I'll be joining Dana Bashon Inside Politics at 12 noon today to discuss why I think RFK Jr. must resign or be fired immediately.

Trump said his “little excursion” in Iran would last a few weeks. It's now been six months of an expensive and needless war. 18 brave US troops are dead, the Strait is closed, gas prices are up, billions of dollars are wasted, and Trump is clueless on ending this war. Stop the war. No more funding.

Glad to have stopped by SVHEC in South Boston yesterday to talk with local education and business leaders. I was proud to secure over $751K to expand skills training at the center, and I’ll keep working to help all Virginia localities make the investments they need to attract talent.

Violence in the West Bank is out of control. I’m proud to join nearly all Senate Democrats in calling on the Israeli government to stop the construction of illegal settlements and rein in violence by settlers that has taken the lives of many Palestinians and nine Americans in the last four years.

Our troops deserve a Secretary of Defense who doesn’t just thank them for their service, but gives them a plan, a strategy and an endgame so they can safely return home to their families. Pete Hegseth is a failure.

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.
- JH
More than half of the people Trump’s ICE is arresting have ZERO criminal history. Many are simply waiting on our backlogged immigration system. What happened to going after the worst of the worst? ICE needs a top to bottom overhaul.

WOW. According to a new report, Delawareans are spending $3,300 more on average thanks to the Trump administration. I'm fighting to bring down costs for folks working hard just to make it by. It's time for Republicans in Washington to join me.

A pleasure to join the American Bar Association for a fireside chat to reflect on my work in the Senate Judiciary Committee. From passing the bipartisan First Step Act to confirming a record 235 lifetime federal judges during the Biden Admin, I'm honored to have led this Committee

Jacques Orchard, MI Great Lakes Fish Co., and Flower Stand On Osborn are all examples of small Michigan farmers and vendors working hard to navigate the challenges of agriculture. Our local farmers markets are a boon for our health and our local economies. Buy local, people!

As a member of the Senate Ag Committee, I got to spend some time with some folks from the MyPros young professional program and hear about the importance of getting fresh, locally grown food to people across the region.

I’ve been hearing about the Midland Farmers Market for a while now, so it was great to get out to see it.

Republicans have acknowledged that tariffs are hurting farmers and small business owners, and raising prices on families. This is a time for courage. I urge my Senate colleagues to protect their constituents and stand up to Trump.

The DOJ wants to shield Trump’s communications with others from Congressional oversight. Why? To insulate Trump and his corrupt acts from any accountability if the majority changes. I'm leading an effort to stop this latest abuse of power. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

President Trump made $2.4 billion in personal income last year while at the same time kicking 1.5 million children off food assistance. The presidency is supposed to be about helping working families, not enriching yourself.

Big defense contractors take taxpayer dollars, then spend billions buying back their own stock. Meanwhile, our national security gets shortchanged. Their own numbers show they can cut back. I’ve got a bipartisan bill to stop this kind of corporate greed.

Proud to tour Trenton with Salvation and Social Justice. From the Food Pantry serving hundreds each month, to their upcoming Birthing Center tackling maternal health deserts, to the new Restorative Justice Hub where Street Teams mentor our youth.

Happy Healthcare Day of Action! I believe that everyone deserves healthcare, and that it's especially important for our younger and aging generations. That’s why I introduced MediKids, universal healthcare for children. No child should go without the care they need.

Trump is a narcissist who, if he can't have his name on the Kennedy Center, wants to destroy it. It's a metaphor for his presidency: if Trump doesn't get his way, the American people pay. The Kennedy Center & every monument in America belong to the people. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Great Minnesota Get-Together is here! The State Fair is one of our best traditions – bringing Minnesotans together to celebrate the people, food, agriculture, and traditions that make our state special. And for years, I’ve been at the gates to kick off Opening Day.

Today we mourn the loss of Harper and Fletcher, we honor their memory, and we lift up their families, loved ones, and the entire Annunciation community.

During the first mass of the school year, two children, Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski, were murdered. Twenty-nine others — including 26 children — were injured. And a sense of peace was shattered by a senseless act of violence.

One year ago, Minnesotans were shaken to our core by the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church.

Minnesotans feel the effects of Trump’s across-the-board tariffs every single day. But my opponent calls them “effective.” The last thing Minnesota needs is a rubber stamp of Donald Trump in the governor’s office.

106 years ago, the 19th Amendment was certified, giving women the right to vote after decades of organizing, protest, and sacrifice. Voting is one of our most basic rights, and we can’t take it for granted. Every generation has to show up and protect it.

Always great to be at IALR in Danville, where incredible strides are made in research, workforce training, and innovative defense manufacturing. I’ve supported IALR since I was Governor and look forward to continuing to work together to boost our economy and national security.

Tariffs are a tax on working families. Trump’s reckless agenda is making everyday goods more expensive. Enough is enough. abcnews.com/Business/tar...

Notebooks, lunchboxes, and other back-to-school essentials are over 20% more expensive this year than they were last year. Thanks to President Trump, higher prices are making an already expensive time of year even harder for families.

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.

Weston Halsne was in the 5th grade when he survived the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School. Almost a year later, he and his mom share how much life has changed, and how they remember and honor Harper and Fletcher outdoors – where they loved to be.

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.

Today’s settlement sends a clear message: Big Tech must put kids’ well-being first. However, we cannot rely on court cases alone. Congress must also pass strong legislation including COPPA 2.0, which would update my original COPPA law, and my Youth AI Privacy Act to protect kids in this digital age.

My message to Trump: hands off our public lands. Without the Roadless Rule, 2 million acres of forest in WA state alone will be unprotected and up for grabs to Trump's highest bidder. This is outrageous, and I will do everything I can to fight back.

The Annunciation School community is strong and brave. Over the last year they have shown us how to meet darkness with hope and light.
