Yesterday I visited Virginia’s Fort Lee, where thousands of our Afghan partners—many of whom fought side by side with Americans—are starting their own new chapter. These are resilient families, grateful for the opportunity. America will rise to the moment by helping them succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Today is the first day in 20 years that the US is not at war. Dangers and challenges abound and we will always meet them in the moment. But Joe Biden has chosen to end forever war. A powerful new chapter for America. — PolitiTweet.org

I am thinking of everyone in the path of Hurricane Ida—please be as safe as possible and follow recommendations from local officials. — PolitiTweet.org

I keep returning to the heroism of the servicemembers who lost their lives yesterday and the heartbreak their families are enduring. I can scarcely begin to imagine the grief. My heart is with them, and my deep gratitude is with all who serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Closely monitoring the horrific attack at the Kabul airport—my prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. It’s critical that we work to secure the area and prioritize evacuation of US citizens and Afghan allies. I thank our servicemembers on the ground for their bravery. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I’m glad to see Virginia mobilizing to provide much-needed support for our Afghan allies as they are welcomed to the US. We must continue to do all we can in the Commonwealth and around the country to offer help to those at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Great news and a big step forward in our fight against this pandemic. I urge everyone who hasn’t already been vaccinated to schedule your first dose right away—vaccines save lives. Visit https://t.co/2C4T0GZtqi to get started. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I joined 50+ colleagues in signing a bipartisan letter to the Administration today, urging swift action for the urgent evacuation of Afghan Special Immigrant Visa applicants and their families. We must do everything possible to ensure the safety of US citizens and Afghan allies. https://t.co/kovgDkBT4p — PolitiTweet.org

While I believe it is now time to bring our troops home, we also must continue working to maintain humanitarian and diplomatic support for Afghanistan to ensure the country does not again become a safe haven for al-Qaeda. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The U.S. went into Afghanistan in 2001 to defeat those who attacked the U.S. on 9/11, and 10 years later, we found and killed Osama bin Laden. We stayed an additional decade to help train Afghan security forces and create conditions for a more stable future in that country. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

What we are seeing unfold in Afghanistan is devastating. At this time, we must do everything we can to prioritize the evacuation of U.S. personnel, Afghan partners, journalists, women leaders, activists, human rights defenders, and others. — PolitiTweet.org

This is great news—the provisions in the American Rescue Plan to help kids and families are WORKING! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Four years ago, white supremacists descended on Charlottesville to spread bigotry. Today, we remember Heather Heyer and Virginia state troopers Jay Cullen and Berke Bates, whose lives were cruelly cut short that day—and we stand against the hate that led to their deaths. https://t.co/LgDPtJ73nj — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This Build Back Better Budget is transformative for American families and I’m so proud to celebrate its passage today. From universal pre-K and workforce development to millions of jobs, action on climate, and tax cuts for middle class families—this is a historic investment. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Thrilled the Senate has passed this historic investment in America’s recovery and economy. This bipartisan legislation will put Americans back to work in good-paying jobs, begin to fix our crumbling infrastructure, and build our country back better. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

On the 56th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act being signed into law—and over 8 years since SCOTUS first gutted it—I am more committed than ever to doing everything in my power to protect Americans' right to vote. This is the central cornerstone of our nation—we can't give up. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I was so proud to see my bipartisan Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act—legislation to equip our medical professionals with resources to cope with the trauma and challenges they face—pass the Senate last night and get one step closer to becoming law. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Rich Trumka was a friend, mineworker, labor leader—a tough guy with a huge heart and an amazing legacy. He never forgot where he came from or who he came from. I met him long ago in Southwest Virginia and will miss him very much. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Happy 60th to this guy! @BarackObama, we sure are glad you were born. https://t.co/p5FzHvamZ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Pleased my bipartisan bill to repeal the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs has been passed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This legislation reasserts Congress’s vital role in both declaring and ending wars—and reflects our strong partnership with a sovereign, democratic Iraq. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The tragic death of the Pentagon police officer yesterday reminds us how much we owe to law enforcement who keep us safe. We need police reform—just like we need Congressional reform—but we should always honor the service of those who put themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Incredibly sad news. My heart is with Officer DeFreytag’s loved ones. We must support our public service heroes who endure so much to protect our communities. These losses are gut wrenching. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

It’s heartbreaking to hear about Officer Hashida’s death—my thoughts are with his family, loved ones, and fellow DC police officers.  If you or anyone you love is hurting, please know that there is support available. Call 1-800-273-8255 any hour of the day. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

A truly excellent person to support this important work. Congratulations to my friend Mr. Khan—Virginia is proud that you call our Commonwealth home. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

On this day in 1965, LBJ signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, transforming access to health care for so many Americans. Today, we celebrate that groundbreaking legislation and commit to expanding affordable health care to ALL Americans—because health care is a human right. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This morning, a group of 250 Afghan interpreters and their families landed at Dulles and headed to Fort Lee to begin their transition to life in the US after aiding our military efforts. Glad to be with @votevets marking this important step. https://t.co/VNTDOPonkM — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

So sad to hear the news about Carl Levin passing away. A wonderful Senator, Armed Services Chair, and friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

For the past four years, every week was "infrastructure week" in the Trump Administration, and yet every week was the same—we'd get no deal. Six months into the Biden-Harris Administration, we've got a deal. This is what competent leadership looks like! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The American Rescue Plan we passed was one of the boldest pieces of legislation in American history, and families are seeing that investment pay off with a strong economy and money in their pockets. Remember: Passed by one vote with only Democrats supporting it. Elections matter! — PolitiTweet.org
