DToday’s inflation report: · Prices up 3.7% · Gas up 34% Paychecks aren’t keeping up and families fall further behind. Trump’s tariffs and his war of choice with Iran are to blame. He doesn't care.
Trump insiders are panicking that Kimberly Guilfoyle will talk. She's only the tip of the iceberg. Anyone who is ripping off the American people must answer for it. https://t.co/0eQowZnzXn
Trump's inner circle lives in one economy. You live in another. In theirs, companies backed by Trump's sons landed billions in taxpayer funds and Kimberly Guilfoyle offered access for cash. In yours, prices just jumped 3.7%. Corruption leaves a paper trail. We will follow it. https://t.co/9wAw71pNCR
Open Season is right around the corner! I'm hosting my annual workshop on October 31 to help federal employees and retirees understand their options and get their questions answered. Join us from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fairfax County Government Center! https://t.co/UoAwkjEaGK
Asking Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign is damage control, not accountability. She’s not the Trump administration’s only corruption problem. She’s just the latest to get caught.
Trump's corruption is happening right in front of us. And the people paying the price are you and your family. Anyone ripping off the American people needs to be held accountable. https://t.co/rcoHMq9ASR
Appreciated the chance to speak at NVAR’s Politics & Pancakes Breakfast this morning. Realtors see firsthand the challenges families face trying to buy a home in Northern Virginia. I appreciate NVAR’s advocacy for legislation like the ROAD to Housing Act that we passed this year and their work to make home ownership a reality for more families.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the generations of Indigenous communities who have shaped Virginia and our nation. Their contributions are an important part of our history, and we have a responsibility to ensure their voices continue to be heard. https://t.co/UbKSFrsxDy
The federal government is not Donald Trump’s personal weapon to use against his political enemies. https://t.co/PrgNAjqGRj
At Dulles Airport, @RepSuhas and I joined @ProtectOurCare and 32BJ SEIU airport service workers for the “Sick of It! Fix Health Care Now” national bus tour to hear directly from workers about the consequences of our nation’s healthcare system. One worker shared that he has gone without health coverage for 10 years because he cannot afford it, while another woman is alive today because the Affordable Care Act covered her chemotherapy. These stories are a powerful reminder that healthcare is not a luxury. It is a necessity, and no one should have to go without coverage or face the impossible choice between their health and their financial security.
Fairfax, VA – Today, Congressman James R. Walkinshaw (VA-11), the only Democrat serving on both the House Committees on Homeland Security and Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement. "The federal government is not Donald Trump’s personal weapon to use against his political enemies. Abusing the power of the presidency to intimidate and punish those who challenge him is a direct threat to our democracy. Trump has spent years attacking Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Now, just weeks before an election, federal agents have raided her home. No President is above the law. A Democratic Congress will demand answers, conduct rigorous oversight, and hold accountable anyone responsible for abusing their power." ###
Putin is bombing Ukrainian cities tonight, but our President thinks it’s over because he says so. He is completely out of his depth, and the whole world can see it.
Trump and his allies are focused on lining their pockets while you pay the price. And congressional Republicans are complicit in the cover-up. Chairman Comer must investigate Guilfoyle. The American people deserve answers. https://t.co/whPSvsWw9k
It’s always a pleasure to get out into the community, connect with neighbors, and see what makes our communities so special. Enjoyed spending time with families, meeting local residents, and celebrating the people and organizations that make our community such a great place to call home.
Hot wings and milk? Nah. Hot wings and beer? Yes. Thanks, @GTWhitesides for having me.
There's a disturbing obsession with public displays of cruelty in this administration. Now Trump and Hegseth want to livestream an execution. This is the kind of spectacle we condemn when dictators do it. It has no place in the United States. https://t.co/q35B2y3yAK
A busy Saturday across Fairfax! Volunteer fire department open houses, Fairfax City’s Fall Festival, Vienna’s Farmer’s Market, and Providence’s Fall Fest were all great opportunities to connect with constituents. https://t.co/8bLUWVtowx
Pete Hegseth was never fit to lead the Pentagon. And his mishandling of the war in Iran has only reinforced that. Our service members and the American people deserve better. He must be impeached. https://t.co/uL8Z0Tn4iw
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth want to livestream an execution. That's what terrorists and dictators do. Not America. Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people and must face justice. But turning an execution into a streaming event is un-American and disgusting.
There's a reason Trump isn't focused on lowering your costs. The Mar-a-Lago Mafia is too busy cashing in. https://t.co/ONz0gZYabd
Trump wants you to doubt your mail-in ballot. I asked Fairfax County Board Chair @JeffreyCMcKay about the 24/7 drop box at the Government Center. Locked. Set in concrete. Monitored around the clock. Zero instances of tampering. Mail it or drop it off. Vote with confidence. https://t.co/UZS8m0Zv5Z
Kimberly Guilfoyle begged a Trump donor to pay her $100K Amex bill: "It won't show up anywhere." It did. Trump's ambassador to Greece is the latest Mar-a-Lago Mafia member caught selling access. She won't be the last. We must expose all the Trump cartel's corruption. https://t.co/v4yE9Epatq
Eric Deters says he asked @RepJamesComer to hold a hearing on Kimberly Guilfoyle's $100K Amex bill request. No reply. Chairman Comer, will you hold a hearing or help cover up more Trump Admin corruption? https://t.co/0Ku4FvcJwa
