As we celebrate #NationalComingOutDay and honor the courage it takes to show your most authentic self, let's also recommit to fighting for everyone in the LBGTQ+ community's right to live and work freely, without fear—it's far past time for the Senate to pass the Equality Act! — PolitiTweet.org

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay we come together to recognize the immense contributions of Indigenous peoples all throughout America. I've been honored to work closely with many leaders of Tribal Nations here in Virginia, and welcome this opportunity to celebrate their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

The widespread reports of mail service disruptions in Virginia—especially amid a critical election in which many rely on mail-in voting options—are deeply concerning. Our Virginia leaders in Congress and Richmond are pushing USPS to address these issues without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Heart wrenching to read these messages—and to know that they're all too familiar to many parents across America. This Congress must pass commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. We cannot wait any longer to change what has become "normal" in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

McConnell backed away from GOP attempt to hold our economy hostage. They’ll surely try to play dangerous political games again, but Dems won’t allow default. Now let’s focus on issues that’ll help Americans—like infrastructure, child care, and lowering prescription drug costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I was proud to join Senate Democrats yesterday to introduce this legislation to restore the full protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. It is our constitutional duty to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act—to protect our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Glad to see the Department of Education heeding our calls and taking steps to remove the barriers that have kept too many teachers, social workers, firefighters, and many other public servants from receiving the student loan forgiveness they have worked toward and deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

It's been 3 years since Virginia resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi was horrifically murdered by the Saudi government. Today I'm thinking of all who cared for him—and I'm urging passage of my bipartisan International Press Freedom Act to protect journalists around the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Just voted to fund the government—we are not going to allow the US government to shut down on Democrats' watch.  Now, despite Republicans blocking action, Democrats are going to find a solution to raise the debt ceiling and avoid the first credit default in American history. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Right now, the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on Texas’s extreme abortion ban that’s designed to avoid judicial review. As more GOP-led states follow Texas’s lead to undermine #RoevWade, Congress must act—it’s time to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

It's past time to get serious about addressing climate change. We can't leave a planet in tatters for our kids and grandkids to deal with. Our bipartisan infrastructure bill and our Build Back Better package both make huge strides to protect our planet—let's get them passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Many ways to celebrate #NationalVoterRegistrationDay —visit https://t.co/B21QKpeiSj to register (VA, you've got until October 12!), remind a friend or family member to do the same, or call your members of Congress to urge passage of our critical Freedom to Vote Act: 202-224-3121 — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

When Republicans were in power, Dems voted with them to avoid defaulting—now, they need to do the same. When are they gonna stop playing "chicken" with our economy and do their jobs? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Today I’ll vote to ensure the government stays open and pays our bills. Shutdown is bad for everyone—workers, consumers, communities. And the bills we've got are from bipartisan legislation like COVID relief. It's a no brainer. — PolitiTweet.org

I was so glad to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth by honoring Hispanic and Latinx community leaders from all across the Commonwealth—and we had fun enjoying a tremendous musical and artistic presentation from special guests, too. Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month! https://t.co/yNf3yK7Egd — PolitiTweet.org

This came in the mail today. So I called Senator Warner and thanked him for cosponsoring the voting rights bill! https://t.co/lBqRYOkRBO — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Glad to see the House has passed the Women's Health Protection Act—now the Senate must follow suit and codify Roe's protections into federal law. We cannot let cruel and extreme efforts to control women be enacted in states all across America. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This is a tragic milestone for our country. If you or your family members haven't been vaccinated yet, there is no time like the present to do your part to keep our communities safe. https://t.co/oaA8Mq7M1P has reliable information about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

Cut a ribbon at the expansion of @catoctincreek distillery today and discovered that they are the whiskey fave of one of my hometown bands. Mine too. The water of life is a unifier! https://t.co/sfcykk0kCP — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

My office is closely monitoring these reports—and as we await more information, I am praying for the safety of all involved. Our students and teachers and school personnel have already been through so much. A shooting like this is enormously sad. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I’m saddened by this decision, but remain committed to protecting immigrants who call America home—including over 20,000 TPS holders and 9,000 DACA recipients in VA. We are stronger thanks to their contributions, and I will not rest until we put them on the path to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I was proud to vote early this morning at my registrar’s office for @TerryMcAuliffe, @HalaAyala, @MarkHerringVA, and my delegate @JeffMBourne. Voting is so easy and convenient all across Virginia, so make sure you go to https://t.co/B21QKpeiSj to make your plan to vote this year! https://t.co/V68vtUk20G — PolitiTweet.org

Why so small? No Trump telling people to come to DC and get wild. Why? Because there was no election certification to overthrow. https://t.co/xAROUHF5b7 — PolitiTweet.org

We call health care workers our heroes. But we've got to make sure we really treat them like that. On #NPSADay, that starts with acknowledging this mental health crisis and reflecting on how we can better support our health care workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I worked on this legislation with the support of Dr. Breen's sister and brother-in-law—co-founders of the @drbreenheroes foundation—as well as Virginia frontline physicians @DrCollazo and @rivakamat, and was glad to join them at the Capitol this week to urge its passage. https://t.co/iT6XvN8oa8 — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

On this important day, I'm calling for swift and final passage of my Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act—a bipartisan bill that works to reduce and prevent suicide, burnout, and mental and behavioral health conditions among health care professionals. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

When Dr. Lorna Breen, a Charlottesville native and frontline ER physician, died by suicide in April 2020, her family took their unimaginable grief and channeled it into the cause of making sure our health care professionals can come forward and ask for mental health support. — PolitiTweet.org
