I was deeply humbled to drop off federal funding for Washington County Public Schools for two new accessible playgrounds. Hearing from kids who will finally be able to play together in school was a reminder of why we do this – I will never, ever stop fighting for these projects.

Spent this afternoon touring the Bland Ministry Center Dental Clinic and meeting with local leaders… then congratulated the girls’ tennis team on winning Bland County High School’s first-ever team state championship! It’s always great to be celebrating the successes of Southwest Virginia.

Ready for Trump’s latest effort to sow doubt in our elections? He’s pulling ICE officers responsible for screening immigration applications for security threats and tasking them with screening voter data for noncitizens — despite no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting.

Great afternoon in Richlands delivering federal funding for public safety & rescue equipment. Southwest Virginia has seen some really severe flooding these past couple years — I’m determined to make sure they have the best technology available to save lives.

Had the best morning in Abingdon dropping off $750,000 for new playgrounds at the local public schools! It was wonderful to hear from the parents of disabled children about how these new sets will allow their kids to play with everyone else for the very first time.

More reports are highlighting what we’ve been hearing for weeks: Trump’s war of choice with Iran is draining critical weapons stockpiles and weakening our military readiness.

Immigration arrests are at a record high, but this administration isn’t prioritizing going after violent criminals. The share of people ICE arrests with violent criminal records is falling. The agency is increasingly targeting people with legal ties to the U.S. This is not making communities safer.

One of the best parts of my job? Stopping at the best small businesses across Virginia — today for a cheeseburger & ice cream cone at Hob-Nob in Gate City. We led the whole restaurant in a big happy birthday song for a 104-year-old resident. I love the warmth and spirit of SWVA.

Spent my afternoon in Bristol honoring the life-saving efforts of first responders during severe flooding and dropping off big federal money for new municipal vehicles! I’ll always keep working to bring tons of funding to communities in every corner of the Commonwealth.

Diesel prices are nearing record highs, up more than 50% from a year ago. That means higher costs for farmers, small businesses, truckers, and American families. Trump’s war of choice is devastating our economy – and working Americans are paying the price.

Now is not the time to roll back oversight of data centers. Americans deserve to know how these facilities will impact their communities. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation that would require data centers to be transparent about their energy and water use, emissions, and other key impacts.

Great to be in Pennington Gap talking about the $26.5 million we secured to expand a critical local sewer project. From local hospitals to wastewater concerns, I’ll never stop fighting for the needs of Lee County and all of Southwest Virginia.

For years, I’ve been pushing legislation to hold social media companies accountable for designing platforms that intentionally addict young people.

I look forward to seeing the details of this settlement. My DETOUR Act would directly halt some of the deceptive practices that led to this settlement, and not just from Meta but across all social media platforms.

Our country lost a true American original yesterday. Dolly Parton embodied the best of the American spirit — overcoming adversity, bringing people together with kindness, and carrying an unapologetic love for her country throughout her remarkable life and career.

This administration is still trying whatever they can to make it harder to vote, but we’re not backing down. Mail in voting is secure, trusted, and safe – even Trump himself uses it. We will continue working to protect it.

Instead of ending his war of choice with Iran and bringing down costs for Americans, President Trump is doubling down. Americans are paying the price for his recklessness.
- MW
Last week, Trump cut back on our military exercises with South Korea to cozy up to North Korea. This week, he’s canceling more drills because his war of choice with Iran is straining our military. Weakening our readiness and undermining our allies doesn’t make America safer.

Last year, DOGE gutted the federal workforce. Now farmers across the country are paying the price.

Trump is doing everything he can to drag us into a trade war with Canada. The courts already struck down his sweeping tariffs on one of our closest allies, but Trump won’t stop. He’s back with a new tax on everything from cars to clothes to agriculture products.
- MW
Don’t look away – this administration is still trying to stoke bogus claims of a stolen 2020 election to justify interference in the midterms. We must continue to speak up to preserve our free & fair elections.

Sputtering & spiraling under the weight of a war that’s achieving none of its goals and tanking the global economy, Donald Trump is increasingly lashing out at our allies. Under his leadership, America is more isolated and less prepared for the next generation of threats.

