I was glad to celebrate Central Virginia Health Services' new 3D Mammography Unit yesterday. Breast cancer is a leading cause of death for women in VA, making investments like this one critically important. I'll keep working to protect and strengthen access to the care needed to save lives.

Senator Kaine engages in conversation at the facility.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. But for many small business owners, the Affordable Care Act is the only way they can afford care for themselves and their families. Republican attempts to weaken the ACA will hurt our economy and our competitiveness.

Trump is acting like this government shutdown is a joke. He needs to get serious and come to the negotiating table. youtu.be/zClsbUfz4o8

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 15(source)

In solidarity with America’s federal workers, I will not accept pay during this shutdown. I’ve been, and remain, ready to work in a bipartisan way to reopen the government and fix Republicans’ health care mess. It’s time for Republicans to meet us at the table.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 15(source)

I remain committed to finding a bipartisan solution to fund the government and protect American health care. Whenever Republicans are ready to stop pointing fingers and start working, I’m ready.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 15(source)

I joined @npr.org yesterday to discuss how Trump really began his government shutdown the day he was inaugurated, and what I’m hearing from Virginians about the need to prevent health care costs from rising. youtu.be/ktSXyN0TEVk

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 15(source)

Good job Coast Guard. Interdiction takes drugs off the streets and gives us evidence to go after kingpins. That should be the strategy in the Caribbean rather than illegally bombing boats that may or may not contain drugs. www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releas...

An informative day yesterday at William & Mary touring the Bray School to underscore the need to preserve all our history in Virginia, and meeting with very impressive student researchers. I'll always work to secure the resources needed to shape future generations.

Trump talks a lot of game about his ability to make a deal, but when it’s time to put those words into action, he falls flat on his face. It’s been two weeks since the government shutdown, and he still has yet to negotiate a bipartisan solution.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 14(source)

When people can’t afford desperately needed health care, they suffer. That’s why this fight is so serious. It’s a matter of life and death.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 14(source)

Republicans have majorities in the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. They run this government. This is their shutdown.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 13(source)

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the contributions of indigenous peoples and acknowledge the history of this land. I'm proud of my work with Tribal leaders to help six tribes in VA receive federal recognition. I'll continue working to support indigenous communities.

Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Navy! Today, we celebrate the bravery, sacrifice, and service of our Sailors protecting our nation and our freedom. As the Senate Seapower Subcommittee Ranking Member, I’ll keep working to support our Sailors and their families.

Senator Kaine speaks to women in uniform.

Happy National Farmer’s Day! In Virginia and across the U.S., farmers are critical to putting food on our tables and bolstering our economy, but Trump’s tariff policy is harming our farms, and not all will survive. I will continue to fight these tariffs and protect our farmers.

Senator Kaine speaks with farmers in front of an open field.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Trump Administration’s announcement of “substantial” layoffs of federal workers:

"Donald Trump and Russ Vought are once again showing us exactly who they are: reckless ideologues willing to inflict real pain on hardworking Americans to score political points. They have repeatedly treated federal employees not as partners in serving the American people, but as punching bags for their political agenda. Now, in the middle of a shutdown manufactured by Republicans – who control the House, the Senate, and the White House – they’re doubling down by laying off federal workers, turning their own failure to govern into a direct attack on the people who keep this country running and jeopardizing vital government services."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 10(source)

A 60-year-old couple in Virginia with an income between $63,450 and $105,750 could see their monthly premiums increase by as much as $1,076 per month if Republicans don’t come to the table to negotiate a deal to reopen the government AND fix their health care mess.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 10(source)

No parent should have to live in the fear that if their child becomes seriously hurt or sick, they won't be able to afford treatment. But millions of people are now in limbo, as the GOP health care mess will cause premiums to double. I'm fighting to fix that.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 10(source)

My bipartisan bill with Senator Todd Young to repeal the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs against Iraq passed the Senate! Leaving these AUMFs on the books runs the risk of potential misuse by any president. I’ll keep working to ensure this important provision remains in the final defense bill.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 9(source)

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Trump Administration’s malicious prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James:

"A few weeks ago, Trump forced Erik Siebert, a highly-qualified prosecutor with a sterling reputation, to resign as interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring trumped-up charges against James. Then, Trump installed to lead the Eastern District his personal lawyer Lindsey Halligan—a Florida insurance lawyer who is not licensed to practice law in Virginia and had prosecuted exactly zero cases in her life. By putting someone so unqualified in charge of one of the most important law enforcement offices in the country, Trump has made clear that he doesn’t care about keeping Virginians safe, only about weaponizing the justice system to punish his political opponents..."

"...To prosecutors across America: the integrity of our justice system depends on your courage to resist political interference. History will remember those who stood firm in defense of the rule of law, and those who allowed themselves to be complicit in corrupt, politically-motivated prosecutions."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govOct 9(source)

Virginians are already struggling with job losses and higher costs caused by the Trump Administration. Now Republican leadership wants their marketplace premiums to go up by more than double? We can’t let that happen.
