🎵 I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me, a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me! Happy #NationalParkWeek. Let’s get out from behind our screens and enjoy this beautiful land we call home! https://t.co/FK3H9GJcA5 — PolitiTweet.org

What a joyous weekend for so many of us celebrating holidays across Virginia and around the world! I wish everyone who is celebrating tonight a happy Passover. Chag Sameach! — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Mueller *must* testify to Congress so the American public can hear an honest and unbiased account of the findings of his investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Terry has been a great friend and a strong leader for Virginia over the years. And as we all know, he’s a whole lot of fun. I’ll be glad to have him by my side hitting the trail for VA Dems this year! Terry, just one request: Leave the Hawaiian shirt at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Notre Dame has been a center of faith, beauty, and history for more than 800 years. To watch a place beloved by so many around the world burn is tragic. I'm sending prayers to all Parisians, and indeed the global community, as we mourn this loss and begin to rebuild. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Politicizing footage of a terrorist attack against the US in which thousands lost their lives is beyond disgraceful. It’s an insult to everyone who lost a loved one on 9/11, and it’s another attempt to sow hatred against the Muslim community. The President should be ashamed. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

And that’s exactly what we did —> Today we introduced legislation to require Congressional review of nuclear information transfers — there should NOT be secret deals that send nuclear know-how to countries that potentially aspire to develop nuclear bombs! — PolitiTweet.org

Who would have believed this? Instead of the US joining with Europe to pressure China on trade, President Trump’s actions are pushing Europe and China together. https://t.co/zmrKvGpfci — PolitiTweet.org

I also introduced the Child Welfare Workforce Support Act. The physical and emotional challenges inherent in child welfare work (not to mention relatively low compensation) make these careers difficult to sustain—we can and should work to better support these workers! — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

LGBTQ youth are nearly 4 times more likely to experience childhood sexual abuse than their heterosexual peers. That’s unacceptable. Today @SenatorBaldwin & I introduced the Protecting LGBTQ Youth Act—we must do more to both prevent abuse and help those recovering from trauma. — PolitiTweet.org

And my final question: Who in the US is benefiting from all this? I’m going to keep pushing until we get answers to these questions. 13/13 — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

All of this leads me to ask: Why should we help Saudi Arabia in a disastrous war in Yemen? Why do we turn a blind eye to Saudi human rights abuses? Why would we transfer nuclear know-how and plot for a deal with Saudi Arabia, possibly sparking an arms race in the Middle East? 12/ — PolitiTweet.org

And additional reporting connects disgraced National Security Advisor Michael Flynn—convicted for lying about his ties and communications with foreign governments—to the push for a Saudi nuclear deal. 11/ https://t.co/FQsl9ZiGKa — PolitiTweet.org

Remember, Jared Kushner was initially denied a security clearance in the White House due to concerns about foreign influence and personal financial conflicts. 10/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

And beyond just the timing—who is getting these secret approvals? One major nuclear firm, Westinghouse, is owned by the same investors who bailed Jared Kushner out of a bad real estate deal. 9/ https://t.co/K0eZL1PZ5B — PolitiTweet.org

In a hearing last week, I specifically asked Secretary Perry whether the secret approvals of nuclear information transfer occurred before or after the October 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He claimed not to know. 8/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

We know that Saudi Arabia is intent on building a nuclear program—but they haven’t agreed to the non-proliferation rules that would prevent the development of nuclear weapons. So it's only logical that Congress wants to know more about these approvals. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Then last week, we learned that the Trump administration has approved *secret transfers of nuclear technical information* from American companies to Saudi Arabia on 7 occasions. These transfers have been public in the past. Why are they secret now? When did they happen? 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

You would think the US would be up in arms about these horrors. But the Trump administration won’t stand up to Saudi Arabia. The President refuses to even submit a report determining whether or not Khashoggi's murder was a human rights violation. 5/ https://t.co/16p4JTjUHZ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

In addition to the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi Arabia has been arresting civil rights activists—including Virginia residents Salah al-Haider and his mother Aziza al-Youssef—simply for advocating for women’s rights! 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Virginia resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi criticized Saudi policy in Yemen. For his advocacy against the war, the government of Saudi Arabia lured him into their consulate in Istanbul and then tortured and assassinated him, dismembering his body with a bone saw. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The Yemen Civil War has been a humanitarian disaster, and Saudi intervention has made it worse. The US should NOT be involved. 2/ https://t.co/ziFw93lsGY — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

This week, the House passed a Senate resolution ordering the President to stop US military support for Saudi Arabia’s intervention in Yemen’s Civil War. The bill now goes to the WH where Trump is likely to veto—then Congress would need to vote to override. So what’s at stake? 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
