100,000 Virginians have been kicked off SNAP because of Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. These are real consequences for families just trying to put food on the table.

Voting in America is a right. And as Hayward Evans of the Seattle King County NAACP says, that precious right has been denied to too many in our nation’s history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKl9...

When the massive Pentagon and its immense Defense Industrial Base are incapable of predicting this (even with Ukraine’s Patriot demand signal), something is very badly wrong. This is a system failure. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Trump called reports of poor conditions on the USS Lincoln "fake news." We now know 8 sailors attempted suicide. This administration's treatment of our service members is disgraceful.

Seriously? Another self-promoting Trump ad paid for by your hard-earned tax dollars?! This is outrageous and should be illegal, which is why I’ve amended my bill to make it so.

Republicans' National Private School Voucher Program doesn't give families a choice. It gives private schools and unaccountable SGOs the choice instead. We need to pass the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act and keep public tax dollars where they belong: in our public schools.

Donald Trump has surrounded himself with yes men like Pete Hegseth, and that’s why everything he does is a disaster.

The White House gutted SNAP and Medicaid but somehow found money in the budget to pay for ads like this. What a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Trump's nominee to lead the FDA refused to say whether she thinks mifepristone—which has been approved by the FDA for DECADES—is safe. Medication abortion is the most common way women access abortion in America. Every Senator must vote NO.

With the support of the White House, my bill with Sen. Scott will create a competitive federal incentive to bring the movie magic back to America. This will lead to thousands of jobs and spur local economic growth across the nation.

Public officials are supposed to serve you, not the people lining their pockets. When they don't, there must be consequences. The Honest Services Fraud Improvement Act empowers YOU to sue your Member of Congress or other public officials for corrupt actions known as "honest services fraud."

It was a pleasure to join early childhood educators and advocates in Blacksburg to hear about challenges they face and thank them for their work. We’ve made progress to expand child care, but there’s more to do to lower costs, boost the workforce, and raise wages for providers.

Instead of lowering gas and grocery costs for your family President Trump is using your tax dollars illegally for TV campaign ads. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

ICE and CBP are using facial recognition to track, target, and surveil communities across the country expanding Trump’s surveillance state. My Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act would prohibit government use of this dangerous & discriminatory technology.

When child care costs as much as a mortgage or families are stuck on waiting lists, it’s harder for parents to work and communities to grow. As Governor, I will expand access to quality, affordable child care options.

If Republicans were serious about bringing an end to Trump’s war in Iran, they would have joined me this week in voting to end it. Instead, they chose to let this war continue and jack up your costs.

I’m introducing legislation to ensure that Big Oil pays its fair share and doesn’t rake in massive profits while American families suffer with high costs.

You’re paying 50% more for gas since the start of the Iran War. But Big Oil is turning those price spikes into profits while you’re left wondering if you’ll be able to fill your tank. 🧵

We’ve voted over a dozen times to end the war in Iran and bring the focus back to Americans here at home. Every time, MAGA Republicans failed to meet the moment. It’s way past time for Congress to step up.

How would my proposal with Sen. Scott to create a federal film tax incentive work? ✅Provide a 20% federal, labor-based tax credit to U.S. film and television productions, on top of state credits ✅Ensure additional incentives for rural and disaster impacted areas ✅Uplift independent film productions

Meanwhile it appears DOJ some time ago leaked the 37 pages to a Trump-friendly reporter. I wonder if they disclosed that to the judge. “So secret we can’t show you but we leaked them” is not a good look. meidasnews.com/news/trump-d...
