Wishing Eid Mubarak to Muslim communities in the Commonwealth and around the world. As families and communities gather, I hope this season brings peace, light, and unity.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on President Trump’s executive order attacking collective bargaining rights for federal workers:
I’m proud of the brave educators and parents fighting for the Department of Education and for our students and teachers who depend on ED’s resources and protections. Education is critical to our economy, and I stand with all fighting to protect it. www.highereddive.com/news/aaup-af...
President Trump is abusing emergency powers to impose tariffs on Canada that will raise prices for American families and alienate one of our closest allies — so I’m forcing a vote to challenge him.

My statement on the Trump Administration’s mass firing of federal workers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
Yet another way the Trump Administration is hurting our veterans: wearing down the VA Veterans Crisis Line operators. Unacceptable.

To the federal workers who have lost their jobs or otherwise been impacted by the Trump-Musk Administration’s attacks on the civil service: I want to hear your stories.
Please go to my website at kaine.senate.gov/federalworkers to write to me.
Great to visit Framatome in Lynchburg last week to learn more about their work to power communities and train workers to operate nuclear energy facilities. I’m committed to blocking Trump and congressional Republicans’ efforts to cut clean energy tax credits that could curb this innovation.
On National Medal of Honor Day, we recognize the over 3,500 servicemembers who have achieved the highest military award for valor. I’m glad my bill to build a monument recognizing their bravery and sacrifices was signed into law. I’ll continue to do all I can to honor servicemembers and veterans.
Social security is a lifeline for seniors, disabled people, and millions of other Americans. Inability to access these services isn’t just annoying, it can be life-threatening. We must focus on strengthening the Social Security Admin, not dismantling it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I’m demanding answers.
Trump Administration officials' decision to use a commercial and unclassified app to discuss military strikes in Yemen—while including a random person in the chat and not noticing—demonstrates a profound carelessness for the lives of servicemembers conducting operations against the Houthis.
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Today is the Affordable Care Act’s 15th anniversary! I want to build on the ACA's success—it's provided health insurance for nearly 400,000 Virginians in 2025—but the Trump Admin is hellbent on destroying it, leaving millions without coverage. I’m committed to protecting the ACA from these threats.
Access to career and technical training is critical to helping Virginians get good-paying jobs. Today, I talked with local leaders, students, and educators about ways to expand access to these programs, including by passing my JOBS Act—a bill to allow students to use Pell Grants for job training.
Today, I got an update on how federal funding we secured is helping rebuild the Creeper Trail following the devastation of Hurricane Helene. This trail is a crucial part of the local economy and I’m grateful for everyone’s work to rebuild it.
Thanks to the folks at the Christiansburg Institute Museum for showing me around yesterday. The Christiansburg Institute was a private school for African American students. It was great to learn about how they’re sharing this important part of our history.
My statement on President Trump’s order to gut the U.S. Department of Education:
I was honored to speak at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Climate Series in Norfolk last night to discuss the threat of climate change to our economy, safety, and national security. It’s going to take all of us to address this challenge so I will keep working with stakeholders to tackle it head-on.
Yesterday @bobbyscott.house.gov and I ended our day talking with health care providers about disparities in health care. We will keep working to ensure that everyone, regardless of the zip code they live in, can get the care they need.
Next, @bobbyscott.house.gov and I toured Fairwinds Landing in Norfolk to
learn about how it supports Virginia’s offshore wind and shipbuilding industries, which create jobs and grow our economy. We will keep working to support these projects.
