I am proud to recognize Richard E. Toye Sr. as my ‘Constituent of the Week’ on the U.S. House Floor.  Mr. Toye is a 98-year-old World War II veteran, Spotsylvania County resident, and longtime volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and United Way.  Thanks for all you do!

President Trump is proposing a $1.5 TRILLION defense budget.  He would rather pour resources into his illegal war of choice than invest in health care and child care here at home.   We cannot allow Washington Republicans to rubber-stamp this reckless agenda.

This administration has entered a war of choice in the Middle East without clear strategic objectives, even as its actions risk driving our global competitors closer together.  These choices risk destabilizing the region and undermining America’s long-term national security interests.

After news that Dominion Energy could be acquired by NextEra, it’s clear we need stronger protections to ensure consumers come before corporate profits.    That’s why I’m leading legislation to lower utility costs and increase oversight of utility monopolies.

Virginians should not be paying more for groceries, gas, and basic necessities because of another costly overseas conflict.  I’m leading legislation to pause the diesel tax and backing a gas tax pause to deliver immediate relief for working families.

The soldier accused of betting on the capture of Nicolás Maduro betrayed his oath and the trust placed in those who wear the uniform.  These illegal, unacceptable actions must be stopped before they endanger future operations and put American lives at risk.

Across Virginia, farmers are experiencing significant crop damage due to inclement weather and rising costs driven by Trump's trade war.  Today in a House Ag Committee hearing, Sec. Rollins committed to issuing a Secretarial Disaster Designation for Virginia, and I expect her to follow through.

President Truman had a sign on his desk that said “The Buck Stops Here.” It’s clear with this Administration — and especially Secretary Hegseth — that the motto is “Pass the Buck.”

I was honored to recognize Patrice Summers for 26 years of exceptional service to Prince William County.  I'm thankful for all she’s done for the PWC community — as Chief Elections Officer and as an active member of the SEIU Virginia 512 organizing committee.  Thank you for all you do, Patrice!

It’s been a busy few weeks in Washington and back home in Virginia. Here’s the recap, brought to you by our hardworking Vinterns.

BOLTON: Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize. He sees no prospect of achieving a resolution between Ukraine and Russia for obvious reasons. Therefore, he has lost interest in this war. Trump has no strategic frame of reference here. He just sees he's not going to get Nobel Peace Prize.
