Americans have witnessed deeply troubling abuses of authority by ICE. Republicans failed to work with Democrats to hold ICE accountable so I'm voting NO on the FY26 DHS funding bill.

A huge win for VA: after @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, and I filed an amicus brief in court, a judge ruled that Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind will resume construction! This project will create jobs, lower costs, and cement VA as a leader in this industry.

The federal "tipped" minimum wage is $2.13 per hour. Despite millions of Americans already working for poverty wages, Republicans tried to pass a bill this week that could have made it millions more. Watch @bobbyscott.house.gov fight this bad bill. youtu.be/Vip_pnG23yE
