President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, lowering drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs and capping annual out-of-pocket expenses.

Every Republican in Congress voted against it.

Nice try, though.

Today marks 5 years since a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. We must never forget how fragile democracy is and must work to ensure that we protect it for future generations of Americans.

I am deeply concerned by reports of U.S. military strikes in Venezuela and the capture of President Maduro. There is no question that Nicolás Maduro is a brutal and corrupt leader who has inflicted enormous harm on the Venezuelan people.

The Trump administration has failed to share any new information that supports this sudden and sweeping move to halt all offshore wind development, including a project off the coast of Virginia that is already almost complete and operational.

Trump didn’t inherit a bad economy—he created one.

After weeks of delayed jobs data, the numbers confirm what working families already know: rising costs, instability, and chaos.

This isn’t leadership. It’s failure by design.

A bipartisan majority in Congress supports extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

I am here with my House Democratic colleagues demanding Speaker Johnson allow the House to vote on extending these cost-saving credits today.

I was honored to speak at the statue unveiling of Barbara Johns to replace Robert E. Lee.

At just 16 years old, her strength & belief in equality and justice helped change the nation for the better. I can't think of a better example of a Virginian to represent the Commonwealth in the U.S. Capitol.

Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

President Trump’s comments are beneath the dignity of the presidency.

Everyone should condemn them.

One of the downsides of serving in President Donald Trump’s movement is that the moral high ground is extremely unsteady terrain.
