NEW: We need to take steps towards universal health care coverage NOW. Today, I’m introducing my Health CARE Act, legislation that would reverse the devastating impacts of HR. 1, implement a low-cost public health insurance option, and permanently expand ACA tax credits.
- MW
Completely heartbreaking. We owe our servicemembers so much more than these forever wars.

I just fought on the Senate floor to try and overturn Trump’s union-busting executive orders that targeted hard-working federal employees. Republicans blocked it.

Months in and this war of choice rages on – sending diesel prices to new record highs. Just like Trump’s tariffs, all of those extra costs are going to be passed along directly to us in the form of higher prices at the grocery store & on everything we buy.
- MW
This administration has a clear pattern – skim funds, cut programs, and raise costs for everyday Americans… while they get everything they need and more.

Something is deeply wrong when Trump’s net worth is skyrocketing but families across the country can’t afford gas, groceries, and health care. Donald Trump’s culture of open corruption is leaving Americans out to dry while he and his friends get rich.

Half of Virginia families with kids are food insecure. Why does Donald Trump care more about his ballroom?

The Iran War has cost at least $43 billion. How much could we do to lower costs, invest in schools, or work towards ending child poverty with that money instead?
- MW
Trump cries “free speech” and turns around and throws entire networks out of the White House. He promises no new wars and starts a brutal one in Iran. He promises lower prices and we get spiking gas costs.
- MW
Half of Virginia families with kids are food insecure. Trump’s slashing of SNAP and his cost-spiking war are having unconscionable impacts on our kids.
- MW
As election day gets closer, Trump is trying to hide his failures from the press. The networks are refusing to go along with it. The president is scared because he knows the American people are going to hold him accountable for his skyrocketing costs and forever war.

Every day for the past 15 days, diesel prices in Virginia have reached a new record high. That’s devastating for farmers across the Commonwealth. And the costs get passed along to you on everything you buy.

President Trump is fighting AI regulation while his own financial interests are increasingly tied to the industry. Trump is more focused on profiting off the presidency than he is on making sure we have basic guardrails to protect Americans from AI’s risks.
- MW
Trump said his war with Iran would last 6 weeks. More than 6 months later, the war is still waging, and Americans have paid an extra $100 billion for gas and diesel and at least another $60 billion for essentials like groceries and mortgages.

The ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The arch. If only Trump cared about lowering costs for the American people as much as he cared about memorializing his own ego.
- MW
For nearly a year, Trump pitched his proposed arch as a tourist attraction. Now, he says it will double as a military complex. This is an obvious attempt by the president to tie another one of his personal vanity projects to national security, in hopes of getting it built amid growing opposition.

During Yom Kippur, I want to wish all Jews observing an easy and meaningful fast and a reflective holiday. G’mar Chatima Tovah!

The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and a key economic engine for Virginia. Trump’s decision to roll back policy that has helped clean up and protect the Bay is a terrible step back for Virginia’s gorgeous landscapes and our economy.
- MW
Trump is withholding the $257 million Congress allocated to renovate the Kennedy Center. Instead, he’s shutting it down because he can’t put his name on the building. Why is the president more focused on naming monuments after his own ego than he is on governing?

While gas prices stay above above $4/gallon, Trump’s priorities are his ballroom, the Kennedy Center, and election interference.

From a @nytimes.com story today on disturbing new patterns of behavior from AI models. Let’s pass regulation NOW.

NEW: 120,000 fewer Virginians have food assistance benefits after Trump’s tax bill took effect. While his unpopular war spikes prices & raises your costs, he’s making it harder and harder to access any help at all.
- MW
NEW: OpenAI just came forward with six new incidents of “concerning” behavior by their AI models… including cases where the model inserted instructions to disregard its own constraints. We can’t wait any longer. We need to pass meaningful guardrails on AI.
- MW
New analyses show the Pentagon has spent $38 billion+ on this war… on top of the $100 billion in extra fuel costs Americans have spent on gas. Every day, those costs spike higher and higher. Democrats have voted time and time again to end this war. Republicans need to join us.
- MW
Over $6/gallon diesel. Over $4/gallon gas. These are the costs of a failing war.
- MW
Even though Congress had already appropriated $257 million for the Kennedy Center’s renovation… Trump is shutting it down entirely because he’s upset he can’t put his name on it. Why is he focused on these grievances instead of lowering costs for Americans?
- MW
Make America Healthy Again…. Unless you want to breathe air, eat vegetables without getting explosive illnesses, or avoid measles.

When AI leaders are saying with one voice that we need to slow down, we need to slow down. I have a package of bills we could act on this week to start the process of regulating AI. Let’s pass them.
- MW
For months, we’ve been warning about threats to our elections so we could lay the groundwork for moments like this. Glad to see the Supreme Court make the wise decision to throw out this bogus attempt at interference. We will keep fighting whatever scheme comes next.

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! All month long, we celebrate the enormous impact of our Hispanic and Latino communities across Virginia. Let’s keep supporting Latino-owned small businesses and paying tribute to the enormous contributions of the Latino diaspora!

Donald Trump claims we don’t need AI regulation… just a “high IQ” president. The bad news is we don’t have either. And we really need that AI regulation now.

Last year’s tragic mid-air collision that killed 67 people – and the numerous near misses since – have made the dangers of DCA’s overburdened airspace painfully clear. Congress can’t wait for another tragedy to act.
- MW
NEW: Senator Kaine and I just introduced our DCA Air Safety Act to reduce traffic and improve safety at the airport.

The Kennedy Center is a national institution for the arts and a living memorial to President Kennedy. It belongs to the American people — not any one president. It’s shameful that Trump is holding its future hostage to turn it into another monument to his own ego.
- MW
Let me get this straight: Trump and his cronies are threatening to close the Kennedy Center unless his name is slapped on the building?

A Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding – paying for one of the private islands, fireworks, and more. Why is a Putin-linked oligarch spending a fortune on Jr.’s wedding?

AI has tremendous potential — but even the companies building it are sounding the alarm on the risks. Congress can’t afford to sit on the sidelines. I’ve already introduced a comprehensive legislative agenda to ensure America leads the world in developing AI safely and responsibly.
- MW
We cannot wait for AI companies to self-regulate. They are raising every alarm. Congress must act this week to meet the rapidly developing threat landscape posed by AI. Let’s take bipartisan action NOW to meet this moment.

This Rosh Hashanah, I wish all Jewish people in Virginia and around the world a very sweet celebration of the new year and a joyous year ahead. Shana Tova!

25 years on, the pain and memory of 9/11 is still with us. To every family still mourning, to first responders living with the mental and physical toll, no day shall erase you from the memory of time. We will always remember those we lost and the bravery of so many on that day.

Yesterday, I cut the ribbon on a brand new VA outpatient clinic in Hampton Roads. It’s great news for Virginia’s vibrant veteran population, but we need to make sure this administration stops shrinking the VA workforce.

Trump picked a tit-for-tat trade war with Canada. Now American families, farmers, and businesses are stuck paying the price.
- MW
Every day, I hear from Virginians struggling with rising costs. How does renaming New Mexico “New America” bring down prices? We need lower costs, not more distractions.

When I’m on the road across Virginia, I’m always on the hunt for a great peanut noodle, so I had to stop at Vang Go Bistro in Norfolk today — the noodles & dumplings were delicious! Virginia has the BEST small businesses with the kindest teams. Stop by if you’re in HRVA!

It was wonderful to cut the ribbon on a new outpatient VA clinic in Chesapeake this morning! I’ve fought for years to open more VA facilities across the Commonwealth, and I’ll always keep up my fight to make VA care stronger and easier to access.
