Stopping illicit fentanyl requires every part of DHS to work together. My bipartisan bill improves coordination, strengthens data-sharing, & ensures DHS is measuring what works to keep this drug out of our communities. Today, the House passed the bill. Now it's time for the Senate to do the same.

(1/3) Gerry Connolly was a giant of public service. He was a bulwark for postal workers, a fierce defender of federal employees, and a tireless champion for Fairfax.

Secretary Mullin tried to keep Trump’s mass deportation machine out of the headlines. Now a hard-working father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, is dead. This was preventable. Republicans rejected our life-saving reforms. Congress must rein in this agenda before more lives are lost.

We need Todd Blanche under oath answering these questions. Survivors deserve justice. The American people deserve the truth. The cover-up must end.

Todd Blanche says the remaining Epstein files don’t need to be released because they’re “duplicative.” Fine. Release every file and let the American people decide. Blanche has spent months protecting Trump instead of delivering transparency. That’s why he’s unfit to lead the DOJ.

Todd Blanche, Trump’s personal lawyer, has led the illegal cover up of the Epstein Files. Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche will be complicit in that cover up.

Kash Patel is using taxpayer dollars to buy BMWs. Americans are struggling to afford groceries and fill their gas tanks. Trump and his appointees are living large. Your family is footing the bill.

The FBI never interviewed Epstein’s lawyer, his accountant, or the primary financier of his sex trafficking. Our investigation uncovered major gaps, and new allegations have come to light. Trump’s DOJ cannot bury this. It must reopen the investigation and follow every lead.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's death demands a full, independent investigation.   This administration, ICE, DHS, and the FBI have not presented an ounce of evidence to support their version of what happened.   His family deserves justice.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive. Trump’s mass deportation machine isn’t about keeping communities safe. It’s about power, intimidation, and cruelty. His family deserves justice and accountability.

Trump held another victory lap while his amateur negotiators failed to deliver the agreement Americans were promised. It’s time to end this failed war.

(1/2) Thank you to the Mount Vernon Springfield Chamber of Commerce for inviting me to their July meeting. It was great to connect with local business owners to discuss supporting small businesses, strengthening our workforce, and growing Northern Virginia’s economy.

Donald Trump has called affordability a "hoax," a "con job," and now a "phony word."   Instead of dismissing the problem, he should start focusing on solutions.

It's one thing to know Donald Trump is corrupt. It's another to watch him profit from the presidency while you struggle to afford groceries, gas, and rent.   Trump isn't focused on making your life more affordable. He's focused on making himself richer.

Let's look at Todd Blanche's record at the DOJ: - He helped oversee the botched release of the Epstein files - Has continued to withhold unredacted records - Now his DOJ is trying to block the release of his Epstein-related communications   That's not someone who should be leading the DOJ.

(1/2) Millions of Americans have lost access to reproductive health care since the overturning of Roe.   Federal workers can be required to relocate to states with abortion restrictions. They shouldn't have to choose between their career and the care they need.

Trump finally said the quiet part out loud. He's using the presidency to enrich himself.   Whatever happened to "drain the swamp"?

DHS’s cruel immigration tactics are hurting children.   After a one-year-old was pepper-sprayed, I asked CBP a simple question: Was anyone held accountable?   They couldn’t answer.

The DOJ is still withholding Epstein files despite a judge demanding answers. Why? Todd Blanche’s upcoming testimony should be under oath and on camera. If there’s nothing to hide, there should be nothing to fear from full transparency.

(1/2): Happy Fourth of July, VA-11! I kicked off the day by joining Mount Vernon Springfield Chamber of Commerce, Supervisor Lusk, families, & neighbors at the Kingstowne 2.5K Fun Run to celebrate our nation’s birthday.

Draft post: Trump promised to put America first. Instead, he's putting himself first.  While Americans struggle to afford the basics, he's collecting luxury gifts, building himself a ballroom, and profiting from one corrupt scheme after another.

Trump and Congressional Republicans are celebrating the one-year anniversary of their signature bill. More than 5 million Americans have lost their health care because of it. They took coverage away from you to give another tax break to the ultra-wealthy.

Trump wants the Postal Service to interfere with mail ballots. That's voter suppression, plain and simple. I joined 170 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in demanding this unlawful proposal be rejected. The Postal Service's job is to deliver Americans' ballots, not become an obstacle to democracy.

Trump keeps finding new ways to monetize the Presidency. His sons are tied to a Kazakhstan mining project now backed by up to $1.6 billion of your tax dollars. His family stands to profit big time. Why are Republicans letting this slide?

An extreme heat wave is expected across Virginia this holiday weekend. Stay informed, take precautions, and look out for one another. Need a place to cool off? Find a Cooling Center using the Virginia Department of Health’s interactive map or call 2-1-1 to find one near you.

Imagine telling your boss: "We couldn't get our work done because we were fighting with each other... so we decided to start vacation early." That's exactly what House Republicans just did.

This week marks one year since Trump signed the "Big Beautiful Bill."   A year later, millions have lost health care. Families are struggling to put food on the table. And Republicans are celebrating.   They gutted programs you rely on so billionaires could get another tax break.

Today we celebrate the postal workers who help keep our communities running. Thank you for your hard work, your commitment to public service, and everything you do to connect people across our country. Happy National Postal Worker Day!

A one-year-old was pepper-sprayed by DHS. Read that again. ProPublica found DHS agents used tear gas or pepper spray on 79 children. I asked CBP if any officers have been disciplined for tear-gassing kids. They couldn’t answer.

Donald Trump's top priority isn't lowering your grocery bill. It's making it harder for you to vote.   The SAVE Act would create new barriers to voter registration, hitting women, those serving in the military, and rural communities the hardest.   This is voter suppression, plain and simple.
