The GOP tax bill cuts SNAP (nutrition assistance) benefits for over 204,000 Virginians. Yesterday I toured Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank to highlight their critical work and heard powerful stories from SNAP recipients about how important SNAP is. I will always work to protect this vital program.

June is PTSD Awareness Month. Millions of Americans live with post-traumatic stress and deserve reliable access to quality mental health care. This month and always, I am dedicated to expanding access to care.

Welcome home to Hampton Roads! I’m thankful for the safe return of our amazing sailors after an eight-month deployment and glad they are reunited with their incredible families. www.pilotonline.com/2025/06/01/u...

Happy Pride Month, Virginia! This year, especially, we celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ community and strive to make our nation a better, more accepting place for future generations. Today and always, I stand alongside the LGBTQ+ community to fight for equality for all.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 31(source)

Today, we honor and remember the 12 lives tragically lost six years ago in the horrific shooting in Virginia Beach. We must end gun violence by preserving and strengthening our gun safety laws to prevent future tragedies and protect our communities.

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

I condemn the Department of Labor’s decision to shut down Jobs Corps centers, including those in Monroe and Marion. These programs are a lifeline for young people in need—giving them direction and skills and helping them enter the workforce. This is not progress.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 29(source)

I forced a Senate vote on these tariffs weeks ago to clarify whether my colleagues stood by their constituents or followed Trump like lemmings. I welcome the Court ruling, and I’ll keep forcing votes every time I can to challenge Trump’s unlawful behavior.

Breaking News: A panel of federal judges blocked President Trump from imposing some tariffs, finding that he vastly overstepped his authority under federal law.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social condemning the GOP tax plan for driving up costs and the deficit:

On this Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Together, we honor and express our deep gratitude to them and recommit to supporting Gold Star families.

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

It's been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered. I'm disturbed that the DOJ recently halted ongoing investigations and dropped police agreements put in place after his death and other similar incidents to improve oversight and prevent tragedies. That's dangerous.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 24(source)

Today, on the U.S. Foreign Service's 101st birthday, I thank Foreign Service Officers for their work promoting human rights and U.S. national security interests around the world—and I stand with them against reckless, mass cuts that will make Americans and the world less safe.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 23(source)

I was glad to be in Ottawa today for meetings with @mark-carney.bsky.social, members of his cabinet and Canadian business leaders alongside @shaheen.senate.gov, Senator Cramer, @klobuchar.senate.gov and @welch.senate.gov because our relationship with Canada is invaluable.

Republicans just voted to cut vital food assistance to over 200,000 Virginians, including children, and millions more across the nation. My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the cruelty of cuts to nutrition assistance:

Graphic with the following statement from the Senators: “Gutting nutrition assistance in order to pay for tax breaks for billionaires is both morally wrong and economically shortsighted. At a time when families are grappling with the rising cost of living, Donald Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ rips food off the tables of working parents, children, seniors, and veterans. In Virginia alone, more than 200,000 people, including many children, could go hungry if President Trump and Republicans ram this partisan proposal through Congress. We strongly urge our Republican colleagues in the Senate to reject this cruel legislation and stand with the American families who will bear the brunt of its consequences.”

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 22(source)

My statement on the heartbreaking shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in DC last night:

"The shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in DC last night combines so much sickness—antisemitism, gun violence, misplaced punishment of individuals for foreign policy decisions made by others. I pray for the families, for all traumatized by the shooting, for all who labor under fear that they’ll be targeted for violence because of their religion or race or nationality. And I pray for us—for the US—that we put away the foolish belief that violence solves anything."

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

For many, employer-sponsored retirement plans are a crucial to their long-term financial security. But one in four workers isn't taking advantage of these opportunities. I’m introducing legislation to help more Americans get enrolled so they can improve their financial footing.

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

With so much economic uncertainty, it's critical that we keep lowering health care costs. That's why I'm introducing a bipartisan bill to cut costs for maternal care and childbirth. I'll keep working to put great care within reach for moms and newborns throughout their lives.

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

Americans are struggling with price hikes caused by Trump’s trade wars. Instead of working to fix the economy, Trump accepted his $400 million luxury jet from Qatar today—an obvious bribe that is insulting to the American people and a threat to our national security. This is a failure of leadership.

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

My statement on the passing of my friend @connolly.house.gov:

"My friend Gerry Connolly was a one of a kind public servant who never shied away from fighting for Northern Virginia and our country. I will miss his voice on the many issues that were lucky to benefit from his steadfast leadership, from delivering the congressional oversight the American people deserve and protecting NATO, to standing up for the many federal workers who call Virginia home and securing once-in-a-generation transportation infrastructure investments. His legacy will live on through all that he accomplished throughout his decades of public service and the countless people he inspired along the way. My heart is very heavy and I am lifting up Smitty, Caitlin, and all who knew and loved Gerry in prayer during this difficult time."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govMay 20(source)

Unvetted DOGE bros are rifling through millions of Americans’ personal information, posing serious privacy and national security risks. That’s why I’m introducing legislation with @markwarner.bsky.social to protect that information by increasing penalties for violating privacy laws.
