Thrilled to see Jefferson Lab break ground on their new High Performance Data Facility in Newport News. I was glad to help secure federal funding for the project, which will support scientific discoveries and reaffirm Virginia's role as a national tech leader.

I'm shocked but not surprised to hear that, at a time when families are worried about making ends meet, President Trump is building a giant wrestling cage in front of the partially-demolished White House to celebrate his birthday. What a perfect summary of this Administration.

A report found that 13 rural Virginia hospitals are at risk of closure—in part because of last year’s huge Medicaid cuts. For many Virginians, these hospitals are the only source of care. I will keep pushing to reverse the cuts and do more to support rural care.

A recent national survey found Americans’ confidence in the economy is the lowest it’s been in over sixty years. The reason? President Trump’s chaotic tariff policies and his illegal war in Iran.

Inflation just reached a three-year high. Gas prices are up by 41% since last year. The cost of groceries is soaring. Americans are paying the price for Trump’s illegal war in Iran—and it’s clearly time for Congress to come together to put a stop to it.

Every day, military spouses make sacrifices for our country. They deserve our support. That's why I joined @MarkWarner in a letter to the Office of Personnel Management regarding the lack of progress in improving the retention of federal employees who are military spouses.

Today is the Equal Pay Act's 63rd birthday. Signed by JFK, it was meant to ensure equal pay for all. But last year, women in VA still earned about 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. I am committed to passing the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the wage gap.

The success of future generations and our economy depend on America’s teachers. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill alongside @RepJahanaHayes to provide funding for school districts to enhance or establish mentoring and induction programs for new educators. Let's break it down:

Virginia families are already feeling the impact of Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid that were part of their tax giveaway bill for the uber-wealthy. A string of hospital closures and new work requirements will make it harder than ever to access care. Here’s what that means:

Secretary Hegseth is blocking the promotions of senior military officers for no reason. These patriotic Americans have earned their promotions based on merit, and Hegseth is standing in the way.
