Day 21. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it until the government reopens.
I’m ready and willing to support a budget that protects health care, invests in our public schools, and lowers costs for working families.

Today is International Day of the Air Traffic Controller.
Right now, our air traffic controllers are working with no pay because of the Republican shutdown.
Speaker Johnson, let’s work together to reopen the government and get paychecks to those who keep our skies safe.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
In Congress, I am committed to standing with survivors by strengthening protections, expanding resources, and holding abusers accountable.
Republicans’ shutdown is putting America’s public health at risk:
🚨CDC has furloughed 64% of its staff
🚨NIH has furloughed 75%
🚨HHS has furloughed 41%
...and that is not even counting all those laid off by the Trump admin.
Wishing a very happy #Diwali to everyone celebrating across Virginia’s Seventh District and around the world!
May the Festival of Lights bring joy, peace, and prosperity to you and your loved ones. 🪔✨
If you or someone you love is a federal worker, service member, contractor, or otherwise impacted by the government shutdown, please visit vindman.house.gov/resources-for-federal-workers for resources.
My team is here to support you.
Did you know that Members of Congress continue to draw full paychecks during government shutdowns?
It’s plain wrong.
That's why I have directed that my paycheck be withheld until the shutdown ends.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. This month, join me in raising awareness, supporting those affected, and in fighting for a cure.🩷🎗️
Trump and his rubber-stamp Republicans have chosen to hurt Virginia families instead of working across the aisle to reopen the government.
It’s past time they come to the table so we can find real solutions and deliver for the people we serve.

Congratulations to Madison County High School for being selected as one of the Top 25 schools nationwide — and the only school in Virginia — in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights competition.
Vote for them to win it all at www.t-mobile.com/brand/friday-night-5g-lights/j.
House Republicans have been AWOL for one month.
...and Speaker Johnson just cancelled votes. Again.
This is getting ridiculous.
Day 17 of the government shutdown. It’s time for Republicans to get back to Washington and work with Democrats to reopen the government.
Last night, I was honored to attend the John D. Jenkins Good Scout Award Dinner in Woodbridge.
It was great to celebrate community members who embody the values of the Boy Scouts and champion the local leaders of tomorrow.
Thank you for all you contribute to our neighborhoods.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been furloughed as a result of Republicans' reckless shutdown.
But don't just take my word for it — look at the numbers.
It’s time my colleagues agree to work across the aisle to reopen the government and get people back to work.
On day 16 of the government shutdown, I’m answering the question everyone's been asking: When will it end?
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are ready to get back to work and pass a bipartisan budget. Republicans just need to agree to protect the people they serve.
Did you know that Virginia is one of the leading states in student loan debt?
In Congress, I’m committed to increasing access to affordable higher education so students can pursue their dreams without being burdened by decades of debt.
While Capitol Police go without pay, Members of Congress continue to draw full salaries. That’s unacceptable.
That’s why I introduced a bipartisan bill that would withhold congressional pay during government shutdowns.
If those who keep us safe aren't getting paid, neither should Congress.
This #WorldFoodDay, I’m thinking of the farmers and producers across Virginia’s Seventh District who work every day to feed our communities.
As the only Virginian on the House Agriculture Committee, I’ll keep fighting for a stronger, fairer food system that supports them — from field to table.
Day 14 of the government shutdown and there's nothing but crickets on Capitol Hill.
@HouseGOP, come back so we can put an end to this eerie silence.
