Trump’s ICE raids make our communities less safe. At a field hearing with @OversightDems in LA, we heard from a woman whose 79 year old father, an American citizen, was brutally assaulted by ICE. Instead of protecting communities, Trump’s mass deportation policies are leading…


This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for all those who work to make our community strong and welcoming, in spite of many challenges. Wishing you a restful and happy Thanksgiving.

Tonight, my thoughts are with the National Guardsmen fighting for their lives and their loved ones. We don’t yet know the motive for this heinous crime, but a full, transparent investigation needs to take place to determine whether or how it could have been prevented.


I’m horrified to learn that National Guardsmen have been shot in Washington, DC. My thoughts are with their families, loved ones, and those who served alongside them in the Guard.

Several people were shot near the White House in Washington, DC, including at least one National Guardsman cnn.it/3XmgPs9



At @OversightDems’ LA field hearing, families shared the trauma of Trump’s ICE raids. Law-abiding citizens and immigrants are being brutally detained while real public safety threats go ignored.


Yesterday @OversightDems held a shadow field hearing in Los Angeles to hear firsthand the impacts of Trump’s reckless deportation policies. They’ve targeted and brutally detained law-abiding immigrants and American citizens, with a campaign designed to sow fear. But the…


Trump promised to lower prices. Instead, Thanksgiving costs are up 10% — three times higher than inflation — and some everyday foods are nearly 60% higher than last year. Families are paying the price for his failures.

.@SenMarkKelly bravely flew 39 combat missions, commanded the space shuttle, & recovered fallen astronauts.  He’s being “investigated” for a video where he simply states the law. That tells you everything you need to know about the Trump admin.

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space…

Life is more expensive because of reckless Republican policies. From Trump’s tariffs to their Big Ugly Bill, families are paying more for groceries, rent, health care, and utilities. @HouseDemocrats are fighting to make life more affordable.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Law created a health care crisis. As a result, premiums are going up for families across the country.  House Democrats are fighting to lower your costs, and that includes our newest members @Rep_Walkinshaw and @Rep_Grijalva.



Veteran-owned small businesses have earned their place in the federal marketplace through their sacrifice and their ability to deliver the goods and services agencies need. Indiscriminately cancelling their contracts is a betrayal. We should be expanding opportunities for…

Almost a year into Trump's second term, veterans doing business with DC are feeling the sting of the president's efforts to shrink the federal government and DOGE’s crusade to combat what it calls waste, fraud and abuse. politico.com/news/2025/11/2…

This morning, I joined the incredible team at Western Fairfax Christian Ministries to help distribute Thanksgiving meals to families in Fairfax County. Our community is strongest when we show up for one another and today was a powerful reminder of that.

.@SenTimKaine & I introduced bicameral legislation to demand accountability for VA resident & Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.  This week, Trump rolled out the red carpet & defended Mohammed bin Salman, the man who ordered the killing. Jamal & his family deserve…

Yesterday, Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval and defended him when he was asked about Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Disgusting. I'm speaking on the floor now about my legislation demanding accountability from the Saudi government.



Really enjoyed joining @wamu885’s The Politics Hour live at Fair Oaks Mall today. Thank you to @Nnamdikid, @tomsherwood, and every neighbor who tuned in, showed up, and took part in the conversation!


Trump moves Maxwell to a cushy prison where she gets special benefits, according to a whistleblower. Now she’s refusing to participate in our investigation. What are they hiding?

Ghislaine Maxwell is getting special treatment and privileges from Donald Trump. She is refusing to cooperate with our investigation. She's campaigning for a pardon. She has violently harmed and abused countless women and girls. It's a White House coverup. What are they hiding?
