I met with R.O.P.E.S. program participants and partners in Richlands to discuss how federal funding I secured is helping folks in substance use recovery access resources and get jobs. We also discussed more that needs to be done, including passing my PEER Support Act.

74 years ago, Barbara Johns organized a student walkout in Farmville to protest unequal treatment of African American students. These courageous efforts were taken up by the NAACP and incorporated into Brown v. Board of Ed, the SCOTUS decision that outlawed school segregation.

It’s Infertility Awareness Week. Infertility impacts 1 in 6 worldwide. Trump signed a performative executive order claiming to expand IVF access, all while cutting data collection on IVF clinics. Congress must pass our bill to protect access to infertility treatments like IVF.

Yesterday in Wytheville, I talked with older Virginians, health care providers, and advocates about the need to protect Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and PACE programs from cuts by the Trump Administration. Virginians rely on these services. Hurting them is unacceptable.

Pope Francis found the strength to hope by leaning on his faith and his connection to others, even on days—especially on days—when hope seemed distant. And we can do the same. richmond.com/opinion/colu...
Tim Kaine: Pope Francis stood for the 'least of these.' So should we
Pope Francis addressed Congress in 2015 and reminded us that day of our common responsibility to the least of these, focusing particularly on the needs of refugees fleeing violence and starvation. And...

I sat down with Virginians in Danville today to talk about the Southside economy and other issues, including the chaos created by Trump’s broad-based tariffs. We must pass my bill to undo his universal tariffs.

Happy Earth Day! Getting outside is one of my favorite things to do, which is why I’m proud to have helped pass legislation like the Great American Outdoors Act to help preserve the beauty of our natural wonders for generations to come. Enjoy the great outdoors today!

Grateful for my visits alongside the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw with Polish leaders and U.S. servicemembers at sites that have been instrumental in supporting Ukraine's humanitarian and security needs. We all have a vested interest in standing up against Putin's brutal invasion.

From my family to yours, Happy Easter! I hope that everyone celebrating in the Commonwealth and across the world has a joyous celebration and gets to spend time with loved ones today.

Happy National Park Week! I encourage everyone to celebrate by visiting one of Virginia’s 22 National Park sites—they’re all free today. I’ll continue to do all I can to protect the National Park Service from DOGE cuts and preserve Virginia’s natural wonders for future generations.

82 years ago today, Jews living in the Nazi-created Warsaw Ghetto undertook an armed uprising against Hitler's occupying forces in what would become the largest single revolt by Jews during World War II. This week, I visited the POLIN Museum in Warsaw to honor their bravery.

Medicaid matters to all who count on it. In VA, that includes: • 62% of nursing home residents • 31% of kids • 1 in 3 births • 319,000 people with disabilities I’m committed to fighting against the Republican plan to strip Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

Middle-class families can’t afford Trump’s new national sales tax. I’ll keep doing all I can to reassert Congress’ authority in matters of trade and fight to keep your everyday costs from going up.

Our colleges, students, and economy benefit when students from around the world come to Virginia schools. So why is the Trump Administration revoking their visas without explanation? @markwarner.bsky.social and I demand answers about this flagrant violation of free speech and due process.

Trump and Musk have already fired 7,000 Social Security workers—contributing to unanswered phone calls and long wait times across the country. Being able to make appointments and get questions answered is critical to Virginians' ability to accessing the benefits they've earned.

I am outraged that—in the aftermath of last January’s water crisis—the Trump Administration has canceled $12 million in federal funding for improvements to Richmond’s water treatment plant. This is unacceptable.

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv and I met with wounded Ukrainian veterans and the dedicated medical staff who are working around the clock to treat them. I am deeply moved by their courage and the sacrifices they've made to protect their country. I will be praying for their ongoing recoveries.
