In 1969, thousands of people risked their lives at #Stonewall to fight abuse and systemic discrimination against the LGBTQ community. Their bravery ignited a movement. Over 50 years later, we must enshrine protections for LGBTQ Americans into law. Let's pass the #EqualityAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Delighted that five Native American tribes will now have a long overdue role in helping to manage Bears Ears National Monument. Our tribes deserve a strong voice in how these lands are managed, and I'm grateful to @BLMNational for making this possible. https://t.co/KVwh5fDqlv — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, the Supreme Court stripped women of their individual liberty to make intensely personal decisions about their bodies and futures. This is an emergency. @POTUS must take immediate action to protect the fundamental right to choose. https://t.co/MkCAP5FrzS — PolitiTweet.org

The Supreme Court ruling on Roe denies women freedom, liberty, and human rights. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨ICYMI: The Senate voted unanimously to extend free school and summer meals. As costs continue to rise, these programs are absolutely essential to make sure our kids are healthy and fed. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, a radical majority of the Supreme Court demolished fifty years of legal precedent. My full statement on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization: https://t.co/QmQixYdTvf — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

For years, Congress has ignored Americans' reasonable demands to address gun violence. Tonight, for the first time in a generation, we’ve made real progress. This bipartisan rejection of the NRA is long overdue. https://t.co/lv5XeEuPLj — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In 2020, the leading cause of death for kids in America was guns. Not car accidents. Not drugs. Guns. We cannot continue to fail our kids. Let's pass this bipartisan bill to protect our communities. https://t.co/XLfAO8HWhG — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I urge the Biden Administration to devote the full resources of our government to ensure a thorough investigation to uncover the circumstances of Ms. Akleh’s death and provide answers that her family, and the American people, deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The death of the American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is tragic and reprehensible. Freedom of the press demands safety for the press and journalists who put their lives at risk to report dangerous stories. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I'm speaking on the Senate floor to voice strong support for the bipartisan bill to reduce gun violence in America. It will invest in mental health programs, close the boyfriend loophole, & strengthen school safety. Let's get it done. https://t.co/h6C0y1O0bn — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

SCOTUS just sided with the gun lobby at a time when the U.S. faces horrendous levels of gun violence and the American people are demanding action to protect our communities. Today's decision underscores the need for Congress to confront this epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

#OTD 23 years ago, the Supreme Court held in #Olmstead v. L.C. that people with disabilities have a right to be fully integrated into their communities. To protect and expand this right, I’m working with disability rights advocates to pass the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today @SenateFinance passed the EARN Act, which includes 5 of my bipartisan bills to help low- & middle-income families prepare for the future. Our economy has left many Americans living paycheck to paycheck & unable to save. This will help more Coloradans retire with dignity. https://t.co/gftOGTTEZ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

High gas prices are hurting Coloradans, and we must do everything we can to provide them relief. Congress should act swiftly to suspend the federal gas tax temporarily to lower costs and take steps to hold large oil companies accountable to ensure these savings reach consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The Senate should move quickly to pass this common-sense, bipartisan legislation to address gun violence in America. My full statement on the bipartisan gun safety package: https://t.co/ivYt5zqF1c — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Over 1 million Colorado kids benefited from the expanded #ChildTaxCredit. New data show half of the overall benefits went to low-income households across America to help cover the rising cost of raising a family. For our kids, I'm doing everything I can to make this permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Colorado’s wildland firefighters risk their lives to protect our communities—and as climate change fuels increasingly severe fires, their jobs have only grown more dangerous. With this Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding, we'll ensure they receive the compensation they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This is exactly why I chaired a hearing earlier this month to call attention to extreme drought conditions in Colorado. And I’ll continue to fight for Coloradans until Washington steps up to address climate change and protect the American West. https://t.co/ZN7amjfofD — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

#WorldRefugeeDay means a lot to me. My mom and grandparents came to America after fleeing Poland during WWII. They came here to rebuild their shattered lives. This day reminds us that we need an immigration system that welcomes the persecuted and upholds the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Our kids are in the middle of a mental and behavioral health crisis. I hear about it everywhere I go in Colorado. We need to do everything we can to give them the resources and support they need. https://t.co/mV5vL8ob1V — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Last year, the U.S. finally recognized #Juneteenth as a critical part of our nation’s history & designated it a federal holiday. It's a reminder of our duty to build a country that strives with every action to undo the legacy that the atrocities of slavery and racism have left. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This generation is growing up with a reasonable fear that they could be gunned down in a classroom, movie theater, or grocery store. My generation didn't grow up having to carry that burden, and we can't accept it for our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

For years, I led the effort to protect Chimney Rock as a National Monument. Since its designation, I've continued to advocate for the resources needed to complete a visitor center that the Monument deserves. Can't wait to stop by soon. https://t.co/zo8D7GfJaq — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today I joined Colorado veterans to celebrate Senate passage of the Honoring Our PACT Act—a historic investment to help ensure veterans suffering from toxic exposure-related conditions have access to the care they need. I'm calling on the House to swiftly pass this crucial bill. https://t.co/6Zik6CBUdd — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, we remember the nine parishioners killed at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church seven years ago in an unspeakable act of hate. It’s our responsibility to stand up against racism and evil in our country and pass common sense gun legislation to prevent future tragedies. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, @POTUS signed our bill to hold shipping companies accountable as they exploit supply chains and drive up costs for Colorado businesses and consumers. This is an important step toward lowering prices for Coloradans. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Wonderful news — the Senate passed the PACT Act today. This bill will help ensure that veterans across generations, who suffer from toxic exposure-related conditions, have access to the health care they have earned and deserve. This is a historic win for our veterans. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

SOON: Join me, @ProtectWinters President @jeremyjones, and professional mountaineer Dani Reyes-Acosta to call for climate action. Tune in at 10:30 a.m. MT on Instagram➡️ https://t.co/n5V0ySkFat — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Pleased that the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Judge Nina Wang's nomination to Colorado's US District Court. She has the experience, intellect, and integrity to uphold the rule of law & serve the people of Colorado. I urge the Senate to confirm her with a bipartisan vote. — PolitiTweet.org
