Dad. Husband. VA-11 Congressman. Rep. Connolly’s longtime Chief of Staff. Official account.
Trump’s DOJ says it won’t meet today’s deadline to release the Epstein files. This smells like a White House cover-up.

The law requires ALL non-exempt records to be turned in by midnight.

The victims deserve justice and accountability.

Under President Trump, Americans are paying more for groceries, more for housing, more for utilities, and federal workers are being told to accept a meager 1 percent pay raise.

That is not just inadequate. It is insulting.

(1/2):I joined @jenniferboysko.com, Delegates Irene Shin, and Karen Keys-Gamarra for their Holiday Town Hall this evening to give some updates about the health care crisis, attacks on federal employees, and our efforts to hold ICE and DHS officials accountable.

Trump’s Chief of Staff says Trump & Jeffrey Epstein were “young, single playboys together.”

Epstein wasn’t a “playboy.” He was a convicted sexual predator.

That language shows the moral rot in the White House surrounding the Epstein investigation.

This Administration has made a mockery of the Pendleton Act.

I asked @repemilyrandall.bsky.social, @repyassansari.bsky.social, and Rep. Adelita Grijalva a simple question: can their constituents wait for Congress to extend the ACA tax credits?

The answer was overwhelming — no.

Speaker Johnson, we need to vote today.

What a beautiful celebration of light and community at the Main Street Gelt Drop tonight.

Grateful to Chabad Lubavitch of Northern Virginia for bringing neighbors together for a Hanukkah menorah lighting.

We have 218 signatures on the discharge petition to extend the ACA premium tax credits.

But Speaker Johnson is refusing to bring the bill to the floor. Premiums are set to skyrocket on Jan. 1.

The time to act is now.

(1/2): From Farmville to the U.S. Capitol - Barbara Johns’ fight against segregation at age 16 now stands in bronze, replacing a symbol of division and treason with a symbol of unity and American values.

Enough stalling, Speaker Mike Johnson.

We can prevent ACA health care premiums from skyrocketing.

Congress shouldn’t leave for the holidays until we vote.
December 17, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Speaker Johnson: Bring the bill to the floor IMMEDIATELY.

(1/2) Trump says the impacts of his economic policies haven’t kicked in yet. Unfortunately, they have.

Hardworking families are facing skyrocketing prices as they shop for holiday gifts, with popular items costing 26% more than last year.

Congratulations to Rachna Sizemore Heizer on being sworn in as Braddock District Supervisor!

I know Rachna will be a tremendous leader for the district and a strong partner as we serve Fairfax families.

Trump’s White House Chief of Staff says Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were “young, single playboys together.”

I’ve been asking for months: why hasn’t Trump released the full Epstein files?

Every day, the questions grow.

I’m glad the Trump Administration now recognizes the need for skilled technologists in the federal government.

Unfortunately, they spent the past year firing or forcing out thousands of them.

Days ago Trump said the economy was “A+++++.”

Today’s jobs report says otherwise: unemployment is 4.6%, the highest in 4+ years.

Another Trump failure.
December 16, 2025 at 7:22 PM
This is about justice and transparency for the victims & survivors.

The American people deserve the truth.

Trump can release the files today. Why hasn't he?

Trump calls affordability a “hoax.”

But Fairfax small businesses like Sarah Wells Bags are living the reality as Trump’s tariffs squeeze them this holiday season.

I’m fighting to reverse these tariffs and lower costs so small business owners can thrive & serve our community.

(1/2) When it’s a tax credit for the middle class, Republicans label it a subsidy and say it’s too expensive. When it’s for billionaires, they call it a tax credit and add it to the national debt.
December 15, 2025 at 8:47 PM
Trump’s DOJ is under subpoena to provide Epstein material to Congress, but they haven’t complied.

The law now says the files must be released this Friday. Trump could release them today. Why hasn’t he?

With new photos surfacing, the questions continue to mount.
December 15, 2025 at 6:21 PM
My heart goes out to the Reiner family.

A tremendous talent who brought humor and joy to so many. It is shameful and disgusting that the President would post something so vile as the Reiner family grieves.

Sad and pathetic.

Tonight, the celebration of Hanukkah begins.

During these difficult times, may the next eight nights bring peace, light, and strength to our Jewish neighbors across Fairfax, and all who celebrate.

Chag Sameach!

Our community is filled with those who use the holiday season to find ways to give back!

I was thrilled to join Kids Give Back at their Holiday Gift Baskets for Babies Family Volunteer event where we assembled over 90 baskets for new families in need!

Tons of holiday spirit at this morning’s Burke and Vienna Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department Pancake Breakfasts!

Thank you to all of our fire and rescue volunteers and staff who help keep our communities safe during this holiday season.

Trump brushes off the latest photos of him and Epstein, but still won’t release the files.

We need to follow this investigation wherever it leads.

Why won’t Trump #ReleaseTheFiles?
