Good news – thanks to legislation I wrote, Virginia is getting $4 million to support veteran suicide prevention. Veterans deserve the very best mental health care. I’m glad to see money flowing to Virginia to make it happen.

Instead of doing literally anything to put any amount of safety in place around AI, Trump has a way dumber solution: let’s just give it a new name!

Remember: while you struggle with skyrocketing gas costs, Trump lights MORE of your tax dollars on fire with his publicly-funded campaign ads.

AI is already able to take over the backend of a bank, hospital, or water system. Standing by is not an option. (1/2)

Diesel prices are STILL above $6. That hurts farmers during harvest. And it raises your costs on EVERYTHING that comes on trucks – from groceries to online shopping. Remember – this is all because Trump decided to start a war of choice.

Under Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, 300,000 Virginians are at risk of losing their health coverage. I introduced a sweeping health care bill to reverse these cuts, permanently extend enhanced ACA premium tax credits, and expand access to care.

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Gas prices have jumped more than 40% since Trump launched his war of choice. American families shouldn’t have to bear the cost of Trump’s reckless decisions.

97716

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

And if Donald Trump’s cost-spiking war wasn’t enough… he’s now also lighting your tax dollars on fire with taxpayer-funded political ads to bolster his failing record.

107734

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The president is using taxpayer dollars to fund vanity projects and political advertisements, while cutting bipartisan funding to support families.

1410528

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

100,000 Virginians have been kicked off SNAP because of Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. These are real consequences for families just trying to put food on the table.

77214

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

We must continue to aggressively speak up to protect our elections. This administration knows how deeply unpopular they are, and they’re not going to give up on making it harder to vote.

2824673

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Standing back and just hoping AI companies do the right thing is irresponsible. Let’s pass AI regulation NOW.

1511025

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This administration’s failed war of choice makes your housing, gas, and groceries more expensive.

57018

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

NEW: We need to take steps towards universal health care coverage NOW. Today, I’m introducing my Health CARE Act, legislation that would reverse the devastating impacts of HR. 1, implement a low-cost public health insurance option, and permanently expand ACA tax credits.

1816254

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Completely heartbreaking. We owe our servicemembers so much more than these forever wars.

1114640

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I just fought on the Senate floor to try and overturn Trump’s union-busting executive orders that targeted hard-working federal employees. Republicans blocked it.

77929

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Months in and this war of choice rages on – sending diesel prices to new record highs. Just like Trump’s tariffs, all of those extra costs are going to be passed along directly to us in the form of higher prices at the grocery store & on everything we buy.

86118

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

This administration has a clear pattern – skim funds, cut programs, and raise costs for everyday Americans… while they get everything they need and more.

108130

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Something is deeply wrong when Trump’s net worth is skyrocketing but families across the country can’t afford gas, groceries, and health care. Donald Trump’s culture of open corruption is leaving Americans out to dry while he and his friends get rich.

991311422

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Half of Virginia families with kids are food insecure. Why does Donald Trump care more about his ballroom?

57722

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

The Iran War has cost at least $43 billion. How much could we do to lower costs, invest in schools, or work towards ending child poverty with that money instead?

119926

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Trump cries “free speech” and turns around and throws entire networks out of the White House. He promises no new wars and starts a brutal one in Iran. He promises lower prices and we get spiking gas costs.

1820746

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Half of Virginia families with kids are food insecure. Trump’s slashing of SNAP and his cost-spiking war are having unconscionable impacts on our kids.

86320

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

As election day gets closer, Trump is trying to hide his failures from the press. The networks are refusing to go along with it. The president is scared because he knows the American people are going to hold him accountable for his skyrocketing costs and forever war.

28440145

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Every day for the past 15 days, diesel prices in Virginia have reached a new record high. That’s devastating for farmers across the Commonwealth. And the costs get passed along to you on everything you buy.

96916

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

President Trump is fighting AI regulation while his own financial interests are increasingly tied to the industry. Trump is more focused on profiting off the presidency than he is on making sure we have basic guardrails to protect Americans from AI’s risks.

