"If Congress doesn’t act, the Social Security Trust Fund will be insolvent as soon as 2033, and millions of Americans who have been paying into the program will see a significant portion of their promised benefits cut." The latest from Sen. Bill Cassidy and Sen. Tim Kaine (@kaine.senate.gov):

Opinion | Our bipartisan plan could rescue Social Security

A separate trust fund could invest in private business rather than government bonds.

Despite my opposition, the GOP passed a partisan megabill that gives the ultra-wealthy tax breaks by massively cutting nutrition benefits—and food banks don’t have the resources to fill the impending gap. This is wrong. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

New SNAP rules could push Virginia food banks to brink

"It's going to be impossible for food banks to fill the gap."

Equal protection under law. The right to due process. The promise that everyone born on American soil is treated as a citizen. The 14th Amendment is clear: Trump is not a king. He can’t re-write it – no matter how hard he may try.

157 years ago, the 14th Amendment was ratified—guaranteeing equal protection and due process under law and birthright citizenship. I’ll continue to stand up against Trump Administration’s illegal attempts to unilaterally end birthright citizenship and roll back civil rights.

My statement on my appointment to the Board of Visitors for the United States Military Academy at West Point:

“I am deeply honored to be appointed to the Board of Visitors for the United States Military Academy. Since 1802, the United States Military Academy has turned thousands of patriotic young people into some of the world’s finest military officers. I look forward to serving on the Board and working to continue the tradition and excellence that West Point has upheld across generations.”

My heart is with all those impacted by the devastating flash floods in Texas. I’m grateful to the first responders for their tireless rescue efforts, and will always do everything I can to ensure our federal agencies tasked with disaster response have the resources they need.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on President Trump signing into law the GOP’s partisan budget megabill:

Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have made it clear that that they are willing to sell out millions of Americans in order to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. This legislation is cruel and reckless - tearing health care away from millions of Americans, slashing critical assistance programs, killing jobs, and exploding our debt.
Virginians deserve better, especially on a day that is meant to be about celebrating the promise of America and freedom from tyranny.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 4(source)

Wishing you a happy and safe Fourth of July! As we celebrate our great nation’s founding, let’s renew our shared commitment to freedom, unity, and justice.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social slamming the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans’ partisan budget megabill:

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJul 3(source)

I love our National Parks—some of America’s greatest treasures. This Park and Recreation Month, I hope you’ll have the chance to enjoy our parks for yourself, and join us in our work to protect them from the Trump Administration’s efforts to understaff and underfund them.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Trump Administration illegally withholding $108 million from Virginia schools:

"Virginians know that high-quality public schools and the well-being of our children are critical to the Commonwealth’s future and economic success. The Trump Administration’s decision to withhold over $6 billion in funding that Congress appropriated for schools across the country, while pushing for a disastrous megabill that slashes programs Virginians rely on to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. This move will devastate students, especially those in our rural communities. We demand that the Administration immediately provide Virginia schools with the $108 million in funding we voted to secure, and urge all of Virginia’s leaders to do the same."

61 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law. It finally outlawed segregation in everyday places, such as restaurants, theaters, and hotels. We’ve come a long way since, but there’s still a lot of progress to be made. Today, let’s continue that work.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social after we voted NO on the dangerous Republican megabill:

"Today, Republicans jammed through a partisan megabill that slashes Medicaid, nutrition assistance, and other critical programs that Americans rely on in order to pay for massive tax breaks to the very rich. It’s clear that the Trump Administration and congressional Republicans are only interested in helping the wealthiest—even if it means ripping off working- and middle-class people, killing jobs, and hurting our economy. Americans deserve better than this. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure all Virginians have the support they need in the wake of this disastrous legislation."

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

Today, at the start of Disability Pride Month, I’m fighting tooth and nail to protect services—like Medicaid—that millions of Americans with disabilities rely on as the GOP attempts to gut these services in their budget bill. I’m proud to stand with Virginia’s disabled community.

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

Update: Republicans just voted down my amendment to protect veterans from mass firings. This is a slap in the face to all who have dutifully served their nation.

Our veterans have sacrificed so much to keep us safe. How has Trump thanked them? By carrying out mass firings that disproportionately hurt veterans. The Senate is voting on my amendment to the Republican megabill to crack down on those terminations.

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

According to the latest estimate, Republicans' megabill could cost 20 million Americans their health insurance, including as many as 900,000 Virginians.

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

Food assistance for vulnerable families or massive tax cuts for billionaires? That's an easy choice. I'm voting with my Senate Democratic colleagues to stop the Republican megabill from ripping food off of Americans' tables.

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

The Republican megabill is so bad for rural hospitals that some of them may be forced to close their doors if it passes. I'm voting yes on an amendment to save them.

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

I just voted yes on an amendment that basically says if health care costs go up because of Trump and congressional Republicans' megabill, then the bill's billionaire tax cuts immediately vanish. We ought to prioritize health care over tax cuts for billionaires.
