Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07)

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.

Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

The One Ugly Distraction let ACA premium tax credits expire—jacking up health care costs for 22M Americans. In VA, a 55-year-old making $63K will pay $2,410 more just to keep their plan.

Working families pay the price for GOP cruelty.

I’m attending the #SOTU for one reason: duty.

As a 25-year Army veteran, I swore an oath to the Constitution — not to a political party or a president.

That oath requires me to hold this administration accountable, even when we hear a speech disconnected from reality.

It’s been 15 days since signalgate and zero accountability.

Hegseth needs to resign. Congress needs to investigate.

The President needs to explain why he took the escalatory step of activating the Nat’l Guard. As an Army vet, I know that using the military domestically should ONLY be a last resort.

FBI firings are a 5 alarm fire.

Firing the senior leadership, scores of senior agents and hundreds of line agents will make us less safe from criminals and external threats. This is a catastrophe of yet incalculable proportions. These attacks on law enforcement are a menace to the American people.

Look, unilaterally cutting off federal grants and funding is likely unlawful. I’ve talked to a lot of people today who would like their voices heard on this.

I tried calling the White House, but their public comment line is closed.

They don’t want to hear from you, but I do.

During my time on Trump's National Security Council, I reviewed a lot of calls between Trump and foreign leaders.
One of, of course, was the call with President Zelenskyy. Another was with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman.

You know about Trump and Zelesnkyy’s call, but have you heard about the call between Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince? Watch my statement below. Mr. President, release the transcript.

I came to this country as a refugee. I served 25 years in uniform, including as prosecutor.

I now serve as Rep. for a large and wonderful population full of immigrants from all over the world.

I served 25 years in the Army. What I saw today was un-American. A VA ICU nurse is dead after federal agents were unleashed on a U.S. city at the whim of a sick and disturbed president.

▶

The fervor for war by this President who never served a day in uniform is deeply disturbing.

The American people have made clear that they are tired of war.

Last week, I demanded the truth about Donald Trump’s call with Mohammed bin Salman regarding the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Now, I’m being targeted in a sham investigation by DOW for calling this administration out on their corruption.

I'm not backing down. We will get the truth.

The voters made their voice heard. And now, Adelita Grijalva is officially certified to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

It’s time for Mike Johnson to stop playing games and swear in Adelita so she can get to working for the people of AZ-07.

Grocery bills keep going up while local food disappears from store shelves. That’s backwards. I introduced the bipartisan Cutting COSTS Act to bring down grocery bills for working families — and help small farms get their produce into grocery stores. It’s common sense.

Small farms are getting priced out of the system.

They’re forced to pay hundreds, even thousands, a year for food-safety audits just to access wholesale markets. Big farms can absorb it. Small farms can’t. The Cutting COSTS Act fixes that by reimbursing those costs and leveling the playing field.

New strikes in Yemen overnight: Anyone check the Houthi PC small group for updates?

Trump and his administration may be confused — but Russia is not our friend.

They threaten our allies, our interests, and our democracy.

All we need is one Republican to put country over party and help hold Russia accountable.

Tulsi Gabbard has a checkered history including peddling conspiracy theories and cozying up to dictators such as Bashar Al-Assad and Vladimir Putin.

▶

The very fact that Putin will be on American soil is a huge win for him.

First, he is legitimized and not a global pariah. Second, he would be subject to arrest in 123 countries due to his ICC arrest warrant.

Here is walking free.

If the Republican shutdown happens, I've requested that my congressional salary be withheld until it ends.

If Congress can't do their job, federal workers - including the thousands I represent in Virginia - won't get paid. As leaders, we need to share in the sacrifice.

When a rural hospital shuts its doors, it’s not just health care that disappears: it’s jobs, stability, and peace of mind. I’ll fight to protect these hospitals and keep care local.

Trump just launched a war in Iran — without Congress and without a plan.

As a 25-year vet who served in Iraq, I’ve seen how wars begin and how hard they are to end. Regime change from the air won’t work — but American troops will pay the price.

This is not peace. It’s chaos.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth just launched a sham investigation into me for my support for Ukraine, all because I demanded Trump’s call transcripts with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman be released. 

Instead of transparency, I was met with retaliation.
