My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social and Congressman Griffith on the formal approval of the Major Disaster Declaration request we advocated for related to the February winter storms that caused widespread flooding and damage to Southwest Virginia:
Peer support specialists—folks with lived experience with a mental health condition or substance use disorder who are certified to assist those in recovery—provide crucial support but often face employment barriers. My bill will address those barriers, helping expand access to this treatment.
I’m disturbed by news of the shooting in Spotsylvania and am praying for the victims and their families, as well as the law enforcement officers who are on the scene. I will be monitoring closely.
Trump inherited an economy that was the envy of the world. But in a few short months, bad policies like Trump’s tariffs have caused chaos and increased the risk of a recession. I’m going to keep working to prevent economic disaster.

I’m pressing the Trump Admin for answers on the unexplained firing of NSA Director and CYBERCOM Commander General Haugh and the reassignment of NSA Deputy Director Noble. Bad actors attack U.S. infrastructure near daily and unjustified firings of key national security personnel put us at risk.
The tariffs Trump announced last week will cost families $4,000 a year and have raised the risk of a recession. Following my successful push against Trump's Canada tariffs, I’m working with @wydenpress.bsky.social, Senator Paul, and @schumer.senate.gov to lead a new effort to challenge his latest.
Expanding Pell Grant eligibility for career and technical education (like I’ve been fighting to do for years) is a serious approach to supporting the trades.
As opposed to, whatever the hell this is:
Many Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women make less than their white male counterparts. On AANHPI Equal Pay Day, let's recommit to addressing this pay gap.
Like many Virginians, I was looking forward to enjoying our National Parks this spring, but now, because of Trump-Musk firings, they’re facing more limited hours and reduced staffing. Trashing our National Parks is short-sighted and bad for our economy.

On Gold Star Spouses Day, we solemnly honor the husbands and wives of our brave fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation. I vow to uphold our responsibility to these heroes' families by continuing to work on legislation to support them.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on Senate Republicans’ budget resolution that will slash programs that Virginians rely on in order to pay for tax cuts for billionaires:
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a reminder of the need to support prevention measures and survivors. I'll keep working to pass my SOS Campus Act, which would help do that on college campuses. If you are a survivor, VA’s Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-838-8238.
Happy 76th anniversary, NATO! Now more than ever, we must link arms with our allies on both sides of the Atlantic and reaffirm our commitment to global security. I’m proud my law passed to prevent any U.S. president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO.
I am so touched by the thousands of Americans who have reached out to my office thanking me for standing up to Trump and his tariffs—and winning.
I want to thank all of YOU for your continued advocacy to make that win possible. Together, we are strong.
What’s next, tariffs on Pluto?
My statement with @amyklobuchar.com and @markwarner.bsky.social on the Senate passage of our bill to undo President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods:
BREAKING: The Senate just passed my legislation to undo Trump’s idiotic tariffs on Canada. I challenged him and won this battle. Next stop: the House.

I’ve already heard from business owners laying off full-time staff because of Trump’s tariffs.
These sloppy policies are not going to achieve their goals. They’re just going to hurt small businesses and raise all of our prices.
Reposted bySenator Tim Kaine
Don't be fooled. Trump's "Liberation Day" is a disaster in the making for middle-class Americans.
Trump's tsunami of tariffs will make groceries and other everyday items more expensive, costing families an extra $6,000 a year.
That's the last thing Americans need right now.
