Federal employees, contractors, and service members aren't getting their paychecks. It’s unacceptable that Members of Congress continue to collect theirs.
That's why I directed the U.S. House to withhold my paycheck during this shutdown. Congress must play by the same rules as everyone else.

Protecting Americans from foreign scammers is essential to U.S. national security.
That’s why I’m leading an effort with Rep. Jim Baird to establish a joint task force to investigate, disrupt, and protect Americans from international cybercrimes.
Longest government shutdown in history and longest wait for an elected Representative to be sworn into Congress. House GOP, what ridiculous record will you set next?
Nancy Pelosi has inspired generations through her commitment to working families and her historic service as the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House.
Her tenacity and vision have shaped our nation for the better — and she will be remembered as one of America’s most consequential leaders.
I joined the House Veterans Affairs Committee today for a roundtable on veterans’ benefits, where I highlighted the unbearable wait times and staffing crisis at the Fredericksburg Health Care Center in my district.
Our veterans deserve timely, high-quality care — and this facility is falling short.
42 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families.
Heather, a mom from Prince William, is one of them.
Without SNAP, she won't be able to provide her two children the balanced meals they need to grow and stay healthy.
No family should go hungry in America.

Cindy and I are praying for those impacted by last night’s crash of UPS Flight 2976 in Louisville.
I will continue to monitor the situation as this tragedy unfolds. Thank you to all the first responders working around the clock.
Big congratulations to my friend and predecessor Abigail Spanberger on her victory tonight!
Abigail’s leadership and integrity have always served Virginians well — and I look forward to partnering with her to lower costs, invest in our schools, and keep our communities safe.
Polls close in ONE HOUR, Virginia!
Our democracy is strongest when we all show up — when every voice and every vote is counted.
If you're already in line to vote, stay in line.
The courts have directed Trump to fully fund SNAP benefits so more than 42 million people can put food on the table.
POTUS has refused this order.
Cruel doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’m fighting to make sure that every American receives the benefits they rely on.

It was an honor to attend the 4th Annual Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office Veterans Day celebration.
As a 25-year Army vet, I know how much you've sacrificed for our country. I will work every day to be sure America lives up to the promise of taking care of our soldiers once they return home.

Last night, I was honored to attend the Manpower and Reserve Affairs Marine Corps Ball with General David Berger and Sgt. Dakota Meyer to celebrate 250 years of the Marines.
I’m deeply grateful for the service and sacrifice of every Marine who has defended our nation.
Q: What’s one thing that we all can agree on?
A: Spotted lanternflies are the worst.
This invasive pest has now reached 19 states and DC, threatening our vineyards, orchards, and farms.
That’s why I’m leading bipartisan legislation with a simple message: If you see it, squish it.
