Despite SCOTUS blocking Trump’s attempt to add a citizenship question to the Census, he hasn’t given up on finding a way to not count everyone. Now, he's attempting to cut the Census short, jeopardizing a decade of funding for our communities. https://t.co/VqtwX2aikO — PolitiTweet.org

Very grateful to hear from Bryan Stevenson today. His leadership, expertise, and hope for America is an inspiration for all of us as we work to pursue justice and confront the pernicious legacy of slavery and racism in our country. https://t.co/oCAKUrZpiu — PolitiTweet.org

We must protect our right to vote from threats like voter suppression, gerrymandering, disinformation, and elections awash in dark money. Our resolution not only celebrates the Voting Rights Act but recommits us to strengthening it for the 21st century. https://t.co/OtM6cZWB08 — PolitiTweet.org

55 years later, the Voting Rights Act remains a powerful reminder that we can move closer to our highest ideals — but only if we insist on it, work at it, and jealously guard this democracy as if our future depends on it. Because it does. #VRA55 #ProtectOurVote — PolitiTweet.org

Our tribal businesses have unique structures & needs that should be recognized in the way we provide assistance. That’s why I introduced the Tribal Business Access to PPP Act—to make sure that tribal businesses receive the full federal relief they are due. https://t.co/remjAnD9Vo — PolitiTweet.org

Since the beginning of this pandemic, I've demanded we respond to this crisis with a plan that matches its magnitude. This proposal does just that, and we must include it in the next relief package. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

My colleagues and I put forward a joint proposal that combines seven health and social service workforce bills—including my #HealthForce with @gillibrandny—into a dynamic package. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s shameful that the Trump Administration has failed to make good on its promise to Coloradans who were left with damages from Gold King five years ago. I'll keep fighting for these payments until EPA takes action. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We should also invest in cleaning up the abandoned mines on our public lands, which would improve water quality, boost our economy, and prevent future disasters. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We can prevent the next Gold King disaster with a comprehensive approach — which is why I've introduced legislation to reform the outdated 1872 Mining Law to take the burden off taxpayers, who shouldn't be left with the clean up bill. https://t.co/3BQhNBlDOg — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Half a million abandoned hardrock mines are scattered across the West, and the fifth anniversary of the Gold King Mine disaster is a reminder of the threat they pose. — PolitiTweet.org

Momentum continues to build for the #RESTART Act. @NATOcinemas, @AHLA, @ASTAadvisors, @nivassoc, @Sports_ETA and other shuttered industries are urging Congress to help the hardest-hit small businesses stay afloat. https://t.co/rHTYuVvPTD — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We cannot accept that a Black woman, Brittney Gilliam, and four young Black girls were held at gunpoint while lying down on hot asphalt because their van was mistaken for a stolen motorcycle. The Senate must pass the #JusticeInPolicing Act. https://t.co/Pilko4DJak — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The #RESTART Act needs to be included in the next relief package if we want to prevent hundreds of thousands of small businesses from closing their doors for good. As @HowardSchultz put it, "this is a 5 alarm emergency." https://t.co/cv0o4Rwyy2 — PolitiTweet.org

I offer my thoughts and prayers for all those suffering in Beirut today. I hope the U.S. can join the international relief effort as the Lebanese people recover and rebuild from this terrible tragedy. — PolitiTweet.org

The hardest-hit Main Street businesses need our support to stay afloat through this year and into 2021. To help small businesses across the country and to help the economy recover, we must include the #RESTART Act in the next relief package. https://t.co/GI8UJyUd1x — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We're proud to have over 100 CEOs supporting the #RESTART Act. These prominent business leaders know how important small businesses are to our economy and the dire circumstances they face without sustained support through this year and into early next year. https://t.co/4cID83kgls — PolitiTweet.org

After a decade of work, I’m thrilled that we’ve fully funded #LWCF and provided $ for our national parks & forests. Now, it's time to pass Colorado's other public lands priority: the #COREAct. The House has passed the bill twice and the Senate must act. https://t.co/xxNabiSRSv — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The @USPS is vital to our country, but #COVID19 is threatening its operations – endangering mail-in voting & our election. I'm urging Senate leadership to include emergency funding for the USPS and hazard pay for its employees in the next relief package. https://t.co/EChdmj0LVc — PolitiTweet.org

From running testing sites to restocking food banks, the National Guard has been critical to the #COVID19 response. Extending federal deployment is the right move, but cutting funding for this effort by 25% is not. https://t.co/hUjwsCqlfU — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Last week, my colleagues and I called on the administration to extend full federal funding for the Colorado National Guard deployment to help fight this pandemic. https://t.co/DgvgkpFgwQ — PolitiTweet.org

And wrapped up the day by taking questions from the Pueblo @ChieftainNews editorial board. https://t.co/cXVKB4bbnt — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Talked about working together for Coloradans over lunch with State Senate President Leroy Garcia & State Representatives Bri Buentello and Donald Valdez, and met with @PuebloHealth alongside the region’s main health care providers who are combatting the pandemic collaboratively. https://t.co/LnlGas1n7q — PolitiTweet.org

Had a great, socially distant day in Pueblo on Friday. We visited with the Pueblo Food Project – Pueblo Mayor Gradisar and I had a chance to learn about their edible gardens from master gardener Deric Stowell and other Pueblo Food Council members. https://t.co/DwpDEAoYjb — PolitiTweet.org
