A report found that 13 rural Virginia hospitals are at risk of closure—in part because of last year’s huge Medicaid cuts. For many Virginians, these hospitals are the only source of care. I will keep pushing to reverse the cuts and do more to support rural care.

- A recent national survey found Americans’ confidence in the economy is the lowest it’s been in over sixty years. The reason? President Trump’s chaotic tariff policies and his illegal war in Iran.
00:00 - Inflation just reached a three-year high. Gas prices are up by 41% since last year. The cost of groceries is soaring. Americans are paying the price for Trump’s illegal war in Iran—and it’s clearly time for Congress to come together to put a stop to it.Breaking News: U.S. inflation surged to a 4.2% annual rate in May, as higher energy prices put more pressure on the economy. nyti.ms/4vcLmYs
- Every day, military spouses make sacrifices for our country. They deserve our support. That's why I joined @MarkWarner in a letter to the Office of Personnel Management regarding the lack of progress in improving the retention of federal employees who are military spouses.
- Today is the Equal Pay Act's 63rd birthday. Signed by JFK, it was meant to ensure equal pay for all. But last year, women in VA still earned about 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. I am committed to passing the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the wage gap.

00:00 - Secretary Hegseth is blocking the promotions of senior military officers for no reason. These patriotic Americans have earned their promotions based on merit, and Hegseth is standing in the way.
00:00 - On the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day, we honor the brave servicemembers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Their legacy continues to live on, and we must never forget the sacrifices these heroes made in defense of our freedom and freedom around the world.
- America's public lands—including the incredible Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—belong to all of us. But now the Trump-Vance Administration is auctioning it off to their Big Oil cronies that already have plenty of other areas to drill.This Friday @Interior will hold an oil/gas lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest undeveloped landscapes in North America. This is the first of at least four before 2035. blm.gov/press-release/…