Millions of Americans lost their health care last year because of Trump’s cuts. That’s going to skyrocket further when his Medicaid cuts go into place next year. His policies are leaving millions sicker and poorer.

This administration is making Americans sicker with historic cyclospora and measles outbreaks… while making it harder and harder to afford basic health care.

Following this administration’s gutting of our public health system, we’ve seen skyrocketing cyclospora, salmonella, and measles cases. This administration is endangering your health while they make health insurance harder to afford than ever.

Under Trump’s leadership, the only thing worse than being America’s enemy is being our ally.

It’s worth noting that for all the rancor in Congress, we came together earlier this year to pass the ROAD to Housing Act – a deeply bipartisan step forward to address one of the most crushing affordability crises of our time. I was proud to help write it.

From Truth Social grifts and crypto scams to no-bid contracts and shady real estate deals, Trump has turned the presidency into a pay-to-play system. While the president is cashing in billions, costs for working families keep rising.

Holy crap. Donald Trump is turning his back on our allies to stand with North Korea.

Again, I would urge the president to actually sit down with the crew that just came back on the new-design USS Ford. If he did, he wouldn’t be wasting his time and your money talking about changing the "look."

I’m heartbroken to hear of a shooting early this morning on Virginia State University’s campus. I’m thinking of all who were injured and of the entire VSU community after this tragedy. It’s devastating to see another Virginia campus harmed by gun violence.

It was great to be in Norfolk earlier this week and present the city with $1 million in federal funding to help transform the former Global Iron site into much-needed affordable housing!

Our men and women in uniform deserve a president who cares about their health and safety.

The sailors serving aboard the USS Lincoln have been pushed to the brink after more than 260 days at sea. These servicemembers have fulfilled their duty and then some.

We saw it with the USS Ford, and now we’re seeing it with the USS Lincoln. These carriers’ extended deployments put the health and well-being of our sailors at risk. President Trump needs to end his war of choice and stop straining our military and servicemembers.

Here’s an idea – listen to the people who know what they’re talking about. When I visited the Ford last month, they talked about how that ship was night-and-day different than the old class of carriers.

Don’t forget that Republicans designed their Big Ugly Bill to go into full effect after this election. They know their Medicaid cuts are devastating and indefensible – they want to wait until there’s no accountability.

While costs skyrocket for American families, Trump has used his power to rake in over $2.2 billion. Why can’t he focus on lowering your rent, utility bills, or groceries?
- MW
It was great celebrating $16 million in federal funding for the Virginia Advanced Pharma Manufacturing Tech Hub yesterday! This funding is going to help train a strong workforce, create good-paying jobs in the Richmond-Petersburg area, and ensure that our critical medicines are made at home.

The SAVE Act will never pass the Senate. Republicans can try as many times as they want – we will keep blocking this blatant voter suppression bill.

Masked agents pointing a gun at an unarmed American citizen and threatening her for exercising her rights is unacceptable. We need commonsense reforms to strengthen ICE’s accountability and transparency now.

While Americans are struggling to afford gas, groceries, and other basic necessities, Trump is blowing $900 million — much of it taxpayer-funded — on vanity projects at the White House.

We can’t put AI back in the bottle. So each and every week in Congress, I’m laser-focused on passing real solutions that help us protect jobs, safeguard our national security, and outcompete our adversaries.

It’s not just in your head. The average family has spent $2,600 more on essentials since Trump took office. His costly war and disastrous tariffs have created an enormous tax on everything you buy.

Trump promised lower prices on day 1. More than 400 days later, they’re still going up.

President Trump’s executive order upending the administration of childhood vaccines puts children and families at risk.

Health care costs way too much. Millions of Americans get priced out of their coverage annually. We need to fight back against Republicans’ draconian cuts… and work towards a permanent universal coverage model, too.
- MW
Trump is selling prioritized access to his Truth Social posts… rigging the markets for anyone willing to pay him $100,000 a month. We cannot sit back and let this rampant corruption continue – we must pass my NO PROFIT Act.

Because of President Trump’s failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Americans are having to empty their wallets just to fill up their tanks.
