Proud to have supported this legislation to address the recent spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans. This legislation will send a message that bigotry has no place in our country and that violence will be prosecuted. — PolitiTweet.org

For too long, our neighbors in D.C. have been denied civil rights and subject to taxation without representation in Congress. The Senate should follow the House's lead in giving equal rights to D.C.'s more than 700,000 residents that the rest of the country enjoys. — PolitiTweet.org

This #EarthDay I'm grateful to have a @POTUS in the White House who believes in science over fiction, and a Democratic Congress ready to take real action to take on the crisis facing our planet. The time is now for bold action towards a greener and more just future. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The spike we’ve seen in anti-Asian hate is beyond disturbing, and we can't be bystanders to this violence. The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act would help address it, and I urge ALL my colleagues to support it. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Giving Beijing the global platform of Olympic hosting amid gross human rights violations—including government-sponsored genocide against Uyghurs—is irresponsible. While we still support the achievements of our hardworking young athletes, I urge a diplomatic boycott of the Games. — PolitiTweet.org

Darnella Frazier, the teenager who filmed the video of George Floyd’s murder, should win a Pulitzer Prize for photojournalism. She is a stellar example of how everyday people can be powerful in documenting injustice and creating momentum for accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

So much to say about Walter Mondale. I will always think of him as the chief sponsor of the Fair Housing Act and first presidential candidate to ask a woman to join him on the ticket. Ahead of his time. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Putin’s treatment of Alexei Navalny is abhorrent. Navalny must be released immediately and unconditionally. After poisoning him, unjustifiably locking him up, and now denying him proper medical care, Putin stands guilty of a gross human rights violation in front of the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Every adult in the U.S. is now able to get a COVID vaccine, and as someone who has had COVID, I can tell you firsthand: getting the vaccine is the right thing to do. For yourself, for your family, and for your community—let's do this. Visit https://t.co/NUgv387tAc! — PolitiTweet.org

While we mourn the anniversary of the horrific tragedy at Virginia Tech, more families are mourning lives lost to yet another mass shooting. My heart aches for families in Indianapolis today. We cannot keep standing by in the face of these needless losses. — PolitiTweet.org

Fourteen years ago, 32 people were killed in what was then the worst mass shooting in American history. As Governor at the time, it was easily the worst day of my life. Today, we remember the lives lost too soon, honor their memories, and hold in our hearts all who loved them. — PolitiTweet.org

We know that gun violence prevention legislation won't eliminate all violence—but we take steps every day to improve situations. Seatbelts improve vehicle safety. Raising the tobacco age reduces death to lung diseases. It's time to do the same with the scourge of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

The legislation @MarkWarner and I introduced today takes commonsense steps that the Virginia General Assembly passed to keep people safer—steps that are working. Universal background checks. One handgun purchase a month. Protections for domestic abuse victims. We need action. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Virginia has been grappling with the scar tissue of gun violence and has taken meaningful steps to keep people safer. It's time to do the same in Congress—because we don't have to be bystanders to tragic violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Now is the time for police reform—including the Cost of Police Misconduct Act. It would: -Let the public know about ALL allegations of police misconduct -Track the price of lawsuit judgments and settlements Shedding light on this darkness is a critical step in spurring reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to be with my friend @chefjoseandres this evening—his @WCKitchen is here at the Capitol to offer a small gesture of thanks to our Capitol Police officers and their families for everything they do. https://t.co/YlKrLVtgtW — PolitiTweet.org

Now, I look forward to working with the Administration on revising the authorization for the use of military force that has underpinned this long war. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The challenges ahead won’t be solved with a continuing military presence but through the hard work of the Afghanistan government, Afghan people, and international community—lasting change can only come from the Afghans themselves, not U.S. forces. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

As we maintain humanitarian and diplomatic support for a partner nation, we should continue to work with the UN and regional partners towards a peace deal for the security and prosperity of the Afghan people—and to ensure Afghanistan does not again become a haven for terrorists. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Development outcomes in Afghanistan, including access to education for women, increased life expectancy, and access to electricity, have significantly improved. Additionally, Osama bin Laden is dead, and Al-Qaeda degraded. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I support the Biden Administration’s decision to withdraw the remaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan by September 11th. As we approach the 20th year of the war—the longest in U.S. history—we should acknowledge what we achieved and be realistic about the challenges that remain: — PolitiTweet.org

Today I’m attending a ceremony honoring Officer Billy Evans, a loving dad and VA resident who was killed protecting our Capitol.  This year has brought incredible trauma on our Capitol Police heroes—we must do more to support them as they continue to put their lives on the line. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

For those who question the need to proclaim Black Lives Matter, the killing of Daunte Wright provides the answer, yet again: Because they continue to be treated as if they don’t. Police reforms are needed—now—but that’s just the start. — PolitiTweet.org
