Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07)

One year ago this week, Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill. 
 
The results?

❌More than 5 MILLION have lost health insurance.

❌4 MILLION people — including 1 MILLION children — have been kicked off SNAP.

Trump just lied to you.

It’s hard to imagine a more revealing admission that your agenda is failing than having to rely on a debunked conspiracy theory to manufacture political support.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com

President Trump, his political appointees and Republican lawmakers have repeatedly argued that Beijing has sought to directly influence U.S. presidential elections, despite intelligence assessments suggesting otherwise.

Live updates: Trump gives speech on election security

The president has called the issue crucial. Democrats say he is recycling debunked claims.

A woman's health care decisions belong to her, not the government. 

In Congress, I'll always defend the right to abortion and contraception.

There is nothing better than celebrating America’s birthday alongside friends and neighbors.

It was great to join the Dale City Fourth of July Parade and recognize the values of freedom, service, and community that make our country strong.

No more endless wars.

No more blank checks.

No more asking American service members and their families to bear the cost of Republicans’ failed political decisions.

18 Americans have already made the ultimate sacrifice.

Everywhere I go, I hear from veterans facing long wait times because of understaffing at the Fredericksburg VA.

That's unacceptable.

I'm leading bipartisan legislation to increase transparency, improve accountability, and help ensure veterans get the care they earned.

Veterans shouldn't have to wait months for the care they earned. 

Yet that's exactly what too many are experiencing because of chronic understaffing at the Fredericksburg VA Health Care Center. 

I’m leading a bill to require the VA to publicly report staffing shortages.

While Americans are struggling with higher costs, Trump is raking in billions from his personal ventures.

No elected official should be able to profit from public office. We need higher ethical standards in Washington.

Trump hauled in over $2B while in the Oval Office That’s $2B he made off the presidency while Americans paid higher prices, lost services, & watched their govt. get run for his benefit, not theirs R's in Congress MUST act My full @democracydefendersaction.org statement 👇

Thank you to everyone who came out in Barboursville yesterday!

The path to the House majority runs through Virginia’s Seventh District, and this grassroots support is what will make it possible.

This Gun Violence Awareness Month, we honor the lives lost to gun violence and recommit ourselves to creating safer communities for every family.

In Congress, I'm committed to working across the aisle to reduce gun violence, protect our communities, and keep families safe.

11 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that marriage equality is the law of the land. 🏳️‍🌈

As we close out Pride Month, we celebrate those whose love was respected by this historic ruling, and we reaffirm that everyone deserves the freedom to marry the person they love.

On July 20, 2012, 12 people were killed and 70 more were injured in a shooting in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.

Far too many families have endured the same heartbreak in the years since.

We owe them more than thoughts and prayers.

Sixty years ago, Medicare coverage began, transforming health care for millions of Americans. 

Today, that promise is under attack. 

This administration's cuts to Medicare will put Virginians' lives at risk. 

I'm working to protect Medicare and strengthen it for future generations.

Housing costs are crushing families, and Trump is threatening to block the most significant housing affordability legislation in decades, including my bill to increase housing supply.

Extreme Republicans say they want to lower costs. Their actions say otherwise.

Vindman votes yes to 'historic' housing package, Trump holds off

Congress celebrates bipartisan bill, one of the federal government’s largest investments in housing, while president wants passage of his elections security measure first.

The momentum behind our grassroots campaign sends a clear message: this movement is only growing stronger, and we're ready to keep fighting for the future Virginia deserves.

🚨 I’m honored to earn the endorsement of SEIU Virginia State Council.

I'm grateful for their partnership as we fight to lower costs, protect workers, and build an economy that works for all Virginians.

Team Vindman knocked on hundreds of doors for National Dem Summer Weekend of Action!

Thank you to @jamieraskin.com.web.brid.gy for joining me in Woodbridge to mobilize and connect with voters in Virginia’s Seventh District! We’re putting in the work to keep this seat blue and win big in November.

Service members are entrusted with sensitive information that keeps our country safe. That should never be used for profit.

I'm proud that my Honor and Trust in Service Act was included in the NDAA.

This is an important step toward protecting the integrity of our military and national security.

Nitazenes are stronger and deadlier than fentanyl, and they're fueling the next wave of the overdose crisis. 

That's why I introduced the first-ever bill in Congress to address their rise.

We must act now to stop these deadly synthetic opioids from claiming more lives.

Chinese suppliers are advertising nitazenes — more potent than fentanyl — online - The World from PRX

For years, fentanyl has dominated the opioid crisis in the US — but there’s an up-and-coming class of synthetic opioids emerging called nitazenes, drugs that can be 40 times more potent than fentanyl ...

Our veterans kept their promise to America.

We need to keep ours.

I'm leading bipartisan legislation to increase transparency at the VA and help address understaffing so veterans get the timely care they earned.

Today, we commemorate the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — a landmark law that helped dismantle segregation and expand equal opportunity in America.

We honor the courage of those who fought for justice and remain committed to building a more equal nation.

Today, the House passed a War Powers Resolution to bring this senseless conflict to an end.

The Senate must do the same.

I'll continue fighting for common sense gun safety measures that keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous people and protect our communities.

Reply to @gene4va.bsky.social

These weren't unintended consequences.

They were the result of deliberate choices made by rubber-stamp Republicans.
