It's Long COVID Awareness Day. Americans are still grappling with COVID’s repercussions, including Long COVID. I'll keep working to support research and education on this condition and other infection-associated chronic conditions.
The attack on an elementary school in Iran is a horrific tragedy. It also raises serious concerns about the safety of wrongfully detained Americans in Iran. I pray that they won't be impacted by the ongoing violence, and that they will soon safely be brought home.
I'm praying for the victims of the shooting at Old Dominion University today, and deeply appreciate the work of our law enforcement officers. I will continue to monitor this closely and encourage all to heed officials' instructions about avoiding the area around Constant Hall.
The Senate passed my legislation challenging Trump’s broad-based tariffs. SCOTUS struck down his tariffs because they were illegal. But he can’t take the hint. He’s trying a new tactic to impose taxes and raise costs. @warnock.senate.gov and I have a bill to stop him. youtube.com/shorts/0jvL0...
Trump referring to the war against Iran as an “excursion” is beyond disrespectful to the families of the servicemembers killed in the Middle East and all our troops currently risking their lives. It makes my skin crawl.
Thousands of servicemembers killed. Thousands more injured. Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed. Trillions spent. That’s what 25+ years of war in the Middle East got us. My colleagues and I are doing all we can to stop the US from repeating these mistakes. youtube.com/shorts/Jnu8d...
Yesterday, I toured Prince William County’s Crisis Receiving Center—which I helped secure $2 million in funding in FY23 to build—to learn more about the facility’s work to provide services for those experiencing mental health and substance use emergencies.

Together we pray for the families of Capt. Cody A. Khork, Sgts. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor and Noah L. Tietjens, Sgt. Declan J. Coady, Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, Staff Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, and Major Sorffly Davius.
Trump’s words speak for themselves. He thinks the surge in gas prices is a “very small price to pay.” That might be true for him and the Epstein class, but not for regular working people.
A screenshot of a post from Trump's Truth Social account that reads: Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT
The Iran conflict has a new economic front: oil topping $100 a barrel, with a near-immediate impact for drivers, travelers and grocery shoppers.
On Wednesday, the Court of International Trade ruled that companies subjected to Trump’s illegal tariffs are entitled to refunds. The Administration must swiftly reimburse the thousands of small businesses across the country that bore the brunt of Trump’s harmful tariffs.
It’s International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the countless women around the world whose fight for equality has made the world a better place. Together, we must continue their fight for equal rights and equal protection under the law.
Today is the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when Alabama state troopers violently attacked peaceful protesters marching from Selma to Montgomery for the right to vote. The protesters' courage in the face of danger continues to inspire me and countless others.

Happy Women’s History Month! This month, I’m thinking of the generations of incredible women, known and unknown, whose intellect, courage, and resilience have built the world today. We need to keep working together to create a more equitable world for the generations of women to come.
My statement slamming the Senate’s failure to pass my bipartisan War Powers Resolution that would have stopped President Donald Trump’s illegal, unnecessary war with Iran:
“No one is disputing that Iran has been a bad actor. But the civilian leadership of our country owes it to our servicemembers and their families that we will only send them into harm’s way if it is absolutely necessary—and that if we do, we will have clear objectives and a plan that has been fully thought through,” said Senator Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees. “The President and his Administration’s changing and contradictory statements underscore that they rushed into a war without thinking of the consequences that this will have for the American people, our economy, and stability in the region.
“My colleagues’ failure to pass our bipartisan War Powers Resolution adds to a dangerous pattern of Congress ceding our constitutional duties to an increasingly erratic President. How are we supposed to look our constituents in the eyes and send our sons and daughters into war if we aren’t willing to take this most solemn responsibility seriously? I pray for the families whose loved ones will never come home and hope that this war will not turn into another endless conflict.”
Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s unnecessary and illegal war with Iran. But I’m not giving up—this is too important. Stay tuned.
