I would've thought a bill to help our veterans who have been exposed to toxins during their service the health care necessary to help them would be the easiest bipartisan bill to pass. Instead, the vast majority of Republicans in Congress voted to deny them that care. https://t.co/85RuO9YeiS — PolitiTweet.org

In April, I co-wrote a letter to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to establish a two-person crew requirement for all rail operations. Today, I was proud to see the FRA propose such a rule to increase worker and rail safety. https://t.co/ZlouZQTAB9 — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to Anthony Capuano for his Carnegie Medal! He saved a 68-year-old man from a sinking car after it plunged into Newark Bay. Capuano removed his prosthetic leg and scaled a fence before he carried the man back to shore. #CarnegieHero https://t.co/VoTy0sAIzR https://t.co/SyI56FAGzc — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I helped pass the Right to Contraception Act of 2022 (H.R. 8373). The right of Americans to access contraception, protect their physical health, and control if and when they want to have families should be absolute. https://t.co/ZNShlvUVcG — PolitiTweet.org

I voted for two bills today to protect a woman's right to her reproductive health care choices and protect who seek better care in another state.

Today is the 58th Anniversary of the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964.
