Even the SCC staff thinks this merger is a bad idea. They agree with @SenWarren and me that the merger risks higher utility bills for Virginians, reduces competition, and creates the largest utility monopoly in the country. Dominion and NextEra have not made the case for how they would protect Virginians long term. vpm.org/news/2026-10-19/scc-…

Farmers are hurting because of: - Trump's tarrifs closing export markets - Trump's Iran war raising fuel costs - Trump's freezes on grants for farms - Trump's favoring big corporations over small- and medium- sized farms This is just a band-aid for a crisis created by this administration.

I can confirm that my office in Leesburg received an envelope containing a suspicious substance. The office was promptly evacuated. Thank you to the Leesburg Police, Loudoun County Fire and Rescue and their Hazmat team, and the Capitol Police for your swift response. These acts of political intimidation have no place in our country.

Democrats have a plan to bring down prices. That includes putting an end to Trump’s unnecessary tariffs and war with Iran.

This is not going after “the worst of the worst.” We must support our servicemembers and their families, not let ICE tear them apart.

Trump is doing exactly what we warned: undermining Congress’ authority, abandoning Ukraine, and letting Putin off the hook. Republicans refused to let us vote on stronger Russia sanctions. Now we - and our allies - are paying the price. We need change now. We need to return to Washington, reclaim Congress’ authority, and pass stronger sanctions that hold Putin accountable.

My heart goes out to the three young children and the teacher who were killed at Silver Rail Elementary. My thoughts are with all of their families and loved ones, and we hope those who are in critical condition will make it through. Our country cannot continue to let this happen in our schools. I will never stop working in Congress for sensible gun violence prevention until we can ensure the safety of every kid, teacher, and parent in America.

We must combat and condemn the rise of hate in our country. Hateful violence should have no home in our country.

We need to act now to address the rise in South Asian and Hindu hate in this country. I'm grateful for the individuals who notified law enforcement and everyone whose actions prevented this attack. I will continue fighting to ensure that every community can worship safely.

CAPAC Leadership Statement on Mass Shooting Plot Targeting Indian Americans at Hindu Place of Worship

House Republicans repeatedly chose tax cuts for the largest corporations over affordable health care for the American people. Virginians are literally #sickofit. It's time for new leadership.

The livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution should have never been on the table in the first place. Pete Hegseth must be removed. thehill.com/homenews/adminis…

Thank you Sterling for inviting me to speak at Pueblo Unido Day. Proud to support our Latino community in Virginia. #HispanicHeritageMonth

We are proud to have worked with the VFW Post 7728 and TACOM to secure a Sherman tank in honor of a true hero. Cpl Robert Overkott Sr. fought in WW2 and operated a Sherman tank himself on D Day. I hope this tank can serve as a symbol to those who drive by of what service, bravery, and heroism is. Thank you to anyone who has served and to our current servicemembers who have sacrificed so much for us.

So Trump's "deal" with Russia is to: -pay Russia to import diesel (which won't lower energy costs) -so that they can take the money and bomb Ukraine -and use it to help Iran bomb Americans and our allies Why are we here? Because House Republicans refused to let us vote on a stronger sanctions bill. Instead, they passed an optional one, and this is the result. We need new leadership in Congress FAST.

Here are the other countries that carry out public executions: Iran North Korea Afghanistan Also ISIS and other terrorist groups. This is un-American. Call it off.
