Trump tariffs are a tax on the American people.

Trump can say whatever he likes about tariffs, but it doesn’t mean they are a good idea. We know this will increase costs for hard working families — the exact opposite of what folks need.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures out there!

Wishing an especially wonderful day to my dad, who taught me the importance of hard work and integrity and has always been my biggest role model.

As we recognize Juneteenth, we celebrate the end of slavery in the United States and recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of building a nation where freedom, opportunity, and justice are truly available to everyone.

If you’re looking to commemorate Juneteenth in our community, check out some of the celebrations taking place across Northern Virginia this weekend. ⬇️

Great crowd at Sky Bar in Fredericksburg tonight! Thank you to everyone who came out and showed your support.

Together, we’re building the momentum we need to win back the House.

📸I’m inviting you to submit photos for a Congressional Time Capsule that will be opened in 2276.

From family traditions and community events to local landmarks and everyday activities, your photos can help tell the story of Virginia.

I hope you’ll participate and help preserve a snapshot of our Commonwealth for the next 250 years.

The Virginia congressional delegation is asking residents to submit photographs that could be contained in the Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule. https://t.co/5TOLfDOhOP

Congress has access to classified briefings, closed-door negotiations, and advance knowledge of what legislation is being voted on.

Allowing lawmakers to place bets on prediction markets creates unacceptable conflicts of interest and risks undermining public trust.

My bill would put a stop to it.

Peace? This thing isn’t even signed yet.

After tens of billions of dollars, American lives lost, and higher prices at the pump and grocery store, Republicans got us to a position worse than where we started.

Still, I hope the ceasefire gets done. The only thing worse than this terrible “deal to make a deal” is the war continuing under the current leadership. The damage has already been done.

American families are paying the price for this conflict, and I remain concerned about its long-term impact on the region and American leadership.

The outlines of this deal are still not completely clear, but the strategic folly here ranks among America’s worst.

Scam operations run by transnational criminal organizations have become a multibillion-dollar industry that targets Americans every day.

That's why I introduced legislation to strengthen our response to these criminal networks.

I'm proud that it was included in this year's NDAA and advanced out of committee.

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

President Trump threatened to seize Kharg, an Iranian island.

That means boots on the ground. Are we willing to sacrifice more American blood and treasure on Trump’s war? My answer is NO.

Gas is over $5 a gallon. Inflation just soared past 4%.

We can’t allow Republicans to escalate this unpopular war. Saying no is responsible leadership.

[Bloomberg @business]

President Donald Trump said the US would strike Iran again Thursday and threatened to take control of the country’s energy infrastructure including the key oil export hub of Kharg Island “at some point.” https://t.co/ttHWD6mYSz

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

We will always defend our service members and protect our nation. But the reality is that this war was a choice made by Republicans.

For weeks, the president has insisted that a deal is just around the corner. Meanwhile, gas prices and grocery bills keep rising, our service members remain in harm’s way, and there is still no deal in sight.

The American people deserve a clear strategy, a path to actually ending this conflict, and leadership that puts their security and economic well-being first.

Good news for our military families: the NDAA we advanced out of committee includes a pay raise for our troops.

At a time when military families are facing higher costs for groceries, housing, and everyday necessities, this is a meaningful step in the right direction.

I was proud to support this bipartisan provision.

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

Every item on a grocery store shelf had to get there somehow — and soaring diesel prices are making that more expensive by the day.

I introduced the Diesel Prices Relief Act because families and farmers deserve relief from rising costs and truckers deserve a break from crushing fuel prices.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

QUICK: How are farmers faring these days given higher fertilizer prices and diesel prices?

BROOKE ROLLINS: There was almost a 40% increase in input prices under the last administration, no new trade deals under Biden

(note the complete lack of pushback from CNBC hosts who just let her rant... )

Happy birthday @avindman. See you on the hill. #twinning

Gun violence has touched too many families, schools, and communities across our country.

On #GunViolenceAwarenessDay, we remember those we've lost, stand with survivors, and recommit ourselves to finding common ground on solutions that save lives and keep our communities safe.

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

The American people deserve to know their elected officials are working for them, not auditioning for their next job.

That's why I'm leading bipartisan legislation to ban Members of Congress from lobbying their former colleagues after leaving office.

Public service should be about serving the American people, not cashing in.

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

Today, I joined a bipartisan majority of my colleagues to tell President Trump what the Constitution already does:

The president does not get to wage war by decree.

It’s long past time to end this costly war in Iran.

And it’s time for more of my Republican colleagues to find the courage to stand up to this administration and demand the same.

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

Diesel prices are driving up the cost of groceries, utilities, and everyday essentials for hardworking families across Virginia.

That’s why I introduced the Diesel Prices Relief Act to pause the federal diesel tax through January 2027 and help bring costs down for families, truckers, farmers, and small businesses.

[Eugene Vindman @YVindman]

As a former legal advisor on the National Security Council, I am appalled by the decision to make Bill Pulte Acting Director of National Intelligence.

The President has chosen someone with no national security experience whatsoever to lead our nation’s intelligence community.

I am deeply concerned about what this nomination means for the security of the United States.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Breaking: President Trump chose Bill Pulte to be acting director of national intelligence. Pulte is currently the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. https://t.co/giszsxhODn

Hardworking Virginians deserve reliable and affordable utility service. Endless rate hikes with little explanation or oversight are unacceptable.

Utility companies must be held accountable when families are forced to pay more month after month.
