"Lawmakers’ map-making powers would be temporary. After the 2030 Census, the commission would resume responsibility for drawing congressional maps. The measure would not affect state legislative districts."

Good explainer.

Vote in the referendum on April 21.

I don't have an account to read the article in the original post, but am sharing this thread with screenshots and other reference links, because this topic has implications for the many folks who work in poultry processing in our area.

The Ukrainian people have shown incredible resilience in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s heinous invasion. I’m disgusted by the Trump Administration’s refusal to hold Putin accountable. (1/2)

The United States is safest when we stand with the free peoples of the world against those who would oppress them. As a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, I will continue to do all I can to support Ukraine and stand against totalitarian regimes. (2/2)

My statement on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine:

Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies.

Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy.

We’re a better country than this.

NEW INFO / CORRECTION!

Due to newly-passed legislation, the Primary elections in Virginia will now occur on August 4!

High-stakes SOTU: Kaine invites Harrisonburg dentist to address A Harrisonburg dentist will join U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., at tonight’s State of the Union address by President Donald Trump at 9 p.m.

"High-stakes SOTU: Kaine invites Harrisonburg dentist to presidential address"

Trump is bumbling his way toward war with Iran in a feeble attempt to accomplish what had already been done by a diplomatic deal that was effectively curbing Iran’s nuclear program—until Trump tore it up, over the objections of his then-Secretaries of Defense and State. Virginia families have already suffered enough because of wrongheaded forever wars in the Middle East. Virginians don’t want a President ordering our troops to take action—against foreign countries or against American cities—without congressional debate and vote. (1/2)

I have filed a bipartisan resolution to block this war against Iran unless Congress votes to approve it. If some of my colleagues support war, then they should have the guts to vote for the war, and to be held accountable by their constituents, rather than hiding under their desks. The President is dragging us further and further into overseas quagmires while everyday Americans are weighed down by rising costs, disappearing jobs, and sputtering growth. (2/2)

My statement on Trump’s threat of illegal war with Iran:

"Voters who mail their registration forms near the deadline could risk being left off the rolls unless they request a manual postmark at the retail counter of a post office"

Even more challenging when USPS retail hours are so short! Make sure your friends know to mail registrations & ballots early.
