I just voted to make DC the 51st state. It is past time to guarantee the residents in our nation’s capital the freedoms and representation all Americans deserve. #DCStatehood — PolitiTweet.org

Congress passed a bipartisan resolution to block Secretary DeVos’s rule that favors predatory schools over the student borrowers they defrauded. The President vetoed the resolution. Today, I joined my House colleagues to vote to overturn the President’s veto. #StandWithStudents — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Supreme Court decision guaranteeing same-sex couples’ right to marry. Even as we celebrate the progress we have made, let us remember we still have work to do to achieve full equality under the law. #loveislove — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary @BetsyDeVosED is diverting emergency #CARESAct funding meant for low-income public school students to private schools. This is unconscionable, especially amid a pandemic that is widening inequities in education. https://t.co/hIZSKDSKLm — PolitiTweet.org

Let me be clear: In the middle of a pandemic, the President is urging the Supreme Court to strip health care from 20+ million Americans and remove protections for pre-existing conditions, such as COVID-19. https://t.co/vlHhiHppnp — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: The House just passed the #JusticeInPolicing Act, long-overdue legislation to address police brutality and racial profiling. The path to justice started today. But more must be done to remove the knee that has been on the neck of Black communities for generations. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been more than 200 days since the House passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act. The Senate needs to take up and pass #HR4 to #RestoreTheVote. Every eligible citizen must have the unfettered, unabridged right to vote. (7/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Former Rep. Marcia L. Fudge @RepMarciaFudge

To protect Americans from these suppression tactics, the House passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act in December to restore the Voting Rights Act to full strength. The bill updates the formula used to determine which states & localities must pre-clear voting changes. (6/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Former Rep. Marcia L. Fudge @RepMarciaFudge

Since Shelby, states have enacted laws that have made voting harder, especially for Black, Native, Latino and language-minority citizens. These include voter purges, poll closures, cut backs to early voting, strict voter ID requirements, and lack of language assistance. (5/7) — PolitiTweet.org

The Committee’s findings formed the basis of a report on Voting Rights and Election Administration in the U.S. that was released last November. This report makes one thing clear: Voter suppression is alive and well in America today. (4/7) https://t.co/mPNw68dXlh — PolitiTweet.org

At the beginning of the 116th Congress, the Committee on House Administration reconstituted the Subcommittee on Elections. I am proud to chair this subcommittee, which held hearings in 7 states & Washington, D.C. to collect evidence on the state of voting rights in America. (3/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Former Rep. Marcia L. Fudge @RepMarciaFudge

In the decision, Chief Justice Roberts acknowledged that "voting discrimination still exists; no one doubts that.” But he called on Congress to craft a new formula for pre-clearance that takes into account today's conditions. (2/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Former Rep. Marcia L. Fudge @RepMarciaFudge

Seven years ago today, the Supreme Court struck down a key portion of the Voting Rights Act, eliminating requirements for certain states to “pre-clear” their voting law changes with DOJ. This decision unleashed a wave of voter suppression across the country. THREAD (1/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Tamir Rice should be celebrating his 18th birthday today. He was killed at the age of 12 by Cleveland police while carrying a toy gun. Today, we fight for police reform to honor his life and the many Black lives cut short by police discriminatory use of deadly force. — PolitiTweet.org

Schools are facing devastating budget cuts as they plan for safely reopening. The #HeroesAct helps state and localities avoid budget cuts and invests more than $100 billion in emergency education funding. We need to get this right or students will fall even farther behind. — PolitiTweet.org

The CARES Act worked. But many Americans are still experiencing hunger, hardship and insecurity like never before. The House passed the Heroes Act more than a month ago to provide a second round of relief. It is time for the Senate to do its job. https://t.co/oIm1ttmCRI — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot lose the momentum of this moment. Now is not the time for a watered down bill that fails to provide meaningful change. We need real police reform on everything from chokeholds to qualified immunity. We need to pass the Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Rep. Marcia L. Fudge @RepMarciaFudge

The pandemic has exposed racial disparities in education, health, and employment. We must address these inequities to prevent communities of color from being left holding the short end of the stick. https://t.co/SkSuGoNeyi — PolitiTweet.org
