4 years ago, my Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act became law to support the mental health of our healers. I was honored to work with the family of Dr. Breen, an MD from VA who died by suicide while serving on the COVID frontlines, to name the law after her.
Our servicemembers’ service and sacrifice can take a toll on their mental health. The least we can do is ensure they receive the mental health care benefits they are promised as veterans. The significant staff losses under Trump are unacceptable and must be rectified.
Veteran George Retes was pepper-sprayed and detained by ICE in July, exacerbating his Iraq War PTSD. Afterward, he sought support from his local VA clinic. 7+ months later, Retes said he has never heard back, even after he called to follow up.
Trump is already waging a deeply unpopular war against Iran. Now, Trump says he thinks he can have “the honor of taking Cuba.” We need to focus on helping Americans and lowering costs, not inciting a new global conflict every month.
With the Trump administration’s oil blockade cutting off fuel to Cuba, the country’s electrical grid collapsed on March 16, causing an island-wide blackout. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, threatened again to topple the country’s communist government.
Trump was completely unprepared for the war against Iran that HE started. Six months ago, the Trump Administration DOGE’d its global oil and gas price experts—the people who would be helping address the oil shortage that’s causing surges in gas prices.
Six months before the Trump administration started bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts. https://www.notus.org/trump-white-house/trump-doge-cuts-middle-eastern-oil-gas-crises
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My family immigrated to the United States from Ireland in the 1840s and 50s, and I’m proud to celebrate my Irish heritage today! Wishing everyone a safe and festive holiday!

It's Long COVID Awareness Day. Americans are still grappling with COVID’s repercussions, including Long COVID. I'll keep working to support research and education on this condition and other infection-associated chronic conditions.
The attack on an elementary school in Iran is a horrific tragedy. It also raises serious concerns about the safety of wrongfully detained Americans in Iran. I pray that they won't be impacted by the ongoing violence, and that they will soon safely be brought home.
I'm praying for the victims of the shooting at Old Dominion University today, and deeply appreciate the work of our law enforcement officers. I will continue to monitor this closely and encourage all to heed officials' instructions about avoiding the area around Constant Hall.
The Senate passed my legislation challenging Trump’s broad-based tariffs. SCOTUS struck down his tariffs because they were illegal. But he can’t take the hint. He’s trying a new tactic to impose taxes and raise costs. @warnock.senate.gov and I have a bill to stop him. youtube.com/shorts/0jvL0...
Trump referring to the war against Iran as an “excursion” is beyond disrespectful to the families of the servicemembers killed in the Middle East and all our troops currently risking their lives. It makes my skin crawl.
Thousands of servicemembers killed. Thousands more injured. Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed. Trillions spent. That’s what 25+ years of war in the Middle East got us. My colleagues and I are doing all we can to stop the US from repeating these mistakes. youtube.com/shorts/Jnu8d...
Yesterday, I toured Prince William County’s Crisis Receiving Center—which I helped secure $2 million in funding in FY23 to build—to learn more about the facility’s work to provide services for those experiencing mental health and substance use emergencies.
Senator Kaine poses for a photo outside the facility with a group of people.

Together we pray for the families of Capt. Cody A. Khork, Sgts. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor and Noah L. Tietjens, Sgt. Declan J. Coady, Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, Staff Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, and Major Sorffly Davius.
Trump’s words speak for themselves. He thinks the surge in gas prices is a “very small price to pay.” That might be true for him and the Epstein class, but not for regular working people.
A screenshot of a post from Trump's Truth Social account that reads: Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT
The Iran conflict has a new economic front: oil topping $100 a barrel, with a near-immediate impact for drivers, travelers and grocery shoppers.
On Wednesday, the Court of International Trade ruled that companies subjected to Trump’s illegal tariffs are entitled to refunds. The Administration must swiftly reimburse the thousands of small businesses across the country that bore the brunt of Trump’s harmful tariffs.
