Ten years ago, SCOTUS legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then, thousands of LGBTQ+ couples have celebrated their love at the wedding altar. As Trump and MAGA try to roll back their rights, I’ll keep fighting for these hard-won freedoms.

The GOP budget bill would rip critical funding away from public schools and hurt our students—especially the approximately 7.5 million students with disabilities. We must work to strengthen our public schools rather than divert funds to a system that benefits a select few.

Three years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision, which has resulted in women dying after being denied reproductive care. I’m committed to restoring Americans’ freedom to make their own health care decisions.

Last week, I argued we shouldn’t send America’s sons and daughters into war with Iran without Congress debating and voting on it, as required by the Constitution. As the situation in the Middle East changes by the minute, it’s crucial Congress doesn’t shirk its responsibilities.

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

The GOP’s proposed cuts to Medicaid would be devastating for millions of Americans, including children with disabilities. I’m grateful families who would be impacted by these cuts are sharing their stories with Congress. We can’t let this bill become law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/u...

‘Little Lobbyists’ Urge Senators to Oppose Trump’s Bill Cutting Medicaid

Trump’s war on Iran is about regime change. There was no nuclear emergency. The U.S. led regime change in Iran in 1953, Afghanistan in 2001, Iraq in 2002. All created regional havoc and cost U.S. lives. No more U.S. wars in Middle East! thehill.com/policy/inter...

Happy World Music Day! Music has played an instrumental role in my life, connected me to countless people, and I’m overjoyed by any opportunity to share with Virginians my passion for playing the harmonica.

Yesterday, I joined the NAACP Loudoun Branch’s annual Juneteenth March in Leesburg. It was a powerful reminder that while we’ve made a lot of progress, we must continue to work together to fight for true freedom and equality.

This World Refugee Day, I’m thinking of the millions of people displaced by persecution and violence. I condemn the Trump Admin’s decision to halt refugee resettlement—slamming the door on thousands of people who have been properly vetted and approved to come to the U.S.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 19(source)

Happy Juneteenth! On this day, we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and reaffirm our commitment to striving toward a more just and equal America for all.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 18(source)

The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. That’s why I filed a resolution to require a debate and vote in Congress before we send our nation’s men and women in uniform into harm’s way. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

Opinion | America Must Not Rush Into a War Against Iran

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 17(source)

I wrote this eight years ago. Destroying diplomacy escalates the risk of war. I pray that the Trump Administration will embrace diplomacy this time and reduce the risk of war. time.com/4958238/tim-...

The U.S. should not join a war against Iran, and I will ask the Senate to stop such a reckless idea. Have we learned nothing from 20+ years of war in the Middle East? www.axios.com/2025/06/14/i...

Israel urges U.S. to join war with Iran to eliminate nuclear program

Israel needs the U.S. to join the war in order to destroy Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment site.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! My dad Al is the best. He turns 91 this year and just celebrated his 68th anniversary with my mom, Kathleen.

The horrific aircraft crash near DCA that stole 67 lives this past January was an unimaginable tragedy. We owe it to those lost and their loved ones to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Here’s my plan: youtu.be/uY6P3lnQD4g

We’ve been in dialogue with laid-off federal workers and contractors and tried to point out helpful resources. Here’s a great opportunity—a Career Transitions Workshop at Heritage Fellowship Church in Reston tomorrow, June 14, at 9:00 AM.

77 years ago today, President Truman opened our Armed Services to women who wanted to serve. Happy Women Veterans Recognition Day to all our women veterans and thank you for all you’ve done in service of our nation. I will continue to work to honor your bravery and sacrifice.

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov is an attempt to intimidate anyone with a dissenting view of this Administration and stop them from exercising their First Amendment rights. We will not be silenced. youtu.be/7dNpkFlP0BQ
