Today, we recognize the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We owe a great debt to the men and women who bravely served during WWII to win the war. We will always honor their memory and sacrifice, including by working to protect the world they fought to create.

Miners take incredible risks to power our communities. That’s why I’m cosponsoring bipartisan legislation to designate today as National Miners Day, honoring their service, sacrifice, and contributions across VA and the country. I will keep advocating for miners and their families.

Trump claims he’s against narcotrafficking. Then why did he pardon a drug kingpin who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for bringing over 400 tons of cocaine into America? With Trump, the rules are often different for rich guys. We need to get to the bottom of this. youtube.com/shorts/XIrGm...
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govDec 4(source)
It's International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As we work to advance the rights of people with disabilities, Trump is trying to gut their educational protections and limit their access to health care. We can't let that happen. I'll keep fighting for equal opportunities.

I may not have Spotify, but as a music lover, I wanted in on the fun. Here are a few songs that helped me get through traffic jams on I-95 (thankfully not for any 27-hour stretches this year), late nights, and early mornings. What were your favorite songs this year? youtube.com/shorts/aRL9f...

Empowering Americans with digital skills is crucial in helping them succeed in the workforce. That's why I'm introducing a bill to expand access to digital training programs to help people develop these in-demand skills—benefiting our workers, employers, and economy.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govDec 1(source)
The holidays should be a time for reconnecting with family—not financial anxiety because Trump hasn’t brought prices down like he promised. I’ll keep working to challenge Trump’s tariffs and economic chaos. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/28/b...
Higher costs weigh on Americans' holiday shopping plans this year: CNBC survey
Most Americans believe prices are higher this holiday season and many will buy less gifts, according to the CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Saturday survey.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govDec 1(source)
70 years ago, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a crowded bus. Her courage and leadership are powerful reminders to reflect on the progress we’ve made and recommit ourselves to advancing equality and justice for all.

50 years ago today, bipartisan legislation guaranteeing opportunities and protections for students with disabilities was signed into law. Now, Trump is trying to illegally shut down the Department of Education, which enforces that law. We can’t let that happen.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govNov 29(source)
It’s Small Business Saturday! Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but Trump’s trade wars are forcing many small business owners to make tough decisions about how they’ll continue to operate. I'll keep working to protect them from Trump's economic chaos.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govNov 25(source)
Trump is trying to pull wool over the American people’s eyes, but they aren’t fooled, and I’m not either. Trump’s reckless handling of the economy is causing prices to spiral out of control. I’m doing all I can to fix it.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govNov 24(source)
My statement following a federal judge ruling that President Trump unlawfully appointed Lindsey Halligan as the interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia:
"President Trump forced a qualified U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia to resign so he could appoint an unqualified replacement with no prosecutorial experience who isn’t even licensed to practice law in Virginia. Why? In order to compel the initiation of criminal cases against his perceived political enemies. Today his blatant persecution effort blew up in his face."
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govNov 24(source)
President Trump claims he's solved the conflict between the DRC and Rwanda, but the fighting has not ceased. That's why I wrote to Secretary Rubio, pushing for stronger U.S. diplomacy to address the violence and ensure long-term regional stability.

Happy anniversary to my wife, Anne! We’re celebrating 41 years today. I’m so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for being my best friend and the best partner I could ever ask for.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govNov 22(source)
Swastikas, nooses, and Confederate flags are obvious hate symbols. After facing backlash, the Coast Guard is walking back its deeply offensive decision to reclassify these symbols as “potentially divisive,” but this never should have been up for debate.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govNov 22(source)
Today marks three years since the tragic mass shooting at Walmart in Chesapeake. Today I am thinking of the six souls lost in the attack, their loved ones, and the Chesapeake community. We must do more to prevent gun violence and prevent future tragedies.
