The President is not above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

The WHO is here to lead coordinated responses to global health concerns—for example, a pandemic that has taken half a million lives. Of course Trump withdrew. At every turn, he's slashed health budgets, undermined health care, and ignored health warnings. President Grim Reaper. — PolitiTweet.org

A great Virginian! — PolitiTweet.org

Trump claims progress against virus as cases rise. Someone needs to explain it to him in a way he can understand: It’s like golf—a high number is bad, not good. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JoeBiden: This Fourth of July, one of the most patriotic things you can do is wear a mask. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

As we celebrate Independence Day, let us also remember that on this day 244 years ago, not all in America were free. We're still working towards that North Star of true equality in our country. This Fourth of July, let's keep that work going—and however you celebrate, stay safe. — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud that my hometown is removing these painful symbols. No need to honor those who tried to destroy the USA so they could perpetuate slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

So Trump won’t condemn Russia bounty payments for killing U.S. troops AND wants to veto defense bill giving our troops a pay raise? https://t.co/oflBW1QrWe — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Please wear a mask. It’s a little bit to protect yourself—but it’s mostly to protect people around you. We’re commanded to love our neighbor. This is a very simple thing you can do to love your neighbor. — PolitiTweet.org

The CDC has finally released much-needed guidance for higher education institutions to start to tackle COVID testing. I've been pressing for this, and I'm glad it's here—but we need scientific leaders like @CDCgov to keep releasing timely guidance as we work towards reopening. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I asked Dr. Fauci about his concern regarding anti-science attitudes. He said, “We're in the middle of a catastrophic outbreak and we really do need to be guided by scientific principles." We ALL must listen to the science—it's not political, it's life-or-death. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Let this sink in... President Trump is “not known to fully or regularly read the President’s Daily Brief, something that is well-known within the White House.“ And this is our Commander-in-Chief? https://t.co/wo9ctb9GTJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We owe all who have served or are serving in Afghanistan—and their families—answers. What did the President know? Why was Congress not informed? Why did he take no action? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Trump and Putin have multiple phone calls this spring, including within days of the White House emergency meetings in March. Topics? Oil production, COVID-19, inviting Russia to join the G7 meeting in September... Trump didn’t even mention bounty killing? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Trump and his team are in panic mode. Trump suggests the report is a hoax. White House staff doesn’t deny the existence of the intelligence, but says Trump was never briefed on it. But the Administration reportedly did tell the British—so that British troops could be protected! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Now we’re hearing reports that Russia was paying bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill Americans. And the White House reportedly knew, holding meetings about the explosive charge in March of this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

30 American servicemembers—including Virginians—were killed in Afghanistan in 2019 and 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Thinly veiled attempts to ban abortion demonstrate a contempt for women—and their ability and right to make their own health care choices. I'm glad that the Court is continuing to uphold women's basic freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

No comment necessary. https://t.co/j7wH3XP9lP — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Congress has abdicated its authority, allowing the Trump Administration to run roughshod—from taking money from the defense budget to build a wall to dropping the case against Flynn. It’s time to reclaim some balance of power between the branches of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

President Trump was cozying up to Putin and inviting him to the G7 all while his Administration reportedly knew Russia was trying to kill U.S troops in Afghanistan and derail peace talks with the Taliban. https://t.co/C2GYSFFKXv — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Finally, a court says what Republicans have been unwilling to say. A President should not be able to rummage through the Pentagon budget to fund his pet project. https://t.co/nTtLOjYfBr — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The President is trying to rip health care away from millions of people. During a pandemic. Again. https://t.co/VydiFfy1lh — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Obviously Virginia’s neighbors in D.C. deserve representation just like every other American. We should recognize D.C. as a state and grant hundreds of thousands of taxpaying Americans this fundamental right. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I respectfully urge my colleagues to take a closer look at this and help get critical financial support to our schools and our students during an unprecedented public health crisis that's taking a huge toll on our economy. This is a no brainer. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

But when I tried to get a bill on the floor to do just that, it was met with Republican opposition and didn't even get a vote. The bill I drafted doesn't cost a single penny—all it does is ask that Sec. DeVos follow Congress's bipartisan intent for relief funds to students. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The CARES Act included $13.9 billion for students and higher education—but Secretary DeVos's Department of Education is not following Congress's intent for those funds and is even making them more difficult to access. We must expand financial aid during this crisis, not limit it. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This is absurd. Ending federal funding for testing—while new cases are increasing across the country—is the last thing we should do. It will leave us in the dark and make this virus much harder to contain. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Universal background checks are one of the most widely supported commonsense measures to prevent tragic and unnecessary deaths. Not only should the Virginia law be upheld, but Congress should follow the General Assembly's lead and make this a federal law. https://t.co/zjpuhOmAeY — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The GOP policing bill has: - No ban on chokeholds - No ban on no-knock warrants - No ban on racial profiling - No revision to qualified immunity Instead of a forced partisan floor vote, let the Judiciary Committee hear proposals and produce a bipartisan bill—we need real action. — PolitiTweet.org
