My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social and Congressman Griffith on the formal approval of the Major Disaster Declaration request we advocated for related to the February winter storms that caused widespread flooding and damage to Southwest Virginia:

"After weeks of pushing at the federal level, we are glad to see this crucial assistance approved for Southwest Virginia. This is a strong first step towards supporting recovery efforts and we will continue pushing for Individual Assistance to help deliver resources to the families most hard-hit by this devastating flooding."

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govApr 9(source)

Peer support specialists—folks with lived experience with a mental health condition or substance use disorder who are certified to assist those in recovery—provide crucial support but often face employment barriers. My bill will address those barriers, helping expand access to this treatment.

I’m disturbed by news of the shooting in Spotsylvania and am praying for the victims and their families, as well as the law enforcement officers who are on the scene. I will be monitoring closely.

Trump inherited an economy that was the envy of the world. But in a few short months, bad policies like Trump’s tariffs have caused chaos and increased the risk of a recession. I’m going to keep working to prevent economic disaster. www.reuters.com/markets/us/g...

Goldman Sachs raises odds of US recession to 45%

Goldman Sachs has raised the odds of a U.S. recession to 45% in the next 12 months, joining other investment banks in revising their forecast as fears of a trade war grip markets after sweeping tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump.

I’m pressing the Trump Admin for answers on the unexplained firing of NSA Director and CYBERCOM Commander General Haugh and the reassignment of NSA Deputy Director Noble. Bad actors attack U.S. infrastructure near daily and unjustified firings of key national security personnel put us at risk.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govApr 8(source)

The tariffs Trump announced last week will cost families $4,000 a year and have raised the risk of a recession. Following my successful push against Trump's Canada tariffs, I’m working with @wydenpress.bsky.social, Senator Paul, and @schumer.senate.gov to lead a new effort to challenge his latest.

Expanding Pell Grant eligibility for career and technical education (like I’ve been fighting to do for years) is a serious approach to supporting the trades. As opposed to, whatever the hell this is:

Many Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women make less than their white male counterparts. On AANHPI Equal Pay Day, let's recommit to addressing this pay gap.

Like many Virginians, I was looking forward to enjoying our National Parks this spring, but now, because of Trump-Musk firings, they’re facing more limited hours and reduced staffing. Trashing our National Parks is short-sighted and bad for our economy. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

Some Virginia national parks have cut hours amid NPS firings

Federal layoffs have left parks short-staffed ahead of peak travel season.

On Gold Star Spouses Day, we solemnly honor the husbands and wives of our brave fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation. I vow to uphold our responsibility to these heroes' families by continuing to work on legislation to support them.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on Senate Republicans’ budget resolution that will slash programs that Virginians rely on in order to pay for tax cuts for billionaires:

"The Trump Administration has thrown our
economy into needless chaos by enacting universal tariffs that will raise costs. Now, despite our strong opposition, Republicans in Congress have moved forward with an enormous tax bill that will cut programs Virginians rely on, give massive tax breaks to billionaires, and raise the deficit by unprecedented levels. We should be focused on lowering the costs of child care and housing, cutting taxes for middle class Americans, and continuing to build on our progress to boost domestic manufacturing.
President Trump and Republicans' budget and economic policies will be a disaster for our country, and we urge them to reverse course before they do more harm."

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a reminder of the need to support prevention measures and survivors. I'll keep working to pass my SOS Campus Act, which would help do that on college campuses. If you are a survivor, VA’s Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-838-8238.

Happy 76th anniversary, NATO! Now more than ever, we must link arms with our allies on both sides of the Atlantic and reaffirm our commitment to global security. I’m proud my law passed to prevent any U.S. president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO.

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

I am so touched by the thousands of Americans who have reached out to my office thanking me for standing up to Trump and his tariffs—and winning. I want to thank all of YOU for your continued advocacy to make that win possible. Together, we are strong.

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

What’s next, tariffs on Pluto?

Screenshot of a CNN broadcast of an image of penguins with the line "Trump slaps 10% tariff on island with no people, only penguins."

My statement with @amyklobuchar.com and @markwarner.bsky.social on the Senate passage of our bill to undo President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods:

Working Americans want costs to go down, not a tax hike in the form of nonsensical tariffs. We sent a powerful message with this vote: we will not stand idly by while President Trump launches a needless trade war with Canada that will raise costs for families, hurt American businesses, and damage our relationship with one of our closest trading partners and allies. We thank our colleagues on both sides of the aisle who voted against Trump’s deranged mission to bypass Congress to enact these new taxes, and will do all that we can to build pressure on our colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to take up this legislation.

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

BREAKING: The Senate just passed my legislation to undo Trump’s idiotic tariffs on Canada. I challenged him and won this battle. Next stop: the House.

I’ve already heard from business owners laying off full-time staff because of Trump’s tariffs. These sloppy policies are not going to achieve their goals. They’re just going to hurt small businesses and raise all of our prices.

Don't be fooled. Trump's "Liberation Day" is a disaster in the making for middle-class Americans.  Trump's tsunami of tariffs will make groceries and other everyday items more expensive, costing families an extra $6,000 a year.  That's the last thing Americans need right now.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govApr 2(source)

Last year, 21,000 pounds of fentanyl came from Mexico. From Canada? New reporting shows the actual figure could be as low as 0.74 pounds. Why is Trump leveling the same tariffs on both countries?
