The Postal Service is just that—a service. It’s supposed to connect our communities. We should be prioritizing solutions that help USPS deliver, but Postmaster DeJoy seems more interested in slashing a system families depend on. https://t.co/yW94nfsGJz — PolitiTweet.org

My heart breaks for the lives taken in Colorado. @POTUS is right—it’s past time to stand up to the gun lobby and mandate universal background checks. ~80% of guns used in crimes are obtained without background checks. The House has acted. No more complacency. — PolitiTweet.org

Fraudulent organizations rake in millions each year—particularly from seniors and veterans—by posing as charities, which enables them to exploit loopholes in our election laws. Last year, I wrote a bipartisan bill to crack down on scam PACs. Read more 👇 https://t.co/rsW7Z6WW45 — PolitiTweet.org

State and local governments provide critical services—especially during a pandemic. On Wednesday, I’m teaming up with @SenDaveMin and @LetitiaCClark for a virtual town hall on how we’re working in lockstep to help Orange County recover from the pandemic.

Over 3/4 instances of domestic violence involve economic abuse. Some abusers use debt to exercise control; others cut off access to cash. This week, the House renewed the Violence Against Women Act—which now includes my measure to better protect survivors of economic abuse. #VAWA https://t.co/ojm8rP5kEV — PolitiTweet.org

Congress provided disaster relief payments to help families struggling to get by during this economic and health crisis, not to pad debt collectors' pockets. No American should have their survival checks confiscated during a pandemic. https://t.co/hRlu75juNZ — PolitiTweet.org

When we pay taxes, we rightly expect our government to spend our money wisely and efficiently. There's a reason Americans view Congressional earmarks with deep skepticism. I oppose the return of earmarks and won't participate in this process. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/eKkhCiEiI0 — PolitiTweet.org

No one should fear violence because of who they are or where they’re from. Hate crimes against Asian Americans have risen during the pandemic, and they’re up 1,200% in Orange County. This weekend, I joined a rally to speak out against these heinous crimes. https://t.co/x5LDvOyFXN — PolitiTweet.org

My advice: stop thinking of work/life balance like scales ⚖️. It's an active balance, like riding a bike. Sometimes you lean more toward one side or the other, and sometimes you have to get off and take a break. What’s important is that you keep pedaling. https://t.co/O9t4kUo6Xf — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a lot to be excited about in the American Rescue Plan. My favorite part? The expanded child tax credit, which would cut child poverty in half. Getting kids back to school safely and parents back to work are also huge pluses. More from a recent interview with @KNX1070 ⤵️ https://t.co/UFyBui63p1 — PolitiTweet.org
