It's hard to overstate the scope of Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s victory.

I congratulate and thank the candidates, their staffs and volunteers, and all whose tireless efforts made this happen.

My statement on Virginia's historic election results:

Hepatitis B vaccination has been recommended for all newborns since 1991. It led to a 99% reduction in pediatric infections and liver diseases caused by the virus have dropped dramatically.

This is a terrible decision. Babies could develop liver infection or die as a result.
BREAKING: Vaccine panel appointed by RFK Jr. votes to roll back newborn hepatitis B vaccine recommendations, upending years of CDC guidance and public health consensus.
CDC advisory panel rolls back universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation
The change upends decades of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and goes against widespread public health consensus.

ACA tax credits expire at the end of the month, and Republicans still have no plan – but Democrats do.

Our discharge petition would force a vote to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.

We just need a few Republicans to get this done.

When Trump fails to fund science and attacks the civil servants who drive discovery and innovation – our brightest minds leave for better opportunities. That means medical cures and breakthrough technologies might never be discovered.

Apparently the Trump Administration thinks the trillions they spent on tax cuts for the wealthy wasn't enough. Now they're planning another huge tax windfall for the biggest corporations in the country.

@warren.senate.gov and I are leading the charge against this.

Welcoming new Americans taking the oath after the arduous process of seeking citizenship is one of my favorite things. It's a wonderful experience that helps you see why people have looked to America with hope for over two centuries, and reminds you what makes our country great.

The Inspector General report found that Hegseth put our troops at risk.

He thinks it “exonerates” him and makes him look good.

This man’s failure and stupidity puts Americans at risk and he would never have gotten near a job this important in any competent administration.

This is just racism, and Trump's racist language is being coupled with racist policy to block people including many vetted under this administration who pursued legal status and citizenship the way they were supposed to, just because they aren't white. It's awful and immoral.
Trump unleashes xenophobic tirade against Somalis, branding them "garbage" in an outburst that was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry even for a president known for his history of insulting Black people, write Zolan Kanno-Youngs and @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Hegseth's recklessness put our troops at risk.

His orders led to what were likely war crimes.

He was never qualified.

He set an atrocious example for the world's most powerful military.

Most people who failed this badly at their jobs would be fired. He should be fired too.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.

That makes 214.

We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Yet again, Trump and Rollins are illegally threatening to withhold federal dollars. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any government program, but Trump continues to weaponize hunger.

Trump used drugs as pretext for illegal killings in the Caribbean, and as pretext for illegal, inflation-spiking tariffs.

But he just pardoned a man who "flooded America with cocaine" and boasted that he'd “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.”

Trump's corruption is endless.

Virginia families are paying the price for Republican inaction. They can’t continue to wait longer – it’s time for Republicans to join Democrats in extending ACA subsidies that make health care more affordable.

Americans are facing an affordability crisis and struggling with higher costs because of Trump’s tariff policies, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Republicans should stand up to Trump and do something about it. No more excuses.

We’re a full month into ACA Open Enrollment.

Families are scrambling to figure out how they’ll afford to pay double, triple, and even quadruple in premiums.

But Republicans are still uninterested in joining Democrats to stop these disastrous price hikes.

The House wasted a crazy amount of time this week on measures to punish each other.

That isn't what the American people sent us here to do.

I'm introducing a reform with Rep. Don Bacon to fix this broken process and raise the level of sanity in the House.

The BLS jobs report released today shows the unemployment rate rose in September to its highest level since 2021.

It also shows that the U.S. economy *lost* jobs in August, after losing jobs in June.

Prior to this year, we hadn't seen a negative monthly jobs number since 2020.

The US continues to lose manufacturing jobs—payrolls are down 94k over the last year, & another 6k jobs were lost in September

Transportation (especially auto manufacturing) and electronics/electrical manufacturing are the biggest losers, but almost no subsectors are doing well

This is the highest the unemployment rate has been since October 2021, when the economy was still emerging from the COVID pandemic.

Republicans enacted the largest cut to health care access in U.S. history, stripping health care coverage from 15 million Americans to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. And by refusing to extend ACA subsidies, they're raising health insurance costs for 24 million more.

Congress has been slow to respond to AI; in the absence of action states are taking the lead to create guardrails and protect the public.

Trump's ban would kill responsible safety reforms to give AI companies a Wild West environment, putting Americans at risk.
