The idea that the “fork in the road”/DRP ultimatums led to purely voluntary departures is laughable and Scott Kupor should be embarrassed to make it.

Resign or you’ll be fired/demoted is not voluntary, it’s coerced.

Thank you to all the volunteers and voters who came out and to the other candidates — Ken Balbuena and Carey Campbell — for putting themselves forward and being willing to serve.

Congratulations to Supervisor-elect Rachna Sizemore Heizer on her victory in last night’s special election. She will serve our community well in this new role.

Today, I joined a canvass launch in Burke to support Rachna Sizemore Heizer in the special election to fill my seat on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

Thank you to everyone who came out to knock doors!

Had a great night at the Fairfax Democrats annual Holiday Party alongside @markwarnerva.bsky.social.

Plenty of holiday spirit, camaraderie, and some impressive caroling!

Nah Tim, it ain’t the messaging.

Hard to message the fact that your policies are hurting hard-working Americans.

Virginia’s state budget has been flush for years. That might be ending. Virginia budget analysts say federal actions and economic forces are likely to bring lean times to a state that has enjoyed years of surplus.

The Republican War on Healthcare will cost Virginia $3.2 billion and cause hundreds of thousands to lose coverage.

Virginians flat out can’t afford these reckless Republican policies. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

DHS swept Chicago to get ‘the worst’ criminals. Many have no record. Aggressive tactics in Chicago have been deployed in DHS’s “Operation Midway Blitz” to round up more than 4,000 people, only a small portion of whom have major criminal records.

The Trump Administration is letting “the worst of the worst,” including gun and child sex traffickers, off the hook while focusing massive resources on rounding up law abiding, hardworking immigrants.

I’m proud to endorse @markwarnerva.bsky.social re-election to the U.S. Senate. Throughout his career, he has worked tirelessly to make Virginia more affordable, keep our communities safe, and deliver real results for families across the Commonwealth.

A chilly morning, but a warm and festive community! Wonderful to join the annual Reston Holiday Parade to kick off the season.❄️🎄

As President Obama said, “cynicism is our enemy.” Even in moments of uncertainty, we must reject cynicism, hold onto hope, and stay focused on building a better future.

Had the honor of participating in an inspiring conversation with President Obama, Speaker Emerita Pelosi, and my fellow freshman Members of Congress recently.

Perhaps the single most wasteful, inefficient failed initiative in history. Good riddance.

Good to know!

Opinion | The cyberattacks are coming. Will anyone be there to stop them? Trump administration job cuts worsen U.S. vulnerabilities to China and other cyber-adversaries.

Trump’s reckless attacks on the federal workforce have weakened our cyber defenses, putting all Americans at risk and making it easier for China to attack us.

President Trump and Speaker Johnson keep calling the push to release the Epstein files a “hoax”. Tell that to the survivors of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Survivors are calling for transparency and justice. Today, the House will finally vote on it.

Donald Trump is building a golden ballroom for him and his buddies to have parties.

Meanwhile, American families are facing skyrocketing health care premiums and rising grocery costs.

Fairfax Democrats delivered record margins to elect Abigail Spanberger and the Democratic ticket this year.

@markwarnerva.bsky.social and I joined Sully Dems and Dranesville Dems to thank their volunteers and gear up for 2026.

Republicans passed the largest health care cut in American history and are now pushing hardworking Americans off their coverage.

Democrats have been fighting to cancel the cuts and save health care.

Newly released emails suggest Trump knew about Epstein’s abuse and spent time with one of the victims.

Trump’s behavior says it all—he’s panicking and desperately trying to get House Republicans to pull their names off the discharge petition.

Americans deserve full transparency. #ReleaseTheFiles

House Republicans created a health care crisis they now refuse to address. Now Virginians are seeing their premiums skyrocket.

Republicans in Virginia saw the consequences of this at the ballot box last Tuesday. They’ll see it again next year if they don’t work with us to fix it.

With Donald Trump, the cruelty is the point.

But politicians who inflict pain on the people they represent will ultimately be punished at the ballot box.

We saw that on Tuesday around the country and we’ll see it again in the midterms.

On Veterans Day, we honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans. Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve.

The Senate Republican plan fails to address the skyrocketing health care costs caused by Trump Republican policies and doesn’t prevent Trump from slashing federal programs.

I’ll continue fighting for affordable health care this week, next month, next year, and always.

I visited food banks across Fairfax to see firsthand the devastating effects of the Trump Republican shutdown and his decision to cut off SNAP benefits.

Donald Trump needs to be the dealmaker he played on TV and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

There’s no “discussion” to be had here. The Trump Administration must follow the law and pay all federal employees when the shutdown ends.

This approach of threatening to do things that are illegal has failed throughout the shutdown and, yet, they persist.
