My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social condemning provisions in the GOP tax plan that would eliminate gun safety measures:

"The Republican tax plan being pushed through Congress not only cuts critical services Virginians rely on in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires, but it also makes our communities less safe by weakening gun safety measures on silencers. Part of the reason that these registration and ownership requirements exist is because silencers, like the one that was used in the Virginia Beach mass shooting, make it harder for law enforcement to locate and respond to an active shooter. Americans deserve to feel safe in their communities, and we will oppose this disastrous bill when it comes to the Senate floor."

My statement on President Donald Trump’s revival of his travel ban policy.

"Trump has said again that the latest travel ban is about targeting Muslims. So I’ll repeat what I said the last time he implemented this disgusting policy: Religious freedom is a Virginia value through and through, and it’s the First Amendment to the Constitution for good reason. Thomas Jefferson himself said we do not prefer or punish people in this country because of how they worship or whether or not they choose to worship. We forced Trump to explain himself in court last time, and we’ll do it again."

Can’t keep track of everything in the ridiculous GOP budget bill? You’re not alone. Here are five crazy facts about the bill to get you caught up:

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 4(source)

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on a new analysis revealing 16 million Americans would lose their health insurance under the Republican tax plan:

“Sixteen million people. That’s the cost of the Republican plan. This is not just a number – it represents moms, dads, kids, veterans, and retirees who will be forced to choose between rent and life-saving care. At a time when costs are already too high for too many Americans, this plan would rip coverage away from millions just to hand tax breaks to the wealthiest. It’s cruel, it’s shortsighted, and we are going to fight like hell to stop it.”

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 4(source)

Hi, folks! There’s a lot of awful stuff in the GOP tax bill—it’s hard to keep track. If you’ve been wanting to ask a senator about it, today you can! I’ll be on the @senatedems livestream on Instagram at 5 PM today answering questions from those who hop on. Hope to see y’all there.

During this year’s Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, I’m thinking of my sister-in-law Tayloe who died in March after a courageous 15-year battle with Alzheimer’s. I’m fighting for more research, more prevention and treatment options, and more support for caregivers.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the House-passed Republican budget bill that will make tax filing more expensive:

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 3(source)

The Department of Homeland Security put out a list of “sanctuary jurisdictions” in VA, including Martinsville County, which doesn't even exist! Per state law, there are no sanctuary cities or counties in VA. After I pointed that out, DHS deleted the list. Amateur hour.

I was horrified by the attack on peaceful protestors in Boulder on the eve of Shavuot. Violence has no place in our communities and we must condemn bigotry and antisemitism in all its forms. I’m grateful for the first responders and praying for the survivors and their families.

The GOP tax bill cuts SNAP (nutrition assistance) benefits for over 204,000 Virginians. Yesterday I toured Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank to highlight their critical work and heard powerful stories from SNAP recipients about how important SNAP is. I will always work to protect this vital program.

June is PTSD Awareness Month. Millions of Americans live with post-traumatic stress and deserve reliable access to quality mental health care. This month and always, I am dedicated to expanding access to care.

Happy Pride Month, Virginia! This year, especially, we celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ community and strive to make our nation a better, more accepting place for future generations. Today and always, I stand alongside the LGBTQ+ community to fight for equality for all.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 31(source)

Today, we honor and remember the 12 lives tragically lost six years ago in the horrific shooting in Virginia Beach. We must end gun violence by preserving and strengthening our gun safety laws to prevent future tragedies and protect our communities.

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

I condemn the Department of Labor’s decision to shut down Jobs Corps centers, including those in Monroe and Marion. These programs are a lifeline for young people in need—giving them direction and skills and helping them enter the workforce. This is not progress.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 29(source)

I forced a Senate vote on these tariffs weeks ago to clarify whether my colleagues stood by their constituents or followed Trump like lemmings. I welcome the Court ruling, and I’ll keep forcing votes every time I can to challenge Trump’s unlawful behavior.

On this Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Together, we honor and express our deep gratitude to them and recommit to supporting Gold Star families.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 25(source)

It's been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered. I'm disturbed that the DOJ recently halted ongoing investigations and dropped police agreements put in place after his death and other similar incidents to improve oversight and prevent tragedies. That's dangerous.
