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.

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.

NEW: Senator Kaine and I just introduced our DCA Air Safety Act to reduce traffic and improve safety at the airport.

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.
- MW
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.

Trump is moving ahead with plans for his Triumphal Arch. But what triumph are we celebrating? America is trapped in a war with no end in sight, while families are paying more for everything from gas to groceries to health care.
- MW
The Trump admin is taking federal agents away from investigating crimes like terrorism and sex trafficking to investigate noncitizen voting – something that’s been proven time and time again to be exceedingly rare. They aren’t making America safer.

Gloria Steinem’s life-long fight created a brighter and freer world for millions of women. The rights and culture she fought for and helped build were unimaginable when she was first born.

Over 6 months into this war, and Trump has accomplished none of his goals. The Iranian regime is more extreme. Gas prices are still up. We’ve spent untold billions and lost American lives. Why won’t he say enough is enough?
- MW
A whistleblower has just confirmed our fears.

While your gas prices remain sky-high, Trump’s top priorities are his ballroom and renaming Lake Ontario.
- MW
Trump’s tariffs are costing the average family $2,000. The fastest thing we can do to lower your costs is get rid of them. I’m proud to introduce legislation today that would revoke and refund Trump’s latest tariffs, letting you keep more of your hard-earned money.

I will not stop until we get Virginia to universal broadband coverage. It was wonderful to be in beautiful Giles County last week talking about the road to get there.

Wow. A whistleblower is confirming our fears: millions of Americans may not receive their mail-in ballot ahead of the midterm elections thanks to Trump’s new policies. They are openly trying to silence your vote. We will keep fighting back. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/u...

Trump’s chaos at the Postal Service is putting Americans’ votes at risk. No voter should have their ballot thrown out because the mail didn’t arrive on time. Every American deserves to have their voice heard and their vote counted.

Our military leaders agree that prolonging this war of choice with Iran risks the U.S.’s ability to fight threats at home and abroad. The president’s war is making no one safer.

We’re 6 months into Trump’s war of choice. What has it accomplished?
- MW
Once again, Trump is lashing out at the free press – showing contempt for the Constitution, an utter disregard for facts, and a willingness to deceive the American people when the truth doesn’t serve his own fragile ego.

Blessed to end my day today in Craig County hearing from local leaders and seeing the New Castle Volunteer Fire Department! Every single county — from our biggest to some of our least populous — is important to me. What a privilege to meet as many Virginians as possible.

Took in the beauty of Giles County this afternoon while I convened a group of local leaders to discuss broadband expansion! I’m not leaving any county behind as I continue my fight for universal broadband coverage across the Commonwealth.

We’re 6 months into Trump’s war of choice with Iran, and the president has nothing to show for it. Rather than focusing on ending this war and bringing down costs for Americans, Trump is busy renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.
