Working families in VA-11 deserve results, and delivering for our community remains my top priority.

I was proud to secure more than $13.4 million to strengthen public safety, invest in higher education, protect clean water and our environment, and improve critical infrastructure.

Launched a final GOTV canvass for Tom Dannan before a fundraiser for my friend Jimmy Bierman. Fairfax needs leaders like them fighting for our teachers, students, parents and taxpayers.

Reminder if you live in Braddock you can vote for Tom tomorrow from 6 am - 7 pm at your regular polling place.

Public education is under attack in our country. My son is getting ready to start kindergarten and I know we need strong leaders like Tom Dannan on the School Board.

If you’re in the Braddock District, vote for Tom Dannan in the special election on Tuesday, March 3rd! Polls are open 6 AM - 7 PM. 🗳️

Congressional Republicans are not serious about getting the truth in this Epstein investigation.

Despite knowing that she had nothing to do with Epstein or his crimes, they insisting on deposing Hillary Clinton.

Chairman Comer is establishing a precedent for former presidents to testify before the Oversight Committee.

Donald Trump is mentioned tens of thousands of times in the Epstein files. Why haven’t Republicans demanded his testimony?

It’s only a golden age for crooks and grifters like Trump and his Epstein Class buddies.

We have clear testimony that Trump’s DHS is slashing training requirements for ICE agents—the very training designed to ensure officers know the limits of their authority, and to avoid the brutal tragedies that have occurred during this administration.

If my colleagues in Congress could show just an ounce of the courage that Jess and others have shown, we could get the transparency and accountability that they deserve.

Epstein survivor Jess Michaels will be my guest at tomorrow night’s State of the Union address. I want Trump and the American people to see Jess and her fellow survivors’ courage.

Senator Mark Warner has worked tirelessly to strengthen our economy and deliver results for Virginia families.

I’m proud to have his endorsement for re-election in Virginia’s 11th District.

Donald Trump’s tariffs were about his ego. He unilaterally picked the pockets of working families while lining the pockets of his billionaire buddies.

I’ve said it all along: American families cannot afford his ego.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a win for the rule of law and working families.

I’m honored by their support and especially honored by the overwhelming support from Prince William County and Manassas, the community that
raised me.

Virginia’s success depends on cooperation across local, state, and federal government. These leaders from across the redrawn 11th district are on the front lines of the challenges facing our communities.

Trump was back on the golf course today amid the partial government shutdown. Hopefully when he gets back he’ll be ready to negotiate to rein in DHS.

Democrats are ready whenever he is.

For a year the Trump administration has been dismantling parts of DHS that keep Americans safe. Laying off thousands at FEMA, CISA, and other agencies.

Now they’ve shut down the entire department rather than rein in their out of control mass deportation machine.

The DOJ is legally required to explain their redactions in the Epstein files.

After reviewing unredacted documents, it’s clear that they are continuing to coverup the names of individuals potentially involved in Epstein’s horrific crimes.

If Republicans want to shut down the government to avoid requiring judicial warrants before DHS smashes down your door, that’s their choice.

The American people won’t agree with it.

We can’t afford to wait until DHS kills someone else.

Trump and Republicans haven’t shown any real willingness to consider reforms to immigration enforcement, and they just passed a bill that allows DHS to continue the same chaos and lawlessness.

That’s why I voted No today.

Alex Pretti was killed by the Trump administration. They are trying to break us. But we are not broken.

We are stronger than ever—and we are making a difference.

Last night we brought together faith and advocacy leaders from across Northern Virginia to mourn Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and all those harmed by the brutality of DHS.

This moment is bigger than politics. It’s about our shared humanity.

Today I stood with federal workers outside VA headquarters as we mourned the loss of Alex Pretti—a VA ICU nurse, caregiver, and public servant killed by DHS.

We will keep organizing, keep showing up, and keep fighting to hold this administration accountable.

The Trump Administration to Minnesota: “Turn over your voter rolls and we’ll stop terrorizing your citizens!”

What the heck does that have to do with public safety?

From failing to deliver natural disaster relief and corruption scandals to lawless immigration enforcement and the killing of Alex Pretti, Kristi Noem has violated her oath of office.

She needs to be removed.

State and local law enforcement agencies across this country have some basic standards. Federal agencies should too.

The DHS funding bill needs explicit language reining in Trump’s out-of-control immigration enforcement, and violators need to be disciplined and fired.
