$880 billion, that is how much Medicaid funding is on the chopping block. Medicaid funding provides lifesaving care for millions of Americans. Medicaid is America's healthcare safety net. Without it, hospitals operating on thin margins…

Yesterday, the President posted on social media: ``This is a great time to buy.'' Then, shortly after that, he paused his tariff plan, the very one that sent markets into a tailspin. The market bounced back, although it is down again, and…

As Chief Keith Johnson prepares to retire this month, I rise to honor his distinguished career in service to Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System. Beloved in our Loudoun County community, Chief Johnson is a fourth- generation…

Let's take a step back and be clear on what is going on here. This administration maybe didn't have the votes or will to get legislation through Congress, so it created these executive orders and broke the law in doing so. Some of these…

When I recently asked someone who supports gutting the Department of Education how that decision would make American education better or what the Department even does, they couldn't give me an answer. Let me tell you how gutting this…

I am excited for the future after having the honor of meeting some incredibly driven individuals at a local science fair. Every student who entered the science fair in Loudoun County was a winner, but seven students from Loudoun County…

Make no mistake, there's a lot of anger and frustration at the Trump administration and DOGE here behind me tonight. But they like what the congressman is saying here. He's been saying things like, the American people want us to fight…

Our Founding Fathers had a pretty clear principle when it came to corruption. Thomas Jefferson, a fellow Virginian, warned of the fate of our country if corruption prevailed. He said: ``The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is…

I recently met with a group of advocates for children with complex medical needs and disabilities. They all shared stories of their kids with special needs or that they were simply allies. Their vision is that all children with these…

This week's address to Congress was one of the longest addresses to Congress ever, yet there was no real plan or blueprint for how we are actually going to lower costs. We heard a lot about Greenland and golden tickets and something about…

I thank my colleague from Kansas (Ms. Davids) for yielding. On January 29, our community in northern Virginia was shattered. Mr. Speaker, 67 lives were taken from us far too soon when American Eagle Flight 5342 and Army flight call sign…

Last week, the first speaker in line at my townhall was Susan Perri. My colleagues wouldn't know it at first, but Susan has difficulty speaking. Within the last 6 months, she had a 7-centimeter tumor removed from her adrenal gland, but…

There is new reporting that the Social Security Administration has been told to cut its workforce in half. Unfortunately, I heard from a constituent who works there who was just put on a 30-day leave with no promise to keep their job. This…

I am genuinely alarmed by the budget that we may be voting on this week. There is a lot not to like, but every American should be paying attention to the cuts being proposed to Medicaid and SNAP benefits. These cuts will hurt millions of…

I rise because many people want to paint Federal workers and contractors as unskilled bureaucrats who waste taxpayer dollars. However, the reality is the opposite. I know this because Virginia is home to hundreds of thousands of our…

Family separation is devastating and traumatic for any community, but that is especially true for the 70,000 Korean Americans in Virginia and the millions across the country. The Korean war led to the displacement and separation of…

the day we no longer need animals for research is the day we have succeeded as an industry.
