We have seen analysis after analysis—including from the Trump administration’s own EPA—showing the Pebble Mine will irreparably harm Bristol Bay and over 50 million salmon that return to the watershed every year. (1/2) https://t.co/Vv6mXuyniA — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks 11 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. It’s long past time American families across the country got a raise. I’m proud to have introduced legislation to #RaiseTheWage to $15 by 2024 & increase the wages of almost 30% of the U.S. workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

What we need now is de-escalation. The administration should focus on ways to protect civil rights and make the changes Americans are calling for, not cause further provocation and increase tensions. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Americans have the constitutional right to assemble and protest. Local and state authorities have not asked for assistance from the federal government, and it is not the role of the Department of Homeland Security to unilaterally intervene in protests in American cities. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

The United States Postal Service connects our communities, helps small businesses stay connected, & employs more than 630,000 people. Congress should appropriate funds to ensure @USPS can keep post offices open, maintain its services, & remain independent. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday the Senate-crafted #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct was sent to the president’s desk. As a longtime #LWCF advocate, I’m very happy that my colleagues have joined in this bipartisan effort to say that public lands really do mean a lot to our nation. https://t.co/YoYO2XN5PR — PolitiTweet.org

We’re also fixing decades of underinvestment in public lands by permanently fixing funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which will give Americans two- to three-times more dollars invested in parks & open space at no cost to the taxpayer. #LWCF https://t.co/QJK34fnuJg — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

I applaud my House colleagues for passing the #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct and getting it to the president’s desk. Our National Park maintenance backlog is atrocious. Investment in maintenance helps keep our parks open and allows them to serve more visitors. #GAOA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

I look forward to the House passing the #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct—which will fully #FundLWCF—today. 98% of counties in America have a project funded by #LWCF. Public lands mean a lot to our nation & this bill couldn’t be a more important investment or give us a bigger return. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

Washington has received more than $700 million from #LWCF for projects from Gas Works Park to expanding access to our rivers & forests. The #GAOA will inject money into our economy, create more jobs, & fix the repairs we need to our public lands, without costing taxpayers a dime. https://t.co/DDPQtM0yl9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

Today the House is set to pass the Great American Outdoors Act, which will fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund & address our national parks maintenance backlog. #LWCF has dedicated 5 million acres of open space across the U.S. This is a big win for Americans. #GAOA https://t.co/QIFCoGkbzo — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must extend support for everyone who has lost their jobs as a result of the pandemic & get more funding for our hospitals & schools. It’s also critical we increase testing & make sure our health care & front-line workers have the #PPE they need. https://t.co/GiG9bWSkgx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

One of Americans’ most fundamental rights is the right to protest, and that means being able to protest without unidentified, militarized federal officers being called. This bill protects our First Amendment rights and the safety of all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

We cannot let this pandemic further the digital divide harming our nation’s students. I’m proud to cosponsor legislation with @SenMarkey to help close the #HomeworkGap with emergency FCC E-Rate funding. Functioning broadband is a necessity for every American home. https://t.co/CMhZARkd9K — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

I’m urging the Trump admin to withdraw its confusing & harmful changes to #COVID19 hospital reporting requirements. Abruptly changing the reporting process could disrupt the data & raise questions about its accuracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

We’ve lost a civil rights icon at a time the country greatly needs him. John Lewis spent his life showing us how to fight for justice and equality. Now it’s up to us to carry it on. My full statement on the passing of Congressman John Lewis: https://t.co/GeBiCCTMeb — PolitiTweet.org

.@SoundTransit's Federal Way Link Extension project is a game-changer for commuters in South King County, connecting them to Sea-Tac & downtown Seattle with easier commutes and less congestion. That means a better experience for so many people. https://t.co/PT1rJJUJna — PolitiTweet.org

We still need comprehensive civil rights and anti-discrimination legislation to help protect #LGBTQ Americans. It’s time for Leader McConnell to take the #EqualityAct out of the legislative graveyard and get it onto the Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

In light of the SCOTUS #Bostock decision, I asked the Trump administration to review & revoke all of its policies permitting discrimination against #LGBTQ people. All Americans should have confidence that their federal government is working to protect—not undermine—their rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

Undermining or denying climate change science does not protect our economic interests. We are already seeing the huge costs of #climatechange & unless we act now they will only continue to grow. https://t.co/AZlDcxN52y — PolitiTweet.org
