There's no discount for raising kids as a single parent, trust me. Yet, it's harder for kids from single parent homes to get help through the Child Tax Credit. I broke down this #SingleParentPenalty in March, and last week, I introduced a bill to strike it from the tax code. https://t.co/JPoNskcFCl — PolitiTweet.org

As a longtime consumer advocate, I know that bad actors will often try to take advantage of older Americans. This SATURDAY, I'm hosting a town hall on common scams against older Americans and how seniors can protect themselves. Leave your questions ⤵️ https://t.co/2pB3EeGCUX — PolitiTweet.org

The Child Tax Credit is supposed to help kids. No child should get less nutritious food or less secure housing because their parent isn't married. As I told @Lawrence back in February, I'm going to keep fighting for the removal of the #SingleParentPenalty. https://t.co/JplH73dKM9 — PolitiTweet.org

Families headed by single parents are less likely to get help from the #ChildTaxCredit—even though there's no discount for being a single parent. I wrote about why we need to strike the #SingleParentPenalty (and my bill with @RepPressley and @RepDonBeyer to do just that!) 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Melody applied for a U-visa in 2016, but she rarely got updates. Things got dire when her dad had a stroke and she had to solely support her family—despite being legally unable to work. I'm proud our office was able to help get her application through. I called to say congrats 👇 https://t.co/iwOYgyPjW9 — PolitiTweet.org

By investing in our kids, we make our country stronger for decades to come. I'm proud to share that 2/3 of children in our district will benefit from the expanded #ChildTaxCredit, but I'm overjoyed to announce that it will lift ~7,400 kids in our community out of poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

We've been charging polluters the same rate to extract from public lands for decades, which causes taxpayers to lose out on billions of potential revenue a year. I'm proud my bill to raise fees cleared committee, so it's one step closer to becoming law. https://t.co/iti4RG3yrR — PolitiTweet.org

Corporations that avoid taxes cheat families out of $1 trillion dollars a year. That money should be going towards growing our economy, not lining the pockets of wealthy CEOs. I'm fighting to fully fund the IRS so it can go after corporations that aren't paying their fair share. https://t.co/brajyiTA28 — PolitiTweet.org

To all moms stretched thin by the pandemic: I see you. As a single mom, there are days I’m not sure how to juggle it all. Politicians should focus on helping working parents, not just expect families to figure it out. More ⬇️ with @MsMagazine. #MothersDay https://t.co/ldSSmpKOQI — PolitiTweet.org

I've spent my career studying families in bankruptcy. I wrote a textbook on it. So, I was surprised when my colleague said that raising fees on polluters mining on public lands would bankrupt Americans. Charging polluters a fair price doesn't hurt families; it protects taxpayers. https://t.co/oph6OQB37N — PolitiTweet.org

Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are supposed to swiftly retrieve organs from donors. Yet, they're often havens for waste and abuse, in part because they can manipulate data to escape accountability, while vacationing on private jets—literally.
