Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.
JD Vance said one of his "proudest" accomplishment as Vice President was stopping funding for Ukraine.
He said this at a small arena that was less than 25% full because nobody likes or wants to listen to JD Vance.

We are heartbroken beyond words by the passing of our beloved daughter, Madison, 36, after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. She filled our lives with love and laughter, and her absence leaves an immeasurable void. We are grateful for the loving support of friends and family during this difficult time and ask for privacy as we navigate this profound loss.
Yesterday, I once again voted in favor of a War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump’s war of choice against Iran.Â
To this day, the administration has not provided a clear or credible justification for entering this conflict. Congress — and the American people — deserve answers.
Today, I once again voted again in favor of a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war of choice against Iran.
This war has already claimed the lives of 13 service members, left hundreds more wounded, and cost taxpayers $35 BILLION.
The House GOP refused AGAIN to vote to end this senseless war.
In June, Washington, DC will use ranked choice voting for the first time. Voter responses to education efforts from @rankthedistrict.bsky.social & others have been powerful.

On Yom HaShoah, we honor the memories of the six million innocent Jews murdered during the Holocaust at the hands of the Nazi regime. Â
As we honor their memories, we renew our commitment to stand against antisemitism and hatred in all its forms.
Today we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust—and the millions of others targeted by hate.
On Yom HaShoah, we honor their memory and renew our commitment to fight antisemitism, bigotry, and authoritarianism wherever they rise.
Tonight, the Jewish community marks Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. I am reflecting on the resilience of the Jewish people who had the courage to continue practicing their faith in the face of evil. We all must continue working to prevent antisemitism at home and abroad.
On Yom HaShoah, we honor and remember the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust.
Today and every day, we know that “never again” starts with an enduring, daily commitment to speaking out against all forms of anti-Semitism.
On World Parkinson's Day, we recognize the 1 million Americans living with Parkinson's disease and the families that support them. Through bills like my HEALTHY BRAINS Act, Congress must support research to find the causes of, and develop cures for, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

"I gathered several pictures & handed them to my 8-year-old niece. I asked her to sort them in order of favorite to least favorite. She did it easily.
With ranked choice voting," Alaska voters can do the same w/ candidates on their ballots.

My thoughts are with the crew aboard the U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle shot down over southern Iran, and with all those working to bring them home.
I’m relieved that one crew member has been rescued by American forces, and I’m holding onto hope for the safe return of the other.
Virginians have paid $254 million more at the pump because of Trump’s war of choice in Iran. Working families were already struggling with the rising cost-of-living. Many can’t afford this. I’ll keep doing all I can to end this unnecessary war and lower costs.

I shared why we need democracy reforms like Ranked Choice Voting and Campaign Finance that will be critical to defeating MAGA and copycats.

“It is increasingly evident that the greatest threat now comes from inside our own government.”
This morning in the New York Times, I lay out the stakes for this administration’s election interference.
The House GOP needs to cancel recess and bring back the House to vote on the bill that passed the Senate unanimously. End this Republican shutdown now.
"The GOP could've saved agony in Texas w/ ranked choice voting.
Instead of dragging voters back to the polls months after the primary & subjecting everyone to weeks of nastiness, they could have an instant runoff the same day as the primary."

A Ukrainian military drone operator says he’d rather deploy 10 sea drones carrying explosives than a single warship. cbsn.ws/489Wdcb
“We have to count [the] number of drones we use, efficiency of each of them, cost to kill for every Russian,” says Oleksandr Kamyshin, the architect of Ukraine's drone program. “The cost of killing every Russian is less than $1000 now.” cbsn.ws/4s5Ijz4
“From the point you send a drone to the front line, get the feedback, change something, and get the new version, it could be as short as one week,” says Oleksandr Kamyshin, the architect of Ukraine's drone program. cbsn.ws/480RVUw
“There's a real risk that the U.S. would lose its military supremacy if it doesn't adapt to modern conditions on the battlefield,” says former U.S. Marine William McNulty, warning that future wars will be shaped by the drones used in Ukraine. cbsn.ws/4tb0LHp
