Perhaps the single most wasteful, inefficient failed initiative in history. Good riddance.

President Trump and Speaker Johnson keep calling the push to release the Epstein files a “hoax”. Tell that to the survivors of Epstein’s horrific crimes.
Survivors are calling for transparency and justice. Today, the House will finally vote on it.

Donald Trump is building a golden ballroom for him and his buddies to have parties.
Meanwhile, American families are facing skyrocketing health care premiums and rising grocery costs.

Republicans passed the largest health care cut in American history and are now pushing hardworking Americans off their coverage.
Democrats have been fighting to cancel the cuts and save health care.

Newly released emails suggest Trump knew about Epstein’s abuse and spent time with one of the victims.
Trump’s behavior says it all—he’s panicking and desperately trying to get House Republicans to pull their names off the discharge petition.
Americans deserve full transparency. #ReleaseTheFiles

House Republicans created a health care crisis they now refuse to address. Now Virginians are seeing their premiums skyrocket.
Republicans in Virginia saw the consequences of this at the ballot box last Tuesday. They’ll see it again next year if they don’t work with us to fix it.

With Donald Trump, the cruelty is the point.
But politicians who inflict pain on the people they represent will ultimately be punished at the ballot box.
We saw that on Tuesday around the country and we’ll see it again in the midterms.

The Senate Republican plan fails to address the skyrocketing health care costs caused by Trump Republican policies and doesn’t prevent Trump from slashing federal programs.
I’ll continue fighting for affordable health care this week, next month, next year, and always.

I visited food banks across Fairfax to see firsthand the devastating effects of the Trump Republican shutdown and his decision to cut off SNAP benefits.
Donald Trump needs to be the dealmaker he played on TV and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

There’s no “discussion” to be had here. The Trump Administration must follow the law and pay all federal employees when the shutdown ends.
This approach of threatening to do things that are illegal has failed throughout the shutdown and, yet, they persist.

Trump’s ego wants a stadium with his name on it. Millions are going hungry. Federal workers aren’t getting paid.
This is what he’s worried about during the longest shutdown in U.S. history?
The late Gerry Connolly said it best, a federal prison might be a better fit.

I’ve been criss-crossing Northern Virginia to get out the vote for tomorrow’s election and it’s clear that voters are ready for change.
Virginia Republicans like Winsome Sears have bent the knee to Donald Trump while he ravages our economy. It’s time for leaders with the courage to take him on.

Make no mistake, if Republicans retain control of Congress in 2026, they will repeal Obamacare and rip health care coverage from tens of millions of Americans.
