I’m here with @repstansbury.bsky.social fighting on Capitol Hill to protect federal workers. Don’t get it twisted – furloughed federal workers will get their backpay when this shutdown is over. It’s the law. We’ll continue to work together and end the Republican shutdown.

Shutdown Day 7 and House Republicans are still refusing to negotiate — they won’t even show up to work. Threatening federal workers with firings and no backpay is illegal. I am doing everything I can to fight it and end this shutdown.

Today marks two years since Hamas’ horrific attack on Israel. We need a lasting and secure ceasefire in Gaza. This region deserves peace, and I will continue to advocate for humanitarian aid, the returning of hostages, and a final resolution to end the war.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay

A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

This administration wants to punish federal workers. These threats are illegal point blank. We could be working together to end this Republican government shutdown but Russ Vought and POTUS would rather threaten and harass the federal workforce.

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful wife Miranda. She is the best partner, friend, and mom I could ever ask for, and I wouldn't be able to serve our community without her support!

The passing of Candis King after her brave battle with sickle cell disease is heartbreaking. Virginia is keeping Delegate @candimundonking.bsky.social, Josh, their family, and all of Candis’ friends and loved ones in our thoughts as we deal with this immense loss.

Visited festivals in Warrenton, Sterling, Leesburg, and Ashburn to enjoy the fall weather and talk with folks in the community about how the shutdown is affecting them.

Thank you to everyone who attended today’s town hall and shared their story. I am fighting to end this shutdown and protect Virginians.

I want this shutdown to end, but House Republicans and the administration refuse to show up and negotiate to end it. I’ve introduced legislation to support federal workers and contractors during the shutdown and will keep pushing for it to end.

Republicans are using this shutdown to continue damaging our federal government and devastating our health care system. We need a bipartisan agreement and an end to this shutdown.

Now on day 2 of the Republican shutdown, Republicans are still nowhere to be found on Capitol Hill. I am here to negotiate and end this. We are fighting to protect healthcare and jobs for the American people.

Republican leaders say they support federal workers, veterans and food assistance programs, but their plan continues the mass firings and cuts. Here's the truth: Republicans are once again the reason for this shutdown. They need to come to the table and reopen the government.

I won’t be taking pay while the Republicans shut down the government.

The Administration is shutting down the government so they can use it as an excuse to make even more cuts to essential federal workers and contractors, like the tech experts at CISA who keep our tech infrastructure safe from hackers and adversaries. This will hurt every American.

Let me be clear: This is a Republican caused shutdown because they want to continue firing federal workers and strip people of their health care access.
