The President is threatening to destroy an entire civilization. Congress must finally reclaim its war power from this increasingly dangerous president. Before he creates more chaos and destruction. Before more servicemembers get killed.

I will not stay silent while our President threatens to commit war crimes in our name. There comes a time when basic humanity transcends partisan politics. To my Republican colleagues: Now is the time to stand up and speak out.

Yesterday, I joined Community Health Center of the New River Valley providers and patients in Christiansburg to tour their center, learn about how funding I secured will be used to help build a new facility, and discuss how federal funding cuts have exacerbated access to health care.

Trump's threat to bomb Iran "back to the stone age" and that "a whole civilization will die tonight" is 1000% out of sync with every moral code. To the Republican leaders: call Congress back into session NOW to stop Trump's plan to slaughter civilians.

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

Trump’s escalation in Iran is reckless. It is unconstitutional. It is dangerous with consequences both vast and globally destabilizing. Right now, the world is holding its breath - watching, waiting, with many fearing what comes next. Moments like this are why the Senate exists.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govApr 7(source)

Thune should immediately call the Senate back into session. Trump’s unhinged threats to commit massive war crimes against Iranian civilian targets show an increasing mental and moral instability we can’t ignore.

As someone who has hiked McAfee Knob many times, I was so excited to celebrate over $6.3 million in funding I secured to make safety improvements for hikers accessing McAfee Knob and the AT. I’m grateful to the partners who worked together to get this done.

Congratulations to the University of Mary Washington Men's Basketball for winning the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball National Championship! Y’all make Virginia proud.

It’s Gold Star Spouses Day, a time to honor the husbands and wives of the heroes who have laid down their lives to protect our nation. I will keep working to pass legislation that supports these brave servicemembers’ families.

Happy Easter, everyone! I’m excited to celebrate at my home Parish and hope everyone observing in Virginia and around the world has a joyous, special day with their loved ones.

It's the 77th anniversary of NATO—a key alliance that keeps America safe. Even if Trump tries, he can't back out of it, thanks to my bipartisan legislation that was signed into law to prevent any U.S. President from unilaterally withdrawing without approval from Congress.

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

Virginians have paid $254 million more at the pump because of Trump’s war of choice in Iran. Working families were already struggling with the rising cost-of-living. Many can’t afford this. I’ll keep doing all I can to end this unnecessary war and lower costs.

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

In the first six months of Trump’s 2nd term, the DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases—including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, fraud, and drug trafficking. How does that make us more safe? www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Today, I had a great conversation with members of the Virginia delegation at the inaugural Virginia Defense Forum. We talked about working together to boost our alliances and military readiness, grow our industrial base, and support servicemembers and military installations.

Today, I visited Foodbank of SE VA and the Eastern Shore to celebrate federal funding I secured for its new facility. I also had a productive discussion with leaders in the region working to address food insecurity. It's clear we still have more to do, especially after the GOP slashed SNAP benefits.

One year ago today, Trump declared he was imposing his illegal “Liberation Day” tariffs. And one year later, things aren’t any cheaper—in fact, experts estimate Trump’s tariffs cost families an average of $1,000 last year.

As Passover begins, I’m wishing everyone gathering for a Seder in Virginia and around the world a meaningful holiday. Chag Pesach Sameach!

Today, I joined local pharmacists and community health partners in Williamsburg to talk about the pressures facing independent community pharmacies and how that’s affecting access to medication for folks in the region. I’ll keep working to support frontline health care providers.

Last night, I was honored to give the annual Heinemann Lecture in Southern History at Hampden-Sydney College and share reflections on Virginia's seal. Since 1776, our seal has been a powerful reminder of the need to remain committed to rejecting tyranny. Sic semper tyrannis!
