I’m heartbroken by the political violence we witnessed yesterday in Minnesota. Sending love to the Hortman family & prayers that Senator Hoffman & his wife fully recover. This tragedy affects us all & the democracy we hold dear. Minnesota is strong & resilient - I stand with you.

Congratulations to our 2025 Democratic ticket - @SpanbergerforVA, Senator Hashmi, & Jay Jones! These leaders will fight for Virginians and our families, improve our quality of life, and uplift our most vulnerable communities. I look forward to continuing the fight alongside you.

On June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom. Happy Juneteenth. Let us celebrate, reflect, and recommit to the work ahead. ❤️💚🖤

Sustained damage to Virginia’s economy – including this Administration’s mass firings of workers, terminations of key contracts, freezes of medical research funding, and attacks on our educational and research institutions – is bound to have an impact. Unless courts intervene,

Planned Parenthood provides a wide range of reproductive care services to Virginians, including cancer screenings, wellness and preventative care, and vaccinations. This Supreme Court ruling is playing with people's lives. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Academic freedom has propelled the U.S. to global leadership in science, innovation, health care, technology, & more. We must fight the Trump/Youngkin actions to politicize UVA and other academic institutions. Our progress & democracy depend on protecting intellectual freedom.

Congratulations to James Walkinshaw for his victory tonight. He ran a great campaign and I hope all Democrats will get behind him for the special election in September so we can send Donald Trump the biggest possible message from Fairfax.

BREAKING: In a remarkably powerful moment, Democrat Brendan Boyle just ripped apart the Republican Reconciliation package in a way I didn’t think was possible. This is incredible.

Republicans are plowing forward with the Big, Ugly Bill. So far, we’ve forced votes to remove $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts, protect rural hospitals from closures, undo nutrition assistance cuts, and more. Republicans blocked them all. They only care about billionaire tax cuts.

Now more than ever, I’m glad my amendment passed to stop the expansion of these cameras to highways and to require a second look at the potential expansion of their footprint in the future. Justice Forward VA Legal Aid Justice Center ACLU of Virginia

House Republicans — including all 5 from VA — voted to advance a bill that would threaten healthcare for more than 322,000 Virginians and leave at least 6 rural hospitals at risk of closing. Every elected official who votes for final passage should be ashamed.

If just the Hampton Roads delegation to Congress had voted no on Trump’s big ugly bill then it would have failed today. Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman let us down. This should leave all of us determined to change our delegation in 2026 and make sure this can never happen again.

See my interview with Julie Carey. I give some context around the implementation of my new law that protects a consumer’s reproductive & sexual health data. “These are purchases that nobody should know … what you are purchasing and why, and I want that privacy ensured.”

Virginia's sharp decline in CNBC's 'America's Top States for Business' rankings, the worst standing since 2018, rests squarely on the Youngkin-Sears admin’s shoulders. Their allegiance to Trump's extreme agenda is costing us jobs, weakening our economy & hurting our workforce.
