Today, I spoke with dedicated former federal workers about how the Trump Administration's horrific workforce cuts cost them the jobs they loved, and how that's hurt their families. I’ll keep working to protect the federal workforce, fight illegal firings, and end the shutdown.
Senator Kaine sits at a table speaking with the former federal workers.
Undocumented people are not eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans are pushing this lie to distract Americans from the fact that they refuse to vote to keep marketplace health care premiums from skyrocketing. Don't fall for it.
If Congress does nothing, Virginians' marketplace premiums could go up by $1,000 or more per month next year. I'm ready to negotiate a path forward to prevent that and reopen the government.
I hope this will be the week that Republicans come to the table and negotiate a deal to reopen the government and prevent Americans' health care premiums from more than doubling. Americans want lower costs, so let’s get it done.
I was heartbroken to hear Candi Mundon King’s young daughter, Candis, tragically passed away last weekend following her battle with sickle cell disease. Candi, her family, and all who knew and loved Candis are in my prayers during this painful time.
Virginians want prices to come down, not go up. I'm going to keep fighting for a deal that prevents marketplace health care premiums from going up by more than double.
Imagine you're a rural community working to attract investments and jobs from a company, when your health care clinic closes because of Republicans' 'Big, Ugly Bill.' Now, your neighbors need to travel many miles for care and your pitch to that company just got a lot harder.
For months, Trump has been ripping up bipartisan spending agreements—halting critical economic development investments and threatening education funds in Virginia. All need to agree that a deal is a deal and all must honor it. No more mass federal worker firings or withheld funds.
Everywhere I go in Virginia, I hear from constituents who want prices to come down. Affordability is a bipartisan concern—so why can’t we all come to the table and hammer out a deal to prevent health care premiums from more than doubling? Let’s get it done.
During the last Trump shutdown, I secured guaranteed back pay for federal employees during shutdowns. But paychecks can still be delayed, so I introduced a bill to not penalize workers who have to take loans or withdrawals from retirement accounts if the shutdown is prolonged.
My statement ahead of an expected Senate vote on a block of 107 nominees that includes Bill White, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be Ambassador to Belgium:
"Bill White is the perfect example of why it’s dangerous that Senate Republicans just changed the Senate’s rules to bury Donald Trump’s horrible nominees in long lists and rush them through without proper debate. Someone who fell for a baseless election conspiracy and then called my Republican colleague a ‘snake’ and Georgia’s Secretary of State a ‘MOTHER EFFER’ who should be ‘locked up’ clearly does not have the temperament of an effective diplomat. But even more egregious is White’s platforming of a person convicted of white nationalism and Holocaust denial in Belgium. In the Senate, we all talk about the need to stamp out antisemitism. Now is an opportunity to turn talk into action."
Reality check: Under federal law, undocumented people are not eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Let’s stay focused on the truth and work together on a deal to reopen the government and prevent Americans’ health care costs from skyrocketing.
Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.
