For years, @kaine.senate.gov and I tried to raise the alarm – DCA was already at capacity and never needed additional flights. The most crowded runway in the country should have never had more flights pushed onto it by out-of-state lawmakers.

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

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social announcing our support for legislation to fund the government, protect Virginians’ health care, and prohibit illegal spending decisions by the Trump Administration:

"President Trump’s disastrous policies mean we’re on the brink of skyrocketing health care premiums and clinics closing their doors—consequences that will impact Americans regardless of their politics. But what is Trump doing? He’s telling congressional Republicans not to work with Democrats to fund the government. If only he cared half as much about working together in good-faith as he cares about giving tax breaks to billionaires. Meanwhile, Democrats have been talking with their constituents across the country from both sides of the aisle and came up with a much better idea. Our legislation would avert a shutdown, protect Americans’ health care and keep premium costs down, and prevent the Trump Administration from illegally withholding funding approved by bipartisan majorities in Congress, and it should be put to a vote."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 17(source)

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social following new reporting on the “serious safety risks” present at DCA on the night of the deadly crash over the Potomac River and the “political and economic forces” that perpetuated those conditions:

"Air traffic controllers and pilots are only human – their workload and work environment should reflect that. Unfortunately, Congress added more flights into DCA’s already chaotic airspace just months before this tragic crash over the objections of the region’s Senate delegation and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, disregarding the concerns of numerous pilots, air traffic controllers, and FAA and DOT personnel."

"What do you tell 67 families who have lost their loved ones? What do you tell America’s flying public? We have fought against adding more flights at DCA for years because safety has to be the first and top priority. While many risk factors must be reevaluated, Congress needs to start by rolling back the additional flight slots it forcibly crammed into last year’s FAA Reauthorization Act."

The Washington Post

The FAA ignored warnings about crowding too many planes into Reagan National Airport, a failure now central to probes of a crash that killed 67. A Post review found peak traffic left controllers and pilots with dangerously thin margins for error.

Trump’s trade war with Canada has caused: -U.S. product sales in Canada to plummet -Canadian tourism to the U.S. to nosedive -Damage to our relationship with one of our closest allies I urge my colleagues to support my bill to end these new taxes and protect the American people.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 17(source)

As a former fair housing attorney, I know the importance of safe, reliable housing—and how urgently Congress needs to address the discrimination veterans and low-income families face when applying for it. That's why I'm leading legislation to help.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 16(source)

My statement on Eli Lilly’s announcement that it will build a $5 billion manufacturing facility in Goochland County:

"I’m thrilled Eli Lilly is building a $5 billion manufacturing plant in Goochland County, which will create good-paying jobs. This announcement is a testament to Virginia’s strong workforce and education system. It also builds on the progress we’ve made to turn central Virginia into a pharmaceutical manufacturing hub. I will continue working to boost domestic manufacturing of lifesaving medicines, strengthen our supply chains, and grow our economy."

Working families and small businesses are getting hit with the bill for Trump’s reckless tariff-taxes.

TRUMPFLATION is hitting health care, quite possibly “the sharpest increases in medical costs” in 15 years. The Trump agenda: Families lose; Billionaires win.

Health Care Costs for Workers Begin to Climb

Through federal funding and researchers' hard work, Americans who receive a cancer diagnosis have hope for advanced treatments and potential cures. Instead of continuing federal investments into finding a cure, Trump is canceling the research projects we need to save more lives.

The Trump administration has ordered the removal of signs and exhibits related to slavery at multiple national parks, including a historic photograph of a formerly enslaved man showing scars on his back.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 16(source)

Once again without legal justification, Trump ordered a strike that he says summarily killed 3 people in international waters. We still don’t know if the strikes are legal, and why the U.S. is not instead interdicting to get intelligence to disrupt narcotrafficking routes.

I'm pressing Trump for answers about the summary killing of 11 people on a boat in the Caribbean by the U.S. military. It's critical to our security and the safety of our servicemembers that we get information about what happened and why, and who exactly was killed.

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

The Department of Education is threatening to withhold over $300 million in federal funding from NOVA schools—a move that's contrary to the interests of students and educators—all for political retribution. @markwarner.bsky.social and I are demanding that Trump release this funding.

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

Long-term unemployment—when someone is unemployed for six months or more—is nearly DOUBLE what it was only two years ago. Between this news, rising overall unemployment, weak job growth, and soaring inflation, it’s clear that Trump’s economic policies are failing Americans.

Screenshot of a Washington Post article with the headline: Long-term unemployment at post-pandemic high, straining workers and economy.

Congratulations to The Pitt's Noah Wyle for his Emmy win! I met Noah earlier this year to discuss his advocacy for frontline health care workers’ mental well-being and the need to reauthorize my bill to prevent suicide and burnout among our healers.

Coming to you from the Capitol this AM, where “The Pitt” star Noah Wyle is here talking to lawmakers (including @kaine.senate.gov) about funding for programs aimed at improving mental health services for health care workers.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This month and always, we celebrate the voices, stories, and rich contributions of Hispanic communities across Virginia and our country.

Red text on a yellow background with colorful borders reading: ¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Today marks four years since the formation of the Australia-U.K.-U.S. partnership. I'm proud to have led the passage of the landmark legislation that formalized AUKUS, which will help ensure a free Indo-Pacific and boost Virginia's shipbuilding industry and economy. I'll keep working to support it.

Trump lied when he said he would protect Social Security, and now—when Americans are already struggling to cover everyday costs—he’s working overtime to undermine access to benefits. So I introduced legislation to stop him and protect the services Americans depend on.

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

Happy National Virginia Day! I’m lucky to serve the Commonwealth and call this beautiful place home. Today, we celebrate everyone and everything that makes Virginia extraordinary, from our vibrant communities to our incredible natural landscapes.
