Senator Tim Kaine

It’s been 76 days since Trump launched his illegal war in Iran, and the Administration is STILL refusing to share with Congress or the public an official legal rationale for the conflict—all while pushing for $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon. Everything about that is ridiculous.

Costs are soaring, but Republicans want to take $1 BILLION from Americans’ pockets to build a ballroom. @MarkWarner and I crunched the numbers—here are some of the many ways that money could be used to help Virginians instead:

Happy 419th birthday to the Virginia National Guard! From responding to emergencies at home to serving on missions overseas, the National Guard has always answered the call in times of need. Thank you for your continuous service to the Commonwealth and our nation.

My colleagues and I have been forcing votes to stop the war against Iran—and we’re making progress. Today, our War Powers Resolution got 49 votes. My colleagues are hearing more and more from their constituents: end this costly and unnecessary war.

Democrats, Republicans, and Independents can all agree—Trump’s war of choice in Iran is hurting America. My colleagues and I are giving Senate Republicans yet another opportunity to do what’s right and end this war.

Scammers impersonating federal agents have been targeting Virginia families whose loved ones have been detained by ICE. Remember: No government agency will ever ask for money through gift cards or mobile payment apps. ICE does not contact members of the public through WhatsApp.

So happy to see the servicemembers of the Ford CSG returning home! Congratulations on a successful deployment amid multiple extensions and challenging circumstances. Welcome home!

It’s been 74 days since President Trump launched his war of choice in Iran. Gas prices are rising. U.S. servicemembers have been injured and killed. My colleagues and I are giving Republicans another chance to do what’s right and end this war. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I had a great visit to @ColonnaShipyard last week to hear more about the work they’re doing to support the Navy and meet with regional stakeholders to discuss how we can ensure Virginia remains the center of naval shipbuilding and repair.

Americans wanted prices to come down. Then, Trump started an unnecessary war with Iran that has killed U.S. servicemembers and is driving prices even higher. How much more pain is he willing to inflict on the American people?

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers in Virginia and across the country! Today, I am thinking of my mom Kathy, and my incredible wife, Anne. Thank you to every mom for all that you do!

My statement on the Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn a free and fair constitutional amendment referendum to redraw congressional districts in Virginia:

Great to visit @FredVaGoodwill in Fredericksburg today to learn about their CareerPath Accelerator, an innovative AI-enabled program to help job-seekers identify their skills and find jobs with employers. I'll keep working to pass legislation that expands access to job training.

Happy National Small Business Week! VA’s small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I’ll continue to do all I can to safeguard them from economic uncertainty. This week and every week, I encourage everyone to visit and support the small businesses in your communities.

May is Older Americans Month. Older adults deserve to age in their communities with care and dignity, and I am committed to protecting and strengthening Social Security and Medicaid to help make that possible.

Hundreds of farms can’t survive under Trump. His chaotic economic policies—including his tariffs and war against Iran, which have driven up costs and caused a fertilizer crisis—are hurting our farmers. I’ll keep doing all I can to reverse this trend.

This National Nurses Week and every week, let’s recognize the exceptional nurses in our communities that keep us safe and healthy. From supporting their mental health to addressing health care staffing shortages, I’m going to keep doing all I can to stand with our healers.

It was great to join leadership and staff from @NNMFHC today to tour their facility, discuss challenges they’re facing after Medicaid cuts, and learn more about how they will use $1 million in funding I secured to expand access to dental services.

It was great to visit @NASAWallops and @RocketLab today to see up close the incredible contributions being made on the Eastern Shore to space exploration, science research, and our national security.
