Rep. James Walkinshaw

Trump and Republicans say we can’t afford health care or food assistance for American families. But they’re ready to spend billions on an unauthorized war in Iran.

Our priorities should be the American people — not another war in the Middle East.

Kristi Noem’s firing was long overdue. But our work continues.

We must hold her accountable for the abuses that occurred under her leadership and reform DHS so they never happen again.

Trump cut health care, making coverage more expensive and leaving millions struggling to afford the care they need. Now he’s spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a war in Iran.

I’ve been raising this for months: why did Kristi Noem award a massive DHS contract to her political allies?

The American people deserve to know why their taxpayer dollars were used to fund her propaganda campaign — & why her buddies benefited.

This is corruption.

Pam Bondi says DOJ has released all the Epstein files. They haven’t. Records that mention Trump appear to have been pulled.

Today, we successfully voted to subpoena Bondi—under oath.

@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social & I won’t stop until this cover-up is blown open & the full truth is released.

Trump is spending $220 million a day on an unauthorized war with Iran while doing nothing to lower grocery prices or the cost of living for American families.

The House will vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution, and I’ll vote YES to rein him in and end this illegal war.

(2/2): Americans need affordable health care, groceries, and gas—not another endless war that costs the lives of brave Americans.

I’ll vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution to rein him in and end this war.

(1/2): After yesterday’s classified briefing, I’m more convinced than ever: there was no imminent threat to the United States and Trump has no clear strategy in Iran.

(2/2): Our office stands ready to support constituents who need assistance returning home.

(1/2): 🚨 In light of U.S. military strikes in Iran, Americans abroad should enroll in the State Department’s STEP program right away and stay updated with the latest guidance at Travel.State.gov.

Proud to secure over $13.4M in Community Project Funding for VA-11 – supporting safer streets, clean drinking water, workforce development, and environmental resilience. 
 
These projects will deliver practical, on-the-ground results now and for years to come.

DHS has launched a secretive campaign to allow warrantless entry into the homes of Americans.
 
Republicans brand themselves as the party of “small government.” But if DHS can kick in your door without a warrant, that isn’t limited government. And if you’re allowing it, you’re not for freedom.

(2/2): I was proud to share how we’re working at the federal level to support our schools, federal workers, and working families.

Thank you to everyone who came out to be part of the conversation.

(1/2): Great to join Chair Deshundra Jefferson and community leaders tonight for Prince William’s State of the County.

Prince William and Fairfax are partners, working together to ensure our residents thrive.

She had nothing to do with Epstein and was hauled in for pure political theatre.

Howard Lutnick and Donald Trump lied to the American people about their relationship with Epstein.

And they need to answer for it — under oath.

Thousands of federal retirees are facing chaos this tax season because OPM hasn’t mailed their tax documents on time.

Worse, when they call, they’re met with busy signals and long hold times.

Unacceptable.

I teamed up with @pallone.house.gov to demand Director Kupor fix this now.

March is Women’s History Month.

This month, we celebrate the generations of trailblazing women who have paved the way for progress and made our country stronger as a result of their perseverance.

I want to express my sincere condolences to the loved ones of the three brave American service members killed in action in the Middle East.

We celebrate their patriotism and pray for their families as they mourn this terrible loss.

(2/2): This #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth, it’s vital that we raise awareness about the deadliest cancer in people under 50, and the second deadliest overall. #EnoughCRC

(1/2): Today I joined the incredible team at Inova Schar and a group of relentless advocates and survivors from across the country to learn more about the medical advances and research in search of a cure to colorectal cancer.

(2/2): Students and organizations from 28 high schools were celebrated for their compassion, courage, and commitment to building more inclusive, peaceful communities.

Their work gives me great confidence in the future of Fairfax County.

(1/2): Advancing peace isn’t just an ideal — it’s a responsibility we all share. I was honored to attend the Fairfax County Student Peace Awards and recognize the remarkable leadership of our young people.

Thank you to everyone who participated. Our office is always here to help.

Today’s Constituent Services Fair brought together more than 400 residents and 48 incredible partners.

From veterans benefits and passport services to housing, small business support, & immigration assistance, our goal was simple: make government more accessible and responsive to Fairfax families.

The American people want and need affordable health care and lower grocery prices, not another war in the Middle East that risks the lives of young Americans.

Today, we pray for our brave men and women in uniform and for all in harm’s way.
