I owe more than I can say to the thousand activists who came together 30 years ago—the dozens who got out of their wheelchairs & crawled up the 83 steps of the Capitol—to demand that Congress give Americans with disabilities the basic rights our Constitution promised. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to see these patriotic Veterans, even after taking off their uniforms, continuing to uphold their oath to protect and defend the Constitution and the most quintessentially American right: speaking truth to power and speaking out against injustice. — PolitiTweet.org

If Donald Trump doesn't care to read over his briefings regarding potential bounties on the heads of our troops, my colleagues and I will—just send us the materials. 29 days of presidential inaction is 29 days too long. Our troops deserve better. https://t.co/KKZ7i23AUT — PolitiTweet.org

Like so many, I'm scared that I'm my kid's sole source of education right now. I'm a pilot & Senator—not an educator. But if schools open, it MUST be done safely. And this #COVID19 relief bill must include #PaidLeave & #ChildCare to give families the support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only did the GOP waste a week with infighting & bickering—they've wasted MONTHS since the House passed the #HEROESAct to help Americans struggling to get by as the #COVID19 crisis worsens. Democrats have been ready to act. @senatemajldr, let us vote. — PolitiTweet.org

After the murder of #GeorgeFloyd, countless Americans have used their First Amendment rights to call out for racial justice. What happened in Portland to stifle these rights has no place anywhere in America. My colleagues & I are demanding answers from @DHSgov, @CBP & @ICEgov⬇️ https://t.co/HNcir7A6t7 — PolitiTweet.org

This story makes me sick. When Navy Veteran Christopher David asked these unidentified federal agents in Portland why they weren't honoring their oath to the Constitution, they beat him—spraying him w/ tear gas & breaking his hand. We’re better than this. https://t.co/2aGAvyOYFH — PolitiTweet.org

While Americans everywhere cry out for racial justice, @SBAgov should do all it can to help address the gender & racial inequalities within the business community.

Remember how quickly Donald Trump spoke out & defended military bases named after Confederate traitors who took up arms against the Union? It's been 27 days and he still hasn't done anything publicly about Putin reportedly putting bounties on the heads of our troops. — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis nearly laid down his life on the Edmund Pettus bridge for voting rights. To honor this hero's legacy, I helped introduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act today, which would combat voter suppression. @senatemajldr, bring it to the floor immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

It's shameful that our nation's Black maternal mortality rate is so high. This #BumpDay is a great day for the Senate to vote on the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act. All moms-to-be deserve to have healthy pregnancies, safe births & access to perinatal support. — PolitiTweet.org

The world is better when women are among those in command. 21 years ago, Col. Eileen Marie Collins became the first female commander of a space shuttle. She logged over 872 hours in space—work that has inspired & paved the way for countless women to climb the ranks at @NASA. https://t.co/JfIxjtBVjN — PolitiTweet.org

If Donald Trump wants to do something about gun violence, he should call up Mitch McConnell and tell him to have a vote *today* on universal background checks. But bringing in federal agents to police Chicago streets like he did in Portland? Don’t even think about it. https://t.co/yeO28dwSiD — PolitiTweet.org
