These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k. 2025: $228 2026: $1142 She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care. This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

My statement ahead of an expected Senate vote on a block of 107 nominees that includes Bill White, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be Ambassador to Belgium:

"Bill White is the perfect example of why it’s dangerous that Senate Republicans just changed the Senate’s rules to bury Donald Trump’s horrible nominees in long lists and rush them through without proper debate. Someone who fell for a baseless election conspiracy and then called my Republican colleague a ‘snake’ and Georgia’s Secretary of State a ‘MOTHER EFFER’ who should be ‘locked up’ clearly does not have the temperament of an effective diplomat. But even more egregious is White’s platforming of a person convicted of white nationalism and Holocaust denial in Belgium. In the Senate, we all talk about the need to stamp out antisemitism. Now is an opportunity to turn talk into action."

Reality check: Under federal law, undocumented people are not eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Let’s stay focused on the truth and work together on a deal to reopen the government and prevent Americans’ health care costs from skyrocketing.

Republicans will bend over backwards to pass tax breaks for billionaires. But stopping your premiums from doubling? They would rather shut down government than do that. And that's exactly what they are doing.

Donald Trump has said it again and again and again. It’s the President’s job to avert a shutdown. He needs to get us out of this preventable mess he created.

Trump promised his tariffs would help Americans. Instead, the obvious happened, and now you're paying the price. www.cnn.com/2025/08/24/e...

Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.

Trump can’t even keep his own government open and pay American workers, but he’s putting $20 billion of American taxpayers’ dollars at risk to bail out Argentina—after Argentina took action to undercut American farmers. Let’s focus, Mr. President!

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 2(source)

If we don’t find a way to reopen the government AND fix Republicans’ health care mess, marketplace premiums will more than double. We need to come together to prevent that.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 2(source)

Republicans' health care mess will cost lives, jack up costs, and force rural clinics to close—clinics rural communities need to attract economic development projects. Virginia's health and economy depend on a bipartisan path to reopen the government and fix those problems.

A year ago, I traveled to Damascus to meet with local leaders and learn how I could best help provide the resources needed to recover. While I know there’s still more work ahead, I'm amazed by SWVA’s resilience. youtube.com/shorts/SY3Lq...

It's day one of Trump and Republicans’ government shutdown. I know these are difficult times, but I’m working to find a solution for Virginians. Here’s what’s happening: youtube.com/shorts/k9pmy...

A lot of folks have a lot of questions about what a government shutdown means. Here are some answers: youtu.be/T0wYZYGfaIk

You know what they say about broken clocks. Trump and I may not agree on a lot, but he was right in this video—if there is a government shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president. youtube.com/shorts/-e_YR...

My statement on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump’s meeting with military officers at Quantico:

"Ordering America’s best military leaders to leave their duty stations at the same time to fly from all around the world to gather in one room to listen to highly partisan speeches is an incredible security risk and waste of taxpayer dollars. We should be focused on improving military readiness, supporting servicemembers and their families, getting our shipbuilding programs back on track, and addressing real threats from China, Russia, and other adversaries. Instead, Secretary Hegseth disrespected servicemembers, especially women who serve in combat, and announced steps to weaken Inspector General oversight that is critical to delivering safety and efficiency..."

"...President Trump’s proposal to use U.S. cities as ‘training grounds’ to address the ‘enemy from within’ should be deeply troubling to every American. It’s clear that today’s meeting was nothing but a performance for the Republican base and an effort by Secretary Hegseth to keep his position amid increasing reports of his erratic behavior and concerns from members of Congress, defense officials, and his own Administration about his ability to do the job."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 30(source)

I spoke with leaders from across VA working at community pharmacies, health care centers, and community-based organizations. We talked about how this Administration's funding cuts and health conspiracies are eroding trust in science and threatening the health of Virginians.

Trump claimed his ridiculous tariffs would help American businesses. That was a lie. Trump’s tariffs are strangling small businesses and many won’t survive. I’m going to keep forcing votes to undo Trump’s tariff chaos. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/b...

Like a lot of folks, I love starting my morning off with a cup of joe. But this National Coffee Day, I’m fired up that Trump’s personal grievances mean Americans are paying 20.9% more for their coffee than last year. No one wants that. I’m challenging Trump’s chaos. youtube.com/shorts/aWtoL...

FEMA provides critical support to states during a disaster. Virginians saw that last year during Hurricane Helene. But, because Trump gutted FEMA, communities struck by recent disasters aren’t getting desperately needed aid. Ordinary people are paying the price for this Administration’s decisions.

President Trump wants to shrink FEMA and shift disaster responsibility to the states. In the meantime, St. Louis is still waiting for hundreds of millions in federal recovery funds months after its tornado.
