Under Trump, the job market is tanking. Republicans are focused on tax cuts for billionaires while shutting down the government and ripping healthcare away from millions. Virginia Republicans don't want to talk about the economy, job losses or the Trump shutdown at all.

Happy Labor Day! Workers are the backbone of Virginia, and House Democrats will always stand with them — fighting for fair wages, paid leave, and the dignity every worker has earned.

Republicans are working to raise prices on hardworking Virginians. They are too terrified to defy Trump kowtowing for his endorsement even as he destroys Virginia's economy and drives up the cost of healthcare and housing.

I'm honored to receive the Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Soaring Eagle Award from American Association for Justice. Thank you so much, trial lawyers!
I became a lawyer to fight for folks who’ve been overlooked and underestimated.

We flipped the House in 2023. Now we’re going to expand our majority.
Great to be with so many fired-up Democrats at the Blue Commonwealth Gala.
We’ve got the momentum. We’ve got the message. We’ve got the candidates— it’s general election time!

It’s rare to find someone as committed to service as Congressman Gerry Connolly, and even rarer to see such a lasting impact. Mellanda and I are deeply saddened by his passing and send our heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be truly missed by all that knew him.

Proud of what we got done this session—focused on putting Virginians first and making life more affordable. We took on the rising costs of housing, child care, health care, and more. Real progress, real relief.

Turns out Republicans/Musk efforts to bribe and buy an election failed! Wisconsin voters saw right through the chaos and rejected it. MAGA was embarrassed, DOGE got sent a message that we don't like big tax increases and the mistreatment of veterans. America won big!

We adjourned Sine Die, and I’m proud of the work we accomplished—passing bills and a budget that put Virginians first.
From lowering p-drug costs to tackling the housing crisis, delivering $1B+ in tax cuts, and investing $$$ in our schools, kids & families. The work continues.

Thank you @maddow.msnbc.com for having me on the show last night to talk about my committee to understand the impacts of federal workforce and funding cuts in Va.
