The truth is, the attack on Paul Pelosi is the awful consequence of increasingly violent political rhetoric. When election deniers, insurrectionists, and calls to violence are given a platform, democracy itself and the lives of political officials are in danger.

November is National Diabetes Month. We accomplished something huge this year and capped insulin at $35/month for folks on Medicare – a historic achievement. But Americans are still rationing insulin because of skyrocketing costs. We must get this provision passed FOR ALL.

Families need reliable, affordable child care options. When providers were most uncertain and in danger of closing, the American Rescue Plan funded & stabilized thousands of providers across Virginia so families weren’t left in the lurch.

FOLKS, today is the final day to submit your PSLF forms before the temporary waiver expires. If you’ve been waiting to submit, TODAY is the time to do it. Nothing spookier than losing out on benefits you’ve rightfully earned, so get it done!

Election Day could be a federal holiday – expanding access to the ballot box for thousands that work long hours or have distant commutes. All we need to do is pass the Freedom to Vote Act. I’m disappointed my Republican colleagues have repeatedly filibustered it.

Just wanted to make sure you saw the news – courtesy of the bipartisan infrastructure law, kids across Virginia are going to get to school in buses that are new, safe, and pollute way less.

I know what a critical resource the Metro is for NoVa, and that’s why I’ve worked to broker a plan for the safe & timely opening of the Silver Line. I’ll stay on top of this until it’s done and will always fight for projects that impact Virginians.

I think daily of the unimaginable loss of life we’ve witnessed in Ukraine. I remain closely monitoring the conflict and working to support our Ukrainian allies with military and humanitarian aid as they continue to hold out against unconscionable attacks.

Today, we remember the lives lost four years ago at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. We cannot let anti-semitism proliferate in our communities. I stand firmly with Jewish Americans and against hate speech and terror.

Funds from the American Rescue Plan have stabilized 4,970 child care programs across Virginia – allowing them to stay staffed and serve 317,500 children, giving parents the flexibility they need to work. This is critical funding for our kids and for stabilizing our economy.

The rise of Big Tech presents tremendous job and innovation opportunities, but when unregulated it can lead to crushing monopolies, privacy infringement, and more. I’m working in Congress to build a more transparent tech landscape.

Rising costs matter to me – it’s why I worked so hard to get the CHIPS Act passed & deployed so we can ease some of the supply chain snares that have contributed to price increases for so many goods.

U.S. charges 13 in cases that involve alleged plots to advance Chinese interests
The prosecutions are the latest example of the Justice Department's efforts to combat what U.S. officials say is a relentless effort by Beijing to steal American secrets and technology.

Earlier this year, we passed a seismic achievement and capped insulin costs for those on Medicare at $35/month. This will curb insulin rationing and save lives – it’s time to extend this provision to all.

This is the devastating reality in a country where doctors are afraid to provide life-sustaining medical care to women. Amanda developed sepsis and nearly died because doctors were not legally allowed to provide abortion care. It’s time to codify Roe.

TikTok appears to remain — despite the claims of its US executives — beholden to its China-based leadership. With each new report, there’s further evidence that TikTok’s claimed “independence” is illusory.

A year ago today, Senate Republicans filibustered the Freedom to Vote Act, which would strengthen election integrity and security, make it easier to register, and increase campaign finance transparency. The right to vote is fundamental, and I’m still fighting to protect it.
