Trump has launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk. I’m calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on my War Powers Resolution that blocks war with Iran without congressional approval.

Next post from the Sundowner in Chief . . . “And New York and New Jersey . . . foreign names . . . must be renamed too!”

Translation: “Netanyahu and Pete and Lindsey bamboozled me into an idiotic and illegal war in Iran. Props to the rare con artist better than me!” huffpost.com/entry/donald-tr…

I visited Ukraine and other European allies in June to discuss US support for Ukraine. They all urged us to pass the Graham sanctions bill to show bipartisan Congressional support for Ukraine even amidst Trump’s shameful capitulation to Putin. We showed whose side we’re on and Trump has made clear whose side he’s on. American voters—take note!

Inflation just jumped 3.7%. Gas prices are up 9.1% from a month ago as Trump’s illegal war with Iran drags on. America can’t afford another two years of a Republican-led Congress that won’t stand up to Trump while he runs our economy into the ground.

Go Army! We’ve got some tricks up our sleeve for today’s game against Tulane.

Trump playing silly word games while wars and tariffs punish everyday folks? Plus . . . it should be “anyone WHO uses the term” not “THAT uses the term.” Unless he’s including bots and AI agents as the ENEMY now. Paranoid sad sack.

What an embarrassment for a great nation to have a leader who no one would ever encourage their children to emulate. cincinnati.com/story/news/po…

It was great to vote early in Richmond this morning! Proud to cast my vote for my amazing wife @AnneHolton for school board and @JennMcClellanVA for VA-04. Make your plan to vote, check your registration, and make your voice heard:  iwillvote.com/VA

As families grapple with the high cost of living, Trump is busy building yet another monument to himself with taxpayer dollars. Now he’s shutting Virginia out of the process. We need action to lower costs for Americans, not vanity projects that will make our airspace less safe.

GOP heading into mid-terms facing voters angry about sky high costs on energy, health care, food, gas. So what do Senate R’s spend September on in Congress? —pushing a bill to help Crypto industry (and failing) —voting down a resolution to end the Iran War —running down the clock on a college sports bill that the House can’t even take until November Lame!

Each Republican Senator who voted against the resolution to end the Iran War—including those in tough 2026 races—was the deciding vote! wsj.com/politics/policy/sena…

Joined local Dems at Donkey Days! SWVA is fired up to elect @MarkWarnerVA and Joy Powers to Congress and vote yes on the three constitutional amendments to protect reproductive freedom, marriage equality, and voting rights!

Jim Ukrop played an irreplaceable role in Richmond’s renaissance and also served as one of my first and most consistent supporters as I entered public life. I visited him recently to tell him how much he meant to me and will miss him deeply.

Trump cancels health, education, public safety and business development programs as he seeks more money for illegal wars!

Trump is pulling out all the stops to wine and dine Xi. Will he be as eager to press him on human rights and threats to Taiwan?

Trump’s war-mongering and tariff chaos impose enormous costs on American troops, families and businesses. And his threats of “annihilation” are turning the US into a global bully instead of a reliable neighbor. When will the GOP stand with Democrats and independents to stop the self-destruction? thehill.com/homenews/adminis…

In the first days of Trump’s illegal Iran war we struck a school and killed a lot of innocent kids. The “Department of War” brags about how they’ve used AI to make instant targeting decisions. Now we understand the tragic cost of their miscalculation. bloomberg.com/graphics/2026-…
