Our colleges, students, and economy benefit when students from around the world come to Virginia schools. So why is the Trump Administration revoking their visas without explanation? @markwarner.bsky.social and I demand answers about this flagrant violation of free speech and due process.

Trump and Musk have already fired 7,000 Social Security workers—contributing to unanswered phone calls and long wait times across the country. Being able to make appointments and get questions answered is critical to Virginians' ability to accessing the benefits they've earned.

I am outraged that—in the aftermath of last January’s water crisis—the Trump Administration has canceled $12 million in federal funding for improvements to Richmond’s water treatment plant. This is unacceptable.

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv and I met with wounded Ukrainian veterans and the dedicated medical staff who are working around the clock to treat them. I am deeply moved by their courage and the sacrifices they've made to protect their country. I will be praying for their ongoing recoveries.

I laid flowers at the Bucha Memorial today to honor the civilians and prisoners of war killed by Russian forces during their occupation of this town in early 2022. After Russia withdrew, mass graves were discovered—showing evidence of executions, torture, and sexual violence.

I’m in Ukraine today in the wake of Russia’s horrific Palm Sunday attack in Sumy that killed dozens of innocent civilians, including children, to show my support for our partnership against Putin’s illegal invasion.

I’m relieved Governor Shapiro and his family are safe after this frightening arson attack on the first night of Passover and am thankful for the swift action of first responders.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

It’s our responsibility to make sure our veterans get the care they need. I’ve been sounding the alarm about how Trump and Elon’s hiring freeze at the VA and plans to cut tens of thousands of VA jobs—many of which are held by veterans—are a huge mistake. www.pilotonline.com/2025/04/08/e...
Editorial: VA cuts will affect staffing, services for Hampton Roads veterans
The White House is pursuing deep cuts to veterans service staff, actions that could break the nation’s promise to the men and women of our armed forces.

As Passover begins this evening, I want to wish everyone gathering around Seder tables in Virginia and around the world a joyful holiday. Chag Pesach Sameach!

Happy National Submarine Day! Virginia plays a critical role in building submarines for our nation’s Navy. I’m grateful to the shipbuilders and men and women who serve on these submarines. You make Virginia proud every day!

On World Parkinson’s Day, I’m thinking of all who’ve struggled with the condition. I’m glad that last year President Biden signed into law a bill I cosponsored that combats Parkinson’s and related conditions. I’ll keep working to support research efforts to end Parkinson’s for good.

From tariffs announced on uninhabited islands to rates changing near daily, the situation with Trump’s new national sales tax is changing so fast it’s hard to keep up. In case you missed it, here’s where we stand and my plan to challenge the biggest tax hike on American families in history:
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govApr 11(source)
Today in 1968, President Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act into law, prohibiting housing discrimination. As a former civil rights attorney, I’m committed to continuing the fight for equitable access to affordable housing and stamping out discrimination.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govApr 10(source)
There is so much more Congress can—and must—do to reduce gun violence. I’m glad to join my colleagues in introducing bills to strengthen regulations on semiautomatic firearms and outlaw modification devices that can turn legal firearms into tools for mass shootings.
Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govApr 10(source)
Hard-working American workers and their families deserve a tax break. That’s why I’m glad to help introduce bills to nearly triple the Earned Income Tax Credit for workers who don’t have children and permanently expand the Child Tax Credit for those who do.
