Proud of Cory for holding the floor for 23 hours and counting calling out Trump’s destabilizing policies, including his reckless new taxes. I was glad to join Cory on the floor and look forward to forcing a vote tomorrow on my legislation to challenge Trump’s trade war with Canada.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
When I was a fair housing lawyer, I saw how affordable housing access influenced families' ability to achieve stability. This National Fair Housing Month—and always—I’m committed to tackling housing shortages and high prices and working to protect our most vulnerable from housing discrimination.
Good news: with $25 million in federal funding I helped secure, we broke ground today on a new Virginia National Guard Army Aviation Support Facility in Sandston. This new facility will help prepare our Guardsmen for their many missions at home and abroad.
Senator Kaine poses with Guardsmen in front of a helicopter.
Senator Kaine and other public officials put shovels in the ground.
On Transgender Day of Visibility and every day, my message to trans Virginians and people around the world: I’m glad you’re here. You deserve to feel safe and celebrated, and I’m going to keep standing up for you.
I visited Reservoir Distillery in Richmond to learn more about how Trump’s tariffs hurt Virginia businesses. So this week, I’m forcing a vote to undo Trump’s proposed sales tax on Canadian goods.
Senator Kaine poses for a photos with five others at the distillery.
Senator Kaine tours the distillery.
Senator Kaine sits at a table with two others and engages in a discussion.
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.
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...
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.
Senator Kaine tours the Framatome facility.
Senator Kaine participates in a discussion at Framatome.
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...
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...
