For too long, Virginia’s neighbors in D.C. have been subjected to taxation without proper representation.  I was proud to sponsor legislation to grant D.C. statehood and extend real representation to its citizens. It’s long past time to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Following a week when the world commemorates those lost in the Holocaust, antisemitic filth is being spread on flyers around Charlottesville. America’s First Freedom—all can worship, or not, as they please without fear. We must stand with our Jewish neighbors against hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, I sponsored the Assault Weapons Ban of 2023. While this won’t prevent every senseless act of gun violence, it’s a reasonable step that will help protect our communities from high-capacity weapons—and will undoubtedly save lives.  https://t.co/QhuQJnJZ1Y — PolitiTweet.org

Sickened by the murder of Tyre Nichols. Let’s come together to pray for his loved ones and peacefully call for justice. Let’s pass our Justice in Policing Act to address police misconduct. Far too many Black Americans have been victims of police brutality—we cannot be bystanders. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to the family of former Virginia delegate Jimmie Massie following his death yesterday. Our politics were quite different, but in disagreement he was never disagreeable. He will be missed. https://t.co/TbGDw1q1u1 — PolitiTweet.org

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the 6 million Jews who were killed and commit to stand against hate. I’m also thinking about the diplomats who refused to be bystanders to this evil and helped Jews escape Nazi-occupied Europe. Let us honor and learn from their courage. — PolitiTweet.org

The economy is growing. Unemployment is at record lows. 11 million jobs were created in the past 2 years—including 750k manufacturing jobs. Inflation is coming down. Wages are up. Let’s build on this progress to further reduce costs and create jobs for Virginians and Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats just lowered prescription drug costs for seniors and provided relief to bring health insurance premiums down. But R’s want to add 30 percent on top of all your bills. Nope! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

House Republicans are pushing a bill to add a 30% national sales tax on all goods and services, even your medical bills! They call it the Fair Tax Act. Doesn’t sound fair to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Roe v. Wade was decided 50 years ago today. After the Supreme Court overturned the decision, we must restore a woman’s right to make her own personal health decisions. Our bipartisan Reproductive Freedom For All Act would protect the right to abortion and contraception. — PolitiTweet.org

Horrific. My heart is with everyone impacted by this tragedy following a Lunar New Year celebration. We cannot become numb to these senseless mass shootings. We have so much more to do to make our communities safer. It’s long past time to act. https://t.co/G26z8C1X7V — PolitiTweet.org

I’m happy to announce that I will seek re-election in 2024 to keep delivering results for Virginia! I love the Commonwealth and its citizens and want to keep being your Senator. I hope to earn your support once again to battle for Virginia priorities in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

The US gave a gift to the world in its protection of religious freedom. But that right is under threat at home and abroad. I celebrate America’s rich tapestry of spiritual belief and call on all to stand against those who attack any faith tradition. — PolitiTweet.org

Other Jewish cemeteries, and historic African-American cemeteries, have also been vandalized in Richmond. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

5 years later, just blocks away, Richmond families established the first Jewish cemetery in Virginia near the corner of 21st and Franklin. It still stands today, sandwiched between downtown housing, evidence of graffiti vandalism obvious at the entrance. https://t.co/kxLPOJxFA0 — PolitiTweet.org

During this week in 1786, the Virginia legislature passed the Statute of Religious Freedom, guaranteeing the right to worship—or not—as you please and preventing government action preferring or punishing you for the choice you make. It became the foundation for the 1st Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

.@BobbyScott @SECNAV and I visited the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center in Norfolk to talk to personnel about their critical work and how we can better support them—including improving access to mental health care. Eager to work on the annual defense bill to do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

I was grateful to attend Tabernacle Baptist Church in Petersburg this morning to honor Dr. King’s life and legacy. Dr. King inspired us to focus on serving others. Today, we encourage each other to continue his good fight for justice. https://t.co/TcOAbyvV6T — PolitiTweet.org

So good to join the Roanoke Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference today to celebrate MLK’s life and legacy. Dr. King inspires us to recognize our common humanity and engage in efforts to help others. Let’s keep marching forward in Dr. King’s memory and spirit. https://t.co/BfZws0n8yi — PolitiTweet.org

There are some voices in Congress trying to stop support for Ukraine. I want to be clear: There has been and must continue to be strong bipartisan support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion and human rights abuses. The world's greatest democracy cannot turn a blind eye. — PolitiTweet.org
