Happy Pride Month, Virginia! This month, we celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ community while continuing to push for safe, inclusive communities for all. No one deserves to be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love.

Military spouses’ access to jobs is critical to the prosperity of our military families and the strength of our national security. Great piece about this topic and the importance of passing my Military Spouse Hiring Act. Give it a read: www.dailypress.com/2026/05/25/e...
The Ebola outbreak in the DRC shows why President Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization and humanitarian aid cuts are a big mistake. Infectious diseases don't know borders, and the Trump-Vance Admin’s chaotic and anti-science health policies make us all less safe.
6 years ago today, George Floyd was murdered—shining a floodlight on the work that remains ahead to stamp out racism and law enforcement misconduct. I remain committed to pushing for legislation to address those challenges and make America safer for everyone.
On this Memorial Day, we remember the courage of all servicemembers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Today, let’s continue to honor them by supporting all servicemembers, veterans, military families, and their loved ones.

Great to join @microntech.bsky.social in Manassas to celebrate the manufacturing of a new memory chip! I’m proud of what we’ve done through the CHIPS Act to expand chips manufacturing. I’ll keep working to strengthen this supply chain, protect our national security, and grow our economy.

Happy 102nd Birthday to the U.S. Foreign Service! Today, we celebrate the Foreign Service Officers who strengthen America’s partnerships and advance security worldwide. I will continue to stand with them against dangerous cuts and firings that make the United States less safe.
Yesterday I joined veterans and @duckworth.senate.gov, @kim.senate.gov, and @gallego.senate.gov to highlight the many ways the Trump-Vance Administration's reckless Iran war is hurting our servicemembers and veteran communities. Congress owes it to them to stop the war.

Great to join FIGS and so many health care heroes this morning. I'm grateful for their support to help us reauthorize the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act. I'll keep working to fully fund mental health programs for our dedicated health care workers.

It was a great morning celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month with @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, @ltgovhashmi.bsky.social, and Virginia’s AANHPI community.

We all benefit from great teachers, firefighters, nonprofit hospital staff, and other public servants. But now the Trump-Vance Administration wants to gut a critical program enacted by Congress to encourage folks to get trained for these jobs. Here’s what I’m doing about it:
Honored to receive @fp4america.bsky.social's Legislative Achievement Award alongside Sen. Todd Young yesterday for our work to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Iraq AUMFs and formally end the Iraq Wars. So grateful to the many partners who helped us get this done.
Kaine delivers remarks after receiving FP4A's Legislative Achievement Award.
Salvadoran human rights lawyer Ruth López was unjustly detained in El Salvador after speaking out about corruption and human rights abuses. As we mark one year of her detention, I call on the Bukele regime to release her and reaffirm our commitment to rule of law.
For 61 years, Head Start has helped children in Virginia and across the nation access education and health care. As the Trump-Vance Administration threatens programs families rely on, I remain committed to protecting these services that support our children's futures.
Today, on National Armed Forces Day, we recognize and thank the brave women and men in uniform for their service. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I will continue to advocate for Virginia’s servicemembers and their families.
Virginia’s veterans deserve high-quality, timely care. But the VA has eliminated more than 1,700 positions in Virginia in a matter of months. @markwarner.bsky.social and I are pressing the Administration about how this will affect patient care. We urge them to reverse course.
