I’m proud to introduce the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act to support the mental health of health care workers on the front lines fighting this pandemic. No one can witness that much suffering firsthand without it affecting them and we must support them now. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing how invested some remain in downplaying the monstrous institution of American slavery. https://t.co/q6Z6OQBr9H — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP’s top priority in this bill is protecting businesses from lawsuits. But lawsuits are not the biggest threat facing our country—it's the health crisis and the carnage it's inflicting on American families. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Both the Democratic House and Republican Senate agree: End reverence for the Confederacy. But President Trump cares more about the Lost Cause than things like paying our troops and building US ships. We need to put this bill on his desk—bet he’s too 🐓 to veto! — PolitiTweet.org

RT @LokayFOX5: BREAKING: Robert E. Lee High School in Fairfax County set to get a new name: John R. Lewis High School, named after the late… — PolitiTweet.org

My preferred name... DC Beat Rowdy fans in end zone? Beatniks Team spirit? Beatitude (like Natitude) Team tunes? Anything Chuck Brown, plus Go-Go’s “We Got the Beat” https://t.co/6YsKecBAvS — PolitiTweet.org

You either support the equality of all or you do not. And if you honor those who opposed our equality, indeed, opposed the very notion of our humanity, what hope can we have about overcoming the real time injustices that are manifest all around us? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This week we’re pushing to pass the national defense bill—including our amendment to rename bases named for Confederates. If we honor those who fought to deprive those of African descent of their equality, we signal that we’re not committed to our most fundamental American value. — PolitiTweet.org

No woman should have to fear for her or her child’s health because of her race. I’m calling on my Senate colleagues to support this bill and include it in the next coronavirus relief package so we can enact positive systemic changes to make sure more women and newborns thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

A great article about being with John Lewis on a Civil Rights pilgrimage in 2014. Seems like yesterday. https://t.co/vGsI0fDaGL — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The Virginia General Assembly passed commonsense reforms to take on gun violence and it's time for Congress to follow suit. Today I'm proud to introduce the Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act with my friend @MarkWarner—because we can't be bystanders in this fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. They’ve only had 9 weeks since D’s passed Heroes Act to get GOP Act together. https://t.co/cgti8guQcN — PolitiTweet.org

In month 6, he finally awakens. Rip Van Trump. https://t.co/hE2UvhwXVV — PolitiTweet.org

This Friday, renters' protections come to an end and millions of Americans could face eviction amidst a collapsing economy and a worsening public health crisis. We can't leave families in the lurch—we need to pass emergency housing assistance, and fast. https://t.co/ROkve2nDcs — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Trump is willing to battle against protestors even as he gives up on battling the coronavirus. He spouts off about dishwashers and showerheads and rails against fair housing laws as the US death toll climbs. Senate is in session tomorrow—and the US needs an intervention. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

So what does the Trump Administration do? Directs non-DOD personnel to play dress up (camo in downtown Portland?), hide their real identities, and harass protestors—over the objection of Oregon’s state and local officials. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

“Unidentified federal agents in military-style gear”? Both the House and Senate strongly support barring use of military to suppress lawful protest. The DOD also supports the ban. https://t.co/pWWH7mnxZq — PolitiTweet.org

Today is National Ice Cream Day. If you’re near Richmond, might I suggest my neighborhood ice cream shop? (With a mask, of course.) You will not regret it. https://t.co/oDvzVoOQwQ — PolitiTweet.org

Wartime President? Waving the white flag of surrender. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

For his freedom ride at age 21, John Lewis was taunted, beaten, and arrested. Asked why he persisted, he explained, “Every generation leaves behind a legacy... What legacy do you want to leave behind?” Congressman Lewis’s moral courage transformed this country. May it live on. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Sidelining and scapegoating the CDC is not the answer. Decreasing data transparency could jeopardize our response to COVID-19, costing us valuable time and lives. Stand with science! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Tackling a pandemic that has infected more than 3 million Americans is not political, and discrediting health experts fighting to protect Americans won't make it go away. I'm thankful for Dr. Fauci's expertise and guidance—let's listen to him. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Peter Navarro, the White House Adviser with no health training or credentials, is in USA Today attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci’s health expertise. You can’t make this stuff up! (Oops, apparently Navarro does make stuff up...) https://t.co/AudxSAWUoN — PolitiTweet.org

There needs to be a new 12-step program—QAnon Anonymous. First step: “I admit that I am powerless before wacky conspiracy theories and they have made my life unmanageable.” https://t.co/V8cgIef5nS — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Five years ago today, the US came to an agreement to restrict Iran’s nuclear program. It worked. Then Trump—against the advice of his national security team—ripped up the deal, raising the risk of unnecessary war. We need to elect a President committed to diplomacy first. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Good. These kids are part of their communities, here to learn, and have already been determined through the visa screening process to pose no danger. This policy was cruel, senseless, and xenophobic. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Proud to support @ReverendWarnock’s campaign for U.S. Senate alongside so many of my colleagues. Rev. Warnock is a voice every Georgian can rely on—whether it's speaking up for affordable health care or demanding a living wage. Join him at https://t.co/LPVrwDhptR. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

COVID cases are surging. The pandemic is raging. The economy is collapsing. And millions have lost their jobs. We may disagree on what should be in the next bill, but we should all be able to agree families need relief now. Congress MUST pass another package this summer. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The “Law and Order” president. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Americans have been rightly demanding reforms to our criminal justice system, and it’s past time for Congress to deliver meaningful action. The House passed the #JusticeInPolicing Act two weeks ago—the Senate needs to hold a vote. — PolitiTweet.org
