    Virginia is honored to be able to help our Afghan allies by providing resources and housing. That’s why we are asking the administration to make sure we’re prepared to continue assisting this worthy operation.

    On this first day of Hispanic Heritage Month, I join millions of Americans in recognizing and celebrating the immense contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx communities to our nation. Virginia and the US are infinitely stronger, richer, and better off because of our diversity.

    This legislation includes commonsense measures like automatic and online voter registration, uniform early voting, a public holiday for Election Day, and improving vote by mail access. It also works to promote election integrity and prevent interference and partisan subversion.

    I was a civil rights lawyer for 17 years, lived through a violent attack on the Capitol by people wanting to overturn an election, and am watching state legislatures scheme to reduce the ability to vote. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy—we must protect it.

    Today I'm joining my colleagues to introduce the Freedom to Vote Act—legislation that will ensure eligible voters across the country get access to the ballot. We must protect the right to vote and strengthen our democracy, and this is a critical step forward in that fight.

    Proud to see this comprehensive voting rights protection law being signed today—Virginia is leading the way on this existential issue, and Congress must follow suit. A voting rights bill is the best antidote to the Big Lie and dangerous attacks on our democracy, period.

    Honored to join Arlington Fire Chief David Povlitz today at the Arlington County Fire Department September 11 Memorial Ceremony. We're here with 200 first responders—many of whom responded to the Pentagon on the day of the attacks. I'm profoundly grateful for their brave service.

    And it's why I've been steadfast in opposing wars initiated without congressional debate and approval—the consequences are so great that initiation and maintenance of war must be done with care and close oversight. If the last 20 years have taught us anything, it should be that.

    In my work as a member of the Armed Services Committee, I think about that sacrifice every day. It’s why I'm so committed to ensuring our troops have the resources to defend our nation and that our veterans and military families have the support and benefits we promised them.

    The 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is a somber and emotional occasion, particularly in Virginia. Our Commonwealth suffered directly that day, and thousands of Virginians have served and sacrificed in the 20 years of war since then.
