I lived under a dictatorship in Honduras in 1980-1981. I’ve seen it before—I just never thought I'd see it here. But as shown by these hearings, Trump’s behavior was authoritarian. The Jan 6 hearings are not only to educate, but to help us prevent this from ever happening again. — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrated 44 years of Dr. Harvey’s leadership at @_HamptonU! I deeply admire him and hope he takes pride in the tremendous Hampton alums who he’s influenced. https://t.co/ZCCVHJ8kzV — PolitiTweet.org

An important first step to reduce gun violence in our communities. The Senate must move quickly to pass this long overdue proposal. https://t.co/HdTTxxN872 — PolitiTweet.org

Time well spent as part of the Congressional delegation to the Summit of the Americas to tackle Hemisphere-wide challenges — from economic inequality to immigration. We all have a stake in a safe and vibrant Americas. https://t.co/lQ7EP8SLgS — PolitiTweet.org

I never would have imagined being barricaded in a room for hours amid a violent assault on our democracy on January 6th. These hearings are not only about getting answers—they’re about taking steps to ensure that we as a nation never go through anything like that ever again. — PolitiTweet.org

I heard very powerful stories from parents today highlighting the need to lower child care costs. @PattyMurray and I talked about our proposal to do just that. It's the right thing to do for kids, their parents' pocketbooks, and for our economy. https://t.co/eX9kGaoxSQ — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s pressure on Russian religious leaders is causing a deep rift in the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches. Now we learn that Moscow’s chief rabbi chose exile rather than support an illegal war. Blessings to him and his family. https://t.co/W3ZBBoOok1 — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Thank you to my colleagues in the House for taking decisive action to protect our kids. Now we need to follow suit in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful discussion on gun violence prevention with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington today. These students—and people all across the country—are demanding that Congress pass reforms to make our communities safer. Let’s listen to these bright young people and act. https://t.co/nYe58dos1I — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we honor the sacrifices of the Allied Forces on D-Day. I’m in awe of the bravery of our servicemembers. D-Day was about defeating fascism and creating hope for a brighter future. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Good news for the environment and also anti-inflationary. Glad the Administration heeded our calls. https://t.co/1zmO04UhMT — PolitiTweet.org

Virginia requires magazine limitation for duck hunting—no more than 3 rounds in a shotgun. Why? It's not fair to ducks. Yet when we try to limit magazines to 10 rounds in Congress, we’re blocked. If we can limit magazines to protect ducks, we must do the same to protect people. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

While there’s many reasons to despair right now, Virginia gives me hope: In 2020, Virginia enacted reforms to reduce gun violence like universal background checks—making the future brighter and more secure for Virginians. If we can do it in Virginia, we can do it in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Glad to have a compassionate leader in @POTUS who is willing to listen and act. The majority of Americans support commonsense steps to reduce gun violence—like universal background checks. I’m urging my Senate colleagues to heed the calls for action NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

A seatbelt doesn’t prevent every car accident fatality, but it dramatically reduces them. While we can’t prevent all gun violence tragedies, there ARE commonsense steps we can take to reduce them—we’ve got to act on them now. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I’m heartbroken to see more lives cut short by gun violence—and I’m determined to act. How could the Senate—a body that calls itself the greatest deliberative body in the world—see tragedy after tragedy and decide the right answer is ‘we're going to do nothing’? We must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

It’s Pride Month! Happy to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community today and every day. While our nation has made progress towards LGBTQ+ equality, we have a lot of work ahead—including passing the Equality Act to help ensure no one faces discrimination for who they are or whom they love. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Our prayers for their families should be unceasing, but it’s not enough. We must act to decrease the chance that this will happen again. We must act to ensure kids at school will be safer in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

My heart is with their loved ones today.  If we can act to prevent the heartbreak their families felt, we must. If we don't demonstrate—by more than just words—that we are touched by these tragedies, we’re committing the sin of indifference. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

On this Memorial Day, I hope we all take time to remember the patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we may be free. I’m deeply thankful to these men and women who have given everything to protect our country and the freedoms we hold dear. — PolitiTweet.org

Shocking new report about the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Israel must ensure a full and transparent investigation — including accountability for this killing. https://t.co/nz5QMBebSJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Our Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act means: Universal background checks. One-handgun-a-month limit. Reporting lost/stolen firearms. Preventing firearm access to minors. Strengthening safeguards for domestic violence victims. Extreme Risk Protection Orders. Let’s act NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We must pass our Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act ASAP. @MarkWarner and I introduced this bill to federally enact gun violence prevention measures passed in Virginia, including universal background checks. If we can do it in the NRA’s backyard, we can do it in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We have a deep sickness in this country. We cannot accept it as normal. I’m not going to stop pushing for legislation to make our communities safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Continued engagement with U.S. allies and partners is another step in the right direction. I look forward to learning more about the progress we can make with the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. https://t.co/tBYTHsVHn6 — PolitiTweet.org
