Any President should recognize that this is a national emergency and demand Congress take action. But this President covers for the NRA and stokes hatred of immigrants and minorities. Why is he blind to the carnage? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We’re still reeling from the shooting in Texas, and now we also pray for the those in Ohio who are grieving immense losses. We must take action. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Dayton. El Paso. Mass shootings are a regular event in America. And so many are driven by a toxic mix of hatred and easy gun access. We must pass reasonable laws to limit access to military grade weapons and high capacity magazines—and fight the hate that leads us here. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I’m praying for the city of El Paso and every person impacted by today’s shooting. And I’m demanding that we vote on gun safety legislation. We don’t have to live like this. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1987, I said “murder is wrong in the gulag, in Afghanistan, in Soweto, in the mountains of Guatemala, in Fairfax County...and in Spring Street Penitentiary.” It’s also wrong in Penitentiary Terre Haute, where DOJ has scheduled 5 executions. https://t.co/CwziOOU8CU — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve so hoped to use the phrase Madame President in everyday conversation. Now I get to. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing says “We’re open to diplomacy” like sanctioning another country’s chief diplomat... The Trump Amateur Hour would be comical if it weren’t raising the risk of a completely unnecessary war. https://t.co/KhDd2udecf — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The House has passed bills to address the gun violence that plagues our communities. They’re sitting untouched in the Senate because Majority Leader McConnell won't let us vote on them. Call his office and ask for action: (202) 224-2541 We can't just stand by. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This is just the latest evidence in a continuous and alarming pattern of corruption. Every new piece of information I’ve seen shows me that Trump and his administration are NOT putting American interests first. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The work @AHouseElPaso is doing is nothing short of miraculous. They've helped 150,000 people in need over the past 10 months. And they're funded solely by private donations. If you're able, I hope you'll support their critical work: https://t.co/tMbEF1iUqR — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

At Casa Del Refugiado, a shelter run by @AHouseElPaso for migrant and refugee families, I saw murals painted by local artists that say 'Esperanza' and 'Familia.' Hope and family - those ideas are exactly why people are putting their lives on the line to come to America. https://t.co/stOOckBWHS — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We ought to be using a definition of family that includes those people — because if you define family the way I do, then family separation is still going on, all the time, on a massive scale. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Another problem we heard about today: The narrow definition of family that’s used at the border is only parents and children or provable legal guardians. But to me, family is brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The idea that we would send people back to dangerous places to wait for asylum claims is just another example of the Trump administration’s policy of intentional cruelty. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I asked a father earlier today what he wanted for his future. He broke down in tears after he told me he just didn’t want to go back to his home country, Guatemala, because of violence that made him fear for the life of his 7-year-old daughter, who he had with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

They told me that their communities at home were filled with drugs and violence, and they feared for their children's lives. So they've traveled far distances in search of a safer future for their kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Today at the El Paso border station, I spoke with 4 families - 3 dads and 1 mom, each with children - and I heard about why they would take their children on a dangerous journey over thousands of miles, to an uncertain future. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I'm about to tour the El Paso Border Station and the Clint Border Station. My goal is to talk directly with migrant families about how they've been treated and see the conditions firsthand. I'm going to do my best to share exactly what I find with all of you. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I’m visiting this border station in Clint, Texas tomorrow with @maziehirono, and we will be demanding answers about these unspeakable allegations. https://t.co/TPpdlnCy8B — PolitiTweet.org

What. Do. They. Have. On. Him??? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

My take on today's hearings: Grave misconduct by President Trump was detailed in Mueller's report. Now it's been detailed under oath before Congress. It cannot be swept under the rug. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Noted. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

"He also insists — contrary to most evidence — that the Chinese are paying the import taxes." Translation: the President is lying to you about where the burden of his trade war is really falling - on American businesses and families. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

After the tragic 9/11 attacks, Congress established programs to support heroic first responders and other survivors. Now those programs are running out of money. Today I'll vote to extend support—and I hope every single Senator does the same. It's just the right thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Mueller's report confirmed that Russia "interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion." Election integrity is one of the most critical issues facing our country. We must vote on legislation that will #ProtectOurElections. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

It’s been 50 years since the world first saw that giant leap forward — I remember my brothers and I gathering around our black and white TV to watch, knowing that it was a truly historic moment. Thankful for the men and women at @NASA inspiring us, then and now! #Apollo50th https://t.co/hEBIkrRGPI — PolitiTweet.org

$7.25 an hour is not a livable wage, period. No American working a full-time job should be living in poverty, but millions are. Let’s bring this bill to the Senate floor and I will proudly vote YES on a $15 minimum wage! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate were clear: DON'T sell weapons to Saudi Arabia—weapons that in all likelihood will be used against innocent civilians in Yemen. Trump‘s disregard for the American people's elected representatives on this issue is shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I just sent a letter calling on the FBI to open an investigation into the Saudi government’s brutal murder of Virginia resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Despite credible evidence of high-level Saudi involvement, the Trump administration inexplicably refuses to act. https://t.co/UmaKALL0xc — PolitiTweet.org
