The Executive Order on mail-in voting is unconstitutional and will be overturned. Donald Trump is, once again, engaging in voter suppression, even after he voted by mail himself in the recent Special Election in Florida.
President Trump signed a sweeping executive order that purports to change rules for mail ballots even though the president has limited authority over elections. Elections experts called the order legally questionable.
At the Sister To Sister 23rd Annual Tribute to the Black Woman event, I presented my entry in the Congressional Record for Sister Hakima Muhammad in recognition of the organization’s 30th Anniversary
ED leaving the Lyndon B. Johnson headquarters building does not cut bureaucracy — it rearranges it.     This decision reflects a broader effort to reduce the federal government’s role in ensuring people have equal access to a quality education. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Reginald Weaver was a pioneer for collective bargaining and an advocate for teachers, students and their communities. His dedication to fairness, equality and education shaped the lives of countless educators and students, and his impact will be felt for years. www.nprillinois.org/education-de...
I had a great time stopping by the East End Civic Association Quarterly Empower U. Town Hall this evening in Newport News, where residents were encouraged to engage city leaders in a direct and thoughtful discussion about community issues
In the wide ranging discussion, I shared my views on several topics that were relevant to the largely student audience, including my no vote on the reckless war in Iran, making concrete reforms to ICE and ensuring that higher education is more accessible, affordable and fair
This afternoon on the campus of CNU, I had the pleasure of participating in a Conversation with the Honorable William C. Mims, a former member of the Virginia General Assembly, former Virginia Supreme Court Justice and presently the Pre-Law Program Director at CNU
16 years ago, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. Millions gained coverage, and people with pre-existing conditions are now protected. I held a roundtable on the GOP’s Big, Ugly Bill and their refusal to extend ACA tax credits. Virginians need healthcare, not warfare.
Donald Trump is making it clear that he is the one preventing TSA from being funded, and is responsible for TSA workers being forced to work without pay.
Trump now suggests Republicans refuse “any deal” to reopen DHS unless Dems help pass SAVE America Act (never going to happen). He wants it all in one bill (also not in the cards). He tells Rs to “kill the filibuster” (they don’t have the votes; otherwise both would pass easily).
Last evening, I attended the ForKids Annual Art event, which generated proceeds to support their mission of providing emergency shelter, housing assistance and rehousing services to families in the Hampton Roads region
I was honored to congratulate members of the Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School Class of 2025 during today’s Commencement These graduates completed thousands of hours of on-the-job training and trade coursework, which will assist them in becoming skilled shipbuilders
I enjoyed being in attendance last evening as Paul Hirschbiel, Akhil Jain, T. Richard Litton, Jr., and Ray Wittersheim were inducted as the 2026 Class of the Hampton Roads Business Hall of Fame, for their outstanding contributions on behalf of students in this community
When workers come together to bargain, they earn higher wages, better benefits and safer workplaces. And veterans benefit from a VA staffed by workers who are well-compensated, properly trained and who work in a safe environment
