We owe it to the memory of George Floyd and so many others to find a path forward on police reform. Meaningful reform is good for our communities, good for the police, and good for our country. — PolitiTweet.org

The founding principle of the American revolution was that no one should be forced to pay taxes without representation. And yet in America's capital, hundreds of thousands of residents have done just that for more than 200 years. It's time for #DCStatehood. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JECDems: One year ago today #GeorgeFloyd was murdered and the U.S. is still trying to understand the true costs of police misconduct.… — PolitiTweet.org

I'm gratified that the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act has passed out of committee today—an important step towards passage of this critical legislation that will support our healers through the trauma and mental health challenges their work too often entails. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s long past time to address egregious racial disparities in maternal and infant mortality. Today, @lisamurkowski and I re-introduced our Mothers and Newborns Success Act to ensure women—particularly women of color—and their newborns receive the care and support they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Today I am thinking of George Floyd's daughter Gianna, his family and loved ones, and everyone across the country and world who has been anguished by his murder. In his memory, we must continue the fight to dismantle the racism and violence that exists in America. — PolitiTweet.org

As America begins to exhale in relief, we can't stop working to get every community vaccinated. Know anyone who still needs their vaccine? Tell them to text their ZIP code to GETVAX (438829)—or to VACUNA (822862) for Spanish—for 3 locations near them with free vaccines available. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Nearly a year after George Floyd's murder, we are still grappling with the inhumane and incalculable human and social costs of police misconduct. But there’s another type of cost as well: the economic cost of police misconduct. My op-ed with @RepDonBeyer: https://t.co/yaFBgd8hPl — PolitiTweet.org

I recently introduced the bipartisan International Press Freedom Act to fund programs that help keep foreign journalists safe; prevent, investigate, and prosecute crimes against journalists overseas; and create a new visa category to let threatened journalists come to the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Reports of the Belarusian regime forcing down a commercial airplane to target a journalist are outrageous. This is a violation of international law. We will not stand for such repressive acts against freedom of the press. Protasevich must be released immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

In the wake of passage of an anti-hate crimes bill, all should unify to condemn anti-semitism as well as attacks on anyone due to their religion. America is a place for all to worship or not as they please. This isn’t true in so much of the world. https://t.co/bg7q7xV2QL — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

It’s hard for anyone to get to the US Senate. But two recent books—@maziehirono’s Heart of Fire and @ewarren’s Persist—show how rocky the path still is for women. The burdens of child-raising, society’s expectations, sexual harassment. Grateful for their leadership and example. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Finally a cease fire between Israel and Hamas. Now the U.S. and allies in the region and world must push to promote long-term peace between Israel and Palestine. Just saying “two state solution” is not enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I am so glad to see the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act signed into law by @POTUS today—and am particularly proud that provisions from the Khalid Jabara-Heather Heyer NO HATE Act are included. Today is an important step in the effort to stamp out bigotry and strengthen our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I am so relieved to see the Biden Administration reverse this despicably cruel policy, as I called on the Trump Administration to do last August. It is not only consistent with U.S. law, but will also help us better advance our values of justice and equal rights for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The biggest threat to Roe v. Wade in 30 years. The justices cannot turn back the clock on reproductive freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Tonight I join my Senate colleagues in calling for an immediate ceasefire agreement in Israel and the Palestinian territories to halt the escalation of violence and prevent further loss of life. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Croshaw was a talented public servant and kind and devoted friend. So sorry for Kendra and the entire family. — PolitiTweet.org

Porchella in our neighborhood with 20+ bands playing on porches. This is Indira and Guppy Jo behind the debris container! https://t.co/gNJ4rDhDjG — PolitiTweet.org

Surprise, surprise... Right wing dark money group bragging about their success in getting Republican legislatures to pass voter suppression laws. Time to pass the For the People Act! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Thankful for all the first responders, health care professionals, and scientists who have helped get us here! Let's keep it going so we can continue America's recovery. Virginians, go to https://t.co/zcAGgNEqus or call (877) VAX-IN-VA to schedule your vaccine if you haven't yet. — PolitiTweet.org

Eid Mubarak! Sending my warm wishes to the Muslim community in Virginia and around the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Why do we strictly regulate the use of chemical weapons in battle but not the use of tear gas in domestic law enforcement? Today, I introduced the Preventing the Misuse of Tear Gas Act because it’s time to limit the use of chemical irritants against peaceful protestors. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I'm closely monitoring efforts to restore the pipeline—and once it's restored, I will be pushing for accountability for the cyberattackers responsible as well as efforts to prevent situations like this in the future. In the meantime, I urge all to stay calm and be good neighbors. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We witnessed an attack on our democracy just four months ago. We're seeing more states try to make it harder to vote. Protecting this fundamental American right is of existential importance—and today is an important step forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Israel and Palestine need leaders of courage—not governmental stalemate, not canceled elections. And the U.S. must unite with other nations to support meaningful steps toward peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I'm heartsick about escalating violence in Israel. Eviction of Palestinians from their homes during a pandemic, standoffs between Palestinians and Israeli police, Hamas launching rocket attacks cruelly targeting Israeli civilians, Israeli air strikes in Gaza. When will it end? — PolitiTweet.org
