJ to confirm in writing what the American people overwhelmingly believe: the President shouldn’t be above the law, and we shouldn’t have a $1.8 billion slush fund for those who attacked police officers on Jan. 6.
18 troops have died in the Trump-Vance Administration’s unnecessary, illegal war with Iran. Families have met flag-draped caskets at Dover, only to learn the Administration wants to reclassify those combat deaths to hide the true cost of war. Shameful.
Some good news: the Virginia Advanced Pharma Manufacturing Cluster is receiving $16 million in federal funding. I helped lay the foundation for this hub when I was Mayor of Richmond to boost low-cost, American-made pharmaceuticals and good jobs in Virginia.
On National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, we honor the courage and sacrifice of the servicemembers who fought in the Korean War. Today, let’s recommit ourselves to the values they fought to defend, including democracy around the world.
What I thought about during the dignified transfer ceremony when our brave fallen soldiers came home is: Why? Why was this necessary? Five months of war and President Trump STILL can’t answer that question.
Today the INSULIN Act—bipartisan legislation I'm proud to cosponsor—cleared the HELP Committee. It caps insulin at $35/month for privately insured Americans. Now let's get it to the Senate floor and over to the House.
Good news – Virginia just ranked #3 in the nation for business. Even in the face of reckless tariffs, DOGE cuts to our federal workforce, and foolish war with Iran, Virginia stays resilient.
If you're going to order our troops into war, you'd better have a damn good reason. Three servicemembers come home to Dover tomorrow. Their families will ask why. President Trump has no answer.
103 years ago, the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced to guarantee equality under the law regardless of sex. In 2020, Virginia became the 38th and final state to approve it. Congress must vote to remove the time limit for ratification so the ERA can finally become the 28th Amendment.
My heart breaks for the families of the servicemembers we lost in Jordan and Iraq this weekend. The Trump-Vance Administration must end its foolish, unauthorized war in Iran that is putting our troops in harm’s way.
@markwarner.bsky.social and I were proud to welcome Virginia's Scouts and their families to D.C. last week to celebrate their many achievements. As a former Boy Scout, it was great to congratulate these future leaders on their hard work and dedication
Gas prices are up about 30% since Trump's foolish and illegal war began — costing Americans $56.4 billion more at the pump, or $477 per household on average. These are the top 6 states with the highest increases:
Sebastian Durán Guerrero was going to work to support his partner and 3-year-old. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving to work with his brother. ICE shot and killed both men. We need thorough investigations and accountability for these tragedies.
