Even the SCC staff thinks this merger is a bad idea. They agree with @SenWarren and me that the merger risks higher utility bills for Virginians, reduces competition, and creates the largest utility monopoly in the country.
Dominion and NextEra have not made the case for how they would protect Virginians long term.

Farmers are hurting because of:
- Trump's tarrifs closing export markets
- Trump's Iran war raising fuel costs
- Trump's freezes on grants for farms
- Trump's favoring big corporations over small- and medium- sized farms
This is just a band-aid for a crisis created by this administration.
🚨 BREAKING: @POTUS just announced $8 BILLION in relief for American farmers!
Through @USDA’s new Harvest Fuel Relief Program, we are delivering critical support to farmers facing rising costs and market disruptions.
President Trump is putting FARMERS FIRST and delivering when they need it most! Thank you, Mr. President.
I can confirm that my office in Leesburg received an envelope containing a suspicious substance. The office was promptly evacuated. Thank you to the Leesburg Police, Loudoun County Fire and Rescue and their Hazmat team, and the Capitol Police for your swift response. These acts of political intimidation have no place in our country.
A Texas father of four enlisted in the Army in hopes of getting his wife legal immigration status. When she arrived at a military base to pick up her ID card, ICE started her deportation process, @NickMiroff and @nancyayoussef report. https://t.co/cblhqvWdfG
Happy Opener, South Dakota! Foster and I wish you good luck in the field!
Pheasant hunting is part of who we are, and it’s a tradition worth passing on to our kids and grandkids.
As Governor, I partnered with landowners to start the Second Century Initiative, helping turn marginal land into wildlife habitat so the next generation can enjoy the same hunting traditions we grew up with.
Trump is doing exactly what we warned: undermining Congress’ authority, abandoning Ukraine, and letting Putin off the hook.
Republicans refused to let us vote on stronger Russia sanctions. Now we - and our allies - are paying the price.
We need change now. We need to return to Washington, reclaim Congress’ authority, and pass stronger sanctions that hold Putin accountable.
Breaking News: President Trump signed an executive order to exempt Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. https://t.co/8KuQ5fuOjq
My heart goes out to the three young children and the teacher who were killed at Silver Rail Elementary. My thoughts are with all of their families and loved ones, and we hope those who are in critical condition will make it through.
Our country cannot continue to let this happen in our schools. I will never stop working in Congress for sensible gun violence prevention until we can ensure the safety of every kid, teacher, and parent in America.
At least three children and one adult were killed in a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, on Thursday, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News.
The suspect, who was 16 years old, was shot and killed by a bystander, law enforcement sources said. https://t.co/Naq3smf2Ib
We need to act now to address the rise in South Asian and Hindu hate in this country. I'm grateful for the individuals who notified law enforcement and everyone whose actions prevented this attack.
I will continue fighting to ensure that every community can worship safely.
My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.
House Republicans repeatedly chose tax cuts for the largest corporations over affordable health care for the American people.
Virginians are literally #sickofit. It's time for new leadership.
The livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution should have never been on the table in the first place.
Pete Hegseth must be removed.

We are proud to have worked with the VFW Post 7728 and TACOM to secure a Sherman tank in honor of a true hero. Cpl Robert Overkott Sr. fought in WW2 and operated a Sherman tank himself on D Day. I hope this tank can serve as a symbol to those who drive by of what service, bravery, and heroism is. Thank you to anyone who has served and to our current servicemembers who have sacrificed so much for us.
So Trump's "deal" with Russia is to:
-pay Russia to import diesel (which won't lower energy costs)
-so that they can take the money and bomb Ukraine
-and use it to help Iran bomb Americans and our allies
Why are we here? Because House Republicans refused to let us vote on a stronger sanctions bill. Instead, they passed an optional one, and this is the result.
We need new leadership in Congress FAST.
Here are the other countries that carry out public executions:
Iran
North Korea
Afghanistan
Also ISIS and other terrorist groups.
This is un-American. Call it off.
