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.

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.

Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. While I’m glad we’ve made progress by passing gun safety legislation, we must keep working to keep our communities safe and prevent needless tragedies. I’ll keep pushing for my Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act to become law.
