As 2025 winds to a close, Congress took a step forward to improve quality of life for our servicemembers, but failed to address the looming health care crisis facing 22 million Americans.
Keep watching for some highlights.

Trump won in 2024 by promising affordability. Now, he mocks the concept as a Democratic con job.
The data proves him wrong. Costs keep rising, and families struggle to keep up.
Today, the @cbc.house.gov stands 62 members strong. We stand on the shoulders of Joseph Rainey, who became the first Black man to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives on this date 155 years ago.
Congratulations, Akash Arun Kumar Soumya for winning the Congressional App Challenge for Virginia’s 4th!
Akash designed ElderLink AR, an app that uses AI for wellness guidance for seniors and real-time exercise feedback. His project bridges mental and physical health for aging adults — way to go!
Impeachment requires a thorough investigation that takes the abuses of power in this office seriously. With Jim Jordan and the Republican majority in charge, I don’t trust them to do that in an unbiased and fair way.
Today, I voted present on the motion to table the resolution to impeach Trump.
Congress should serve as a check and balance on the White House — not an enabler. Yet Republicans have neglected their duty to conduct oversight on the Trump Administration.
As the Trump Administration decimates the Department of Energy workforce, House Republicans want to overload remaining workers with burdensome busywork that does nothing to support America’s electric supply chain.
I urged my colleagues on the House floor to vote no on the Electric Supply Chain Act.
I’ll continue to work with HASC and House Democrats to uplift service members and keep attention on the issues that matter to the American people, not culture wars.
I commend @democrats-armedservices.house.gov for their steadfast work to counter actions taken by the Trump Administration that consistently undermine our national security.
But despite its shortcomings, the FY26 NDAA goes a long way to meet the quality of life needs of our service members and families, supports our nation’s military readiness and reasserts some Congressional oversight responsibility over the Department of Defense.
I also share the concerns raised by the families of Flight 5342 and the National Transportation Safety Board regarding safety in the airspace around Reagan National Airport. I will continue working to address these deficiencies in the FY27 NDAA.
I vehemently oppose their efforts to undermine Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives and the work of the Naming Commission; exclude hard-won provisions for collective bargaining rights for civilian employees and funding for IVF; and target transgender athletes at military academies.
Unfortunately, the Trump Administration and Speaker Johnson continued their efforts to politicize this bill to stoke culture wars.
The FY26 NDAA was no exception.
It bolsters our positioning as a leader on the global stage, supports our allies in countries like Ukraine, includes tens of millions in funding for scientific research at HBCUs and more. These positive changes will be felt across every sector of our nation.
The FY26 NDAA makes marked improvements in pay, infrastructure and quality of life for our service members, their families and the service community.
While the FY26 NDAA is not a perfect bill and contains provisions I oppose, it stands as one of the few instances in this Congress of an ongoing bipartisan, bicameral negotiation process based in cooperation and compromise.
I voted yes. Here’s why. 🧵
Reproductive freedom remains a human rights issue — but reproductive health care has fallen further and further out of reach for millions.
This #HumanRightsDay, I joined @repnikema.bsky.social and our Democratic colleagues to announce our resolution affirming reproductive freedom as a human right.
Republicans prioritized tax credits for the wealthiest few above the needs of the American people. Now, millions stand to lose access to their health insurance.
I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour on the consequences this crisis will have for families in Virginia’s Fourth and beyond.
Today, we remember the lives lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago.
Only 12 survivors remain, and it falls to us to keep their memories alive.
