I was proud to attend the Commonwealth’s Veterans Day Ceremony at the Virginia War Memorial as I have so many times before. I’ll continue working to ensure veterans and their families receive the care and benefits they deserve as we honor every American who has worn our nation’s uniform.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Happy 251st birthday to the @USMC! As the father of a Marine, I’ve seen firsthand the courage, drive, and sacrifice they bring to our nation. I am proud to work with my colleagues on the Seapower Subcommittee to ensure Marines and their families have the resources they need to keep our nation safe.

Dulles connects Virginia to the world and drives our Commonwealth’s economy. I’m proud the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped pass supported the construction of IAD’s new concourse, which will make travel easier and more comfortable.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

I visited the Sgt. Merlin German Wounded Warrior Call Center in Stafford to talk with the center’s leaders and staff about the critical 24/7 assistance they provide. We’ll keep working together to support Virginia’s veterans.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in Virginia and around the world! May the festival of lights bring you and your loved ones peace and joy.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

So the plan is another year of war, higher gas prices, and hoping Iran “comes to the table”? That’s not a strategy, that’s a wish.

Congratulations to the 2026 U.S. Presidential. Scholars, including Virginians Yalini Kathamuthu of Herndon and Nived Nandakumar of Chantilly. Years ago, I urged President Obama to open this honor to students excelling in Career and Technical Education, and I’m thrilled to see 15 outstanding CTE scholars from across the country recognized this year.

I’ve seen Virginia’s first responders at their best in our worst moments: floods, fires, emergencies. On National First Responders Day and always, I’m grateful for their courage and committed to making sure they have the equipment, training, and mental health support they need.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Trump’s tariffs are fueling inflation, and inflation is crushing Virginia families. People are paying more for groceries, cars, and everyday goods because of a choice this Administration made. It can be undone. Congress should do its job.

It’s been eight years since 11 worshippers at Tree of Life Synagogue were murdered in the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. May their memories be a blessing and a call to action against hate and gun violence.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Now is the time to announce the path to free elections. I endorse Senator Bernie Moreno’s call for a Presidential election by July 24, 2027, the birthday of Liberator Simón Bolívar. Liberate Venezuela from dictatorship. Liberate Venezuela from foreign domination. Venezuela for Venezuelans!

After more than 10 months in exile, Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel laureate María Corina Machado has returned home.

"I am here. With you," Machado announced on X Sunday morning shortly before other members of the opposition confirmed her arrival without providing details. https://t.co/vKUcy5uiRo

Northern Virginia’s water supply depends on the work happening every day at the Upper Occoquan Service Authority. Thank you to the UOSA team in Centreville for the tour, where the $1M+ in federal funding I secured will modernize its septic waste facility.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

I was in Leesburg with @RepSuhas @gcmarshall_org to tour the home of General George C. Marshall, who was the Army’s Chief of Staff during WWII and earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his work as Secretary of State. Our bill to designate his home as a National Park Service affiliated area is now law to help future generations learn about his critical role in our history.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Excellent news! The U.S. must continue to press the Venezuelan regime to ensure her safety and take concrete steps toward free and fair elections in Venezuela as soon as possible. Venezuelans have the right to decide their country’s future.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace laureate, has returned to Venezuela after more than 10 months in exile, the Venezuelan opposition movement said. https://t.co/CAXi6YUAcc

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

In Leesburg, I toured the new Loudoun Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Center, built with $4.1M in federal funding I helped secure critical care in reach for those in crisis. I appreciate Loudoun Chair Phyllis Randall’s partnership in making behavioral health resources a priority.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

What better way to celebrate international air traffic controllers day than joining the groundbreaking for the Washington Manassas Regional Airport’s new control tower, built with $26 million I helped secure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law!

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault deserve safety and support. In Dumfries, I toured @ACTSPWC to see how the $1.78 million in federal funding I secured will help provide temporary housing and other critical services to help promote healing.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Trump’s vanity projects — a gold ballroom, a $100M “Triumphal Arch,” gold-plated horse statues, a $50M golf course — are set to cost taxpayers $1.8+ billion.

Here’s what that money could have been spent on:

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Trump promised to lower prices on day one. Instead, Virginians have paid $3,900+ more for goods and services because of his tariffs and other bad economic policies, and Americans across the country have paid $101 billion more for gas since he launched his illegal war with Iran.
