Trump’s efforts to freeze federal spending authorized by Congress will not only wreak havoc on federal agencies, state and local governments and communities, but is patently illegal.
House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member @rep-rosa-delauro.bsky.social & Senate Appropriations Committee Vice Chair @murray.senate.gov wrote to the Acting OMB Director condemning President Trump's unlawful Executive Orders & memoranda by OMB directing agencies to withhold federal funding.
In 2020, Virginia became the 38th and final state needed to ratify the ERA. I was proud to help lead the fight to enshrine women’s equality in the U.S. Constitution. Tonight, I celebrated with some of the amazing @voteequalityus.bsky.social activists who helped make it happen.

This week, I’m in the district checking in with local government leaders on our shared priorities for our constituents. Today, I visited with leaders from Brunswick, Emporia, Greensville, Southampton, Surrey, and Sussex.

The past two weeks saw the peaceful transition of power from the Biden-Harris Administration to the Trump-Vance Administration on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. While Trump unleashed chaos, I focused on community. Read what you missed below ⬇️
This International Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, one of the most infamous concentration camps of the Holocaust. Today, we remember the millions of people murdered by Nazis in one of the greatest atrocities to ever occur.

On the 12th anniversary of Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta lifting the ban on women in combat, the U.S. Senate confirmed a man who says that never should have happened to be the next Secretary of Defense. Read my full statement on Pete Hegseth’s confirmation. ⬇️
📷 VA Medical Centers across the Commonwealth are suffering because President Trump is forcing them to rescind job offers to essential staff. I led my Virginia Democratic House colleagues in a letter calling on the Trump-Vance Administration to revise or revoke its federal hiring freeze.

Today, I voted against the House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act. This bill inserts Washington politicians into heartbreaking medical decisions that should be left to patients and their providers. Read my full statement here.
Statement graphic on the House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act. Text reads:

“It has taken House Republicans all of three weeks to renew their attacks on the reproductive freedom of families in Virginia and across the country. The House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act severely restricts medical options for patients experiencing heartbreaking and life-threatening situations and criminalizes health care providers. 

“Time and time again, the American people have rebuffed efforts to restrict reproductive freedom and interfere with medical decisions that should be left to patients and their providers, not politicians in Washington. Yet House Republicans use intentionally misleading language to conceal their unpopular agenda to insert themselves into these extremely difficult decisions and block access to comprehensive reproductive health services. 

“The House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act fabricates a problem that does not exist. Providers already have an obligation to provide appropriate medical care. Any insinuation to the contrary is both false and dangerous. I strongly oppose this bill and urge my Senate colleagues to vote against it.”
Today is #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay! As someone who nearly died in childbirth, I know what’s at stake. Black mothers are three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. This is unacceptable and entirely preventable. In Washington, I'll fight for better resources.

The 24th Amendment eliminating the poll tax became law 61 years ago today. I took my oath of office on the Bible in which Dad kept his poll tax receipt as a daily reminder of his struggle for the sacred right to vote. I will always fight to protect that sacred right.

My 25 year legal career saw tremendous change in the communications industry from wireline phones to an explosion in demand for WiFi and data. I was excited to join @energycommerce.bsky.social for my first subcommittee hearing on strengthening American leadership in wireless technology.
