No one in the U.S. should fear being the target of violence because of who they are or who they love. The #Stonewall uprising empowered thousands of #LGBTQ individuals to emerge from the shadows & come out publicly as they stood up for their community on June 28, 1969 & beyond. https://t.co/ujUipbOutR — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to rail transportation improvements, safety must remain a top priority. We must be aware of the challenges that exist in a busy transportation corridor. We need to make sure we've learned the lessons from the DuPont accident and stop the next one from happening. https://t.co/G3JD51OP7v — PolitiTweet.org

Washington railroads are a gateway to the Pacific, and the challenge of moving people & freight through our region is becoming more and more complex. We must address these challenges. https://t.co/vBRZtnVahw — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of Washingtonians have benefited from access to trails & outdoor recreation opportunities, as well as clean air & water preservation, which would not have been possible without the Land & Water Conservation Fund. #FundLWCF https://t.co/gkg3dPEfZe — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

We need to build on proven federal rail initiatives, like the one that recently provided a grant to improve the Pines Road intersection in Spokane Valley, and we also need to consider other ways to help communities with at-grade rail crossings. — PolitiTweet.org

In Spokane Valley, 56 freight and 2 passenger trains pass through Pines Road, creating 3 hours of rail-related closures daily. We must have adequate funding for rail infrastructure, which is instrumental in making sure passenger and freight trains run safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

Wilbur Ross was wrong. Every person must be counted – that’s what the Constitution requires. We need full participation and no communities should feel intimidated or disenfranchised. It is critical to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

I've introduced legislation to make #LWCF funding mandatory and to fully fund the program at the newly authorized level of $900 million a year. Over its history, LWCF has received less than half of its authorized funding levels – a shortfall of $22 billion. #FundLWCF — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

The #LWCF is our country’s most successful conservation program. It helps support Washington's robust outdoor recreation economy, which is responsible for 201,000 direct jobs, $26.2 billion in annual consumer spending, & $7.6 billion in wages & salaries. #FundLWCF https://t.co/wHhdXaQ5f3 — PolitiTweet.org

We must continue making investments in the Land & Water Conservation Fund and taking care of the backlog in maintenance on our public lands. #FundLWCF — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a big supporter of @Amtrak funding and reauthorization. This is so important to the state of Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

The Lewis & Clark National Historical Park in Pacific County, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, and DeWatto Headwaters Forest could all benefit from the full and mandatory funding of the Land & Water Conservation Fund. #FundLWCF https://t.co/wI72SvxHRb — PolitiTweet.org

Washington railroads are a gateway to the Pacific, and the challenge of moving people & freight through our region is becoming more and more complex. We must address these challenges as our trade economy continues to grow. — PolitiTweet.org

Climate is impacting our public lands. And if we don't have all the tools to best deal with that, then we're going to be challenged. #FundLWCF ➡️ https://t.co/KrNSYFiNpi — PolitiTweet.org

We live in an era of increasing global commerce, and in Washington, we're seeing more #trains than ever before. Our trade economy relies on these methods of transportation to our ports. — PolitiTweet.org

Fully funding #LWCF could ensure a number of priority projects throughout Washington state receive critical funding, including #SteigerwaldLake National Wildlife Refuge in Clark County and #Willapa Wildlife Refuge in Pacific County. #FundLWCF https://t.co/DyZgvWfxeI — PolitiTweet.org

As climate change continues to impact public lands throughout the country, I've called on my colleagues to fully fund the Land & Water Conservation Fund and make up for years of underfunding #publiclands infrastructure. #FundLWCF — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

Today @RepAdamSmith and I are proud to announce that $9.1 million in federal funding has been awarded to support noise mitigation projects for @HighlineSchools. These funds will help support student learning by reducing classroom interruptions from excessive aircraft noise. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

Thank you @EnvAm for joining the fight to #FundLWCF at today's @EnergyDems hearing! We need to build on our success to permanently extend the Land & Water Conservation Fund by making sure the funding is mandatory & it gets fully funded every year. #LWCF https://t.co/B9zroNsxw9 — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, hours & days can be wasted in responding to cases of missing & murdered Native women & girls. #SavannasAct would streamline the protocols between our Tribes & law enforcement agencies, meaning swifter action. The Senate should pass it immediately. https://t.co/2EevhAPX4e — PolitiTweet.org

I don't agree with the Trump administration's proposal to roll back fuel efficiency standards. According to @EPA, the transportation sector is responsible for 29% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Combining smart policy with American ingenuity can make a difference here. — PolitiTweet.org

Title X family planning is a successful & cost-effective program that provides contraception, screenings, and essential preventive care to millions of women & families. I oppose the Trump administration’s efforts to undermine #TitleX. 🙅 https://t.co/LEJA2Wydda — PolitiTweet.org

As we invest in transportation improvements, we also must keep safety at top of mind. We should be developing new vehicle safety technologies while continuing to make sure we're meeting the challenge of pedestrian & cyclist safety. — PolitiTweet.org
