No one should have to work in a building named after an individual who spent his career in government defending segregation. But that's the reality for everyone who works in the Russell Senate Office building. It's long past time we #RenameRussell. — PolitiTweet.org

What a great -- and important -- initiative from young, Black students in Denver. As we continue the fight for racial justice, it is critically important we educate ourselves and our children about the history and experiences of Black Americans. https://t.co/n6wPMMTSol — PolitiTweet.org

The president's decision to leave the @WHO in the middle of a pandemic is ludicrous. It betrays America's traditions of global engagement and further removes us from the world stage. Isolationism does not put America first. It puts America in danger. https://t.co/lDcbwRjK6a — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This is just another example of the Trump administration’s cruelty. Instead of uprooting international students during a pandemic, we should be cultivating their talents to ensure these bright minds have bright futures. https://t.co/jRCXGllTXo — PolitiTweet.org

In CO alone, 450,000 people have benefited from the additional $600/week in unemployment benefits. If we let the benefits expire at the end of the month, we’re going to force tens of millions of Americans into a financial crisis. We cannot let that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

We should listen to scientists, public health officials, and medical professionals when they tell us to wear a mask and practice social distancing to keep ourselves, our families, and our communities safe. We’re not out of the woods yet. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only will this expand recreational access, it will also support our outdoor economy, improve access to Fishers Peak, and protect wildlife habitats. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This is great news. Fishers Peak will now be the 42nd @COParksWildlife state park in Colorado. https://t.co/7irvvTNS7i — PolitiTweet.org

Attention small business owners: If you have not yet received assistance from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), there’s still time to apply for the remaining $134 billion. The deadline to apply has been extended to August 8. https://t.co/terRJfJKgS — PolitiTweet.org

With nearly half of Americans reporting that #COVID19 has had a negative impact on their mental health, now more than ever we must support #MinorityMentalHealth. More information and resources for immediate help are available here ➡️https://t.co/V80WTOVZMk — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Minority communities have less access to mental health services, are less likely to receive care, and are more likely to receive poorer quality of care when they are treated. This needs to change. — PolitiTweet.org

I can't think of a better place to celebrate #ParksandRecreationMonth than Colorado. Hope everyone gets a chance this summer to safely enjoy our great outdoors. #RecreateResponsibly https://t.co/AU5SmZcNYq — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Eliminating the $600 per week unemployment benefit at the end of July would be a catastrophe for workers, families, and our economy. Millions of Americans relying on that support need the Trump administration to stop using them as a bargaining chip. https://t.co/LLDS2ZDm8E — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In June, the Senate voted to fully and permanently fund #LWCF to help us protect more places like Sweetwater Lake for our children and their children to enjoy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The @ConservationFnd’s purchase of Sweetwater Lake is great news – it's the first step to permanently protect the area and improve recreational access. https://t.co/Y8AFuM7Fyb — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone takes a moment to acknowledge the incredible sacrifice so many have made -- and continue to make -- to ensure that every American can enjoy the blessings of freedom and democracy. https://t.co/K0ZZBx8to0 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Without extending expanded unemployment benefits, almost half of American families would not be able to cover 3 months of expenses. That's why ending the additional $600 per week benefit would be a profound mistake. https://t.co/gkIz3xduKh — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Recommend this Frederick Douglass speech from July 5, 1852 over the long weekend. It speaks to the pain of those who still don't fully share in the blessings of freedom, while never giving up hope that America can and must live up to its highest ideals. https://t.co/BGajvIeEhB https://t.co/kRuweFnFU5 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for your leadership. It sets a standard for what we need to do in Washington. We should follow Colorado’s example and pass the Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans lack access to high-speed broadband—disproportionately from rural areas, Tribal communities, & communities of color. My BRIDGE Act will help overcome the digital divide by investing in a 21st century broadband infrastructure. https://t.co/YVTQIt7W8k — PolitiTweet.org

America needs a coherent strategy to deploy 5G in a way that benefits the entire country and strengthens our global competitiveness. Today I asked @AjitPaiFCC to answer criticisms from the Government Accountability Office about the FCC's strategy to date.https://t.co/6wrYT8roCw — PolitiTweet.org

The RESTART Act is the first and only bipartisan bill to help sustain the hardest-hit businesses and nonprofits—those with substantial revenue losses—through the end of the year and into 2021. It should be included in the next package. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Our country’s hardest-hit businesses, just like Rich and Jessica's, are running out of cash and time—crunching numbers and unsure how they’ll make it through the next month. https://t.co/07Nhh2SeXP — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

NEWS: @SenToddYoung & I have added 10 more bipartisan cosponsors to our RESTART Act to help hard-hit small businesses survive the pandemic. Restaurants, concert venues, & mom-and-pops need sustained support, so temporary job loss doesn't become permanent. https://t.co/9r2N7zebqZ — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, Coloradans voted safely in record numbers in our state's primary election. We didn't have long lines or major problems. We announced the results quickly. #VoteByMail works for us and it can work for America. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of following the science, the Trump Administration is ignoring the experts. My colleagues and I are urging the EPA reverse course and protect us from dangerous air pollution. https://t.co/YAfYMCOQPZ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

A new study found that air pollution exposure increases the chances of premature and stillborn babies, with Black mothers and babies at even higher risk. Expert recommendations and extensive science show we need a stronger air quality standard. https://t.co/3Ip803D6gb — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the right thing for workers and families who are wondering how they’re going to get through this tough time. And it’s the right thing for the broader economy to come back as strongly as it can as we work toward a vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
