Our primary concern in addressing this mulch fire is the children ⁠— to ensure this environmental injustice no longer affects their learning or health. With the hard work of firefighters, @CALFIRERRU & other tribes helping @USIndianAffairs, the smoke & fire should be out soon. https://t.co/MHoWHMjwvV — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: Last week, I brought together physicians, public health experts, and members of Congress to discuss solutions to reduce gun deaths in our country. We must start treating the gun violence epidemic as the public health crisis that it is. #ThisIsOurLane https://t.co/CmJiC4Y1Jr — PolitiTweet.org

I visited the Ibanez property mulch fire in Thermal. The @USIndianAffairs and @CALFIRERRU have made great progress. Thanks to the around-the-clock work from our brave firefighters, the smoke and fire are just about out, much sooner than expected. Stay tuned for more updates. https://t.co/z46TQs7r4p — PolitiTweet.org

Attending an active shooter training at Westfield Mall this morning, I saw our first responders' dedication and preparation on full display. Thank you to the men and women who put their lives on the line for the safety of our communities. https://t.co/1MzeVyKdGu — PolitiTweet.org

We must continue working to strengthen our nation’s workforce and economy. That is why I voted for the Outsourcing Accountability Act to hold public companies who ship jobs overseas accountable by disclosing whether they are supporting job growth here in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

It is unacceptable that seniors across the country are rationing their medication or sometimes forgoing it altogether because of high prices. That is why I support H.R. 3, the Lower Prescription Drugs Cost Now Act to lower out-of-pocket costs for our seniors. #LowerDrugCosts https://t.co/IjYEFLwMsl — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Great news! After many calls to multiple agencies, the @forestservice & @CAL_FIRE are providing resources to @USIndianAffairs to put the Thermal fire out quicker. I now share BIA and CalFire’s optimism that if all goes well, the fire & smoke should be resolved by Sunday evening. — PolitiTweet.org

Our world lost a bright light two years ago today when Jennifer Kepner passed away from pancreatic cancer. An Air Force veteran and mother of two, Jennifer was a fearless fighter & advocate who fought tirelessly for her fellow veterans suffering after their exposure to burn pits. https://t.co/lhleWcgpiI — PolitiTweet.org

Disabled veterans in our communities face unique challenges when navigating the VA. This week, I supported the VA Website Accessibility Act to make VA websites more accessible for disabled veterans so that they can get the care they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

You shouldn’t have to choose between buying groceries and getting the medication you need. It’s really that simple. We must reduce the cost of prescription drugs. #RT if you agree. #LowerDrugCosts #ForThePeople https://t.co/gOPb5hjqbg — PolitiTweet.org

As a physician, I have seen firsthand the health decline in people who tried tobacco as teenagers, got addicted, and never quit. We must reduce underage teens’ access to harmful nicotine products. That's why I'm working on legislation to deter retailers from selling to minors. https://t.co/Gs8ZzPiPGx — PolitiTweet.org

Representative Elijah Cummings was a good human being with a great heart and sharp mind. He was truly passionate to serve others, defend civil rights, and promote social justice. I am sad he passed & will mourn with his family, friends, and the countless people who will miss him. — PolitiTweet.org

Every year, @RepBradWenstrup and I have a friendly wager on the Congressional Baseball Game: whoever loses has to host an ice cream social for the winner's office. Thanks for hosting our office this year! I think we can all agree on this: the Graeter's ice cream was delicious! https://t.co/ggNMl8JJ0q — PolitiTweet.org

We must begin treating gun violence as the public health crisis that it is. That’s why today, I convened physicians, public health experts, and members of Congress to address gun violence through a public health lens. #ThisIsOurLane https://t.co/044sxU4mKg — PolitiTweet.org

It’s past time the public health hazard posed by this facility is shut down for good. I want to commend the students at Desert Mirage High School, whose stories and advocacy played a pivotal role in ensuring students’ health is no longer put at risk. https://t.co/BzpBMziJRi — PolitiTweet.org

Here in California, more than 10,000 veterans are homeless. No one who has served and sacrificed for our nation should have to live on the streets. That's why tonight, I supported the Homeless Veteran Families Act to help homeless veterans and their families access safe housing. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

We must address gun violence with the same public health and data-informed approach we have taken to other public health crises. Tomorrow, I will convene physicians and public health experts to share their research and experiences. Tune in tomorrow at 2 pm! #ThisIsOurLane — PolitiTweet.org

120°F and no A/C? For Eric and other students who have to travel long distances on school buses in extreme heat areas, air conditioning can prevent heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps and exhaustion. I will keep working to protect the health and safety of our students. https://t.co/4nIYweA1f0 — PolitiTweet.org

The 1.6% Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment for 2020 will help nearly 69 million Americans. We must continue building a system that reflects the true cost of living for our seniors, which is why I also support the Social Security 2100 Act. https://t.co/8fyLa7wbs9 — PolitiTweet.org
