We lost my sister-in-law, Tayloe, to Alzheimer’s this year. I know how painful this battle is and my prayers are with Andy and his family. I'm grateful that my bipartisan bill to support those with Alzheimer’s was extended last year and will keep working to build on it.

Trump giving his economy an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” will be news to the thousands of Virginians I’ve spoken to over the past few months struggling with high costs.

Good news: my bipartisan legislation repealing the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for war against Iraq is in this year’s defense bill. When the President signs this bill into law, finally closing the book on this forever war, it will be a historic victory for the American people.

A lot of folks are already stretched thin during the holiday season, but Trump’s economic chaos is about to make things worse. Just about everything, from toys to food, is more expensive than last year. I'm going to keep challenging Trump's tariffs and work to bring down costs.

Today, we recognize the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We owe a great debt to the men and women who bravely served during WWII to win the war. We will always honor their memory and sacrifice, including by working to protect the world they fought to create.

Miners take incredible risks to power our communities. That’s why I’m cosponsoring bipartisan legislation to designate today as National Miners Day, honoring their service, sacrifice, and contributions across VA and the country. I will keep advocating for miners and their

A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for freezing drizzle between 7pm tonight-1am Saturday east of US-15 & along the I-95 corridor. A light glaze of ice is expected. Be extra cautious if walking or travelling on elevated/untreated surfaces tonight.

Over a million layoffs this year—54% higher than last year and the most since Covid hit in 2020. Trump = Higher prices, fewer jobs, slower growth.

Snow is expected overnight Thursday into Friday morning. Crews are pretreating and will continue working through the storm. Plan ahead, check road conditions, and give crews room to work. Stay safe & stay updated: https://t.co/vlBX5gT9Vk

Trump claims he’s against narcotrafficking. Then why did he pardon a drug kingpin who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for bringing over 400 tons of cocaine into America? With Trump, the rules are often different for rich guys. We need to get to the bottom of this.

Today’s a big day. I’m reintroducing the Dream Act for the last time of my career. I’ve fought for Dreamers for over two decades. The American people are demanding common sense, bipartisan immigration reform. This is part of it.

It's International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As we work to advance the rights of people with disabilities, Trump is trying to gut their educational protections and limit their access to health care. We can't let that happen. I'll keep fighting for equal opportunities.

I may not have Spotify, but as a music lover, I wanted in on the fun. Here are a few of the songs that helped me get through traffic jams on I-95 (thankfully not for any 27-hour stretches this year), late nights, and early mornings. What were your favorite songs this year?

Shredded cheese sold in dozens of states recalled due to potential for metal fragment contamination

Republicans gave the top 1% a trillion-dollar tax cut but refuse to work with Democrats to prevent healthcare costs from spiking. Families shouldn’t pay the price for Republican inaction. WATCH @SenTimKaine:

Empowering Americans with digital skills is crucial in helping them succeed in the workforce. That's why I'm introducing a bill to expand access to digital training programs to help people develop these in-demand skills—benefiting our workers, employers, and economy.

Today, Trump announced his intention to launch strikes on Venezuela, escalating chances of a new forever war and needlessly risking the lives of our servicemembers. I'm doing everything in my power to stop him. Here's how:

Trump’s pardon of drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández—who allegedly said he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos” by flooding the U.S. with cocaine—is disgusting. Trump isn't serious about protecting the U.S. from drug trafficking.

Thanks for joining us! Here is the interview, as it aired live:

The holidays should be a time for reconnecting with family—not financial anxiety because Trump hasn’t brought prices down like he promised. I’ll keep working to challenge Trump’s tariffs and economic chaos. https://t.co/VxhOgVR2A8
