119th Congress

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) announced  a multi-billion dollar investment from Micron Technology in its Manassas manufacturing facility. Congressman Subramanyam has worked with Micron to secure these investments in Virginia since his time in the Virginia General Assembly. Congressman Subramanyam plans to continue working with Micron to secure more investments like this one in the future. 

“I am thrilled to announce this historic investment by Micron in our community,” said Congressman Suhas Subramanyam. “This will bring more manufacturing jobs to Virginia, boost our local economy, and keep our country at the forefront of innovation and technology. I will continue to work tirelessly to secure more investments like this and bring high paying jobs to our community.”

“Micron's U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D plans underscore our commitment to driving innovation and strengthening the domestic semiconductor industry,” said Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “This approximately $200 billion investment will reinforce America’s technological leadership, create tens of thousands of American jobs across the semiconductor ecosystem and secure a domestic supply of semiconductors—critical to economic and national security. We are grateful for the support from President Trump, Secretary Lutnick and our federal, state and local partners who have been instrumental in advancing domestic semiconductor manufacturing.”

Micron also finalized a $275 million CHIPS Act direct funding award supporting its investment to expand and modernize its Manassas, Virginia facility, which has plans to begin this year. The investment will onshore Micron’s 1-alpha DRAM node, reinforcing the company’s ongoing commitment to key sectors including industrial, automotive, defense and aerospace, and medical

This investment includes semiconductor curriculum development, community college partnerships for apprenticeships, university partnerships and other programs aimed at expanding access to semiconductor careers. These efforts will be critical to building a robust talent pipeline that will support Micron’s long-term and U.S. technology leadership.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Subramanyam sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding that the Department of Justice release the Epstein files to the public immediately and without redaction. Earlier today, Elon Musk made claims that President Trump's name is included in said files.

Congressman Subramanyam also sent the letter to James Comer, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Anna Paulina Luna, Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, given their commitment to government transparency and the serious nature of the allegations.

In the letter to Attorney General Bondi, Congressman Subramanyam wrote: 

“As Attorney General of the United States, you have the power to release sensitive documents to provide transparency and accountability in government to the American people. Today, Elon Musk alleged that President Trump is in the Epstein files, and that this is the reason they have not yet been released publicly. 

This allegation raises serious questions about President Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and the American people have a right to this information. 

This administration and the Republican party trusted Musk with access to highly sensitive and classified data. He and his DOGE cronies spent months invading government systems, firing federal workers, and amassing Americans’ data. It is well within the realm of possibility that this included access to the Epstein files. 

As a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, I take this issue incredibly seriously. The American people have a right to know whether, and to what extent, their President was involved in the crimes of a sexual predator.”

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) introduced a resolution to designate May as PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) Awareness Month. Congressman Subramanyam’s mentor and predecessor, Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, was diagnosed with PSP in September 2023. 

In honor of May, which is often recognized as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) Awareness Month, Congressman Subramanyam introduced this resolution in Congress to spread awareness of PSP, recognize people who have been diagnosed with the disease, and celebrate those working hard to find treatments and cures.

“PSP is a heartbreaking condition that thousands of Americans, including my dear friend Congresswoman Wexton, suffer through,” said Congressman Subramanyam. “We must support all research to improve treatments and ultimately find a cure. I am proud to have the support of my colleagues from both sides of the aisle in recognizing this month and the importance of unlocking a cure.”

“I know personally how scary and devastating a condition PSP can be for those battling it and our loved ones,” said Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton. “Since my diagnosis, I’ve done all I can to use my platform to bring greater attention to this disease which impacts tens of thousands of Americans, and push for greater investments to prevent, improve treatments, and ultimately cure this terrible disease. I’m proud that so many of my former colleagues from both sides of the aisle have joined Congressman Subramanyam and me this week to raise awareness of what PSP is and the urgent need to step up our fight against it.” 

PSP is a neurodegenerative condition that progresses because of a damaging build-up of a protein in the brain called tau. This disease is particularly harmful to parts of the brain that control speech, balance, coordination, and eye-movement, and can have incredibly scary impacts on the quality of life and life expectancy for patients. Most people who suffer from PSP will become dependent on care in just three to four years.

Despite the aggressive nature of PSP, and its impact on over 30,000 individuals and their families, most people have never heard of PSP. It is believed to be as common as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but it does not receive the same type of recognition or funding for research. Right now, there are no known disease-modifying treatments or a cure for PSP. Congressman Subramanyam’s resolution aims to increase awareness, encourage research, and ultimately, help find a cure. 

Original cosponsors of this resolution include Representatives Jake Auchincloss (D-MA-4), Don Bacon (R-NE-2), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL-9), Julia Brownley (D-CA-29), Emmanuel Cleaver (D-MI-5), Steve Cohen (D-TN-9), Suzan DelBene (D-WA-1), Valerie Foushee (D-NC-4), Mike Kelly (R-PA-16), Doris Matsui (D-CA-7), Jennifer McClellan (D-VA-4), Jim McGovern (D-MA-2), Mike Quigley (D-IL-5), Mark Pocan (D-WI-2), Pat Ryan (D-NY-18), Andrea Salinas (D-OR-6), Mary Scanlon (D-PA-5), Hillary Scholten (D-MI-3), David Scott (D-GA-13), Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ-11), Melanie Stansbury (D-NM-28), Greg Stanton (D-AZ-4), Sylvia Garcia (D-TX-29), Shri Thanedar (D-MI-13), Paul Tonko (D-NY-20), and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ-12).

Washington, D.C. – Today, Representatives Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA-10), Don Beyer (D-VA-8), and Gabe Amo (D-RI-1) led 16 of their colleagues in requesting that the Department of Transportation (DOT) facilitate an independent review of Washington, DC airspace as part of the Appropriations Committee’s Fiscal Year 2026 transportation funding bill. Such a review is warranted following the collision that occurred between an Army UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines Flight 5342 near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) on January 29, 2025 that resulted in the deaths of sixty-seven individuals. The request asks for the review to be conducted by an independent panel and that the results of that review be released and made available to Congress. 

“We’re deeply grateful to Congressmen Subramanyam, Beyer, and Amo, along with their colleagues, for advancing this bipartisan request to help ensure DCA is safer for the public. Our family group developed this independent review of DCA as one of our seven reform priorities because we believe that public trust can only be rebuilt through transparency, accountability, and a willingness to learn from the systemic failures that led to the January 29 crash,” said Families of Flight 5342, a group formed by family members of those lost aboard Flight 5342 to advance aviation safety reform. “We strongly urge the Subcommittee to adopt this request. It represents a critical step in the broader effort to honor the loved ones we lost and make our skies safer for all.”

The members highlighted that the airspace above and around our nation's capital is highly complex, with large volumes of commercial, law enforcement, and military aircraft operating in close proximity. DCA has the busiest runway in the country, and the members specifically requested that the review evaluate DCA’s current total flight volume.

They emphasized that the review should be conducted by an independent panel of experts in aviation safety, airspace operations, and civil-military coordination selected by the Department of Transportation in consultation with the National Transportation Safety Board, and the relevant congressional committees.

Their request asked the review assess: historical and ongoing risks associated with DCA airspace design and usage, including historical incidents relevant to current protocols and whether DCA's current flight volume exceeds the airport's operational capabilities within normal operating hours; the adequacy of coordination protocols between the FAA, Department of Defense, and other entities involved in or affected by airspace coordination; patterns of near-miss incidents involving military aircraft; and structural, cultural, or procedural barriers to risk identification and accountability.

In the letter, the Members wrote: “While the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) investigation into the collision is ongoing, there are other sources of expertise that can contribute to the safety of this airspace, military service members, and the traveling public. We believe that an independent review of the airspace, coordination between civil and military air traffic, and operational safety, including whether DCA's current total flight volume exceeds the airport's operational capabilities within normal operating hours, could provide valuable insight to Congress and the relevant federal agencies as they develop policies to improve airspace safety.”

The panel’s findings and recommendations would be required to be published online and shared with the relevant congressional committees within 180 days of the panel’s formation.

The letter was signed by Ranking Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Rick Larsen as well as Reps. André Carson, Sharice L. Davids, Cleo Fields, Steny H. Hoyer, Glenn Ivey, John B. Larson, Seth Magaziner, Jennifer L. McClellan, Seth Moulton, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Jamie Raskin, Shri Thanedar, William Timmons, Jill Tokuda, and Paul Tonko.

“I am proud to have rejected the Tax Scam bill. By supporting this bill, House Republicans and this Administration broke their promises to the American people.

They promised they wouldn't cut Medicaid, yet this bill takes away access to care and dignity for 13.7 million Americans. They promised they would address waste, fraud, and abuse yet this bill makes it easier to fire the very people in the federal government who prevent it and who make government efficient. They promised to lower the national debt, yet this bill increases it by $4 trillion. And they promised they would support working families, but this bill will strip $300 billion in SNAP benefits from kids and families. 

The only promise they fulfilled is to mortgage our country's present and future to fund giveaways to their billionaire and corporate donors, who will receive the majority of the benefit from these policies that have failed time and time again. 

I urge the Senate to reject these misguided policies and work on a bipartisan way to address the health, safety, and prosperity of our country.”

“I am heartbroken to hear about the passing of Congressman Gerry Connolly. 

Gerry was a colleague, a mentor, and above all, my friend. His humor, his toughness, and his love for his community and country made him one of the most effective members of Congress.  

In his decades of service to Fairfax County and Northern Virginia, Gerry was the epitome of a selfless statesman, touching so many lives and uplifting the most vulnerable. 

He was a lion of Northern Virginia politics and always a sounding board and partner on the campaign trail. In recent months, his mentorship helped me transition into Congress and onto the Oversight Committee, a committee where his years of leadership has improved the lives of countless federal workers and Northern Virginia families. 

My thoughts are with his beloved wife, Cathy, their daughter, Caitlin, his staff, and all who had the fortune of knowing him.”
