This week, I visited Eugene Triplett's fifth-generation family farm in Culpeper.

As the only Virginian on the Ag Committee, I was honored to visit his farm, hear his story, and discuss how I'm working to save programs that help him sell produce to local churches and schools.
February is Black History Month. 

This month, we honor and celebrate the rich history and contributions of Black Americans in Virginia and across the United States.

Join me as we recommit to confronting inequities and working together to build a more just and inclusive America for all.

When preventable deaths occur in the military, leaders stand down operations to review policies, retrain personnel, and implement stronger safety protocols. 

DHS must do no less. (1/2)

The death of Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents was barbaric, heartbreaking — and completely preventable. 
 
Those who took his life too soon must be held accountable and Secretary Noem must go.

One year later, our hearts are still with the families, friends, and loved ones of the 67 people lost in the collision near DCA.

I’m grateful to all of the first responders who were on the scene that day and served with courage and compassion.

Thank you to the VA Department of Transportation, VA Department of Emergency Management, VA State Police, VA National Guard, VA Department of Health, and all agencies who kept Virginians safe during this weekend’s winter storm.

Please continue to stay safe and travel with caution.

This month, the world watched in horror as Renee Good and Alex Pretti were brutally gunned down on the streets of Minneapolis. 
 
Americans should not fear being murdered by federal agents for exercising their first amendment rights.

Alex Pretti was a VA nurse. Renee Good was a poet and mother of three.  
 
They were community members, neighbors, and beloved sons and daughters.  
 
But the Trump admin has attempted to smear them as “domestic terrorists” and “monsters.” (1/2)

Secretary Noem has used violence against American citizens, violated the law, and abused her power.

This is not who we are as a nation. Secretary Noem must be removed immediately.

I am deeply disturbed that Rep. Ilhan Omar was charged by an agitator at a town hall last night.

Violence and intimidation have no place in our society. Trump needs to turn down the temperature of his dangerous rhetoric.

The attacker must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
A man attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar while she was speaking during a town hall meeting in Minneapolis, according to local police. The man used a syringe to spray an unknown liquid at Omar.

The man was immediately arrested and booked on suspicion of third-degree assault. https://wapo.st/3LHLEp4

This year, I nominated exceptional Virginians to U.S. Service Academies. It was an honor to recognize them at a reception.
 
As a 25-year Army veteran, watching the next generation step forward to serve is meaningful.  
 
I’m proud of the nominees and grateful to the families for their support.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust and the millions of others persecuted by the Nazis.
 
We must never forget this horrific chapter in history, and we must recommit ourselves to standing against hate in all forms.

The remains of the last hostage held in Gaza have been identified and will be returned home for burial. 
 
No family should ever have to endure such loss or prolonged uncertainty — and all hostages held in the region must be returned to their families without delay.
Remains of last Israeli hostage found in Gaza, paving way for next phase of ceasefire
The return of Ran Gvili's body, which will mark an end to the more than two-year saga for captives' families, is supposed to be followed by a partial reopening of the Rafah crossing with Egypt.

I’m outraged. This weekend, the world watched in horror as federal ICE agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. (1/6)

I hope everyone is continuing to stay safe in this winter weather! ❄️ 

Please stay home if you are able. The Virginia Department of Transportation advises Virginians to stay off the roads as they remain in icy conditions.

Virginia, stay updated on snow clearing following this weekend's storm!  

You can track the progress of snow plows in real time with the Virginia Department of Transportation plow tracker map to see where crews are working. Stay off the roads if you can!

I am horrified that Congressman Maxwell Frost was assaulted in a cowardly, bigoted attack last night.

I am beyond grateful that he is alright and that the suspect was apprehended.

We must unequivocally condemn hate and political violence in all forms.
January 25, 2026 at 8:00 PM
Virginia, a winter storm is on the way! ❄️  

Stay safe and plan to stay inside this weekend.  

Visit www.vaemergency.gov for helpful resources to prepare for snow and icy conditions.

I’m proud to have received a “A” on the End Citizens United Action Fund 2026 Anti-Corruption Scorecard! 

The levers of government should not be auctioned to the highest bidder.  

I'll keep fighting for policies that will restore Virginians' trust in government — you have my word.

Trump promised to put America first, but his tariffs have increased grocery costs and harmed farmers.  

The Farm and Family Relief Act delivers real relief for the hardworking Americans and agricultural communities that feed Virginia.  

I’m proud to support this commonsense legislation.
January 23, 2026 at 6:03 PM
Thank you to the PWC Police Department and PWC Fire and Rescue for briefing my office on their plan to keep our community safe from harsh weather conditions this weekend.   
  
One message was clear: stay off the roads if you can!

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
  
As a proud member of the Reproductive Caucus, I will keep working to protect Virginians’ access to vital reproductive care. 
  
These deeply personal health decisions belong to patients, not the government.

Trump’s talk of taking over Greenland undermines America's national security, strains our relationships with key allies, and weakens our standing in the world. 

The United States must not bargain over allied territory.
January 22, 2026 at 8:01 PM
It’s no secret that energy costs are going up, not down.  

That’s why I’m proud to join @reprileyny.bsky.social in launching the Congressional Lowering Utility Bills Caucus.   

While Trump plays political games with people’s pocketbooks, we're focused on lowering costs for hardworking Americans.
January 22, 2026 at 6:14 PM
Hey POTUS, maybe spend less time threatening to take over Greenland and more time making life affordable for the Americans you are actually supposed to serve.
