Nearly 2M Virginians rely on Medicaid for health care, but Virginia health care providers couldn't access the Medicaid portal yesterday after Trump illegally froze federal funding. The portal is back up now, but it is unacceptable that it was ever down.

Trump sows chaos in federal workforce then says “resign within a week and I’ll give you 7 months severance.” Don’t fall for it! Trump told innumerable contractors he’d pay—then stiffed them. He has no authority to promise severance pay. Wait him out!

I’ve been hearing from constituents about how Trump’s order to halt federal funding has caused chaos and confusion. We’re going to do everything we can in the courts and in Congress to fight tooth and nail against this. Contact my office for help at kaine.senate.gov.
President Trump’s order to halt all federal grant and loan programs is illegal and dangerous. From disaster recovery, to job-creating manufacturing investments, Virginians are counting on federal resources. I’ll do all I can to urge the Administration to reverse this decision.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews, and millions of others, including LGBT individuals and disabled persons, who were murdered under the Nazi regime. We must remain committed to fighting antisemitism and bigotry in all of its forms.
Trump’s order to halt offshore wind development is bad for Virginia. Hampton Roads is poised to lead America in this industry, which would create jobs and boost the economy. I’ll do all that I can to make sure that happens. www.pilotonline.com/2025/01/25/e...
There is no anonymous smear campaign against Pete Hegseth. All senators have had access to documents—with names attached—that verify his abusive behavior. This nominee doesn’t have the qualifications or character to lead the Department of Defense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX4_...
Our Constitution is crystal clear—if you’re born in the United States, you’re a citizen.
I’m glad Judge Coughenour, a Reagan-appointee, recognized the unconstitutionality of Trump’s Executive Order to revoke birthright citizenship and temporarily blocked it. We’re not giving up.
Americans want lower—not higher—costs. But President Trump plans to impose broad-based tariffs, which would raise the price of goods and hurt families. That’s why Senator Shaheen, @wydenpress.bsky.social and I introduced a bill to make it harder for the President to impose sweeping tariffs.
Congratulations to Marion’s own Billy the Kid. A fitting tribute to one of the best baseball players in Virginia history.

Today, Luke 6:45 is on my mind—“from the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks.” When Trump’s nominee for the Office of Management and Budget says he wants to traumatize the federal workforce, I believe him.
Haven't enrolled in health care coverage for 2025 yet? Today is the last day you can enroll through Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace, with coverage starting Feb 1. Head to www.marketplace.virginia.gov to find the plan that works best for you and your family.
My statement on the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade:
I’m proud of my work alongside my colleagues to lower prescription drug costs for seniors. But now Trump is rolling back the progress we made and seniors are left to foot the bill.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on President Trump’s executive order to attack the federal workforce, including by weakening protections for federal workers that will make it easier to carry out politically-motivated mass firings and imposing a government hiring freeze:
My statement on President Trump’s executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship:
My statement after President Trump pardoned or commuted sentences for more than 1,500 insurrectionists involved in the deadly January 6 attack, including people convicted of assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy:
Remember how Trump vetoed the ENTIRE defense bill in 2020 because he objected to “rewriting history” by removing Confederate base names? Apparently he’s now fine with rewriting history.

On MLK, Jr. Day, Dr. King’s words continue to inspire me. Now more than ever, we must stand up against hate and injustice. It will be up to all of us to carry on his legacy and continue working for a brighter, more equal future.
