This Administration has repeatedly highlighted protecting religious freedom as a top foreign policy priority, yet Sikh & Hindu communities in Afghanistan face an existential threat from ISIS-K because of their religion. We must extend protections to these threatened communities. — PolitiTweet.org

PASSED: in a historic vote, the House said YES to #DCStatehood! Denying DC a vote in Congress means denying full representation to the 700,000+ residents—majority Black and Brown voters—in our Nation’s capital. Next up, passing @SenatorCarper’s Senate version to make DC #51 — PolitiTweet.org

This may feel like a challenging year to celebrate #PrideMonth, but the LGBTQ+ community has a history of resilience. I know this community will once again look adversity in the face and rise up together in solidarity and celebration. My full statement: https://t.co/mLA0cP699y — PolitiTweet.org

Don't bothsides this pandemic. Only one party downplayed the severity of #COVID19, prioritized super-rich stock market investors, suggested sacrificing our seniors, demonized mask-wearing & are still trying to gut affordable health care. Republicans did. https://t.co/AjMZBkNewW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

To put the cruelty in context: since unemployment skyrocketed due to #COVID19, #ACA enrollment is up 46%, helping 154,000+ more people get health care in the middle of a pandemic. Oh, and Republicans are still trying to invalidate it. #DropTheLawsuit https://t.co/Ci0b5veG16 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

On the night the Admin filed briefs to tear down the ACA, they released a report detailing how many people are using the marketplace for coverage & who rely on it "as a result of the economic disruption that followed COVID-19 outbreaks." Makes sense. https://t.co/IgZcBDnf6X — PolitiTweet.org

Tamir Rice would have turned 18 today. He was shot by an officer deemed emotionally unfit for duty in the next town over. We need a national, public police misconduct database like in the Justice in Policing Act so when officers engage in misconduct, their record follows them. https://t.co/gEnDvT6ak5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

"The number of infections indicated the [U.S.] was not only failing to contain the coronavirus, but also the caseload was worsening—a path at odds with many other nations that have seen steady declines." Imagine if our President had taken this seriously. https://t.co/Lqxk5GV4fJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The U.S. set a new record for most new #COVID cases in a day, & yet the President continues to make things worse by calling for decreased testing, rushing reopening, holding indoor rallies & making a mockery of mask-wearing. The GOP's rejection of science is proving disastrous. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

As we fight the worst public health crisis our Nation has seen in a century, near retirees have been left as an afterthought by the Trump Admin. If the President gets his way and strikes down the ACA, adults ages 50-64 risk losing health care coverage—in the middle of a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

These monuments purposefully celebrate a fictional, sanitized Confederacy ignorant of the death & terror it stood for. The names of those who took up arms against the U.S. in the name of slavery should be consigned to history books. Proud to cosponsor this leg with @SenateDems — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Too often we've relied on police training and resources to advance the cause of justice, but it's not working, and I'll take my share of the blame. We should have done more sooner. So let's do more now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I—and most of my colleagues—need to admit our white privilege. But that admission and reflection must translate to policy change or we'll be right back to where we were. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

If Senator McConnell were a leader who wanted to be serious in this moral moment, he would sit down with Democrats and negotiate something substantial that addresses the systemic issues in law enforcement and police accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

When I saw the George Floyd video and the marches that followed, I knew this is a defining moment for our Nation. The Harris/Booker bill challenged people, myself included, to examine our conscience and meet the moment. We can't wait to act in the direction of systemic change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I used to believe you could hold the bad apples accountable one by one, but I was wrong. It's not a few bad actors, it's a systemic racism problem that pervades the entire criminal justice system & requires a systemic approach to reform. The Harris/Booker bill takes that approach — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The GOP "JUSTICE" bill isn't written in a way that would convey that they're serious about accountability. Police training and education are important but Republicans have a gaping hole in their bill on accountability and they’re not dealing with the heart of the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

George Floyd was murdered in broad daylight, in full view of the American people, by a police officer who was aided and abetted by several other officers. To not explicitly ban the blatant injustice we all saw in that video is a colossal defect in this watered-down GOP bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Dems proposed a real police reform bill by @SenKamalaHarris & @SenBooker, rather than a GOP bill that’s little more than studies & data reporting. The American people deserve a reform bill that delivers real accountability and protects the Constitutional rights of all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Over 123,000 families have lost a loved one to coronavirus. These are our parents, children, neighbors, teachers, friends. And instead of meeting them with compassion, the President is continuing his playbook of racist rhetoric. Despicable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

President Trump has now confirmed numerous times that his Administration ordered coronavirus testing to be slowed. Americans died because of this decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The minority small business community is facing unprecedented challenges due to #COVID19. Yesterday I joined @AACCWP and #GrowWithGoogle for a digital workshop to support Pennsylvania's small businesses and discuss how to manage business remotely. Thanks to all who attended! https://t.co/B8dZwV28Dr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The improvements put forward in my legislation with @SenCortezMasto are long overdue. When it comes to upholding the rights of workers and the rights of women, the United States should lead the way. https://t.co/WcBhFhAJZA — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary DeVos claims she supports #TitleIX, but this is a flat out lie. I voted no on DeVos in committee, I voted no on her confirmation and I'll continue to vote no on any rule that undermines protections for victims of sexual assault. https://t.co/5qD9ukP2Ln — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Secretary DeVos gutted #TitleIX protections for victims of sexual assault on campus, and proposed rules to undermine protections for victims of sexual harassment and assault and stop holding institutions accountable for protecting their students. — PolitiTweet.org
