Week in and week out, I’m voting to end this painful war in Iran. Americans want action on health care, energy, and housing costs, not another forever war.
- MW
We all knew this was going to happen – after Republicans ended ACA tax credits that kept health insurance affordable, millions are now dropping their coverage. It never had to be this way.
- MW
House Republicans have finally voted to end the DHS shutdown. Now, it’s time to put common sense guardrails on ICE and CBP.

The Iran War is now as unpopular as the Iraq and Vietnam Wars. Americans are footing the bill every day for this war of choice… when will it end?
- MW
Trump spiked health care costs for tens of millions of Americans… while finding money for a war that’s costing tens of billions of dollars.

We’re running low on key munitions that will take years and billions to replenish. Trump gutted Medicaid but still keeps finding billions more for a war of choice.

Combined with his reckless firing of countless highly-qualified agents for purely political reasons… does this really sound like someone capable of keeping Americans safe?

This morning’s Supreme Court ruling only further underscores the urgent need for Congress to protect and expand voting rights. We still need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.
- MW
The housing crisis is spiraling out of control. Americans can’t afford rent or the skyrocketing costs of ownership. We need to pass the ROAD to Housing Act so we can start taking meaningful action to lower Americans’ costs.
- MW
This administration will do anything but focus on lowering costs.

Particularly as an Alexandria resident, this bill to “make DC square again” is a sad, distracting attempt to disenfranchise Virginians. Republicans should join us in actually working to improve costs, health care, and housing… not doing partisan stunts.
- MW
I look forward to returning to the Senate this week and continuing that essential work.
- MW
If I can find any solace during this time, it’s that I have the enormous privilege to serve Virginians and the responsibility to keep working for a better, more just world in Maddy’s name.
- MW
She used to say to me: “Dad, you have the power – you have to use it.” She pushed me to make the most of my position, to use my seat in the Senate to help people in meaningful ways.
- MW
Maddy was a deeply empathetic and engaged person. Even as recently as the day she passed, she was full of ideas and suggestions for me – especially how I could improve my social media to make a difference.
- MW
As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we’ve received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words.

Tulsi Gabbard probably sees the writing on the wall with the firings of Bondi and Noem. How much election interference is she willing to do to stay in Trump’s good graces?
- MW
And we’re also going to need even bigger solutions – like having AI companies pay for some of this transition – in order to fully get ahead. We need bold policy solutions to meet this moment… and I’m continuing to press for action daily.
- MW
But we’re also going to need a larger plan to prepare for some of the other changes down the line, so I’m working on something bipartisan with Mike Rounds, too. www.warner.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

And we’ve also been pressing directly on the executive branch to start some of that data collection started ASAP. www.warner.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

We need better data collection so we can support and retrain the most at-risk workers. I have a bill with Josh Hawley to do it: www.warner.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

We could see 30% unemployment among recent grads unless we get serious about preparing for the massive AI-driven changes to our economy. Here’s some of what we need to do (🧵)
- MW
Tulsi Gabbard’s decision to recommend a lawful whistleblower for prosecution is yet another example of her willingness to carry out politically motivated, bogus orders to appease President Trump.

- MW
Regime change? Not really. Iranian navy destroyed? No. All nuclear capabilities ended? Also no. We’ve spent billions on a war that’s taken American lives and achieved none of its goals.
- MW
Yet another desperate attempt by Tulsi Gabbard to crush and criminalize dissent and manipulate the levers of power in favor of Trump – much like she’s attempting to do in our elections.

I’m keeping Cerina and Justin Fairfax’s children in my prayers as we all process this shocking and horrifying news. To any Virginian impacted by domestic violence, help is available at 1-800-799-7233.
- MW
Any way you slice it, Americans are forced to pay more under Trump’s economy.

The numbers don’t lie. Trump’s economy is leaving Virginians with higher costs than ever.

I just voted AGAIN to rein in Trump’s costly, deadly war in Iran… Republicans blocked it. We will keep fighting to end this horrible forever war.

We’re over a month into this war and the costs have been immeasurable. This week, I’m updating you on the four key issues I am thinking about as this war rages.

The numbers don’t lie. We’re all paying more because of Trump’s tariffs.

Things are incredibly challenging, but we are seeing some signs of hope. The Hungarian people came out in record numbers to vote out Orban, their authoritarian leader. Democracy can overcome autocracy.
- MW
On Yom HaShoah, we honor and remember the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust. Today and every day, we know that “never again” starts with an enduring, daily commitment to speaking out against all forms of anti-Semitism.
- MW
“I have no fear of the Trump administration.” Pope Leo’s firm answer reminds us of the power of faith and decency over the smallness of autocratic leaders.
- MW
Some things just shouldn’t be mocked. Trump comparing himself to Christ and his open insulting of Pope Leo is deeply offensive to so many Christians across the globe.
- MW
Americans can’t afford health care, child care, or groceries, but Trump is spending $1 billion a day on a war that is making no one safer.
video
- MW
Mocking and trivializing faith is a failure to understand the values that matter to millions of Americans. Political attacks on the Pope only underscore the point. We’re a country built on religious freedom and mutual respect, and we should expect better from our leaders.
- MW
BREAKING: I join the Hungarian people in celebrating the crushing defeat of Orbán – a ringing testament to the power of democracy over autocracy. While we deal with Trump’s disastrous leadership, let’s find strength & hope in the power of the people over horrible strongman leaders.
- MW
Now that negotiations have stalled out… what next? What’s Trump’s plan to end this forever war?
video
- MW
Despite Trump’s so-called truce, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, and Americans are still paying more than $4 for a gallon of gas. It’s clear that the administration went into this war of choice completely unprepared for its consequences.
- MW
Gas prices just had the largest monthly jump in six decades. Trump’s war of choice in Iran is directly driving up prices and crushing hard-working Americans.
- MW
Americans can’t afford housing, health care, or groceries, but Trump’s using taxpayer dollars to build his own arch.

Is this another blatant example of Trump manipulating markets?

Trump promised to lower costs and “defeat inflation” on day 1. Instead, inflation rates are higher than they were when he took office. Trump’s senseless tariffs and chaotic foreign policy agenda are not working for the U.S. economy.
- MW
Trump has proposed sweeping budget cuts to security agencies that would undermine the integrity of our country’s elections. This is just the latest in what Trump has been boasting for months: that he intends to intervene in and “take over” elections.
- MW
Trump’s war of choice has cost the American people billions of dollars, and what does he have to show for it?