118724

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Trump said his war with Iran would last 6 weeks. More than 6 months later, the war is still waging, and Americans have paid an extra $100 billion for gas and diesel and at least another $60 billion for essentials like groceries and mortgages.

129630

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

The ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The arch. If only Trump cared about lowering costs for the American people as much as he cared about memorializing his own ego.

1212325

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

For nearly a year, Trump pitched his proposed arch as a tourist attraction. Now, he says it will double as a military complex. This is an obvious attempt by the president to tie another one of his personal vanity projects to national security, in hopes of getting it built amid growing opposition.

During Yom Kippur, I want to wish all Jews observing an easy and meaningful fast and a reflective holiday. G’mar Chatima Tovah!

The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and a key economic engine for Virginia. Trump’s decision to roll back policy that has helped clean up and protect the Bay is a terrible step back for Virginia’s gorgeous landscapes and our economy.

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Trump is withholding the $257 million Congress allocated to renovate the Kennedy Center. Instead, he’s shutting it down because he can’t put his name on the building. Why is the president more focused on naming monuments after his own ego than he is on governing?

3217376

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

While gas prices stay above above $4/gallon, Trump’s priorities are his ballroom, the Kennedy Center, and election interference.

87818

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

From a @nytimes.com story today on disturbing new patterns of behavior from AI models. Let’s pass regulation NOW.

135512

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

NEW: 120,000 fewer Virginians have food assistance benefits after Trump’s tax bill took effect. While his unpopular war spikes prices & raises your costs, he’s making it harder and harder to access any help at all.

79932

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

NEW: OpenAI just came forward with six new incidents of “concerning” behavior by their AI models… including cases where the model inserted instructions to disregard its own constraints. We can’t wait any longer. We need to pass meaningful guardrails on AI.

44349117

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

New analyses show the Pentagon has spent $38 billion+ on this war… on top of the $100 billion in extra fuel costs Americans have spent on gas. Every day, those costs spike higher and higher. Democrats have voted time and time again to end this war. Republicans need to join us.

1011240

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Over $6/gallon diesel. Over $4/gallon gas. These are the costs of a failing war.

1613437

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Even though Congress had already appropriated $257 million for the Kennedy Center’s renovation… Trump is shutting it down entirely because he’s upset he can’t put his name on it. Why is he focused on these grievances instead of lowering costs for Americans?

1813341

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Make America Healthy Again…. Unless you want to breathe air, eat vegetables without getting explosive illnesses, or avoid measles.

1310228

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

When AI leaders are saying with one voice that we need to slow down, we need to slow down. I have a package of bills we could act on this week to start the process of regulating AI. Let’s pass them.

1710829

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

For months, we’ve been warning about threats to our elections so we could lay the groundwork for moments like this. Glad to see the Supreme Court make the wise decision to throw out this bogus attempt at interference. We will keep fighting whatever scheme comes next.

97213

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! All month long, we celebrate the enormous impact of our Hispanic and Latino communities across Virginia. Let’s keep supporting Latino-owned small businesses and paying tribute to the enormous contributions of the Latino diaspora!

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Donald Trump claims we don’t need AI regulation… just a “high IQ” president. The bad news is we don’t have either. And we really need that AI regulation now.

89722

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

NEW: Senator Kaine and I just introduced our DCA Air Safety Act to reduce traffic and improve safety at the airport.

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Let me get this straight: Trump and his cronies are threatening to close the Kennedy Center unless his name is slapped on the building?

2517669

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

A Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding – paying for one of the private islands, fireworks, and more. Why is a Putin-linked oligarch spending a fortune on Jr.’s wedding?

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

AI has tremendous potential — but even the companies building it are sounding the alarm on the risks. Congress can’t afford to sit on the sidelines. I’ve already introduced a comprehensive legislative agenda to ensure America leads the world in developing AI safely and responsibly.
