I believe that those entities should include al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Tim Kaine
The Public Record
Tim Kaine is a United States Senator from Virginia, serving since January 3, 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the position of Governor of Virginia from January 14, 2006, to January 16, 2010. Kaine has been an advocate for various issues including education, healthcare, and military engagement, emphasizing the importance of Congress's role in declaring war and authorizing military force. He also served as the Chair of the Democratic National Committee, contributing to the party's strategy and outreach efforts during his tenure.
I do think, as Senator Kaine was saying, it creates an incentive structure that drives Congress to take on its role in the conversation.
I rise to speak about the ongoing debate in the body concerning the next chapter in healthcare and what we can do about it together and, especially, to address one part of the healthcare market--the individual market. As most know--and…
I applaud the bipartisan work that my Senate colleagues have put into legislation to impose sanctions on Russia. Russia's interference in the 2016 election represents an assault on our democracy that, until this point, has gone largely…
We cannot begin that conversation until Republicans reverse course and stop trying to take our healthcare system backward.
we, as a country, need to raise above the political fear about it and do something about cyber and information attacks against the democracy.
I think we will write our own budget, but I do think it has a chilling impact in the State Department.
I cannot tell you how devastating the President's decision to walk away from the Paris Accords was not only to our allies abroad but also to many Americans.
I am deeply concerned with the direction that President Trump appears to intend on taking our country and the world with it.
It works by convincing a potential adversary that it will suffer unacceptable costs if it conducts an attack on the United States.
an attack is an attack, and the integrity of the system is something we should protect one way or other.
I was amazed how much of it was known by folks with the administration and how little was done.
I really appreciated that aspect of Dr. Ravich's testimony because it kind of challenged my own thinking.
we still have not responded to the Russians in a way that the rest of the world sees that you cannot get away with doing this to the United States.
We should always look for ways to get more safe, effective treatments to patients as quickly as possible.
Democrats are ready, like we always have been, to work together on continuing to fix our healthcare system.
This is not a healthcare bill. It is an attack on families, and health, and financial security.
I would hope that we would have hearings on the healthcare proposal just like we are having hearings on this issue.
Today's astronomically high prescription drug prices are an unsustainable burden on our healthcare system.
In my judgment it is repeal and decimate when it comes to children who get their good healthcare through Medicaid.
Millions of Americans do not get the medication they need because of prices.
today, I am introducing the Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2017, legislation to ensure equal housing opportunities for all Americans. This bill would protect Americans from housing discrimination based on gender identity and sexual…
So even though Russia is an adversary in many ways, the defeat of ISIS is an important goal.
