Each day of this pandemic, family caregivers go above and beyond to help their loved ones. This National Family Caregivers Month, take a moment to recognize these heroes for all their hard work and dedication. For treating the families they work for as their own. https://t.co/TKYx7TsYgp — PolitiTweet.org

Let's say it together: Birth control is basic healthcare. It helps put women in charge of their bodies, their careers and their lives. #ThxBirthControl — PolitiTweet.org

Working mothers—especially low-income and women of color—will endure long-term repercussions from this crisis if we don't pass childcare, paid family leave and COVID relief. Our nation needs to start treating working moms like the superheroes they are. https://t.co/7pOLH2MxQR — PolitiTweet.org

Now more than ever, Congress needs to pass a comprehensive COVID relief bill that provides robust funding for our nation’s public schools and higher education institutions, so these selfless educators are not left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

He changed my life. And small acts of kindness like that are happening every single day during this pandemic. By tutors, teachers and school staff teaching kids at home. By those risking their health on the front lines without a COVID-19 vaccine teaching kids in person. — PolitiTweet.org

“Aw kids, I’m so sorry I kept you working here so late. Here’s $10, go to Taco Bell, it’s 2 for 99 cents—get something to eat before you go home.” As teenagers, we didn't see it then. But I do now. With his teacher's salary, he was feeding the poorest of us & helping us get by. — PolitiTweet.org

When I was in high school, my family relied on food stamps. But sometimes, those food stamps wouldn't last through the week. Luckily for me, sometimes my English teacher would keep a bunch of us after school—and after a while he’d reach into his own pockets and say: — PolitiTweet.org

I wouldn't be where I am today without my teachers. This #AmericanEducationWeek and throughout COVID-19, I see that same selfless kindness in our educators, social workers, support staff and parents who are working overtime to help students navigate online learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Let's be clear—we all want our troops to be brought home safely. But we cannot sacrifice our long-term national security interests or regional stability for a reckless, chaotic drawdown aimed more at meeting Donald Trump’s desired timeline than keeping Americans safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Any decision to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan must be carefully planned and safely executed—but Trump and his newly-installed, unconfirmed lackeys at the Pentagon are undercutting our allies, potentially dooming the peace process and putting our troops at greater risk. https://t.co/jxHONSW6eS — PolitiTweet.org

It's time our Armed Services respect Black servicemembers and all Black Americans by renaming the bases named after those who took up arms against the United States to keep their ancestors in chains. Any efforts by Republicans to stop this are disgraceful. #BlackLivesMatter — PolitiTweet.org

Historically, our enemies have tested us within the first year of a new administration. And by forcing the Pentagon into his latest culture war, Donald Trump is only endangering our national security that much more. Tune into my @SenateDems announcement at 2:45 PM ET. — PolitiTweet.org

When my Republican colleagues refuse to wear a mask in the Capitol, they’re putting all of us and our loved ones at risk. Please, just wear a mask. https://t.co/N1oYMAfsT2 — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 is real. It doesn't care about red states or blue states, and spreading disinformation does nothing to stop the spread. Please wear a mask. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing my dear friend and colleague, Rep. Bustos, a full and swift recovery. As this pandemic worsens, it's more important than ever that we continue to follow the science and work together to bring an end to this pandemic. Thank you for this thread, @RepCheri. Get well soon. — PolitiTweet.org

It is a human right to breath safe and clean air, regardless of where someone lives.   Sauget residents need answers about their contaminated soil and dirty air due to weakened pollution controls from the nearby Veolia Waste incineration facilities. https://t.co/JQWazIms0C — PolitiTweet.org

Diabetes is a pre-existing condition—one of the many that is at risk right now because the GOP has packed the court with judges they hope will overturn the ACA. This National Diabetes Month, let us recommit to protecting the ACA and expanding healthcare for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump is hollowing out the Pentagon and refusing to accept he lost the election—and yet some Republicans are saying, “Oh, what’s the harm in letting him pout for a couple of weeks?” They don't seem to understand the real risks his behavior poses to our national security. https://t.co/XDccKcafQU — PolitiTweet.org

The one consolation is the professionalism and dedication to their oath of the Armed Services. Our troops will never let us down, but they deserve better from their Commander in Chief. — PolitiTweet.org
