I'm glad to see my Senate colleagues are moving forward on the Postal Reform Act, which we passed in the House last month. This is essential legislation for Vermonters and will make sure we can continue to depend on the USPS for generations to come. Let's get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Trans kids and their families deserve safety, support, and love, not transphobic attacks. I stand with trans kids and their communities, and I applaud the Biden administration for taking action to protect their right to live safely and free from discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

3.5 million veterans were exposed to burn pits during their service. When they came home sick, far too many couldn't get the care they needed. That's unacceptable. Today, I voted YES on the Honoring Our PACT Act to make sure these vets get the care they need. https://t.co/bDJNu2PLDT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Americans are struggling with the cost of housing, education, and already high drug costs. How does Big Pharma respond? This January, they hiked prices. I joined @SenWarren and others to ask @PhRMA to explain these brutal price increases and put an end to price gouging. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Enjoyed attending @POTUS’s State of the Union address with my friend @SenatorLeahy. There’s more work ahead to lower costs for American families, fight the climate crisis, and help the Ukrainian people. We’re committed to getting this done for Vermonters. https://t.co/DO8hvPbsdz — PolitiTweet.org

Meet our virtual State of the Union guest Jesse Coutrayer! Jesse is a preschool teacher in Burlington, and he’s hoping to hear President Biden talk tonight about the important work of childcare providers and educators. I agree! https://t.co/31oo8aagPi — PolitiTweet.org

Vermont's town meetings are a proud tradition. They show the importance of listening to one another, respecting different opinions and working together to find common-sense solutions. It’s the Vermont Way and what I bring with me to Washington every day. https://t.co/UlP1TkeXh6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Tonight the Senate votes on the Women's Health Protection Act to create federal protections for the right to abortion. I cosponsored the #WHPA in the House to protect abortion access across the US. I urge the Senate to #ActForAbortionAccess and pass this critical legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Today the Supreme Court hears arguments in West Virginia v. EPA. This case is a dangerous effort to strip EPA of its ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. I'll be watching the court closely and will do all I can in Congress to defend @EPA's work to protect our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I spoke with press in Vermont today about Putin’s senseless war in Ukraine. His actions are criminal. I’m going back to DC to make sure Ukraine gets the military and humanitarian aid they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Judge Brown Jackson is an outstanding pick. She is thoughtful, experienced, and brilliant. I look forward to seeing her as a Supreme Court Justice. — PolitiTweet.org

The Russian invasion of an independent Ukraine is a catastrophe and will result in the loss of many innocent lives. My statement, below. https://t.co/CggGkgDLiK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Our communities thrive when we put our kids first. For the wellbeing of our kids, we need to make affordable child care available for everyone. That starts with #BuildBackBetter. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The #AmericaCOMPETES Act includes new funding for @BrandUSA to show the world why we love the Green Mountain State. That's great for Vermont's businesses, state parks, and cultural institutions. Let's get this bill signed into law so we can welcome visitors back to Vermont. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Renewable energy builds a more resilient electric grid, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and creates new jobs. That's good for families and the planet. We need to pass #BuildBackBetter and #AmericaCOMPETES to build an American-made clean energy future. https://t.co/xABVvyeT81 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I’ll keep fighting to #ReplenishRRF. Businesses in Vermont and across the country need this lifeline. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The Senate needs to move forward on #BuildBackBetter and get folks the help they need. Childcare, prescription drugs – these things aren't luxuries. We’ve got to get this done for Vermonters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Restaurants need our help. The pandemic has put a brutal strain on these businesses, but we can help them thrive again with a bit more help. I urge @POTUS to back additional support for struggling restaurants as we continue to recover from this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The #ChildTaxCredit helps kids, parents, and communities thrive. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass the expanded CTC that the House sent over to build a better future for our kids. https://t.co/Lerkrw5Kao — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I’ve joined @RepCori, @SenBooker, and many others to ask the Biden Administration to examine the disparate treatment of Black migrants and reverse policies that deny asylum seekers the opportunity to pursue their claims. We must break this cycle of injustice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Extreme weather gets more common as climate change worsens. In Vermont, we've seen more drought, with the longest lasting 71 weeks. That's dire for VT farmers. We must pass #BuildBackBetter to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. https://t.co/aQkuSgSJSb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Last year was the second biggest year for US clean energy on record -- that's good news, but we have a lot more to do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address the climate crisis. We have to pass #BuildBackBetter and build our clean energy future. https://t.co/EG7ZPiMt1n — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

20% of Vermonters lack broadband access, and 70% can't access the highest speed service, making it harder for Vermonters to thrive in our digital world. Today I'm talking with @NTIAgov on how we can bridge the #DigitalDivide for Vermonters. Tune in here: https://t.co/kqR5nbZvoF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of Jenna Tatro's passing. We mourn her passing, remember her life, and celebrate the work her family continues to do for Vermonters struggling with substance abuse. https://t.co/lTc5cIbTKN — PolitiTweet.org

Another medal comes home to the Green Mountains. Congratulations, Megan! https://t.co/vZro9kWMSF — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks four years since the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. We remember the victims and honor them by keeping up the fight for common sense gun control. Stoneman Douglas students ignited a movement -- it's up to us to take action now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Investments in fair and affordable housing are long overdue. To combat homelessness and ensure stable housing for all, we need to #ShowHousingLove and #PassBuildBackBetter. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Updates to our appliance energy efficiency standards are badly needed. Let’s bring our standards up to date, so we can protect our planet and save Americans money. — PolitiTweet.org
