An extreme wave of heat and humidity has swept over Richmond and much of central Virginia. It has no intention of leaving anytime soon.
Stay hydrated, find cooling centers in the area, and know the signs of heat-related illness.

A lot has happened in Washington, back in the district and abroad in the last two weeks!
Catch up with my latest newsletter below ⬇️
I urge the Administration to pursue every available diplomatic channel to deescalate this crisis, prevent further bloodshed and achieve a lasting and durable solution to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Unfortunately, the President abandoned the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreement successfully negotiated by the Obama-Biden Administration, without any clear alternatives in mind to avoid the current crisis that we find ourselves in at this moment.
While we remain firm in our commitment to preventing a nuclear armed Iran, using force that at best delays nuclear weapons development by a few years will not bring long-term success. Only robust diplomatic action has ever successfully contained Iran’s nuclear ambitions in a meaningful way.
I urge the Administration to brief all members in Congress on the intelligence that compelled these strikes, the effectiveness of the strikes, the plans for what comes next, and the actions the Administration is taking to protect servicemembers and potential domestic targets from Iranian reprisals.
The American people deserve transparency and accountability when it comes to decisions that could cost American lives.
Escalating tensions through force without a coordinated diplomatic effort dangerously undermines our national security and the safety of our allies, and puts our over 40,000 servicemembers stationed throughout the Middle East within reach of Iranian missiles and drones at risk.
President Trump’s decision to launch air strikes on Iran without Congressional consultation or approval absent an imminent threat to the United States risks triggering a broader regional war that drags us deeper into an avoidable conflict with no clear strategy.
The House spent a week in recess after passing a bill to codify cuts to federal funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid requested by President Trump as tensions flared at home and in the Middle East.
Who am I fighting for? People like Katina Moss — a Richmond caretaker covered by Medicaid expansion whose health care would be impacted under the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill.
My constituent Ben Bumgarner has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Without Medicaid, he would not have received gene transfer therapy at @childrensatvcu.bsky.social, and his mother could not care for him at home.
I’m fighting to ensure the Bumgarner family does not lose their health care.
The American people want their leaders to bring down the cost of living. Instead, House Republicans and the Trump Administration prioritized cancelling funding for AIDS prevention and public broadcasting.
I joined @newdems.bsky.social against Trump’s rescissions bill.
The Trump Administration ignores the Constitution it is supposed to preserve, protect and defend.
Now, it seeks to intimidate, assault and arrest members of Congress like @replamonica.bsky.social and @padilla.senate.gov as they exercise their constitutional oversight duties.
“Tell the Court I love my wife and it is just unfair that I can’t live with her in Virginia.”
That was from Richard Loving, who was arrested with his wife Mildred for violating Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage.
OTD in 1967, SCOTUS struck down that law in Loving v. Virginia.

Watch my full questioning here:
I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, @whipkclark.bsky.social and @amyklobuchar.com to highlight how the Big Ugly Bill is a Big Betrayal of women.
Stripping health insurance, restricting abortion coverage purchasing out of health exchanges and defunding Planned Parenthood harms women’s health.
The charges against @replamonica.bsky.social seek to intimidate members of Congress conducting their oversight duties to hold the Trump Administration accountable as it tramples people’s constitutional rights.
Watch my full questioning here:
In addition to concerns about the Department of Energy’s FY26 budget request, my office has consistently heard from Virginians concerned about workforce cuts, grant funding freezes and lack of communication from DOE.
I raised these concerns with Energy Secretary Chris Wright and demanded answers.
