My colleagues and I have been forcing votes to stop the war against Iran—and we’re making progress. Today, our War Powers Resolution got 49 votes. My colleagues are hearing more and more from their constituents: end this costly and unnecessary war.
By a vote of 49-50, the #Senate did not agree on the motion to discharge from Foreign Relations Committee, S.J.Res.163, Merkley War Powers Resolution on Iran. GOP Sens. Collins, Murkowski and Paul voted in favor. Dem. Sen. Fetterman voted no Sen. Ricketts did not vote.
Democrats, Republicans, and Independents can all agree—Trump’s war of choice in Iran is hurting America. My colleagues and I are giving Senate Republicans yet another opportunity to do what’s right and end this war.
Scammers impersonating federal agents have been targeting Virginia families whose loved ones have been detained by ICE. Remember: No government agency will ever ask for money through gift cards or mobile payment apps. ICE does not contact members of the public through WhatsApp.

Great to visit Rappahannock Goodwill Industries in Fredericksburg today to learn about their CareerPath Accelerator, an innovative AI-enabled program to help job-seekers identify their skills and find jobs with employers. I'll keep working to pass legislation that expands access to job training.

Happy National Small Business Week! VA’s small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I’ll continue to do all I can to safeguard them from economic uncertainty. This week and every week, I encourage everyone to visit and support the small businesses in your communities.
May is Older Americans Month. Older adults deserve to age in their communities with care and dignity, and I am committed to protecting and strengthening Social Security and Medicaid to help make that possible.
Hundreds of farms can’t survive under Trump. His chaotic economic policies—including his tariffs and war against Iran, which have driven up costs and caused a fertilizer crisis—are hurting our farmers. I’ll keep doing all I can to reverse this trend.
A chart detailing the number of family farm bankruptcies from 2017 to 2025.
This National Nurses Week and every week, let’s recognize the exceptional nurses in our communities that keep us safe and healthy. From supporting their mental health to addressing health care staffing shortages, I’m going to keep doing all I can to stand with our healers.
It was great to join leadership and staff from the Northern Neck-Middlesex Free Health Clinic today to tour their facility, discuss challenges they’re facing after Medicaid cuts, and learn more about how they will use $1 million in funding I secured to expand access to dental services.

On National Teachers' Day, we celebrate the contributions educators make in classrooms across the nation as they shape the minds of the next generation. I’ve introduced a bill to improve educators’ access to mental health resources, and will keep working to support our teachers.
