Seven years ago, VA-11 resident & Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi operatives with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s approval. Today, President Trump rolled out the red carpet for him and didn’t have the guts to raise human rights abuses. Disgusting.
President Trump on Jamal Khashoggi: "You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happened."

I just voted on the House Floor to release the Epstein files. Trump has always had the power to do this himself, but he’s scrambled to keep them hidden. Today isn’t about his smokescreens — it’s about taking a real step toward justice for the survivors. #releasethefiles

President Trump and Speaker Johnson keep calling the push to release the Epstein files a “hoax”. Tell that to the survivors of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Survivors are calling for transparency and justice. Today, the House will finally vote on it. #ReleaseTheFiles

.@realDonaldTrump I’m glad you finally realized that you are about to lose this Epstein vote and are now encouraging Republicans to VOTE YES. But you have the power to release them today without a vote. Stop the cover-up, RELEASE THE FILES!

Donald Trump is building a golden ballroom for him and his buddies to have parties. Meanwhile, American families are facing skyrocketing health care premiums and rising grocery costs.

Fairfax Democrats delivered record margins to elect Abigail Spanberger and the Democratic ticket this year. @MarkWarnerVA and I joined @sullydems and @dranesvilledems to thank their volunteers and gear up for 2026.

Trump is frantically pressuring House Republicans to join his cover-up of the Epstein Files. In mere days, they’ll have to choose: protect rich, powerful men who raped and abused young girls & women— or stand with the survivors. What is Trump so afraid of? #ReleaseTheFiles

If you're currently receiving Social Security, or if you're under 55 and you expect to ever receive Social Security, please read and re-post this. There are critical facts about the system and its returns, that you MUST understand. This is not a screed that's for or against.

Republicans passed the largest health care cut in American history and are now pushing hardworking Americans off their coverage. Democrats have been fighting to cancel the cuts and save health care.

Trump’s behavior today says it all—he’s panicking and desperately trying to get House Republicans to pull their names off the discharge petition. Americans deserve full transparency. #ReleaseTheFiles

Newly released emails suggest Trump knew about Epstein’s abuse and spent time with one of the victims (1/2).

Why is he SO focused on this?
Trump himself called Boebert, regarding her signing onto the Epstein petition and spoke to her yesterday, I am told. Trump playing phone tag with Mace. So far, they are not planning to remove their names from the petition.

For months I’ve been asking why Trump is covering up the Epstein files. Newly-released emails suggest that Trump knew about Epstein’s abuse and that Trump himself spent “hours” with a victim at Epstein’s homes. It’s time to #ReleaseTheFiles.

With Donald Trump, the cruelty is the point. But politicians who inflict pain on the people they represent will ultimately be punished at the ballot box. We saw that on Tuesday around the country, and we’ll see it again in the midterms.

House Republicans created a health care crisis they now refuse to address. Now Virginians are seeing their premiums skyrocket. Republicans in Virginia saw the consequences at the ballot box last Tuesday. They’ll see it again next year if they don’t work with us to fix it.
