Today, a partisan minority blocked the bipartisan #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct that protects the fundamental right to vote of every American. As long as our democracy is at risk, we must find a path forward for this legislation and the #FreedomToVoteAct. My full statement: https://t.co/Yjc1ixpz5l — PolitiTweet.org

This bill should invest in our families and our future — not provide giveaways for the wealthy few. The House’s SALT proposal cuts taxes for millionaires and billionaires on the backs of low-income and middle-income families. We should fix this in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I’ve spent over a decade in the Senate fighting to invest in our public lands, the bedrock of our economy in Colorado. Now we're on the cusp of making the largest single investment in our National Forests ever. Let’s get it done. #BuildBackBetter — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Davidson served as my Chief of Staff for over a decade with integrity, discipline and drive. Today, I was able to preside over the Senate as he was confirmed to lead legislative affairs at @USTreasury. Great things are ahead for the country because of Jon's leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I have continued to work hard with my colleagues in the Senate and the House to get a deal on lowering prescription drug costs for Coloradans. We’re going to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Thrilled to see the EPA following Colorado’s leadership on cutting powerful methane pollution from new and existing oil and gas operations. We must continue to limit this harmful pollutant to protect the health of our communities and combat climate change. https://t.co/I5WRHwhQBb — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been 55 days since the Texas abortion ban has gone into effect. It’s unconstitutional and a creates a dangerous precedent for people seeking reproductive health care. SCOTUS must step in and block it. https://t.co/rqW9eMqUXR — PolitiTweet.org

The American people voted for change. Now let's deliver it. #BuildBackBetter — PolitiTweet.org

🧟Zombies are for Halloween costumes, not political campaigns. But today, former candidates can use $ from old campaigns to buy influence in our democracy. This week I'll introduce the ZOMBIE Act (Zeroing Out Money to Buy Influence After Elections) to end those accounts for good. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We must do more to support our veterans and their families. @SenatorHick and I are urging @DeptVetAffairs to ensure families who have tragically lost a veteran to suicide have timely access to survivor benefits: https://t.co/TWsIgdxFdF — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth is a reminder that regular cancer screenings can make all the difference. That's why I introduced legislation to ensure people on Medicare can access early detection tests. This is critical to saving lives and costs for Coloradans. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Americans pay more for prescription drugs than anyone in the world. It's a burden on our seniors and an embarrassment for the nation. That's why I'm fighting to make sure we act to lower drug prices in the #BuildBackBetter package. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In March, I wrote @USDA urging it to spend limited federal funds on broadband projects that can actually meet the high speeds & standards families need in the 21st century. I applaud @SecVilsack for doing just that in the latest round of ReConnect funding. https://t.co/pbT1jR9xcj — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

From cutting child poverty to investing in our national forests, the #BuildBackBetter framework shows the American people that Washington can work for them. I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to make this historic investment in our families and infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As we transition to clean energy, we must invest in rural communities & #EmpowerEnergyWorkers who have sustained our economy for decades. @SenSherrodBrown & I introduced a bill with our colleagues to ensure energy workers are at the center of our approach:https://t.co/gKnyQBOFk2 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I'm grateful to @SenSherrodBrown, @SenBooker, @SenatorWarnock, @rosadelauro, @RepDelBene, and @RepRitchie who have been incredible partners in this fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Before this year, 27M kids lived in families too poor to receive the full Child Tax Credit. The President's framework would make those kids eligible for the entire amount forever. Not 1 or 2 years. Every year. Let's get it done and make lasting progress against child poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Family caregivers provide care for their loved ones while balancing jobs, family responsibilities, and expenses. Grateful for @SenatorWarnock, @SenatorSinema, @SenatorHassan and @Sen_JoeManchin's support for #CreditForCaring, which will help ease that financial burden. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I'm grateful to have the support of @GovofCO, @COWaterCongress, and many others as we work to get this done. Read letters of support for this historic investment here: https://t.co/0drcAtw9DG — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

For decades, Washington has failed to invest in our forests. That’s why I’ve continued to push for major investments in our forests and watersheds in the #BuildBackBetter budget to reduce wildfire risk and address the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Three years ago, 11 lives were taken during the horrific, anti-Semitic attack on Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Synagogue. Everyone deserves to live and worship free from fear or violence. We have a responsibility to stand up to hate and work to end gun violence in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

$0. That is what 55 of the largest corporations paid in taxes last year — less than every teacher, nurse, and firefighter in America. Our bill ends that by creating a minimum corporate tax so that the biggest businesses finally pay their fair share. https://t.co/hIXQh66kFW — PolitiTweet.org

I'm confident that @RetaJoLewis has the qualifications needed to serve as President and Chair of the Export-Import Bank. Her previous experience in both global and domestic affairs has prepared her to lead @EximBankUS as it works to create jobs and support American companies. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The @DailySentinelGJ editorial board is right — we need an economy-wide carbon price to combat climate change. As the climate crisis continues to affect Western Colorado's economy and way of life, I'm pushing to include it in the #BuildBackBetter budget. https://t.co/wIIm0wNztt — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: If you are not required to file taxes, you can now sign up for advance #ChildTaxCredit payments through Nov. 15. This is transforming lives in Colorado and across the country, so don't miss out! Sign up: English: https://t.co/sC1ePd3RBf Spanish: https://t.co/gz8oBjB7cF — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is a global security threat that puts U.S. strategic interests at risk. It's straining water resources, fueling natural disasters, and increasing the likelihood of refugee crises, conflict, and instability. The world has to act – and U.S. leadership is critical. https://t.co/nIjEICuv6U — PolitiTweet.org

I'm thrilled to welcome Sweetwater Lake as Colorado's 43rd state park! I pushed to fully fund the #LWCF for over a decade to support projects like this that will improve recreational access, boost local economies, and help protect our outdoors for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org
