January 6 showed us what can happen when Trump refuses to accept an election he lost. He’s setting the stage to deny the results again and we have to be ready. Our democracy has endured for 250 years. We have to ensure it lasts 250 more.

Trump and DOGE didn’t just illegally fire and push out federal workers. They left thousands with missing records and paperwork errors delaying their retirement and health benefits. My bill would force agencies to fix this mess and help them get their benefits straightened out.

Pete Hegseth is a culture warrior, not a Secretary of Defense. He calls journalists traitors and trashes service members he doesn't like. Meanwhile, our troops are being killed and wounded by the hundreds in a war he's losing in Iran. It's past time to impeach him. I'm a yes.

Why does Trump want you to doubt our elections? Because if you lose faith in your vote, you might not use it. Don’t let Trump’s manufactured fear keep you from voting. By mail or in person, cast your ballot with confidence.

Attacks on mail-in voting. Threats to purge voter rolls. Cuts to election security. The Trump admin keeps finding new ways to create chaos in our elections.

Trump has turned the DOJ into a partisan tool and a shield for himself as he attacks voting rights across the country. The DOJ should be protecting every American’s right to vote, not helping Trump undermine it.

Let’s be clear: Trump and the MAGA majority are targeting ALL forms of immigration, including legal immigration. America is a nation of immigrants. To oppose immigration is to oppose the spirit of the United States.

What an exciting day for our community! It was an honor to help break ground on the new Willard-Sherwood Health and Community Center.

Jack Smith said it plainly today: based on the same facts, he would have prosecuted a Republican or a Democrat. That’s what the rule of law looks like. Trump’s standard is different: loyalty to him, and investigations of his perceived enemies.

Friendly reminder: The Epstein files were legally required to be released by December 19, 2025. Nine months later, the Trump administration still hasn’t fully released them. Why? Survivors deserve justice. Release the files.

Trump knows Republicans are on track to lose, and he’s panicking. Now, the Supreme Court is allowing his admin to use a DHS database that has already resulted in eligible voters being wrongly removed from voter rolls. Check your registration today at eac.gov/vote

1.8 million families could have a month of groceries covered with the $1.8 billion Trump wants to spend on vanity projects. Imagine if he spent as much time lowering your costs as he does planning ballrooms, arches and monuments to himself.

I had a productive town hall with BrightView residents in Herndon about the issues that matter most to them. We discussed affordable housing, voting rights, education, and how taxpayer dollars are spent, as well as the importance of staying engaged and making our voices heard.

For 20 years, the Shepherd’s Center of Fairfax-Burke has been building a stronger, more connected community for older adults. I’ve had the opportunity to see their work firsthand, including joining volunteers on a few rides and seeing the care they bring to the people they serve.

Every person deserves the opportunity to communicate, participate, and be heard. It was wonderful to join I-ASC’s Croquet Soirée in Fairfax and celebrate the nonspeaking individuals, families, and advocates working to build a more accessible and inclusive community.

Trump’s crypto scams generated more than $1 billion in revenue last year. Think about that. While you’re worried about groceries, health care and gas, the Trump family is finding new ways to put more money in their own pockets.

Washington should be asking: How do we make life more affordable for American families? Instead, the Trump family and their allies keep asking: How can we make more money? That corruption has a cost. And American families are paying it.

Today, we unveiled new signs along the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail honoring Gerry’s extraordinary legacy in Fairfax County. I was proud to partner with Fairfax Parks to improve the signage, making the trail easier to navigate and more accessible.

It’s a very different economy when your last name is Trump. While you’re paying more for groceries, health care and gas, the Trump family gets weddings bankrolled by Russian oligarchs. For the Trump family, corruption pays.

The Supreme Court just greenlit Trump’s terribly flawed voter database as voting is underway. In Texas, it falsely flagged 578 U.S. citizens as potential noncitizens—making it harder to vote. No American should have to fight a federal database error to keep their vote.

Supreme Court Allows Use of Trump Administration’s Expansive Database for Voter Screening

Critics of a citizenship database built by the Trump administration have raised alarms about privacy and improper voter purges.

$1.8 BILLION. That’s what @jecdems.bsky.social estimates Trump’s vanity projects will cost. That same money could cover a month of electric bills for 12M people, a year of medical expenses for 88,000 veterans, or 600M school lunches.  Trump's ego is expensive.

Trump didn’t show up to his own son’s wedding. But a Putin-linked Russian oligarch did. And this isn’t just any oligarch. Kremlev has deep ties to a group accused of helping abduct Ukrainian children. So why was he there, and why did he spend hundreds of thousands on the president’s son?

Donald Trump talks a big game for a man so terrified of tough questions that he’s trying to keep journalists out of the White House. You don’t get to silence the press because you don’t like the coverage. That’s not strength. That’s weakness.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last wk.

Breaking news: CNN, MS NOW and Politico requested an emergency hearing after they were again blocked from accessing the White House today despite a federal judge’s early-morning ruling ordering the government to restore their credentials.

Our U.S. Service Academies prepare the next generation of leaders to serve our country, and I’m proud to help students in our community pursue that path. My office is now accepting applications for Class of 2031 Service Academy nominations.

For 35 years, NVMS Conflict Resolution Center has helped our Northern Virginia community navigate differences, find common ground, and move forward together.

123 children were killed in a U.S. strike on their school. Months later, the Pentagon still hasn’t released its investigation into the catastrophic failures that led to it. Secretary Hegseth must be removed or impeached immediately.

Federal workers have been asked to do more with less for far too long. After DOGE, mass firings, and a raise that failed to keep pace with rising costs, Trump now wants to freeze their pay entirely.

The Trump admin has spent the last two years taking health care away from working families. Now JD Vance says he is canceling ACA coverage for 760,000 people, without providing evidence of the fraud he cites.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2w ago

Trump officials announced that they are removing about 760,000 enrollees from Affordable Care Act coverage, saying that they were fraudulently enrolled in the government health program. JD Vance said that they would perform “additional verification” on about 419,000 people. https://wapo.st/4ydzPKe

Making government work requires the right talent and the right technology. I appreciated the chance to visit Maximus and spend time with employees for a town hall. Thank you for the thoughtful questions and honest conversation.

Governor Spanberger is absolutely right.
