I’m back from a trade mission to Ottawa with VA leaders. I appreciated speaking with Canadian business leaders, Canada Senator Peter Harder, Canada's Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman, and Canadian Minister of National Defense David McGuinty about the U.S.-Canada economic relationship.

Trump and the GOP developed a budget plan with no Dem input. Dems offered an alternative that protects folks’ health care. Trump said he’d meet to negotiate, but then canceled the meeting. Why does he want to shut the government down AND take health care away from millions?

Last week, I called out the Trump Administration for failing to answer basic questions about why it attacked boats in the Caribbean, if they were actually drug boats, why it didn’t interdict to gain important intel on narco kingpins, and who exactly was killed. We need answers. youtu.be/_fGRd_vdFdU

When I was a fair housing attorney, I saw the crucial role fair housing laws played in protecting folks from discrimination when buying or renting. But the Trump Administration isn’t upholding these protections, leaving veterans, single moms, and millions of others vulnerable.

New York Times headline that reads "Trump Appointees Roll Back Enforcement of Fair Housing Laws."

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social after President Trump canceled a meeting with Democratic leadership on government funding:

"President Trump instructed Republicans to craft a budget bill without dealing with Democrats. Now he’s canceled a negotiation meeting with Democratic leadership that he just agreed to Sunday. President Trump’s unwillingness to engage with Democrats on a path forward underscores how little he cares about the American people. Republicans cannot continue to hide in the tall grass and pretend that government funding doesn’t require bipartisanship. And Republicans know that the health care mess they made must be urgently fixed before millions are forced off their health insurance, more rural hospitals close, and health care costs skyrocket for millions of Americans, including those with employer-sponsored insurance. They must come to the table."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 23(source)

Reality check: Untreated fevers in pregnant moms can lead to risks to both mom and baby. No evidence suggests a causal relationship between Tylenol usage and autism. This is a dangerous attempt to distract Americans from RFK Jr.’s incompetence and Trump's health care cuts.

First he imposed tariffs on Brazil, raising costs for Americans. Then he sanctioned the judge who oversaw Bolsonaro’s prosecution. Now he’s sanctioning the judge’s wife? This is a blatant abuse of power. Trump cares more about helping his friend than helping the American people.

First, President Trump failed to lower grocery prices like he promised. Then, he slashed food stamp funding, yanking critical support away from 78,000 people in Virginia alone. No wonder he doesn't want to track hunger in America. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Trump ends annual report on U.S. hunger amid rising food insecurity

The Trump administration is ending a decades-long report on U.S. hunger, calling it “politicized.” Last year, the USDA report warned of rising food insecurity.

Trump and congressional Republicans created a health care crisis: families are facing skyrocketing premiums, and hundreds of rural hospitals face the risk of closure. What did Republicans do in response? They voted down legislation to fix the problem. Unbelievable.

ICYMI: Republicans voted down legislation to keep the government from shutting down and protect Americans’ access to health care. Republicans have control of the White House, the Senate, and the House. They’re failing to lead, and Americans will suffer as a result.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 20(source)

Virginians want more access to affordable health care, not less. But yesterday Republicans voted to punish the American people with legislation that will cause premiums to soar.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 20(source)

Actions speak louder than words. Eight of my Republican colleagues in the Senate didn't bother to show up yesterday to vote on legislation to fund the government and protect health care for millions. Every single Democrat did. When people show you who they are, believe them.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 19(source)

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on Republicans voting down legislation to fund the government, protect Virginians’ access to health care, and prohibit the Trump Administration from illegally withholding funding appropriated by Congress:

"While Republicans may have acted unilaterally when they passed their Big Ugly Bill, keeping the government open is not something they’re going to be able to do on their own. Today, we voted in favor of a funding bill that would not only keep the government from shutting down in 12 days, but would also prevent the expiration of essential health care tax credits and reverse the Trump cuts to Medicaid and hospitals that will raise health care costs for all Americans. Unfortunately, the same Republicans who had no problem extending billionaire tax cuts earlier this year are now drawing the line at tax credits that keep health insurance affordable for so many Americans. Republicans have control of the House, Senate, and White House – it’s time for them to act like it and come to the negotiating table to prevent a shutdown and protect Americans’ health care."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 19(source)

Virginia's incredible schools have been key to our economic success. When the Trump Administration goes after our schools for political reasons, we all suffer. This funding is critical and should not be cut. patch.com/virginia/res...

Despite Bill White spreading baseless conspiracy theories and amplifying a convicted Belgian white nationalist influencer and Holocaust denier, Foreign Relations Committee Republicans rubber-stamped him to be Trump’s Ambassador to Belgium. Horrifying.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 19(source)

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the sacrifice and courage of our servicemembers who were taken as prisoners of war or went missing in action. Their memories will never be forgotten.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 18(source)

Trump’s tariffs on Brazilian goods—which he imposed to try to stop Brazil’s prosecution of his friend—are making life more expensive for Americans. That’s why I’m forcing a vote in the Senate to repeal them.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 18(source)

Happy 78th birthday to the U.S. Air Force! Thank you to the men and women of the Air Force for your service and sacrifice. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I will keep working to support our servicemembers and ensure the Air Force has the resources to defend America and our skies.
