Yesterday, Rey from my team met with Chief Moody to discuss the priorities of the Fire Department of King George County.

Thank you for all you do to keep Virginians safe and healthy!

I’m leading bipartisan legislation to update a policy that blocks some veterans from transferring their earned GI Bill benefits to children adopted or born after they leave military service.

This is a commonsense way to keep the American dream alive.

🚨I'm leading a bipartisan bill with Rep. Kiggans to provide financial relief to teachers who go above and beyond by tutoring students outside of the classroom.

As a dad of two kids who attended Virginia public schools, I know just how much of a difference a great teacher can make.

The cost of living is too damn high.

In Congress, I'm committed to working across the aisle to change this.

That's why I'm leading a bill with Rep. Young Kim to make sure taxpayers who are owed a refund get their money quickly and hassle-free.

Right now, if a service member leaves the military before starting a family, they lose the ability to transfer their earned GI Bill benefits to their dependents.

That is plain wrong — and I'm working to update this unfair policy.

President Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law 60 years ago, expanding affordable health care to millions.

But right now, these programs are under threat due to the GOP budget that will close rural hospitals and slash the health care of more than 320,000 Virginians.

I'm lucky to have three amazing interns and a fellow helping in my D.C. office this summer. Thank you to Ava, Peter, Yongjae, and Sadie for all of your great work on behalf of Virginia's Seventh District!

🚨Everyone knows that Grandma and Grandpa aren't always on social media. So please tell them: Because of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, the Social Security trust fund is set to run dry WAY earlier than expected — triggering a 24% benefit cut.

That’s an $18,000 loss per household. Unacceptable.

The American people deserve to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein and his inner circle.

No one in the government should be trying to keep the facts on these child predators hidden.

Do you support the release of the Epstein files?

Let me know👇

Trump's Big, Ugly Bill is cutting lifesaving programs — like SNAP and Medicaid — for millions of Americans.

I am appalled that hard working Americans are being treated as collateral damage as Trump cuts taxes for billionaires.

Cindy and I are thinking of the Traverse City community in the wake of the heinous act of violence that took place at a Walmart last night.

I’m grateful for law enforcement and other first responders who were quickly on the scene and saved lives.

The House GOP and Speaker Johnson sent Congress home early to avoid voting to release the Epstein files.

The American people will not forget their government playing them for fools. Release the files.

I sent a letter to the Trump Admin condemning its efforts to undermine higher education in Virginia.

Trying to oust @georgemasonu.bsky.social President Gregory Washington is clear government overreach and a brazen attempt to stymie the university's successful record under his leadership.

16 years ago today, the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25.

It hasn’t gone up since — but rent, gas, and groceries sure have.... 📈

Kaine and Vindman Push to Restore Disability Program Funding Cut from Spotsy Schools A new bill from Senator Tim Kaine and Congressman Eugene Vindman aims to restore federal funding cut earlier this year from a program that supported high school students with disabilities in Spotsylva...

Students with disabilities deserve every opportunity to thrive after high school — but the Trump Admin cut a program in Spotsylvania County that helped make that possible.

That's why Senator Kaine and I introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill to revive it and make sure no one can do this again.

Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told The revelation contradicts the Trump administration’s long-standing claims that no classified information was shared by the defense secretary’s account during the “Signalgate” scandal.

Is anyone surprised? Because I’m sure as hell not.

Secretary Hegseth MUST resign.

I extend my deepest congratulations to Dale Sisson on his retirement from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division.

I was honored to thank Mr. Sisson for his service to our country by recognizing him on the U.S. House floor as my 'Constituent of the Week.'

More than 7,500 Virginians tuned into my telephone town hall tonight!

We covered a wide range of topics — from Trump's Big, Ugly Bill to Social Security to the new VA care center in Fredericksburg.

Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation.

Military Family GI Promise Act expands timeframe for dependents' benefits Currently, service members can transfer GI Bill benefits while on active duty and must reenlist; House passes defense appropriations bill, Vindman votes no.

Every veteran who earned GI Bill benefits should be able to transfer them to their dependents — no matter when they grow their family.

That’s why I introduced a bipartisan bill to give military families more flexibility and keep the American dream alive.

It’s a commonsense fix to an unfair rule.

This bill would fix this unfair policy.

This bill undermines our national security, hurts our military’s readiness, and shortchanges those who serve our country. 
 
In Congress, I’ll continue to fight extreme partisan efforts that put politics and partisanship over commonsense policies. (4/4)
