There are still Americans stranded in the Middle East. The Trump administration must make it an immediate priority to bring them home safely and without delay. If you or a loved one are stuck overseas, visit 🖥️ travel.state.gov or call ☎️ +1 (202) 501-4444

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.

Congratulations to Curry Roberts, my “Constituent of the Week,” on his retirement after years of dedicated service as president of the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance at the University of Mary Washington.  I’m grateful for his contributions to our community, and I wish him well in retirement!

This is yet another conflict Trump has pulled us into without Congressional approval.  Congress has a constitutional responsibility to authorize the use of military force. Bypassing that process weakens accountability and democratic oversight.  The American people deserve transparency.

I’m about to question Secretary Hegseth on Trump’s war of choice in Iran — which has been a disaster at every turn. He owes our troops and the American people answers.

Congratulations to my “Constituent of the Week,” Chief Rebecca Davis Nelson, on her appointment as Chief of Police for the Town of Orange.  With more than two decades of law enforcement experience, she now makes history as the first woman to lead the agency.  Thank you for your service!

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.

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.

I introduced a bill to BAN Members of Congress and their families from using prediction markets. Allowing lawmakers to use prediction markets undermines public trust and endangers U.S. national security. Congress must pass this bill and begin restoring the people's faith in their institutions.

Insider trading on prediction markets — especially when it involves matters of national security — is unacceptable.    I questioned CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig on this issue, pressing for accountability to ensure these markets are not exploited at the expense of America's troops or security.

Ossoff: "It makes a difference who represents us. When you sent me and Sen. Warnock to the Senate, we capped the cost of insulin at $35. And when Donald Trump and his allies took power again, they threw hundreds of thousands of Georgians off their health insurance. The contrast could not be clearer"

$7 gas. Let that sink in. This isn’t an accident. It’s the result of Trump dragging us into another reckless conflict. Higher oil prices = higher prices on everything. Working families get squeezed. He calls it leadership.
