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.

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.

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.

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.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 30(source)
I voted no on Republicans' attempt to use bogus math to hide the cost of their "Big, Ugly Bill." The truth is that their bill will increase the deficit by more than $3 trillion. But they don't want to admit that to the American public.

My statement on tonight’s vote on my war powers resolution to require any U.S. participation in offensive hostilities against Iran to be explicitly authorized by Congress:

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on reporting that President Jim Ryan was pressured to resign from the University of Virginia by the Trump Administration:
"Virginia’s economy and prosperity depend on the strength and integrity of our higher education system. It is outrageous that officials in the Trump Department of Justice demanded the Commonwealth’s globally recognized university remove President Ryan—a strong leader who has served UVA honorably and moved the university forward—over ridiculous ‘culture war’ traps. Decisions about UVA’s leadership belong solely to its Board of Visitors, in keeping with Virginia’s well-established and respected system of higher education governance. This is a mistake that hurts Virginia’s future."

News for Donald Trump: Sending our troops into harm’s way is not a joke. President Trump alone cannot send the U.S. into war. For the sake of our servicemembers and their families, Congress must hold a serious debate before entering another endless war. youtu.be/zspTn9Vnq9g

Ten years ago, SCOTUS legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then, thousands of LGBTQ+ couples have celebrated their love at the wedding altar. As Trump and MAGA try to roll back their rights, I’ll keep fighting for these hard-won freedoms.

The GOP budget bill would rip critical funding away from public schools and hurt our students—especially the approximately 7.5 million students with disabilities. We must work to strengthen our public schools rather than divert funds to a system that benefits a select few.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 24(source)
Three years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision, which has resulted in women dying after being denied reproductive care. I’m committed to restoring Americans’ freedom to make their own health care decisions.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govJun 24(source)
Last week, I argued we shouldn’t send America’s sons and daughters into war with Iran without Congress debating and voting on it, as required by the Constitution. As the situation in the Middle East changes by the minute, it’s crucial Congress doesn’t shirk its responsibilities.
