HUGE BREAKING news! @POTUS just signed my bill into law allowing victims of joint consolidation loans to sever. I’m so relieved for the thousands of borrowers that will be impacted by this law — including victims of domestic and financial abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

It bears repeating – this has been a HISTORIC year of legislative progress. We have gotten things done on gun safety, bringing manufacturing back to America, expanding benefits for vets, creating jobs, protecting the environment, reforming USPS, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

I still firmly stand with Ukraine and with the fight of democracy over autocracy everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech has tremendous power over our lives. From raising flags about TikTok’s sharing of data, to pushing Google to improve abortion-related search results, to attempting to reign in manipulative design, I’m working hard to make sure consumers are protected online. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s unacceptable that my daughters’ generation has less right to reproductive health care than mine did. We’re going to keep pushing ahead on expanding access to health care for women. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

After years of work, the advocacy of countless borrowers, a great bipartisan coalition, and some great press coverage, we’re so close to finally getting justice for impacted borrowers. I am looking forward to @POTUS signing this into law and securing relief ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We’re right on the cusp of getting this done, so I called several folks – including Sara, the original constituent who brought this to my attention – to hear about what this means to them. https://t.co/78jVKRl37F — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Others, including @brokenimageheap, @sequoiastweets, and @DaniDougPost have also done incredible coverage of this story and told the stories of many, many borrowers. https://t.co/W9F37zmD0X — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Several incredible journalists have been following this story for years – including @WUSA9, which worked to bring this to my attention originally. https://t.co/xo3LRGQKJM — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

So for years I worked on getting a law passed to help her and thousands of other borrowers out. This year, it passed the Senate unanimously and the House on a bipartisan basis. It just awaits the President’s signature. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I told the story of Sara and of several other impacted borrowers on the Senate floor a few weeks ago – you can watch that here. https://t.co/MpdrquiPz0 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

After this issue came to light, we found out that thousands of other borrowers were trapped in these same consolidated spousal loans. Some were trapped in domestic or financial abuse. Other remained married but were completely left out of loan relief programs like PSLF. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Several years ago, a Virginian named Sara contacted me because she was stuck in a consolidated student loan. Even though she had taken out no loans, she was responsible for her ex-spouse's because he refused to pay. Her credit suffered and there was no way to sever. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Constituents that speak up and the intrepid local journalists that report on them MATTER. Here’s a story about how we’re changing lives for thousands of borrowers because of one woman’s advocacy: — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Unlike some others, I’ll never claim credit for the effects of laws I voted against. I’m glad to have voted for the American Rescue Plan, the omnibus spending bill, CHIPS, and the infrastructure law that are making big things happen for Virginia! https://t.co/Ru2Km0qoH3 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The evidence is clear: natural disasters are occurring more often and are more severe because the climate crisis is already here. I’ve proudly voted for laws to fund resiliency efforts and address the root causes of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Victims of consolidated spousal loans have waited decades for a simple fix – often while being trapped in abuse or denied benefits. I look forward to @POTUS signing my bill to allow these borrowers to sever their loans ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We’re starting to see major domestic investments in semiconductor manufacturing because we broke through gridlock and got CHIPS passed. I’m fighting for Virginia to get its fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

And the hits just keep coming! Another $3 million for Virginia, courtesy of the bipartisan infrastructure law, to help expand the Richmond Marine Terminal – growing capacity while easing the supply chain! — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

This is solid progress – but after visiting with victims of this summer’s flooding, I know they deserve every resource available. I’ll keep pushing for individualized assistance. https://t.co/y8t4xPRjwh — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Hampton Roads has one of the fastest-growing veterans populations in the nation – glad to fight for this facility so vets can have access to the care they deserve with reduced wait times. https://t.co/veHNC9uMLj — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Glad to secure a $35/month insulin cap for those on Medicare. But we must also work to prevent diabetes and make sure those with the disease have the other resources they need to manage it — glad to see suggestions that mirror my Prevent Diabetes Act. https://t.co/XYXXNTvuP3 — PolitiTweet.org

Unmanned aerial systems have huge potential to create high-paying jobs, decrease errands and traffic, and boost our economy. Glad to meet with folks at DroneUp today to hear about their work and do a test flight! https://t.co/4a3rVfDOtw — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Spent my afternoon with local leaders and law enforcement discussing our Ashanti Alert program and local crime prevention. The safety of Virginians is my top priority, so I was glad to hear directly from folks in Portsmouth about how we can continue to leverage federal resources. https://t.co/eCFOeGNV74 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

A great morning breaking ground on a new clinic that will serve 70% of Hampton Roads’ veterans, including with mental health and vision services. Proud to get this funded, and ready to continue securing more resources for one of the fastest-growing vet populations in the nation! https://t.co/k3FgweulKA — PolitiTweet.org

We secured $53 million to turbocharge RX manufacturing in Richmond & Petersburg. Spent the afternoon in Richmond discussing what this means for: 💼 Creating jobs 📉Lowering costs 🇺🇸Strengthening national security & lowering our dependence on foreign nations https://t.co/vKmWjTMJKg — PolitiTweet.org

Thinking of all impacted in the Hurley community — this is a very scary situation but I’m thankful to all first responders and school officials for limiting harm.   https://t.co/9UmykxVwiD — PolitiTweet.org
