I’m thrilled Hitachi Energy is expanding its footprint in Virginia by investing $457 million to build a state-of-the-art power transformer facility in South Boston—creating more than 800 jobs and boosting the region’s economy. I'll keep working to boost manufacturing in VA.

Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill included massive SNAP cuts that will rip nutrition assistance away from millions of people across the country, including tens of thousands in Virginia, and potentially force your local grocery store to close.

A news headline reading: SNAP cuts seen hitting family, grocery store budgets hard.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 2(source)

Infrastructure upgrades create jobs, spur economic development, and improve lives. Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped pass, VA has received billions to improve roads, bridges, and airports. I'm committed to reauthorizing it so we can keep building on our progress.

Happy Virginia African Diaspora Heritage Month! I’m grateful for the African diaspora’s economic, cultural, and social contributions to Virginia. I’m proud to be leading a bill to designate a National African Diaspora Heritage Month to recognize these invaluable achievements.

President Trump decided to kill energy projects that are nearly done, because he doesn’t like wind and solar. We all know our country overall needs more energy, not less. (1/2)

Trump administration cancels $679 million for offshore wind projects

The wind industry has been in President Donald Trump's crosshairs since his first day in office, but his administration has recently escalated its attacks.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govSep 1(source)

Happy Labor Day! Thank you to all of Virginia’s workers who keep our Commonwealth and nation running. I will always fight for stronger protections, fair wages, and a safe work environment for every Virginian.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govAug 30(source)

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social and @bobbyscott.house.gov on the Trump Administration’s withdrawal of funding for Fairwinds Landing:

"The withdrawal of federal funding for the Fairwinds Landing facility is further evidence of this Administration’s across-the-board, reckless approach to governing. If the Administration took the time to learn about the project, it would realize that it is about investing in maritime supply chains and port infrastructure to support not only clean energy but also shipbuilding and ship repair. Stopping this project makes no sense, hurts our economy, and is completely counterproductive to the Administration’s so-called efforts to ‘restore America’s maritime dominance.’ We will be working with our colleagues in Congress, state officials, and partners in the region to urge the Trump Administration to reverse its decision."

DOGE uploaded millions of Americans' information, including Social Security numbers and addresses, to a cloud server despite warnings that it would put Americans' data at risk from criminals and foreign governments. There should be a thorough Inspector General investigation.

Breaking News: DOGE put the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans at risk by uploading Social Security data to a vulnerable cloud server, a whistle-blower complaint said.

Unemployment in Virginia has risen every month this year. Trump is hurting our economy through his idiotic tariffs, gutting of the federal workforce, and illegal halting of federal funding. I’ll keep fighting his reckless policies. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

Virginia jobless rate rises for 7th month

And the newly unemployed are entering a grim job market.

AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly's decision to build plants in Albemarle and Goochland counties is a testament to our strong education system, talented workforce, and innovation in advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing. I'm excited that Virginia lawmakers advanced these projects yesterday.

Trump fired his CDC Director after just weeks. He also just forced the interim U.S. attorney in the Western District of Virginia to resign soon after DOJ appointed him. Trump is turning respected agencies into punching bags. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

CDC Director Susan Monarez fired by Trump administration after refusing to resign, citing 'reckless directives'

Monarez’s lawyers said she “refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives.” The White House responded that she was “not aligned with the President’s agenda.”

62 years ago today, Dr. King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington. Dr. King’s words continue to inspire me, especially as Trump works to roll back the progress we’ve made. It is up to all of us to protect, uphold, and advance his dream for our nation.

Some Republicans have already publicly admitted they regret voting for massive health care cuts in the “Big, Ugly Bill.” On Health Care Day of Action, I’m asking you join me in urging GOP elected officials to reverse these cuts before it’s too late.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govAug 26(source)

Investments in infrastructure are investments in our communities and economy. Last week, @markwarner.bsky.social and I were proud to announce over $48 million in funding for airports across Virginia to ensure safe, reliable, and easy travel for Virginians and visitors.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govAug 26(source)

It’s been 105 years since the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Today, we must recommit to protecting the right to vote and pushing back against efforts to disenfranchise Americans by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

In Republicans’ efforts to build the “GOLDEN AGE” of America, they voted to strip millions of their health care & hike energy costs – all while the price of everyday goods soar. Let’s be honest, the only people experiencing the “GOLDEN AGE” under this regime are billionaires.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govAug 25(source)

Happy birthday to the National Park Service! I hope you’ll visit one of Virginia’s national parks today. We must continue to protect NPS and these amazing treasures, including from the Trump Administration’s massive cuts to federal funding.

Servicemembers and their families make countless sacrifices for our country. That's why I was glad to secure a 3.8% pay raise and millions in funding to improve barracks, on-base child care centers, and more in the Senate's draft defense bill. Let's get it across the finish line.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govAug 21(source)

Trump is making it near-unaffordable to have a family. Back-to-school essentials cost an average of 7.3% more than last year and school lunch staples cost 5% more this year—and Trump’s increased tariffs are about to make the problem worse. www.youtube.com/shorts/_BNF0...

This Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, I'm thinking of all who have lost their lives or a loved one to fentanyl. I’m thankful my bill to strengthen the DOD's role in addressing fentanyl trafficking is now law. I’m committed to building on that success to keep Virginians safe.
