Last week, I met with leadership at Augusta Medical Center in Fisherville to learn about how they’re providing care for the community. I’ll keep working to protect Virginians’ health care, including by pushing to reverse the Republican cuts to Medicaid.

Folks, roads are still rough throughout much of the region following last weekend’s winter storm. I encourage everyone to keep an eye out for road and public transportation updates to best keep you and your family safe.

The horrific shooting of Alex Pretti has only sharpened the position I announced last Friday—the House-passed bill funding Homeland Security is a non-starter because it lacks sufficient safeguards against abuse and accountability for those who have used their power to brutalize our communities.

My statement on the House-passed government funding bills:

If the Senate were to vote on these appropriations bills individually, I would support some of them. But the House is bundling six bills into a single package a week before a budget deadline and skipping town to try and jam senators into a single up or down vote.

Appropriations bills shouldn’t just fund priorities; they should also place restraints on a runaway executive. (1/3)

Where are the funding restrictions to stop the President from unilaterally taking our sons and daughters into illegal wars, even endless wars, even wars against allies? Or to block deploying our troops against American citizens, as he has done and is threatening to do again? Or to impose effective safeguards against ICE operations that inflame tensions within our cities, terrorize our communities, and make all of us less safe? Or to stop the wholesale firing of federal employees and the unilateral cancellation of congressionally-appropriated dollars? (2/3)

Where are guardrails to stop the President from targeting states, like Virginia, that voted against him during his three presidential campaigns?

We are not living in normal times. The President is acting chaotically and unlawfully and we shouldn’t give his deranged decisions the imprimatur of congressional approval by passing this legislation without significant amendment. (3/3)

This week, I visited Naval Medical Center Portsmouth to hear from leadership about how they’re providing world-class care to military families and the community. I'll continue to do all I can in the Armed Services Committee to support our servicemembers.

Glad to tour the Spotsy Career & Technical Center and meet with students and staff to learn how students are learning the skills needed for high-demand careers. I've been proud to pass legislation to expand access to job training and will keep working to support CTE as an education committee member.

Today in Culpeper, I spoke with health care providers and community members to discuss federal cuts to the ACA and Medicaid and ways to grow the health care workforce. I’ll keep working to support providers and ensure families can access the care they need.

Today, I toured the Portsmouth Marine Terminal and was updated on the progress made on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. This incredible project will bolster offshore wind in VA, lower costs, and grow the local economy.

This morning, I spoke with patients, providers, and health care advocates in Hampton about how cuts to Medicaid and the ACA are hurting Virginians. I'll keep fighting to protect and expand critical health care access.

The writing is on the wall: Trump’s disastrous tariffs are nothing more than a new sales tax for hardworking American families. The House needs to face the music and vote on my Senate-passed, bipartisan legislation overturning these tariffs. www.axios.com/2026/01/20/a...

Today, I visited Healthy Community Health Centers in Harrisonburg to hear about how cuts to Medicaid and other federal policy changes are affecting their ability to provide care and hire staff. I’ll keep working to reverse these cuts and boost the health care workforce.

My prayers are with the loved ones of Dr. Gladys West, a trailblazer and mathematician from Virginia whose contributions laid the groundwork for GPS technology. The legacy of her fortitude, tenacity, and brilliance will live on for generations to come. www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Dr. King’s words continue to inspire many Americans, including myself. Today and always, we honor his legacy by affirming our commitment to fighting for justice, combating hate, and advancing toward the North Star of equality.

A huge win for VA: after @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, and I filed an amicus brief in court, a judge ruled that Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind will resume construction! This project will create jobs, lower costs, and cement VA as a leader in this industry.

I'm glad U.S. religious institutions, including my Parish in VA, will not lose foreign-born religious workers who are vital parts of our communities, thanks to a DHS regulation change. Now Congress must pass my bipartisan bill to further streamline the process for these workers.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJan 16(source)

Faith plays a very important role in my life and the lives of so many other Americans. I’m proud today is National Religious Freedom Day, which marks the 240th anniversary of the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJan 16(source)

In a health committee hearing, I stated a plain truth: women die under abortion bans. These heartbreaking stories deserve to be told. I will keep working to honor their memory by passing legislation to safeguard reproductive freedom.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJan 16(source)

Awful: The Trump Administration announced the termination of nearly $2 billion in substance use recovery and mental health grants—only to reverse course when folks called out that people would die as a result of these cuts. This Administration is playing games with people’s lives.

Breaking News: A day after the Trump administration said it was cutting $2 billion in mental health funding, it reversed itself and reinstated the money.
