Happy Independence Day! On Fourth of July, I’m reflecting on our American values—freedom, democracy, justice, equality, and love of country. We must keep orienting by those values to build a more perfect union. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We need to be pressing on all levers to lower costs for American families. That means finally rolling back Trump’s failed tariffs—direct taxes that have led to tens of billions in total price increases for consumers. My oped in the @virginianpilot: https://t.co/xnSwaqvDlu — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the worthy recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Very proud of my friend, Virginian Khizr Khan. https://t.co/8f39qIAgJ0 — PolitiTweet.org

All smiles to see Justice Jackson officially join the Supreme Court today! She has repeatedly demonstrated her dedication to integrity, equality, and justice for all, and I know she will serve with distinction on the bench. https://t.co/4gVOdMqGLl — PolitiTweet.org

At a time we’re seeing devastating impacts of climate change in Virginia and the nation, it’s outrageous that the out-of-touch Supreme Court has handcuffed the EPA’s ability to address climate change. We should be using all the tools at our disposal to tackle the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Missed opportunity. VA leads in offshore wind. Why be absent from the federal effort to accelerate clean energy? Pure partisanship. https://t.co/JazdQiTr9T — PolitiTweet.org

Whether states protect or eliminate abortion access will send a clear message about their respect for women. Profound implications. We have to make sure Virginia maintains its laws protecting choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Hard to do this in today’s Senate. But bipartisan gun safety legislation seemed impossible too until we did it one week ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The wildly out of touch Supreme Court has ruled that reproductive decisions aren’t worthy of constitutional protection but must be matters for legislative action. That’s why I’m working with colleagues to craft a federal guarantee of reproductive freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We need more Democrats in the Senate to help us codify Roe v. Wade. Volunteer, donate, vote this November: https://t.co/Ly8qHc7fdA — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Abortion is still legal in Virginia, but Governor Youngkin wants to ban it after 15 weeks, and Republicans in Congress want to implement a national ban on abortion. I’m working in the Senate to protect the right to choose legislatively—we’re not going to stop pushing for this. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

In 2016, with a vacancy on the Court, Trump promised to elevate Justices to overturn Roe. 3 Trump Justices later, SCOTUS gutted Roe, gun safety laws, environmental protections, campaign finance rules. We learned our lesson and turned out big in 2020. Let’s do it again in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We never gave up on our quest to reduce gun violence. Big progress today—years in the making—but we can do even more to make our communities safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

No way. This proposal would restrict Virginians’ access to reproductive freedoms—taking us backwards and harming women across the Commonwealth. Virginia shouldn't roll back women's rights. https://t.co/l61YNFpxz3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The successful GOP effort to block consideration of Merrick Garland and jam through Justice Barrett has produced a Court wildly out of touch with the deeply held beliefs of Americans on reproductive freedom, gun safety, environmental protection, and so much else. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This decision flies in the face of decades of precedent protecting women’s rights to make fundamental personal decisions without needless government interference. Congress must act now to protect those rights. We're not going to give up on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This bill is a positive step that will save lives and open up the path for more progress. Both on the gun safety side and the mental health side, it's going to do a lot of good. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We should have an excess profits tax on big oil producers who are raking in record profits and rebate that tax—100% of it—back to consumers. While gas prices are high, let's go after the oil companies that are raking in excess profits and put the money back in people's pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

For 50 years, Title IX has been critical to prohibiting sex-based discrimination and advancing equity in education. Today, on Title IX’s 50th anniversary, we celebrate the progress made to expand opportunities and recognize the work ahead to reach our North Star of equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This decision takes away safeguards when we should be working to enact them. It’s up to Congress to finally act to prevent gun tragedies. We must pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to take a step in that direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrating #Juneteenth with @LoudounNaacp. When I think about Juneteenth, I think about a powerful phrase: "the truth will set you free." It’s not just a freedom holiday—it’s a truth holiday. We must acknowledge truths of our past and create a brighter, more equitable future. https://t.co/DpKB3K90zm — PolitiTweet.org

Why does Dad always take an extra pair of pants when he goes golfing? In case he gets a hole in one! — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Father’s Day! I’m incredibly grateful for my dad Al, and to be a dad to 3 amazing adult kids. — PolitiTweet.org

#Juneteenth is a day of remembrance and a day of celebration of progress. While struggles for freedom and equality still exist today, we know from the past that opening doors of opportunity to all Americans will make us a stronger nation going forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Our veterans have sacrificed so much in defense of our nation. We need to make sure the VA is there for them. That's what this bill would help do. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

There are 9,000 DACA recipients in Virginia. They have strengthened our communities and economy, and for many of them, America is the only home they’ve ever known. We must pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship for our Dreamers. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Great visit to @CFNCpreschool to read to kids and talk child care reform. Too many parents are locked out of the workforce because they can’t afford child care. My plan with @PattyMurray would lower child care costs—helping parents get back to work and strengthening our economy. https://t.co/7sRZtnUiXF — PolitiTweet.org
