The #ChildTaxCredit will begin to hit bank accounts this week. This lifeline will help lift more than 2k VT children out of deep poverty. It’s critical and we must prioritize working families by making it permanent. Check out https://t.co/rqIoI2esHV for more information. #vtpoli — PolitiTweet.org

The expanded CTC has the potential to provide some economic security for families struggling with the everyday challenges of child rearing. This is not about who you voted for. It’s about what our kids need. https://t.co/ZHDflWuzIU — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, we weren’t able to celebrate 7/4 together. More than 80% of VT's eligible population has received at least 1 dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, making us the 1st to reach this milestone. Get outside & catch the fireworks - you’ve earned this, VT. Wishing you a happy 7/4! https://t.co/G7GNyPNVcK — PolitiTweet.org

VT has long embraced greater access to the ballot as the linchpin of our democracy. Unfortunately, this isn't true everywhere in the US. This decision upholding restrictions in AZ is a blow to equal voting rights & why we must pass the For the People Act. https://t.co/O2j98XixP8 — PolitiTweet.org

Getting these methane rules back on the books is a good step in reversing the most harmful of the Trump-era climate rules. But it’s just a start. We need a bold shift to deploy more renewable energy, embrace energy efficiency, and electrify our transportation system now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Pleased to be a part of the bill signing ceremony by @POTUS to restore critical Obama-era climate change rules. Climate change is an existential crisis that needs urgent action. https://t.co/sTqwRGIIqM — PolitiTweet.org

Jan 6th wasn't a tourist visit- violence was used in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying the election results. We need the facts & accountability to ensure an assault on our democracy never happens again. That's why I support this Committee. https://t.co/rIAuZ2BJfa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Thanks for the hat @RepAOC! I’m all in on getting the #GreenNewDeal done. https://t.co/MdqJ3oHQxb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Former Chief Justice Taney and Confederate leaders don't deserve a statue or bust in the Capitol. They represent hate, division, and slavery. It's time to remove them from the halls of Congress. That’s why I vote to #RemoveHate. https://t.co/jm5lC6bGqc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Every LGBTQ+ American deserves to live their authentic life with pride and dignity. As we celebrate this historic ruling by the highest court, and the progress that we’ve made, we must also recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for full equality. Our work continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Six years ago today the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges made marriage equality the law of the land. With this historic decision, the Court affirmed what Vermonters recognized long before: that all Americans are equal under the law regardless of sexual orientation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Our democracy is stronger when more people have a voice & easier access to the ballot. VT is leading the way by extending the vote to more people, not less. We need to extend the “VT way” across the country b/c voter suppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

From a dairy farm in Montgomery to the Olympics in Tokyo. You make Vermonters proud. Go for gold, Elle! We'll all be cheering you on. https://t.co/l6BGhppOuX — PolitiTweet.org

I sent a letter to @biogen demanding their justification for such an astronomical price. This abuse of pricing power makes the promise of this drug unreachable for too many living with Alzheimer’s, while pushing Medicare closer to financial disaster. https://t.co/NmUIiXg0B6 — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to be a part of the Juneteenth event today in Hartford. It’s important that we commemorate the end of slavery in the U.S., but a just and equal society takes work by all of us every day. https://t.co/wxiFGxWAUu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

👏 The ACA is here to stay and will continue to provide quality health care to millions of Americans. The repeated attempts to rip away protections from those with pre-existing conditions have failed. I’m pleased SCOTUS upheld this important law today. https://t.co/8Zi8huYG9D — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday @RepYvetteClarke & I introduced the American Renewable Energy Act which would establish an ambitious but achievable 70% renewable energy target by 2030 for the energy sector, helping to deliver a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future. https://t.co/dQNvZ17Aja — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow the House will repeal the Iraq AUMF. I addressed the House in support of the repeal today. It is long overdue. https://t.co/Az9fSbelRP — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I sent a letter to the CEO of @biogen demanding to know how the company justified pricing their new Alzheimer’s drug at $56k/year. This blatant abuse of pricing power makes the promise of this drug unreachable for many of the 6M Americans living with Alzheimer’s. Read ⬇️: https://t.co/RVUVAztDZi — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent news! Vermonters stepped up and have a lot to be proud of for being the first state in the country to reach the 80% vaccination rate. It’s a testament to the Vermont way - caring for each other and our communities. https://t.co/I0ONALidkH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Thank you, @VP! Voting is the foundation of our democracy. I'm so thankful for all those in the Green Mountain State who made this happen. #vtpoli — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

.@Propublica proves that the richest pay almost no taxes. Our tax system is unfair, yet Republicans won’t consider taxing the wealthiest Americans a single dollar more to invest in infrastructure or anything else that would help all Americans. Fix the tax system, fix our roads. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

It's the perfect weekend to get the vaccine and help to fully reopen VT! This weekend there are FREE, WALK IN vaccine clinics all across the state. Find the closest one to you and walk in! Go to https://t.co/elJrDnimH3 to find a clinic near you and get Vermont to 80% vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

I had a great visit today with Global Village Foods in Windsor. They are amazing and have partnered w/ the Everyone Eats program to provide delicious & allergy friendly meals to VT'ers in need during the pandemic. Thanks to the incredible founders Mel & Damaris for hosting me! https://t.co/jVNXwL4LzB — PolitiTweet.org
