It's Mental Health Awareness Month. I will keep doing all that I can to increase access to high-quality, affordable mental health care. If you need assistance, please call or text the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8, which provides free and confidential support 24/7.

Today is Yom HaShoah—Holocaust Remembrance Day. We must remember the 6 million Jews who were killed, honor those who survived the Nazis’ horrific atrocities, and join together to unequivocally condemn antisemitism.

I recognized National Firefighters' Day early this year. This week, Virginia Fire Chiefs and I discussed federal grant programs, which I was proud to reauthorize, to help hire more firefighters and ensure they have the equipment they need.

I’ve heard from Virginians in rural communities about how hard it can be to access health care. That’s why I helped pass more resources for Community Health Centers, which provide care to vulnerable communities, and legislation to expand access to telehealth services.

On World Press Freedom Day and every day, we must remain committed to protecting journalists’ right to report the truth.

I call on Putin to immediately release journalists, including Evan Gershkovich and Virginian Vladimir Kara-Murza. Journalism is not a crime.

I'm glad to champion the AUKUS alliance to deter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific, and am proud of the central role Virginia's shipbuilders will play in seeing it through. vginiabusiness.com/article/subs-g…

Adding flights to DCA’s congested runway – the busiest in the country – poses significant threat to passenger and crew safety, as evidenced by the recent near collision. Today, Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the highest transportation authority in the country, agreed: we must prioritize safety.

This National Small Business Week, I’m celebrating small businesses’ contributions to our communities and our economy. I will keep working to support them, the character they bring to our neighborhoods, and the jobs they create.

At today’s Foreign Relations Committee hearing I echoed the voices of the Sudanese Diaspora in VA and the need to end the war and provide humanitarian assistance to Sudan. I’ll continue to support the efforts of U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello to secure a democratic and peaceful future for Sudan.

Two weeks ago, two planes nearly collided at DCA. Still, some of my colleagues are trying to jam even more flights onto the busiest runway in America.

Adding more flights will risk passenger safety and cause more delays. We can’t let this happen.

Virginia is now the last place left in the south where women have reproductive freedom.

It’s time to pass my bipartisan Reproductive Freedom For All Act to restore reproductive rights nationwide.

I’m glad to have helped pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is rebuilding America’s infrastructure and creating millions of jobs. But we need skilled workers to fill these jobs. My BUILDS Act will expand skills-training programs to train them. Let's pass it now.

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This month is an opportunity to celebrate the remarkable cultures, achievements, and contributions of AANHPIs in Virginia.

Now more than ever, high-quality, short-term programs are a crucial step to preparing our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow. It’s time to expand Pell Grants through the JOBS Act to cover these programs. Thank you Senator Tim Kaine and Senator Mike Braun for promoting this legislation.

A strong, skilled workforce is the bedrock of aerospace and defense. In this critical moment, let’s innovate to equip our workforce for tomorrow’s jobs. Expanding Pell Grants via the JOBS Act for high-quality, short-term training is a creative way to build the A&D workforce of…

High-quality, short-term job training programs are a vital tool in preparing our workforce. That’s why we’re pushing for the JOBS Act, for financial support for short-term training programs for careers in areas from health care and coding to welding and other trades.

The future of our workforce is changing. Now more than ever, high-quality, short-term programs are a crucial step to preparing our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow. It’s time to expand Pell Grants through the JOBS Act to cover these programs!

No one should be shut out of job training because they can’t afford it. Alongside Senator Tim Kaine, Senator Mike Braun & a big bipartisan team, I’m pushing for the JOBS Act so folks can use Pell Grants to cover job training, helping more Americans access it & fill the jobs of the future.

#PellYes is still alive and well in the #JobsAct . Let’s get it done for the more than 4 million students in these critical workforce training programs. Senator Tim Kaine
