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.

Washington Republicans want to drive up health care costs for their own constituents. It’s time for them to show up to work and negotiate to save health care and reopen the government.

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.

This morning, I joined advocates, survivors, and community members at the Brady Vigil outside the NRA Headquarters to honor the lives lost to gun violence, and to continue my commitment to ending this epidemic.
Every life lost is a reminder of why we keep fighting for common sense gun laws.
