Today marks the beginning of the Paralympics! I wish all our many incredible Virginians and all of Team USA luck as they begin competing in the #ParisParalympics! Thank you for making our country proud.

Our economic recovery is strong, but middle class families need more to get ahead. It’s why I’m working on initiatives to cut health care costs, make homeownership more accessible, and increase access to capital so folks can start or grow their own businesses.

You can’t get ahead if you’re struggling with the costs of your prescription drugs. Democrats lowered costs for insulin, and next year folks on Medicare will have all their out-of-pocket prescription drug costs capped at $2,000 total.

I applaud the CIA’s work in thwarting this heinous attack. I’m so grateful for the tireless, critical work of the intelligence community keeping folks safe at home and abroad. nytimes.com/2024/08/28/us/…

In large part thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law, the number of public EV charging stations has DOUBLED in the past three years. Almost 1,000 new stations are built weekly. The infrastructure law is ushering in our clean energy future.

The DEA needs to put forward a rule that protects patients’ access to telemedicine. If they fail to do so before the end of the year, Congress should take action. Read my full statement on the future of telemedicine here: warner.senate.gov/public/index.c…

Quick reminder that Virginia will soon receive $1.5 billion for broadband expansion! Once these federal dollars start flowing into communities, we will be able to get more homes and businesses online, getting us even closer to universal coverage!

Congratulations to Daniel King, Rachel McQuiston, David Pawlowski, and Christopher Steele, who will represent Virginia in the Special Olympics World Winter Games next year! You make Virginia so proud!

I am heartbroken for the Goldberg-Polin family, whose son and brother Hersh was brutally murdered by Hamas along with five other hostages abducted on October 7, 2023. Over the past 330 days, Rachel and Jon have demonstrated extraordinary strength and grace in the face of

While we’ve gotten away from it since the pandemic, Labor Day offers an important opportunity to express gratitude to the incredible essential workers who keep our communities running. Thanks for all you do.

Happy African Diaspora Heritage Month! I’m proud that Virginia is home to a vibrant African diaspora community. All September long, we celebrate their numerous and critical contributions to Virginia and America!

Patients need consistent access to the telehealth flexibilities they have come to rely on. If the DEA can’t get a workable proposal done soon, it will be time for Congress to act to protect patients. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024/0…

My heart is with Ukrainians as they mourn more pointless destruction at the hands of Putin. His brutal, illegal war has taken far too many lives. nytimes.com/live/2024/09/0…

Democrats have repeatedly tried to pass an expanded Child Tax Credit because every parent and child in America deserves a little breathing room to get ahead. I still want to see us pass an expanded CTC to boost our economy and invest in middle class families.

In the last decade, almost 1 in 4 rural hospitals have stopped providing obstretics services. That’s an unfathomable loss for so many communities, and it’s why I’m working on solutions like my Keeping Obstetrics Local Act to ensure folks in rural VA retain access to OB-GYN care.

I’m heartbroken that the start of a school year has already been marred by senseless violence. My thoughts are with all those mourning the loss of innocent life in Georgia, and with all students who fear the terrible violence that mass shootings have brought to our schools.

For months we’ve known that Russia intends to meddle in our election but yesterday’s indictment sheds light on the full scope: from AI-enabled content creation to paying unwitting U.S. influencers (and much in between), Russia remains focused on shaping election outcomes. I

Completely unsurprising but deeply disturbing – Russia was covertly paying influencers to spread Kremlin propaganda. As we approach the election, stay on guard about what you’re watching and sharing. It’s on all of us to stop the spread of disinfo. npr.org/2024/09/05/nx-…

For decades, folks fought to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. When Democrats passed the IRA, we finally got that done, and soon Americans will see significant savings month after month on the first set of critical medications.

USPS does essential work getting folks medications, election mail, benefits, and more, so I’m always monitoring the quality of mail service Virginians are receiving. I will always push for accountability and transparency from USPS so more Virginians get their mail on time.
