The Virginia Department of Education posted annual school performance data this week. Very proud of great progress for many of my hometown Richmond schools. A special shoutout to Holston High in Washington County for its amazing performance.

Coal miners make great sacrifices to keep our nation running. I was glad to host a forum with the National Black Lung Association to discuss how we can better support miners suffering from black lung disease and ensure they have protections in place to protect their safety.

80% of Americans say finding and affording child care is a major problem. This hurts families and our economy. Instead of building ballrooms and starting new wars, we should pass my Child Care for Working Families Act to cap costs and raise wages for providers.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 01/10/2026

President Trump canceled over $800 million in funding that Congress approved and he signed into law. What was the funding for? Education, housing, small businesses, and health research. He wants ballrooms and arches for himself and cuts for everyone else.

The DCA crash was a preventable tragedy. We can't fix this airspace's safety issues without addressing congestion. That’s why @markwarner.bsky.social and I have a bill to reduce traffic and put the safety of 25 million annual travelers ahead of the convenience of Members of Congress.

On Friday in Abingdon, I met with the Regional Housing Alliance of Appalachia. We talked about how Virginia can benefit from the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act and what else we can do to support affordable housing. I'll keep fighting so everyone has a safe place to call home.

It was a pleasure to join early childhood educators and advocates in Blacksburg to hear about challenges they face and thank them for their work. We’ve made progress to expand child care, but there’s more to do to lower costs, boost the workforce, and raise wages for providers.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 25/09/2026

It was great to start yesterday morning with @markwarner.bsky.social r and Hispanic and Latino leaders from across Virginia at our Commonwealth Coffee event! This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating all you do every day to make Virginia stronger. Thank you for joining us!

The Trump-Vance Administration thinks AI risks are a hoax. The American people know AI safety measures are needed. Democrats will put appropriate regulation in place.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 24/09/2026

Could you ever have imagined a President threatening to annihilate another country? At our best, America has been a strong, resolute, reliable neighbor, not a global bully. We need leaders who'll bring us back to that. That isn't Donald Trump.

Did you know today is National Wife Appreciation Day? Anne, you make every day brighter. I love you!

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 18/09/2026

Donald Trump’s promise of $5,000 checks sounds like a bribe to me. Instead of making promises he won’t keep, he should focus on actually making life more affordable for Americans by ending his stupid tariffs and illegal wars that drive up costs.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 17/09/2026

I joined my colleagues in urging the Department of Education to reinstate critical guidelines that protect students from discrimination in career and technical education programs. Fair and equitable access to CTE is essential to our students and the strength of our economy.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 16/09/2026

Donald Trump says he'd "bomb the s--- out of" Oman, a U.S. ally, if it gets in the way of his illegal war with Iran. What an idiotic idea. That’s why I filed a War Powers Resolution to prevent another foolish war.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 16/09/2026

Last week in Fredericksburg, I held a roundtable on affordable housing and how we can make it easier for Virginians to find a place they can afford to call home. As a former fair housing attorney, I’ll keep fighting to expand access to affordable housing.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 16/09/2026

Last week in Richmond, @mcclellan.house.gov , @dannyavula.bsky.social, Virginia Health and Human Resources, local leaders, and I discussed how rising costs of gas, groceries, housing, and child care are squeezing families. We're going to keep fighting to lower costs.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 16/09/2026

Did you see this? The CBO says the Iran war has already cost the U.S. $38 BILLION. And that's just the military operation.

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! Ahora y siempre, honramos la rica historia, grandes voces, y las aportaciones críticas de las comunidades hispanas en Virginia y en toda la nación.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Now and always, we honor the rich history, vibrant voices, and vital contributions of Hispanic communities throughout Virginia and across the country.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 15/09/2026

I visited U.S. Coast Guard Base Portsmouth to visit the Command Center, tour CGC RESOLUTE, and speak with some of the exceptional leaders and servicemembers on base. I will keep working to support our Coasties and their families. Semper Paratus!

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 11/09/2026

It was great to join the kickoff of the Jeremiah Community Project and celebrate $2.92 million in funding I secured to build housing. This project is a true testament to what we can do when we work together, and I’m excited about how this will help more people have a place to call home.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 10/09/2026

This morning in Glen Allen, I attended the annual Sovereign Nations of Virginia Conference to discuss the integral role of our tribes to the history, culture, and economy of Virginia. I'll keep working to advance their priorities and make sure all indigenous Virginians have a voice in DC.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 10/09/2026

It was great to visit Bright Point in Chester yesterday to learn more about its programs. I was proud to secure $296,000 in funding to expand the college’s lab capacity so we can train more students in critical fields like health care.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 28/08/2026

Trump promised his war with Iran would be over in days. Six months later: troops killed and injured, billions spent, gas and grocery prices climbing. Congress has declared this war illegal — and I'm working to cut off its funding.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 27/08/2026

Always great to be at IALR in Danville, where incredible strides are made in research, workforce training, and innovative defense manufacturing. I’ve supported IALR since I was Governor and look forward to continuing to work together to boost our economy and national security.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 26/08/2026

