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.

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

Working families and small businesses are getting hit with the bill for Trump’s reckless tariff-taxes.
Reposted bySenator Tim Kaine
TRUMPFLATION is hitting health care, quite possibly “the sharpest increases in medical costs” in 15 years.
The Trump agenda: Families lose; Billionaires win.
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.
Withdrawing from the War on Cancer: an extraordinarily successful scientific research system that took decades to build, saved millions of lives and generated billions of dollars in profits is being dismantled in short order. @jonathanmahler.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...
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.
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.
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.
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.
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
This month and always, we celebrate the voices, stories, and rich contributions of Hispanic communities across Virginia and our country.
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.
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.
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.
My statement on Senate Republicans’ move to destroy decades of precedent by breaking the Senate’s long-standing rules to rush presidential nominees through the Senate without debate or individual votes:
I’m relieved that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination is in custody and thank the law enforcement officers who have been working tirelessly to investigate the shooting.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repvindman.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social, and Representative Walkinshaw condemning political violence:
My statement with Senator Young applauding the House passage of legislation to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) against Iraq, to formally end the Iraq wars:
