09/21/2022 Tweet - "BREAKING: FOLKS, WE DID IT! My bill to help those that are stuck in consolidated student loans passed the House, and it's headed to the President's desk for a final signature. I've been working on getting these borrowers justice for so many years, and finally it is within reach!"
05/18/2022 Tweet - "Every student deserves a nutritious lunch, and schools need to be able to avoid bureaucracy to make that happen. That's why I'm supporting @SenStabenow 's Support Kids Not Red Tape Act, which will extend a pandemic benefit and support kids and schools."
05/06/2022 Tweet - "Did you know some folks can be liable for an ex-spouse's student loans (even if they were abusive or neglected to pay) because of a defunct program? In the Senate, I told the story of Sarah, a single mom affected by these loans. I have a bill to get justice for these borrowers."

03/03/2022 Tweet - "I joined a bipartisan resolution today to condemn the bomb threats we've seen at HBCUs across the country and in Virginia. I'll continue speaking out about hate and white supremacy, and I'm seeking further briefings about the perpetrators behind these acts of terror."
02/28/2022 Tweet - "I was proud to support Dr. Trent to become the leader of @WHI_HBCUs . Dietra worked with me when I was Governor and Senator and was a tireless advocate for Virginians. Her appointment is great news for Virginia and the nation's HBCUs."
02/26/2022 Tweet - "There have been at least 57 bomb threats against HBCUs in the past 2 months. Let's call it what it is: unconscionable acts of attempted terror against students and faculty. I'm seeking further briefings on the matter and consequences for the perpetrators."
02/25/2022 Tweet - "I'm extremely disturbed by the continuing bomb threats against HBCUs, now targeting three institutions in VA. We cannot allow these acts of attempted terror to continue -- I'm committed to combating hate, extremism, and white supremacy in all its forms."
02/15/2022 Tweet - "Every Virginian child deserves a world-class education -- I'll keep supporting legislation and programs that make that happen."
02/14/2022 Tweet - "Some Americans are stuck paying for their former partner's student loans -- including victims of domestic violence. I'm working on a bill to change that."

02/02/2022 Tweet - "I'm deeply disturbed by the bomb threats against HBCUs -- these acts of attempted terror are clear reminders that violent extremism and white supremacy are on the rise. I've requested a briefing and remain committed to combatting hate in all its forms."

12/16/2021 Tweet - "ICYMI: The recently passed bipartisan defense bill contains a provision I championed alongside my friend @SenSherrodBrown to make sure HBCUs in Virginia and nationally get their fair share of research defense funding."
