Representation matters. Not only does a diverse board bring different perspectives to the table, but research shows racial, ethnic and gender diversity can improve profitability and performance. https://t.co/4rpw8R5SHo — PolitiTweet.org

One in 5 renters is behind on rent, and over 10 million homeowners are behind on mortgage payments. These disparities are worse among people of color. Today's actions will deliver immediate relief for American families bearing the brunt of this crisis. https://t.co/Eu3emTqRHp — PolitiTweet.org

Good news, PA: @POTUS has granted over $151 million in federal funding from @FEMA for COVID-19 vaccines. This critical funding will help the Commonwealth fight this virus and protect Pennsylvania families. — PolitiTweet.org

Three years ago today, we lost 17 innocent children to a school shooting in Parkland, FL. We must past commonsense gun reform to protect our Nation's children and all those who may be impacted by gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

My statement following the Senate trial of former President Trump: https://t.co/YFrPRa7Jsb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I voted to convict the former President in the most bipartisan presidential impeachment proceedings in our Nation’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The former President attacked the foundational principles of our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. He violated his oath of office and he committed a high crime against our Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

He endangered the lives of countless Congressional staffers and employees, members of the press and members of Congress. He put a target on the back of his own Vice President and his Vice President’s family. And he has shown no remorse for any of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

He did not merely endanger another branch of government and the presidential line of succession. His actions led to at least five deaths, injuries to nearly 140 members of law enforcement and untold collateral damage resulting from the carnage of that day. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

“[I]f you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” The former President led his supporters to a breaking point and as he had predicted in the past—it was “very bad, very bad.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

There's no way that a reasonable person could dispute that the former President knew exactly what he was doing by perpetuating the “Big Lie,” summoning his crowd of insurrectionists on January 6 and telling them: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

It was about a President who once bragged: “I have the tough people [supporting me], but they don’t play it tough until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

It was about a President who regularly condoned or encouraged violence at political rallies against protestors and members of the press. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This case was not merely about the former President’s speech on January 6. This was about a pattern of conduct. It was about the former President’s autocratic leadership and calls for political violence throughout his presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

And he directed them to the Capitol to prevent Congress from conducting its constitutional obligation to count the presidential electoral votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

After repeatedly failing to overturn the election, the former President summoned his mob of insurrectionists to Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 for one more attack on American democracy. He invited them. He incited them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

After losing in federal and state courts, he then tried to pressure state and local elections officials to overturn the election, and even attempted to pressure his Vice President to violate the Vice President’s Constitutional duty. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This lie was roundly dismissed by more than 60 judges across the Nation—including in Pennsylvania. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

For months after the election, we all witnessed the former President’s “Big Lie” when he repeatedly claimed—without any evidence—that the 2020 general election was stolen from him. — PolitiTweet.org
