Today, I talked with State Department officers who were arbitrarily laid off by President Trump. From counterterrorism and embassy security, to protecting human rights around the world—their jobs are critical. Losing this expertise puts our security and prosperity at serious risk.

Never a bad time to remind everyone you know that Trump ran on making things more affordable. Instead he imposes new & crushing taxes through his tariffs—and makes the largest cuts to health care EVER, while ensuring higher premiums for everyone.

This administration is saying the quiet part out loud: they want to dismantle social security.

Trump's Treasury Secretary says the Trump Accounts created by the budget bill are a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security"

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on this week’s National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) hearing about the tragic January 29 crash near DCA:

"We owe it to the loved ones of those we lost in the fatal mid-air collision near DCA on January 29 that we make sure another tragedy like this never happens again. In the hours, days, and months since the accident, we have engaged with the families that were directly impacted, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Army. We have been following the ongoing collision investigation closely, and were struck by testimony during yesterday’s NTSB hearing from an FAA official who voiced concerns over congestion at the airport years ago and proposed reducing traffic, but was rebuffed by his managers because of conversations in Congress at the time about adding even more flights into and out of DCA. While we recognize that various factors contributed to the crash and continue to work with our colleagues to address them, this testimony underscores a clear takeaway: Congress must act to reduce dangerous congestion by removing flights into and out of DCA."

Unbelievable: Trump is punishing Americans with a 50% tax on Brazilian goods—all because he’s mad Brazil is prosecuting his friend, former Brazilian President Bolsonaro, for attempting a coup. Personal grievances shouldn’t dictate policy. I’m challenging these Trump taxes.

Seaman Angelina Resendiz was a dedicated servicemember who tragically lost her life while stationed at Naval Station Norfolk. @markwarner.bsky.social and I are demanding answers from the Navy on the circumstances of her death and disappearance.

It was great to meet with lawmakers from Brazil yesterday in D.C. to discuss the need to maintain our strong trade relationship and push back on Trump’s senseless trade threats. I look forward to working together to expand this great partnership that’s bigger than any one party.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid and our legislation to repeal the health care provisions in Trump and Republicans’ ‘Big, Ugly Bill’:

"In the 60 years since President Johnson signed the law that established Medicare and Medicaid, millions of Americans have been able to access the health care they need. Sadly, instead of strengthening these programs, President Trump and Republicans’ ‘Big, Ugly Bill’ will do the opposite and kick people off their health insurance under Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act,” said the senators. “We will all be better off if more people can access health insurance, and that’s why we’re proud to join our colleagues in introducing legislation to repeal the health care changes in the disastrous Republican law and extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced tax credits so Virginians can continue to access care."

The violent attack on Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler is deeply upsetting. I’m praying for Lee’s full recovery and for his family. I’m thankful law enforcement swiftly identified and apprehended a suspect.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 30(source)

SNAP doesn’t just feed hungry kids and families–it sets individuals up for a lifetime of better health. Remind me again, why are Republicans and Trump gutting this lifesaving program? Oh yeah, tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Again. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Federal food assistance program may slow cognitive decline, study suggests

New research links receiving food assistance through SNAP to better brain health. Earlier this month, Trump enacted major cuts to the program.

I’m horrified by reports that over 700 starving people have been killed and thousands more injured while seeking food near or at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites. I'm demanding the Administration focus on supporting orgs that effectively ensure aid reaches civilians in need.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 27(source)

On National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, we remember and honor the servicemembers who fought valiantly in the Korean War. Today also serves as a reminder to uphold their legacies by continuing to stand up for democracy around the world.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 26(source)

Today in 1948, President Truman desegregated the military. Sadly, Trump and Hegseth are attacking efforts to recruit and retain people from all backgrounds in the military. Truman knew then that diversity makes us stronger. Why doesn't the Administration know now?

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 26(source)

Thirty-five years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, protecting millions of Americans with disabilities from discrimination. Now, Trump is rolling back this hard-won progress, but I'll continue fighting these threats.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 26(source)

No one works harder for Virginia than Speaker Don Scott. I’m deeply grateful that he took time out of his busy schedule crisscrossing the Commonwealth to share words of wisdom with my team today about the value of public service and perseverance.

Trump’s trade wars have forced small businesses across VA to make tough decisions about how they’ll continue to operate. That’s why I introduced legislation to exempt small businesses from Trump’s tariffs on Canada, one of our top trading partners. Let's get it done.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 24(source)

Trump cruelly cancelled a pilot program Spotsylvania County Public Schools participated in to support students with disabilities. Our students and schools deserve so much better, so @repvindman.bsky.social and I introduced a bill that would force Trump to change course.

Now we see why Trump has done a 180 on releasing the Epstein files.

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 23(source)

Trump broke his promise to release the Epstein files. Just like he broke his promise to: • Not cut Medicaid • Lower costs • End the war in Ukraine in 24 hours Promises he's kept? Cutting taxes for the ultra-wealthy and pardoning January 6 insurrectionists.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 23(source)

Trump promised to bring down costs. But in every corner of Virginia, I hear about rising prices. Trump's tariffs are making groceries more expensive, and the recent cuts to nutrition assistance he signed into law will only make it harder for working families to make ends meet.