I had a great time speaking with elected officials and manufacturing leaders in Danville yesterday about the effects of workforce challenges and federal tariff policies on local businesses. Southside businesses are critical to Virginia's economy, and I'll keep working to support them.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 26/08/2026

@repvindman.bsky.social man and I had an important discussion with veterans in Stafford yesterday. I was glad to hear that they’re happy with the quality of care they receive from VA physicians and staff, and will keep working with VA leaders to cut wait times and improve access to that care.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 24/08/2026

Virginia farmers feed our communities and boost our economy. Glad to have spoken with Virginia Farm Bureau leaders and Virginia farmers to listen to their views on the farm bill and the agricultural workforce. We also discussed the impact of federal tariff policies on the farm economy.

Great to visit Volvo Penta's North American Headquarters in Chesapeake. I learned more about the company’s work and met with employees. We’re lucky to have Volvo Penta in Virginia!

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 21/08/2026

Kicked off the day yesterday with @bobbyscott.house.gov in Newport News at a roundtable on special education. We heard from parents, educators, and advocates about the challenges facing students with disabilities and discussed the need to fully fund IDEA and protect special ed programs.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 18/08/2026

North Korea tests ballistic missiles and Trump decides the problem is with ... our ally, South Korea, because it has the sense to avoid joining Trump’s disastrous war with Iran? Kim Jong Un couldn't buy a better deal.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 17/08/2026

I will challenge Trump’s deranged threat to “bomb the shit” out of our ally Oman.⁩

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 14/08/2026

91 years ago, President FDR signed the Social Security Act, establishing safeguards for people with disabilities, retirees, and others. I'm committed to pushing for bipartisan solutions like the PROMISE Act to ensure Congress protects benefits for generations to come.

24509109

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 11/08/2026

We're facing real outbreaks. Cyclospora, Ebola, measles, screwworm, and more. HHS should be led by science and guided by the doctors and researchers who've spent their careers keeping Americans safe. Instead it's run by a man chasing conspiracy theories.

1112843

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 08/08/2026

Todd Blanche says he's working with Trump's team to make Dobbs permanent in every single state. Not in Virginia. We protect women's reproductive freedom here—and anyone who thinks they'll ram this through has another thing coming.

1516139

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 05/08/2026

Last year’s Republican budget megabill is devastating rural Virginia. Twelve clinics and hospital services have closed since it passed all in rural communities that can least afford to lose care. This is what happens when your rural health care is gutted to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 02/08/2026

I had a great visit to USS Gerald R. Ford today with @markwarner.bsky.social er to thank its sailors for their service during a historic deployment, and the shipbuilders working to maintain the ship. The professionalism and dedication I saw today are why the U.S. Navy is the best in the world.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 31/07/2026

Today, I joined @markwarner.bsky.social and state and local leaders to celebrate NASA Langley's new Flight Dynamics Research Facility in Hampton to boost America’s flight and space capabilities. Proud of Virginians’ cutting-edge work!

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 31/07/2026

The Trump-Vance Administration wants performative war in the worst possible way—focusing on optics and flashy videos instead of doing the hard work to keep Americans safe. It's juvenile, embarrassing, and would be comical if it weren't so tragic.

77423

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 30/07/2026

Every kid deserves a high-quality education. But Trump and Secretary McMahon want to dismantle the Department of Education and hand really important services, like special ed programs, to RFK Jr.'s HHS. Our kids, especially those with special needs, deserve better.

109418

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 30/07/2026

Trump would rather keep this key position vacant than allow the DOJ to confirm in writing what the American people overwhelmingly believe: the President shouldn’t be above the law, and we shouldn’t have a $1.8 billion slush fund for those who attacked police officers on Jan. 6.

3327981

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 30/07/2026

18 troops have died in the Trump-Vance Administration’s unnecessary, illegal war with Iran. Families have met flag-draped caskets at Dover, only to learn the Administration wants to reclassify those combat deaths to hide the true cost of war. Shameful.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 27/07/2026

Some good news: the Virginia Advanced Pharma Manufacturing Cluster is receiving $16 million in federal funding. I helped lay the foundation for this hub when I was Mayor of Richmond to boost low-cost, American-made pharmaceuticals and good jobs in Virginia.

11569

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 24/07/2026

What I thought about during the dignified transfer ceremony when our brave fallen soldiers came home is: Why? Why was this necessary? Five months of war and President Trump STILL can’t answer that question.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 22/07/2026

Today the INSULIN Act—bipartisan legislation I'm proud to cosponsor—cleared the HELP Committee. It caps insulin at $35/month for privately insured Americans. Now let's get it to the Senate floor and over to the House.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 22/07/2026

Good news – Virginia just ranked #3 in the nation for business. Even in the face of reckless tariffs, DOGE cuts to our federal workforce, and foolish war with Iran, Virginia stays resilient.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 22/07/2026

If you're going to order our troops into war, you'd better have a damn good reason. Three servicemembers come home to Dover tomorrow. Their families will ask why. President Trump has no answer.
