  On World Refugee Day, I’m thinking of the millions of people displaced by conflict and persecution around the world. I will keep fighting for refugees and push back against the Trump-Vance Administration's steps to dismantle the US Refugee Admissions Program.

  Trump tore up Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, started an illegal and foolish war, and then signed a much less effective agreement. So much for ‘the art of the deal.’

  Happy Juneteenth! 161 years ago today, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom, thereby ending slavery in the United States two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Today and always, let's recommit to fighting for equality for all.

  Today, the President awarded Second Lieutenant Nicholas Dockery of Virginia the Medal of Honor for his courage in Afghanistan. 14 years ago, 2nd Lt. Dockery bravely risked life to protect his unit from a vicious Taliban attack. His heroism is an inspiration to us all.

  It was great to celebrate Virginia’s service academy appointees today with @markwarner.bsky.social Warner and welcome them and their families to D.C. Their dedication and enthusiasm give me so much hope for the future. I know they’ll go on to do amazing things!

  From tearing up a diplomatic deal that kept Iran’s nuclear program in check to launching a reckless war there, Trump has made one disastrous decision after another—betraying this country and our troops.

  I introduced a bill today to demand the U.S. use all diplomatic tools to push for elections and the release of political prisoners in Venezuela. Venezuelans must decide their own future. I hope my colleagues will join me in pushing urgently for a democratic transition.
