Trump and Republicans are so dead set on letting health care premiums skyrocket that they were willing to shut down the government. I’ll keep fighting for Fairfax families $ pushing for a bipartisan deal to fund the govt, protect federal workers, & prevent this health care…

It was great to be in Reston this morning for the Northern Virginia Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We must do more to support those facing Alzheimer’s and their caregivers, and to invest in the research needed to end this devastating disease.




Had a great time connecting with folks at Fairfax City’s 49th Annual Fall Festival! 🍂 From local food to music and crafts, it was a perfect celebration of our community.




Trump & Russ Vought are breaking the law — using illegal mass firings to strong-arm Congress into letting health care costs skyrocket for families. If they want to end this shutdown, they can tell Republicans to end their vacation. I’ve called on @USGAO & IGs to investigate.
Republicans’ out-of-office replies are working overtime. Not sure where they are, maybe on vacation or at the golf course. My @OversightDems colleagues and I are on the job, ready to end the shutdown, protect federal workers, avoid the health care crisis, & #ReleaseTheFiles.
Oversight Democrats are clear: this Republican shutdown needs to end now.
We’ve launched a whistleblower protection and tip line. And we encourage anyone who was illegally fired, or has information about wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, to contact us. @OversightDems are here to stop corruption and uncover the truth.
RIFs during a shutdown are 100% illegal. @OversightDems Ranking Member @RepRobertGarcia and I called on @USGAO to investigate Russ Vought’s illegal directive ordering agencies to fire federal workers in violation of the Antideficiency Act. This scheme needs to be investigated.


RIFs during a shutdown are illegal and we know that lawyers inside the Administration have said so. We are accepting whistleblower reports to ensure accountability.
TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open. We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/contact/tip-li…
If Russ Vought wants to end Trump’s shutdown, he should ask Speaker Johnson to end the Congressional Republican vacation and show up to negotiate a bipartisan budget. Any large-scale RIFs underway are flatly illegal. While Trump tries and fails to scare Democrats, millions of…
Fairfax families are opening their mail to find health premiums skyrocketing — all because Republicans are letting ACA tax credits expire. I’m working around the clock with my Democratic colleagues to stop these hikes and end the shutdown. If your family is being hit by this…

Proud to stand with the @DadsCaucus as we fight to end this shutdown & address the cost of living crisis Trump has created. Millions of parents across America are lying awake at night, worried how they’ll afford health care for their families. It’s time for House Republicans…
Trump’s shutdown continues, and millions of Americans’ healthcare hangs in the balance. Today, the Dads Caucus called on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring Republicans back from vacation, reopen the government, and finally stand up for working parents.




My @OversightDems colleagues and I are at the Capitol, ready to end the shutdown, defend federal workers, prevent a health care crisis, and #ReleaseTheFiles.
Oversight Democrats have one message for Speaker Johnson: Stop the Shutdown, Release the Files!
Today, I visited Elden Street Tea Shop in Reston to learn how the healthcare crisis will impact this small business. We heard from a mother whose adult child will lose Medicaid coverage because of the looming cuts and a part-time employee and college student who can’t afford…




Proud to stand with my colleague @RepSuhas and Democrats in the Virginia delegation to protect federal workers and fight for a bipartisan deal that funds the govt & cancels the health care cuts. It’s past time for Republicans to show up and work to end this Trump shutdown.
Calling all #VA11 students! My office is now accepting applications for the 2025 Congressional App Challenge, an incredible opportunity for young coders to showcase their creativity and tech skills. Learn more at: congressionalappchallenge.us

Trump’s threat to block furloughed workers’ back pay is nothing but a scare tactic. Ironically, Trump himself signed the 2019 law that guarantees back pay. It’s crystal clear. Trump is feeling the heat from his shutdown and looming health care cuts. But bluster won’t solve…
On this day two years ago, Hamas terrorists attacked innocent Israelis. We must honor the lives lost and push for an end to the war in Gaza, the release of all hostages, an end to the humanitarian crisis, and the sustainable peace that Palestinians and Israelis deserve.
