This Black History Month, we celebrate the connection between labor unions and the civil rights movements. That is because these movements share the same core value: earning a fair living wage and being able to care for yourself and your family is a fundamental civil right. youtu.be/3dHByMBVeq0

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

I’m closely monitoring the situation at DCA that occurred this evening involving a collision between a passenger airplane and a military helicopter. I’m thankful for our first responders on the scene. My thoughts and prayers are with all those involved in this horrible tragedy.

Congress has already appropriated money for education. Thankfully, for students, teachers, and schools, that money is *NOT* subject to the whims of someone offended by the facts of history.

President Trump’s funding freeze is illegal, has caused chaos and confusion, and will make it more difficult for people to access essential services they rely on. It puts programs that support healthcare, education, infrastructure, and public safety at risk.

The funding freeze by the White House could affect trillions of dollars and cause widespread disruption in health care research, education programs and other initiatives. Even grants that have been awarded but not spent are supposed to be halted.

📷 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.
