Five years ago, we watched in horror as a mob, urged on by the President of the United States, stormed the Capitol to try to take by force what they could not win at the ballot box.
Today on #January6th, we remember the officers and those affected in this grave attack on our democracy and nation.

Without Congressional approval, the Trump Administration’s illegal military strikes on Venezuela have thrown us into frighteningly uncharted territory.
In the process, they have put our servicemembers at risk, damaged our reputation as a global leader and threatened to drag our nation into war. 🧵

Dear Virginia’s Fourth…
I’m heartbroken to hear of the sudden passing of Bill Martin and extend my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at the Valentine Museum.
Bill and I both loved sharing our Commonwealth’s history. While his legacy will live on in the stories he brought to light, he will be dearly missed.

A huge thank you to our Fall 2025 interns for your service to Virginia’s Fourth District!
This semester, our interns endured a government shutdown, snowy weather and a busy end to the year. We can’t wait to see where you go and what you do next!

A. Lincoln James served Trinity Baptist Church of Richmond for 45 years, but his impact on the broader Richmond community and the Commonwealth is immeasurable.
I am saddened by his passing, but know God has welcomed him into Heaven with, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

We now have the 218 signatures needed to bring a three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits to the floor for a vote.
Let’s bring relief to the millions worried about their health insurance premiums spiking next year.
Speaker Mike Johnson must bring this to the floor immediately.

After months of inaction, Republicans introduced a last-minute package that fails to address the health care crisis they created.
