Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Marine Corps! As the father of a Marine, I’ve seen firsthand the service, leadership, and dedication of our nation’s Marines. I will continue working to ensure you and your families have the support you need as the Ranking Member on the Senate Seapower Subcommittee.
My statement on the funding deal to reopen government, protect federal employees, and vote to protect health care:
Trump is trying to weasel his way out of a court order requiring him to help millions of hungry Americans. No one, especially children, should be forced to go hungry.
Last month’s layoffs were the highest we’ve seen in the month of October in 22 years. That means the last time this many people were laid off in October, Friends was still releasing new episodes, Beyoncé had just released her debut solo album, and W. was still in his first term as president.
Just about everyone, regardless of political party, can agree: food poisoning is the worst. But Trump’s FDA staffing cuts mean fewer safety inspections of food facilities, putting us all at greater risk of getting very sick, or in the most severe cases, dying.

My statement slamming the Senate’s failure to pass my bipartisan legislation to stop unauthorized war against Venezuela:
Trump has PUBLICLY threatened land strikes in Venezuela—after already killing at least 66 unknown people on boats in the Caribbean—unnecessarily putting the U.S. at risk of war. Here’s what @schiff.senate.gov, Senator Paul, and I are doing about it:

Today marks the longest government shutdown in U.S. history—passing Trump’s own previous record from his first term. Democratic leaders have once again requested a meeting with Trump to negotiate a deal. I hope he'll meet us at the table.

Awful. Trump has the power to do more to help hungry Americans—including children—he’s just choosing not to.

My statement regarding the Supreme Court’s first day of oral arguments on cases challenging Trump’s tariffs:
The vast majority of Americans agree: Trump is to blame for soaring costs. Between his foolish tariffs, illegal federal funding freezes, and mass layoffs of federal workers, it’s clear he’s taking our economy in the wrong direction.
President Trump is illegally trying to eliminate the Department of Education and shuffle around the enforcement of education protections that help ensure that students with disabilities have equal learning opportunities. That's wrong, and I'm calling on Trump to reverse course.
In July, Republicans passed a bill that made huge cuts to health care. Now, they're refusing to negotiate with Democrats to fix the health care mess they created and reopen the government. It’s past time for them to come to the table.
I'm hearing from Virginians who are worried about skyrocketing health care premiums due to the GOP’s failure to extend ACA tax credits. That’s why I’m going to keep pushing to protect Americans’ health care, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
Virginia marketplace open enrollment begins today, and Virginians are seeing skyrocketing numbers, but Republicans still refuse to extend the tax credits. Send me your stories through kaine.senate.gov so we can work together to shine a light on this critical issue.
As health care premium costs spike, millions of Americans will have to choose between affording groceries and being able to go to the doctor when they get sick.
No one should have to make this choice, and I’m working to find a path forward.
Last week, Virginians who rely on critical Affordable Care Act tax credits found out exactly how much their rates will go up once those credits expire. It’s time for Republicans to come to the table and negotiate a solution to protect Virginians’ care.

For the third time this week, the Senate passed my legislation to reject Trump’s senseless tariffs that raise costs for consumers, create chaos for businesses, and weaken our economy. Now it’s the House’s turn to undo the biggest tax increase in a generation.
Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Brazil, and the rest of the world are simply taxes that consumers are forced to pay on everyday goods. Senator Rand Paul and I don’t agree on everything, but we agree these taxes harm Americans, and we’re giving Congress the opportunity to undo them.
