He was a fighter. He was kind and funny, but, boy, you did not want to get on the wrong side of Gerry Connolly because sometimes that fighting spirit would show itself in his relentless — in other words, getting into an argument with Gerry…
It is critical that taxpayer dollars and federal government resources not be misused to support political activities, and certainly not partisan political activities that fund political candidates and intend to influence an election.
This Fund is outright corruption, cheating, and illegal.
Public parameters of the Fund suggest that President Trump may use it as a mechanism for siphoning taxpayer dollars to his favored political campaigns.
I write today with grave concern regarding the establishment of the ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ and the potential for $1.776 billion of taxpayer funds to be laundered as part of a scheme to fund the President’s favored political campaigns…
This delay does not change what’s at stake. We will continue to oppose this reckless legislation and keep fighting for policies that lower costs, strengthen communities, and put Virginia families ahead of political favors and self-dealing.
Republicans may have dropped their plan to force taxpayers to fund President Trump’s ballroom, but the core of this legislation remains the same: more blank checks, more partisan chaos, and more giveaways designed to benefit Donald Trump…
Senate Republicans couldn’t even hold their own conference together long enough to bring this partisan bill to the floor before recess.
Narrowing eligible counseling services and allowing funding gaps of this magnitude abandons Americans at the two moments they need help the most: when they are trying to buy their first home, and when they are at risk of losing it.

Local pharmacies can provide routine tests, vaccines, and treatments for common illnesses like flu and COVID, and they must have the resources they need to do it effectively.
These provisions will expand care options, especially for rural and underserved communities, and protect patients from fraud.
I am grateful to my colleagues on the House Ways and Means committee who stood up for patients on Medicare.
The next DNI must be committed to restoring trust in the office, protecting the integrity of our intelligence, and ensuring our nation’s intelligence professionals can speak truth to power, without fear or interference.
At a time when the boundaries between verified intelligence and politically convenient claims have too often been blurred, it is critical that the office remain grounded in facts, independence, and the rule of law.
The Director of National Intelligence is entrusted with one of the most serious responsibilities in government: providing objective, fact-based intelligence to policymakers and the American people, regardless of politics or pressure from…
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the gift that keeps on giving, continuing to make Virginia’s airports safer and more efficient for the travelers that move through them.

Minot’s former landfill has been cleaned up, and the city is ready to move forward with construction to create a new outdoor recreation site for local residents. I appreciate Administrator Zeldin for his commitment to move this final…
