When a senior officer sworn to defend the Constitution sacrifices his career rather than continue the mission, it is an undeniable sign of a chain of command in crisis. (7/8)

Let there be no confusion: this is about the President pushing the limits of his power, not stopping drugs. If it were, we wouldn’t have an Admiral quitting the job.
Admiral Holsey appears to have chosen conscience over complicity. (6/8)
That’s not how this works. The President cannot unilaterally decide to go to war, and military officers know this.
The American people also don’t want a war with only 18% of Americans supporting the use of military force to overthrow Maduro. (5/8)
Since September 2, President Trump has ordered at least six known strikes on Venezuelan boats allegedly smuggling drugs.
He claims the authority to unilaterally label individuals “unlawful combatants” and strike without congressional authorization. (4/8)
As an Army vet and military lawyer, I spent my military career upholding the Constitution and advising commanders like Admiral Holsey on the use of force.
Here’s why I think he was right to raise concerns and the President’s actions are illegal. (3/8)
The abrupt departure of Admiral Holsey after less than a year into a three-year job suggests something is SERIOUSLY rotten in Trump’s Venezuela policy — not to mention the NY Times reported that the Admiral raised concerns about “the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats.” (2/8)
No one wants to stop drugs from entering our country more than I do. But launching unauthorized military strikes isn’t how you do it.
You can’t go to war with Venezuela without authorization from Congress.
As an Army JAG, here’s why the President's actions are dangerous. (1/8)
We’re just six days away from Election Day in Virginia!
Visit elections.virginia.gov to find your polling place. Polls are open from 6 am – 7 pm.
I hope that you’ll make your voice heard.
Thinking of those in Jamaica and the Caribbean as Hurricane Melissa makes landfall.
Wishing safety and strength to everyone in the storm's path. Virginia is home to tens of thousands of Jamaican Americans, and my office is here to assist constituents impacted.
13,000 air traffic controllers won’t get a paycheck today... but Members of Congress continue to draw full salaries.
That's why I’ve deferred my pay until the government shutdown ends. If our federal employees, troops, and contractors aren’t getting paid, neither should Washington lawmakers.
Rebekah — a single mom from my district — shared how being furloughed has created financial stress as she tries to care for her family.
No parent should have to carry that burden as a result of lawmakers' refusal to come to the negotiating table.
Today is National First Responder Day!
I appreciate all the firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, law enforcement officers, 911 dispatchers, and additional first responders who keep Virginians safe and healthy.
Thank you for your service to our communities.
As a dad of two, I know firsthand how important a father’s involvement during pregnancy and the postpartum period can be.
That’s why I’m introducing a bipartisan, bicameral bill with Rep. Ciscomani to recognize and strengthen their involvement in perinatal care.
As cyber threats grow, the Trump administration is firing the very people who protect us.
Laying off essential cybersecurity workers during a shutdown is reckless and dangerous — and that’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding answers from DHS.

Seven years ago, 11 innocent people were killed and six others were injured in the deadliest antisemitic attack in our nation’s history.
Today, we remember the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting and renew our fight against the scourges of antisemitism and gun violence.
Federal workers, contractors, and service members are not political pawns, yet the Trump administration continues to treat them as such.
These are hardworking people with families to feed, mortgages to pay, and kids to raise — not pieces on Republicans' chess board.
It was a pleasure to meet with the leadership of Inova’s Juniper Program this week in Prince William County.
We discussed challenges posed by recent Republican health care cuts and the upcoming opening of their new Health Center in Woodbridge, which will expand access to care across the region.
On Wednesday, my team enjoyed visiting Forest Camp at Prince William Forest Park.
This camp gives kids the opportunity to deepen their connection with nature and spark curiosity about the environment around them.
What an inspiring program for Virginia students!
