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.
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. youtube.com/shorts/47AVx...
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.
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.

We must focus on strengthening our economy—not starting chaotic trade wars that raise prices, harm businesses, and decrease tourism. I’m proud my colleagues again passed my bill to end Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods. Now the House must pass it.
So let me get this straight: Donald Trump sent $20 BILLION (in U.S. taxpayer dollars) to help his friend out in Argentina, but refuses — yes, he is literally refusing — to use funds available to make sure food keeps flowing to hungry families across America. This is appalling.
Republicans want you to believe that by forcing the Senate to vote over & over on a bill that will price Americans out of their health care, they're serving the public. Meanwhile, their constituents are seeing their health care premiums more than double. Don't fall for this.
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.
