After years of disingenuous questions and deceitful politics, I believe it is time that those who have advocated for the overturning of a woman’s right to choose answer some questions of their own. I certainly look forward to the response. https://t.co/X57JFwOOY9 — PolitiTweet.org

.@MARTAtransit brings Metro Atlanta together, and I was proud to help secure federal funds to better connect our communities. Thank you for having me! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Active shooter events have become far too common in our country & continue to rip our communities apart. Today, the House is considering the Active Shooter Alert Act to help departments send out AMBER Alert-like messages during active incidents. I will be proud to support it. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I attended the White House Ceremony commemorating the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. This historic legislation is a critical tool in our fight against gun violence, and a reminder that our fight must continue. https://t.co/NuZT9BhfdF — PolitiTweet.org

Eid al-Adha Mubarak! Wishing all who are celebrating a wonderful holiday filled with prayer and reflection with family and friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations @GabbyGiffords! It is an honor to know you. — PolitiTweet.org

When I return to Washington next week to attend the signing ceremony for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, I will carry with me the memories of the Highland Park victims, understanding that we must continue to fight for a future free from gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Gun violence does not discriminate; it mars communities without regard for its victims, and it continues at a frequency that does not pause for national holidays. We must give the American people more tools to combat gun violence and prevent these tragedies. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

These senseless killings leave us with more questions than answers. My heart breaks for the victims and their families, and for an entire community that is grieving and processing this trauma. But I do know this: the Highland Park shooting underscores our urgent need to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Six lives were lost and dozens more were injured in Highland Park, an area familiar to me from my childhood in Illinois. Now, yet another community is traumatized by the uniquely American epidemic of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

This weekend, while Americans were trying to celebrate the ideals that our nation can still live up to, we instead witnessed yet another tragedy involving gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing everyone a safe and festive 4th of July! https://t.co/G1b0HTDoPF — PolitiTweet.org

My father was the president of the Illinois branch of the @NAACP. He worked beside President Johnson as the #CivilRightsAct became law. On its anniversary today, I'm thinking of my father—he raised me to fight for what is right and just, every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

On today's date in 1966, Medicare began providing essential health care services to millions of hard-working Americans. Today, we continue fighting to protect & strengthen these essential programs. If you need help navigating your benefits, please call my office: (470) 773-6330. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

It’s official! Congratulations to Supreme Court JUSTICE Ketanji Brown Jackson. https://t.co/ssKYarTENm — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Our success today will never be the end of this fight, but the beginning. Each day that goes by where we learn the news that young children have been murdered, each day when parents are forced to reckon with their deepest fears, is a day in which this fight must continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

For the first time in almost 30 years, for the first time since my son Jordan was born, this body has passed meaningful gun reforms. Legislation that will keep our children alive. For all the pain I’ve felt since Jordan was murdered, his legacy is now our triumph. https://t.co/qeFVjLCItn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

We must take up this movement until America is again a nation of choice—a nation where every woman has that freedom to choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

For all those who share my grief today, know this: you are strong and powerful beyond measure. Your worth is more than your ability to procreate. We will continue the fight to again reclaim our rights to bodily autonomy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

I have faced the pain of labor without hope for a living child. And I mourn the loss that will result from this decision—restricting access to abortion care will endanger the lives of women, disproportionately Black women, in a nation with alarmingly high rates of maternal death. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

The freedom and autonomy that has been ripped from women today is sacred—far too personal for our government to dictate. I know the agony that women face when making difficult decisions about their reproductive health. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Today, SCOTUS overturned a half century of precedent, and Dobbs will now join Plessy as one of the most regressive decisions in our nation’s history. I share the pain so many are feeling in America today. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Today, every woman in America has been made less free. Today, extremists on the Supreme Court have stripped away a woman’s right to make choices about her own reproductive health care. Today, our nation’s highest court has rolled back the clock & stripped women of their liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

An entire generation of children is learning that the adults they look up to cannot—or will not—protect them. We are facing the challenge of our lifetime & the issue of our era. We must summon the courage to do what is right. The courage to protect our kids. To protect America. https://t.co/n38oKyGatj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

For the first time in almost three decades, Republicans and Democrats have come together to address this epidemic of gun violence, and I am proud of the momentum we are building in this fight to keep our children safe. We cannot wait another moment. We must act now & save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

After my son Jordan was taken from me by gun violence, I promised that I would spend the rest of my life fighting to keep families across America from feeling the pain of losing a loved one. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Gun violence is the challenge of our lifetime and the issue of our era, and we must do all we can to keep families together, our communities whole, and our loved ones safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

Today I honor my father, whose passion for justice has guided me my whole life. Thank you, Dad, for your example. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures. Your support and guidance is invaluable. Thank you for all you do. — PolitiTweet.org

On #Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom. https://t.co/Qy2IcgybL3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath

As we continue to celebrate #PrideMonth, I am grateful for the communities, organizations, and neighbors who work alongside us every day to make our home inclusive and safe. Love is love and no one should ever be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love. — PolitiTweet.org
