The Trump Admin is illegally disappearing people to mass torture centers in El Salvador without due process. I’m forcing a vote on my legislation to demand answers about Trump's compliance with U.S. court orders and El Salvador's human rights record. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Republicans blocked my legislation to demand answers from the Trump Administration about whether or not it is complying with U.S. court orders about the forced disappearances of people to megaprisons in El Salvador. And Trump says he's sending American citizens there next.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is horrific. Innocent civilians need food and medical supplies—necessities that aren't bargaining chips. The Israeli government must lift aid blockades and we must reach a ceasefire and hostage deal—the only durable path to resolving the crisis.

The Trump Administration is slashing staff from the Department of Health and Human services and then failing to answer Virginians’ questions about their health care. That’s wrong. In yesterday’s health committee hearing, I demanded answers from RFK Jr. directly. His response:

Great morning in D.C. celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month with Mark Warner, Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10), @bobbyscott, and Virginia’s AANHPI community. These talented individuals have made our Commonwealth a stronger, more prosperous place.

Many American families are already struggling to afford the cost of living. Now companies are warning Trump’s reckless and unnecessary tariffs will spike costs for everyday goods. We must end these tariffs immediately before the American people and economy pay the price.

On National Armed Forces Day—and always—I’m grateful for the bravery and dedication of our women and men in uniform. I’ll continue to advocate for servicemembers and their families as a member of the Armed Services Committee.

On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we recommit to stamping out hate toward LGBTQ+ folks. Amidst the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ bills and policies, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community and will keep working to create a more welcoming and safer world for all.

Folks’ confidence in the economy has nosedived since Trump took office and started implementing disastrous economic policies like massive global tariffs. I’m going to keep doing all I can to protect our economy from Trump’s worst impulses.

Founded 60 years ago today, National Head Start Association has provided education and health care to countless kids in Virginia and across the U.S. for decades. As Trump attempts to cut funding for Head Start, I will continue to fight to protect these crucial programs.

I met with Cristosal recently to hear more about the Bukele regime's horrific human rights abuses and this brave organization's hard work to shine a light on it. This disappearance only reaffirms those concerns and I will be monitoring the situation closely.

Overdose deaths have stolen too many lives. This is a positive sign that VA is recovering, but there's still work to do. I’m glad my bipartisan bill to tackle fentanyl was signed by President Biden and will keep working to build on that progress to protect our communities.

The Inflation Reduction Act has supported 20,000+ Virginia jobs, cut energy costs, and helped us be leaders in the clean energy economy. The Republican budget would undo all of that progress by rolling back the Inflation Reduction Act to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Unvetted DOGE bros are rifling through millions of Americans’ personal information, posing serious privacy and national security risks. That’s why I’m introducing legislation with Mark Warner to protect that information by increasing penalties for violating privacy laws.

Americans are struggling with price hikes caused by Trump’s trade wars. Instead of working to fix the economy, Trump accepted his $400 million luxury jet from Qatar today—an obvious bribe that is insulting to the American people and a threat to our national security.

With so much economic uncertainty, it's critical that we keep lowering health care costs. That's why I'm introducing a bipartisan bill to cut costs for maternal care and childbirth. I'll keep working to put great care within reach for moms and newborns throughout their lives.

For many, employer-sponsored retirement plans are a crucial to their long-term financial security. But one in four workers isn't taking advantage of these opportunities. I’m introducing legislation to help more Americans get enrolled so they can improve their financial footing.
