Today @SecretaryLevine demonstrated why she is the crisis-tested leader our Nation needs as Assistant Secretary for Health at this time. In Pennsylvania, she implemented policies that stemmed the tide of opioid overdoses and saved rural hospitals. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Tomorrow’s event gives us a chance to honor leaders “bending the arc,” learn about the incredible racial justice work being done in PA and engage in a broader conversation about justice and equality. Visit https://t.co/mObhdndgk2 to attend. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This year’s theme, “Bending the Arc: Celebrating Catalysts for Change,” is inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Tomorrow, I invite you to join me in celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth at a virtual event held in honor of three extraordinary Pennsylvania leaders: Glynis Johns, Justan Parker Fields and Dr. Ala Stanford. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

COVID-19 has claimed the lives of more than 170,000 residents and workers in nursing homes and other long-term care settings. We are advancing solutions as part of the American Rescue Plan to save lives and get our seniors and front-line workers vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

After reviewing his background and record, meeting with him and listening to his testimony before two committees, I look forward to supporting his nomination on the Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

He has spent his career fighting to expand access to health care, protecting patients and consumers & working to strengthen Medicare & Medicaid. As a Congressman, he was instrumental in the drafting and passage of the ACA and as California’s AG he has led the fight to protect it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Following hearings in the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) and the Committee on Finance, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has demonstrated that he is the kind of leader our Nation needs at @HHSGov during this challenging time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Today, the Biden Administration has granted over $45 million in additional critical federal funding from @FEMA for COVID-19 vaccinations. This funding will help the Commonwealth fight this virus and protect Pennsylvania families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This would pull hundreds of thousands of Americans out of poverty. Raising the minimum wage & helping families achieve financial stability is one of the best things we can do for our children, too many of whom have parents struggling to put food on the table due to low wages. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

While the incomes of those at the top have skyrocketed, millions of workers and their families have been left behind. It is past time we took action. I am a proud cosponsor of the Raise the Wage Act, which would increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Yesterday, I spoke with @32BJSEIU @SEIUPA @seiuhcpa and @CASAinAction about the critical importance of raising the fed minimum wage to $15/hr. The last time Congress took action to raise the minimum wage was in 2007. That is unacceptable. https://t.co/42WHSh3kTT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I invite you to join me in continuing to celebrate Dr. Stanford by joining us at a virtual event held in honor of her, her fellow Honorees and #BHM this Friday, February 26. Go to https://t.co/mObhdndgk2 to learn more and to RSVP. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

She has worked at the best hospitals in the Nation, including the University of Pittsburgh, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Pennsylvania State University, Milton S. Hershey College of Medicine, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center & the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Dr. Stanford’s research in basic science, clinical research and public health has been published in peer reviewed medical journals and she serves on the CDC Philadelphia Department of Public Health COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Dr. Stanford has been a practicing physician for over 20 years, is board certified by the American Board of Surgery in both pediatric and adult general surgery and a health care advocate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The BDCC was formed in response to the disproportionate number of Black Philadelphians being diagnosed and dying from COVID and the lack of swift intervention to mitigate disease spread. Its mission is to educate, provide advocacy and barrier-free COVID testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Throughout #BlackHistoryMonth I'll be honoring leaders creating change in the Commonwealth. Today’s spotlight is Dr. Ala Stanford, Founder and CEO, Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium @alastanford — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Today marks one year since Ahmaud Arbery was killed. We cannot accept a system that turns a blind eye to the injustice and systemic racism impacting Black Americans. It is far past time for our Nation to right these injustices & hold the perpetrators of racist crimes accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Today, we pause to remember the 500,000 Americans who have lost their lives to COVID-19. We pray for those who have passed and their loved ones who go on without them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Judge Merrick Garland will restore integrity to the Justice Department. He has a record of judicial excellence, fairness and independence, and he and his team will be the American people’s lawyers. I look forward to voting to confirm his appointment. @JudiciaryDems — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Proud to have joined 700+ students from Bucks County today to hear from Mae Krier — a retired @Boeing employee and original WWII-era Rosie the Riveter. Through her advocacy work, Mae fought to move the Rosie the Riveter Congressional Gold Medal Act through Congress in December! https://t.co/ljkgpjXRh8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I urge all residents to get vaccinated when they are eligible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I commend the Biden and Wolf Administrations for coming together and creating a mass vaccination site. This site will speed the rate of vaccinations in Philadelphia and contribute to an equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines. https://t.co/SyfFJJrMc3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Yesterday, @POTUS recommitted our Nation to vital alliances, like NATO, that keep us safe. He also made clear that America will stand up and confront Russian aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

PA: wondering how COVID-19 and other changes impact your tax filing this year? My office is joining the IRS & @AARPPA for two informational sessions to make sure you're set up for success this tax season. Register for 2/22: https://t.co/YVpoeDufXY 2/24: https://t.co/gqP8de6lGO https://t.co/VM0IPOPl7Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

New in @PennLive from me: There's an urgent need to implement President Biden’s health care agenda. Americans delivered a clear mandate to make meaningful improvements to health care in our country, and it is up to us to deliver on those promises. https://t.co/C2LVjfYTAc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Back in 2013 I wrote to the SEC on corporate boardroom diversity, citing only 13% of board seats among Fortune 500 companies were held by people of color & 15% by women (2011). As of 2018, 16.1% were held by people of color & 22.5% by women. It’s progress, but nowhere near enough — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Christine Lagarde has also noted that “Adding one more woman in a firm’s senior management or corporate board—while keeping the size of the board unchanged—is associated with an 8 to 13 basis point higher return on assets." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

"If banks and financial supervisors increased the share of women in senior positions, the banking sector would be more stable" says Christine Lagarde, the first female managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) & first woman to serve as France's finance minister. — PolitiTweet.org
