My Vow to Stop Unnecessary War
YouTube video by Senator Kaine My Vow to Stop Unnecessary War

Last week, I spoke on the floor about how, after seeing the heartbreak and sacrifice of VA military families during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I vowed that I’d do all I could to stop an unnecessary war if I ever had the chance. That time is now. youtube.com/shorts/1OVKj...

Last week the Justice Department sued 5 more states demanding access to their unredacted voter rollsβ€”escalating a campaign that has been rejected by multiple federal courts and faces bipartisan resistance. The total number of jurisdictions sued has now risen to 30. @lwvus.bsky.social

We CAN afford good healthcare, schools, food, research, etc.

MAGA Rob Wittman simply CHOOSES to spend it on concentration camps, wars of choice, and, of course, tax cuts πŸ€‘

VOTE HIM OUT

Instead of solving the things that plague #VA01 - healthcare costs, inflation, unnecessary war, tariffs, ICE overreach, and on and on - Wittman is eagerly supporting voter ID laws that will solve NOTHING and create ever more chaos.

An excellent @pilotonline.com letter. Bravo! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Getting to yes in housing is important for young professionals, for families, for working people, for our business environment, and for quality of life.

The cost to inaction is that people have to leave Virginia to prosper. We should not want that.

In honor of the women who have shaped Virginia and the U.S., Happy Women’s History Month!

Let’s take time this month to recognize the accomplishments of women in America and here in Virginia, where we’ve just elected a woman to serve as Governor for the first time in our history.

Trump Says War Could Last Weeks and Offers Contradictory Visions of New Regime

"Well, we intended four or five weeks."

Translation: he has no clue how long this war goes or how it ends.

We warned that Wittman's HR1 vote and refusal to support the ACA would impact Virginians, and now we know 44,000 have lost healthcare - and it might rise to 100,000! Now Virginia's state gov has to step in before more of us suffer because of Wittman's inability to represent us. #FlipVA01.
