Donald Trump initiated a reckless war of choice with Iran, but that does not mean Congress must continue funding ICE without meaningful reforms, especially after ICE agents have terrorized communities, violated the Constitution, and killed American citizens.

The war is quickly expanding, and it risks destabilizing the entire region. It is putting many more troops and civilian lives in danger. By illegally launching this war, President Trump has made us less safe.

I voted against President Trump’s reckless and illegalΒ war in Iran. We have already lost American troops, and many others are injured. In their briefing to Congress this week, theΒ Trump Administration could not articulate any credible rationale for the war nor a plan to bring it to an end.

Lawmakers push DOL for β€˜fully responsive’ answers to questions about black lung benefits - Safety+Health Magazine They’re asking: It is true the agency has told mine operators it won’t enforce a recent rule?

The Trump Administration is allegedly not enforcing a rule that requires coal operators to contribute their fair share to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund.

This rule protects miners and taxpayers.

Secretary Noem must resign.

If she won’t, Congress must impeach her.

President Trump was elected on a promise to end regime change wars. He has done the opposite.

He got us into this mess when he ended President Obama’s nuclear deal. Now he launched a military operation against Iran without Congressional authorization.

Congratulations to my friend, Versability Resources CEO Kasia Grzelkowski for receiving the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce First Citizen Award.

She is such a worthy recipient because of her advocacy for people with disabilities and her commitment to this community

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

Just one of his countless lies tonight.

In their One Big Ugly Bill, President Trump and Congressional Republicans slashed health care while giving ICE a $75 billion slush fund being used to terrorize communities.

President Trump has a strained relationship with facts and the truth.

10 million Americans are losing their Medicaid as a result of the largest cut to Medicaid in American history under Donald Trump's One Big Ugly Bill.

I invited Rena Bumbray-Graves to by my guest to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address tonight.

She is a home care worker and member of SEIU Virginia 512 who lost her health insurance due to Republicans’ refusal to extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.

Donald Trump often has a strained relationship with facts and the truth, and that is especially true during his State of the Union addresses.

I have no doubt Governor Spanberger will level with the American people and make Virginians proud.

On my way back to Washington, DC.

Donald Trump is delivering his State of the Union address tomorrow night, but we already know that he has failed to focus on the needs of the American people.

US economy slowed more than expected at end of 2025 A fresh reading of GDP arrived amid elevated inflation and sluggish hiring.

Costs are up and the economy is slowing down.

Donald Trump’s economic policies are failing American families.

Earlier today I visited Exotic Nutrition and Ironclad Distillery Co.

Both of these small businesses in Newport News have been hurt by the Trump Tariffs.

American small businesses and families cannot afford Donald Trump’s chaotic and reckless tariffs.

Thankfully, the Supreme Court correctly concluded that the Trump tariffs are unlawful.

It is time for the White House and Congressional Republicans to reverse course on their failed economic policies and stop worsening the affordability crisis.

Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs and trade wars have been chaotic and reckless, raising costs for small businesses and adding roughly $1,700 to American families’ expenses since he took office.

That is why I have opposed these tariffs and voted just last week to strike down the tariffs on Canada.

Tidewater Community College will now play a vital role in our community by receiving federal and state funds to train workers for high-skill careers with good wages and benefits.
