Trump has launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk. I’m calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on my War Powers Resolution that blocks war with Iran without congressional approval.
Our Afghan allies risked everything to help the United States. Now Trump plans to send their relatives back to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Repaying their sacrifice with betrayal is shameful and will make it much harder for America to secure assistance in future conflicts.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw

Fired up in Charlottesville last night for @tomperriello! Tom will show up, listen, and deliver for Virginians who want lower costs—and we’ve got to show up for him! Knock a door. Call a friend. Make your plan to vote. Let’s flip the Fifth and take back the House!
My heart (and stomach) is full from such a wonderful night at Pi-Napo here in Charlottesville, spending time with friends, family, and supporters. Thank you to the wonderful @timkaine for serenading us!
Translation: “Netanyahu and Pete and Lindsey bamboozled me into an idiotic and illegal war in Iran. Props to the rare con artist better than me!”

I visited Ukraine and other European allies in June to discuss US support for Ukraine. They all urged us to pass the Graham sanctions bill to show bipartisan Congressional support for Ukraine even amidst Trump’s shameful capitulation to Putin. We showed whose side we’re on and Trump has made clear whose side he’s on. American voters—take note!
BREAKING: President Trump puts new Russia sanctions passed by Congress on hold, saying a waiver is in the U.S. national interest. apnews.com/article/russia-sa…
What an embarrassment for a great nation to have a leader who no one would ever encourage their children to emulate.

As families grapple with the high cost of living, Trump is busy building yet another monument to himself with taxpayer dollars. Now he’s shutting Virginia out of the process. We need action to lower costs for Americans, not vanity projects that will make our airspace less safe.
GOP heading into mid-terms facing voters angry about sky high costs on energy, health care, food, gas. So what do Senate R’s spend September on in Congress?
—pushing a bill to help Crypto industry (and failing)
—voting down a resolution to end the Iran War
—running down the clock on a college sports bill that the House can’t even take until November
Lame!
Each Republican Senator who voted against the resolution to end the Iran War—including those in tough 2026 races—was the deciding vote!

Joined local Dems at Donkey Days! SWVA is fired up to elect @MarkWarnerVA and Joy Powers to Congress and vote yes on the three constitutional amendments to protect reproductive freedom, marriage equality, and voting rights!
Jim Ukrop played an irreplaceable role in Richmond’s renaissance and also served as one of my first and most consistent supporters as I entered public life. I visited him recently to tell him how much he meant to me and will miss him deeply.
Richmonders remember the life and legacy of Jim Ukrop
