3 years ago, my Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, a landmark bill honoring Dr. Breen—an MD from Charlottesville who died by suicide while serving on the COVID frontlines—became law to support the mental health of our healers. Proud to work with her family again to reauthorize it.
Trump and congressional Republicans want to slash Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks. In Virginia, that hurts: • 62% of nursing home residents • 31% of kids • 1 in 3 births • 319,000 people with disabilities I will fight tooth and nail to prevent these cuts and stand up for Virginians.
I had a great discussion with veterans in Dumfries about how the Trump Admin is hurting veterans by massively firing VA employees, which will increase wait times at VA centers. I'll always stand up for our veterans.
Senator Kaine poses for a group photo after the roundtable.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My great-grandparents emigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1852, and I’m proud to celebrate my Irish heritage today and always. Wishing everyone a joyous celebration today!
Good news: with the help of funding I secured, the VA Port Authority has completed a new offshore wind development hub. This hub will boost our economy and further establish VA as a leader in this industry. I’ll do all I can to keep us at the forefront. www.whro.org/environment/...
It’s Long COVID Awareness Day. While the worst of the pandemic is over for most, there’s more we must do to educate people about Long COVID and ensure that those in our communities who are struggling get the help they need. That's why I will keep working to pass my bipartisan Long COVID Support Act.
Wishing a happy Holi to all celebrating in our Commonwealth and around the world! I hope this festival of colors brings joy to you and your loved ones as we mark the start of spring.
Military spouses make sacrifices day in and day out—including juggling frequent moves that make it harder to get jobs. That’s why I introduced a bill to incentivize the hiring of military spouses—helping them have meaningful careers, businesses find talented workers, and our military stay strong.
Trump is waging a war on veterans—he’s fired more veterans in his first few weeks in office than any other president in U.S. history. That’s unacceptable. I’m standing up for those who made tremendous sacrifices for our nation by spearheading an effort to help these veterans get their jobs back.
NEW: Sen. Tim Kaine is backing legislation to reinstate thousands of veterans fired from federal jobs during Trump’s mass government layoffs. The Protect Veteran Jobs Act seeks to reverse what Democrats call an unfair dismissal of those who served. virginiamercury.com/2025/03/12/k...
School is for learning—and no child should be disrupted by bullying or harassment. I’m proud to introduce legislation that would take concrete steps toward making schools a safer and more welcoming place for all students, regardless of their background or who they are.
In the U.S. last year, women earned only 85% of what men earned for doing the same jobs. That’s unfair, and it’s holding women and our economy back. This Equal Pay Day and every day, I’m committed to continuing the fight for wage equality—because equal work deserves equal pay.
Health care worker shortages pose challenges across VA, especially in rural and underserved areas. My bill can help fix that by supporting medical schools at minority-serving institutions and in underserved areas, encouraging health care providers to train and practice within their communities.
Sick kids deserve to get the care they need as quickly as possible. I’m glad to support legislation to eliminate redundant screenings for accomplished health care providers that currently delay care for kids with out-of-state Medicaid coverage. Let's get it done.
I’m praying for Virginian Sudiksha Konanki and her family after her disappearance in the Dominican Republic last week. We must use every tool at our disposal to ensure she is found.
