Long before explorers landed on the shores of North America, several distinct groups of Alqoquian, Siouan and Iroquoian-speaking people lived in what became Virginia.

This #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor their history, culture and resilience.

Republicans shut down the federal government rather than prevent skyrocketing insurance premiums for millions of Americans.

We’re 10 days into the Republican government shutdown as the clock runs out on enhanced ACA premium tax credits. Here’s what you may have missed this week.

These firings will be contested in court. I stand with our federal workers and will do everything in my power to ensure they receive the support and protections they need ahead.

Virginia’s economy and our communities have been hit especially hard this year as the Trump Administration kills jobs and does nothing to address rising costs.

In Virginia, the state with the second highest number of federal employees, we know just how valuable our federal workforce is and what we stand to lose through mass firings.

Our federal workers are not faceless bureaucrats. They are the people who ensure our water is safe to drink and the air is clean to breathe. They’re the ones who defend and uphold the civil rights of our young students. Their dedicated service improves our lives.

From previous mass firings, to federal buyout offers, to DOGE’s systematic assault on federal agencies earlier this year, the Trump Administration has consistently undermined essential services for the American people.

Over 200,000 federal workers have already been pushed out of their jobs as a result of Vought’s campaign to traumatize our civil service. This pattern of needless cruelty has left millions uncertain for their lives and livelihoods in the coming weeks and months.

Today’s announced mass layoffs represent the Trump Administration and Vought’s latest illegal attempt to inflict that trauma on our federal workforce. This comes amidst a government shutdown and looming health care crisis of Republicans’ making.

Earlier this year, Trump’s OMB Director Russell Vought said, “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected … When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains … We want to put them in trauma.” 🧵

Breaking news: President Trump will impose a new 100 percent tariff on goods from China, escalating tensions after Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued new export restrictions that upended months of trade negotiations between the two countries.

I’m fighting for Lester and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who could lose their health care — and millions more who will see their costs skyrocket if Congressional Republicans strip those tax credits away.

Richmond’s Mama J’s co-owner Lester Johnson is one of 400,000 Virginians who purchases health insurance through the Virginia Insurance Marketplace. 

Without the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits, his premium will double in January.

I urge all parties to pursue a path toward peace and restraint and avoid any actions that may inflame tensions at this sensitive time.

I remain cautiously optimistic that this agreement will allow for meaningful progress towards a lasting peace for everyone in the region.

A hunger crisis is ongoing across Gaza, including the severe malnutrition of children and vulnerable populations. Members of the international community must act swiftly to save lives, rebuild Gaza and provide stability and relief to the region.

The success of this agreement will require steadfast diplomacy by all involved parties to end the war and build on this critical first phase.

As we turn our sights to a post-war Gaza, we must support a surge of humanitarian aid to Palestinians and restore critical infrastructure.

I welcome the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which will return hostages to their families, provide much-needed relief for innocent civilians after unbearable suffering in Gaza, ensure Israel’s security and serve as a pivotal first step in securing sustained peace in the region. 🧵
