Here’s Dr. Roberts! A dentist from the Valley who provides free care to folks in need, and I’m bringing him to the State of the Union to highlight the devastating impact of health care cuts across Virginia.

Meet my SOTU guest, Dr. Cameron Roberts. Dr. Roberts is a dentist in Harrisonburg, and I asked him to come so we could help shine a light on the way recent cuts to Medicaid are creating challenges for charitable clinics that so many people rely on for care. youtu.be/ABBhQOk1oTo

My statement on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine:

The Ukrainian people have shown incredible resilience in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s heinous invasion. I’m disgusted by the Trump Administration’s refusal to hold Putin accountable.
(1/2)

The United States is safest when we stand with the free peoples of the world against those who would oppress them. As a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, I will continue to do all I can to support Ukraine and stand against totalitarian regimes. (2/2)

I'm honored to deliver the annual reading of President George Washington’s Farewell Address tomorrow, and am interested in the likely contrast between Washington’s wise sentiments and the ones we’ll hear from President Trump during his State of the Union address. youtube.com/shorts/vSUzk...

Virginians are protecting our national security by building submarines that will be sold to Australia under the AUKUS agreement. Last week, I toured shipyards and met with local, state, and federal officials in Australia about the critical partnership between the U.S. and Australia.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the General Assembly and Governor Abigail Spanberger’s approval of a new Virginia congressional map that now heads to Virginians for a referendum vote:

Donald Trump’s decision to prioritize redrawing voting maps across the country instead of focusing on lowering costs for families has created extraordinary circumstances for states like Virginia. There is now a temporary proposal aimed at preserving a fair playing field and protecting Virginia voters. While some states are moving ahead through partisan deals behind closed doors, Virginia is following its constitutional process and allowing voters to render the final judgment. We strongly support this effort and Virginia’s commitment to public transparency throughout the process.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govFeb 21(source)

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the National Transportation Safety Board’s final report into the January 2025 midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport that killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft:

We thank the NTSB for its thorough investigation of last year’s horrific crash near DCA that took the lives of 67 people, and for its recommendations on how to make the airspace around DCA safer. We owe it to the families who lost loved ones on January 29, 2025, and all Americans to implement the NTSB’s recommendations to prevent another tragedy. (1/2)

We’re pleased that the House is expected to vote on the Senate-passed ROTOR Act, which addresses some of the systemic failures that led to this crash. But that alone won’t be enough. The NTSB report underscores the risk unsustainable traffic levels at DCA pose—as we have warned for many years. In the coming months, we will be working on legislation to reduce slots at DCA and meet the NTSB’s other safety recommendations. (2/2)

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govFeb 20(source)

My statement on Trump’s threat of illegal war with Iran:

Trump is bumbling his way toward war with Iran in a feeble attempt to accomplish what had already been done by a diplomatic deal that was effectively curbing Iran’s nuclear program—until Trump tore it up, over the objections of his then-Secretaries of Defense and State.

Virginia families have already suffered enough because of wrongheaded forever wars in the Middle East. Virginians don’t want a President ordering our troops to take action—against foreign countries or against American cities—without congressional debate and vote. (1/2)

I have filed a bipartisan resolution to block this war against Iran unless Congress votes to approve it. If some of my colleagues support war, then they should have the guts to vote for the war, and to be held accountable by their constituents, rather than hiding under their desks. The President is dragging us further and further into overseas quagmires while everyday Americans are weighed down by rising costs, disappearing jobs, and sputtering growth. (2/2)

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govFeb 20(source)

My statement welcoming the Supreme Court ruling that the Trump Administration abused its authorities under IEEPA to impose broad-based tariffs:

President Trump’s effort to use emergency powers to impose broad-based tariffs on key allies and trading partners was unlawful and ill-advised from the start, and I am glad that the Supreme Court ruled against this egregious and destructive abuse of presidential power. (1/2)

Broad-based tariffs are a tax on American consumers, and the Trump Administration’s attempt to pretend otherwise was laughable in its inaccuracy and deeply disrespectful to the millions of American consumers who have faced higher prices because of Trump’s unaffordable economic policies. The Supreme Court did its job here in upholding the bedrock principle of separation of powers – Congress must step up and do the same on tariffs, war powers, and many other issues. (2/2)

This Black History Month and always, let’s celebrate the accomplishments of Black Virginians, including the creator of Black History Month, Carter G. Woodson. As the Trump Administration attempts to rewrite history, it’s more important than ever to tell these stories. youtube.com/shorts/WoLgl...

Epstein’s victims deserve justice. The full truth must come to light, and the abusers must be held accountable.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govFeb 19(source)

I was honored to attend commemorative ceremonies for those who died in the 1942 Darwin bombings, including 88 brave American servicemembers who fought valiantly on the USS Peary. May their sacrifices remind us of the depth of our alliance with Australia—and never be forgotten.

Starting this Ash Wednesday, I’m going to read a chapter of Exodus a day for the 40 days of Lent. I’d welcome all who are interested to join me in reading Exodus and reflecting on this meaningful story of liberation, freedom, and immigration. youtube.com/shorts/S3xa4...

As Ramadan begins this evening, I want to wish Muslim communities in Virginia and around the world a blessed and meaningful month. I hope this time brings peace and prosperity to all observing. Ramadan Mubarak!

There’s no question about it: it’s Americans and our small businesses who are paying the price for Trump’s reckless tariffs. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/b...

Americans Are Paying the Bill for Tariffs, Despite Trump’s Claims

Working Americans shouldn’t have to bankroll this Administration’s horrible economic policy. $1000 a year is a hit that working families can’t afford.

Good news: federal funding I helped secure, including for the Coalfields Expressway, is headed to Virginia! I’m excited for this to help improve safety and reliability and boost our economy. cardinalnews.org/2026/02/05/c...

Coalfields Expressway project gets $3 million in federal funding

The money will be used to widen a two-lane section of the highway in Buchanan County to four lanes.
