Last night, the Senate passed our bipartisan legislation to undo Trump’s tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of goods from Brazil. The House should follow suit and stop Trump’s unnecessary trade wars that raise costs and weaken our economy.
The Senate approved a bipartisan resolution to end the national emergency underpinning President Trump’s tariffs on Brazil — an indicator of growing GOP frustration with the president’s trade policy.
Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.   He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.
The numbers don’t lie: Virginians are seeing higher premium costs because the GOP refuses to extend ACA tax credits. On average, a constituent in Wise County with an annual income of about $30K will see a net premium increase of 238 percent. I'll keep fighting to prevent this.
Republicans control the White House, House, and Senate. It’s past time for them to start acting like it and come together to protect Americans’ health care.
Happy National First Responders Day! I’m grateful for our frontline heroes who work around the clock to keep Virginians safe. I’ll keep working to ensure first responders have the resources they need to protect communities across Virginia.
Yesterday, I met with former CDC employees to talk about the dangerous impact the Trump Administration’s funding cuts and layoffs are having on maternal mortality, disease prevention, and other public health issues. We must stop Trump and RFK, Jr. from making America sicker.
The Senate already voted against Trump’s tariffs on Canada in the spring—before their impact even kicked in. But the House refused to vote on it. The economy has weakened since, and now my GOP colleagues have another opportunity to stand with their constituents. youtube.com/shorts/uOhD6...
No one should be forced to choose between having health insurance and paying for other necessities. I'm fighting to prevent premiums from doubling so Virginians don’t have to make those kinds of choices.
It’s United Nations Day. The U.S. helped found @un.org 80 years ago to provide a forum for the world to come together and respond to shared challenges. When we work with organizations like the UN, we can build a more peaceful and secure future for all.

If we ever needed light, we need it now. It was great to start the day with @markwarner.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social, and Virginians for a Diwali celebration at the Capitol.

Senator Kaine engages in conversation with a man.
Many of Virginia’s small business owners rely on the Affordable Care Act for health insurance. GOP attempts to diminish the ACA will force entrepreneurs to make tough choices, and not all businesses will be able to survive.
I can’t think of a more apt visual metaphor for Trump’s destruction of our country, our economy, and our federal workforce than the brazen demolition of the East Wing for his vanity project. This is a sad moment for our nation.
Trump has enacted policies for months to traumatize federal workers. Now, the GOP wants to give Trump more power to decide which workers get paid, and which get punished. I support legislation to ensure that the entire federal workforce is treated equally. www.kaine.senate.gov/press-releas...
I’m glad the Agriculture Committee advanced @markwarner.bsky.social and my bills to protect public lands in Rockingham, Augusta, Highland, and Bath counties. I treasure my memory of hiking Shenandoah Mountain with my wife on our honeymoon and hope to protect these lands for generations.
