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.

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.

Thousands of brave American women have made countless sacrifices to keep us safe and defend our democracy. A review of women’s military “effectiveness” undertaken by Anthony Tata and Pete Hegseth can’t be credible given their own troubled personal histories. youtube.com/shorts/8jsH-...

All legally-cast ballots must be counted. @markwarner.bsky.social and I are urging SCOTUS to protect vote-by-mail in an upcoming case that could lead to the disenfranchisement of millions of rural, military, and overseas voters.

Access to critical minerals is crucial to our national security, economy, and ability to compete with China. That’s why this week, I introduced bipartisan legislation to grow and strengthen the critical minerals workforce we need to get ahead.

Once again, Senate Republicans blocked legislation to extend ACA tax credits that keep health care coverage affordable. Republicans should listen to their constituents and join Democrats in voting to protect millions of Americans’ health care.

I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support. Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans. We are not going to stop fighting.
