As climate change & air pollution worsen, we're committing children to a future where their health & well-being are increasingly threatened. If we want to ensure the health of a child born today isn't defined by a changing climate, we need bold action to combat the climate crisis — PolitiTweet.org

Farmers can and must play an important role in improving the health of the Chesapeake Bay. That’s why I worked to secure key conservation program improvements in the 2018 Farm Bill to support farmers’ efforts to protect and improve water quality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Conservation can improve water quality as well as farmers’ bottom line, which is especially important as dairy farmers in the region continue to struggle against challenging economic and environmental conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

NEW: A report from the Environmental Defense Fund looks at Pennsylvania dairy farms and shows how conservation practices can deliver environmental and economic benefits: https://t.co/G8fcOueVAM — PolitiTweet.org

REMINDER: There are only 27 days left until https://t.co/PMdFbYxlMz open enrollment ends on Dec 15. To ensure you are choosing a plan that meets ACA requirements, such as protections for pre-existing conditions, make sure to ONLY enroll in a plan through https://t.co/PMdFbYxlMz. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The Trump Admin has been working hard to sabotage the ACA and undermine the health care of millions, but I believe all Americans deserve access to quality, affordable health services. Thank you for joining me @PAHumanServices @SecretaryMiller to discuss access to health care. https://t.co/BzsnLyCIvM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Bill was a brilliant writer and beloved member of our community who inspired those around him with his optimism and humor. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I want to also applaud @GovernorTomWolf’s action towards joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a collaborative multi-state effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which would benefit Pennsylvania’s economy, communities and environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

In PA & nationwide, we are seeing the effects of climate change on the economy, agriculture & the health of our communities. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act would address the climate crisis by providing support & coordination for regional efforts to reduce emissions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

H.R. 8 was passed by the House over 260 days ago. Despite the unconscionable gun violence plaguing our communities, @senatemajldr has not allowed it to see the light of day in the Senate. https://t.co/CPXPGQ5VEY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Ambassador Yovanovitch and the other witnesses are bravely testifying at great personal cost to themselves. We owe it to them to listen to their stories and learn the facts. Thank you, Ambassador, for your honesty, integrity and courage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Even as she faces scrutiny and borderline abusive questioning from Republicans during today’s hearing, Yovanovitch is unwavering in her solidarity with career public servants and highlights the importance of a nonpartisan diplomatic corps that promotes U.S. interests abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Though Yovanovitch has devoted decades of service to this Nation, she has been the victim of inexplicable threats & smears by the President, his personal attorney & Fox News commentators. Despite feeling threatened by the President’s extreme rhetoric, she continues to speak out. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

For 33 years, Yovanovitch served with distinction in six Administrations – Democratic & Republican – & seven countries. Her colleagues in the State Department & across the national security community describe Yovanovitch as a respected professional with credibility and integrity. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Ambassador Yovanovitch is a career public servant who has courageously served our Nation around the world to advance the interests of the United States. The story she is sharing today is deeply troubling – for our national security, and for our Democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

It is appalling to see individuals who have dedicated their entire lives to the safety and security of the United States smeared by a President and his henchmen who are more concerned about Fox News headlines than protecting our Nation’s democratic foundations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Senate Republicans refuse to pass the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization, so this week, my Democratic colleagues and I introduced our own bill – because every day we fail to renew VAWA, we fail to protect women from violence. https://t.co/BYRvPyws8P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Yesterday @ChrisMurphyCT attempted to bring the House-passed bipartisan background checks bill to the floor, which was blocked by Republicans. It’s time we hold politicians accountable including @senatemajldr who refuses to let the Senate debate & vote on gun violence legislation — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Gun violence is a uniquely American problem and the first step to reducing gun violence is passing universal background checks, limiting the size of magazines & banning military-style assault weapons. These measures will reduce the likelihood of more kids dying from gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Far too often we come together to mourn the victims of gun violence in our communities, but enough is enough. We should not have to ask kids to do active shooter drills at schools while refusing to require background checks on individuals purchasing a firearm. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Our communities continue to face unconscionable gun violence. From the recent outbreak of children dying because of guns in Philadelphia, to the shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, CA yesterday, the trauma these kids faced will haunt them for the rest of their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Some adorable babies to brighten your Twitter feed: In celebration of World Kindness Day, Pittsburgh’s UPMC Magee-Women’s Hospital dressed up newborns in red cardigans and knit booties to honor PA’s beloved Mister Rogers, who modeled kindness and compassion to children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I was proud to present the Stovall Award for Innovation in Patient-Centered Cancer Care with @RepCartwright to Dr. Harmar Brereton, MD, a Pennsylvanian whose collaborative and compassionate approach to care has eased the burden of cancer for the countless lives he has touched. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I introduced a bill this year that would encourage states to expand Medicaid coverage to children with disabilities, including Type 1 diabetes, regardless of their family’s income. No family should go bankrupt over the cost of insulin for their children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the U.S., but without protections for pre-existing conditions, patients can be denied life-saving care. This #WorldDiabetesDay and every day, I will fight for the millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions like diabetes. https://t.co/PuCrqGUGm5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

RT @SUDC: Midway through our advocacy day in DC for #scarlettssunshineact Thank you @SenBobCasey ! Let’s do this! https://t.co/QgEyZoYxdi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The American Academy of Pediatrics found that even brief detention can cause psychological trauma & induce long-term mental health risks for children. This Administration’s treatment of vulnerable, migrant children violates their human rights & disrespects our values as a nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I joined my colleagues in sending a letter to Sec. Purdue urging him to correct the inequities in the trade assistance payments. Instead of picking winners & losers, the Admin must pursue a focused, consistent trade strategy to rebuild the markets American farmers have lost. https://t.co/LpgEUSUgSY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The President promised to help farmers, but his erratic trade actions have led to unfair treatment that's hurting our agricultural economy. The $25 billion in mitigation payments to help farmers was distributed unevenly, creating chaos and disadvantaging PA’s farmers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Ambassador Taylor: Thank you for your service and your bravery, and for your commitment to the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org
