Over 2M Coloradans live in a community that does not have enough mental health professionals. Everywhere I go in the state, people tell me that the mental health crisis is only growing. This is a direct result of our inadequate mental health system. #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change combined with a century of fire suppression & a lack of resources has fueled extreme wildfires in Colorado. We must pass the $40B for our forests in the #BuildBackBetter Act, based on my & @RepJasonCrow's Outdoor Restoration Partnership Act.https://t.co/7ZoicW0A3G — PolitiTweet.org

RENTERS: It can be difficult to find programs in your area that help cover your housing costs. If you or a loved one is in need of #RentHelp, I encourage you to use @CFPB's tool to find rental assistance programs near you: https://t.co/Cw5jA72laZ — PolitiTweet.org

On average, two people a day in Colorado have died due to a fentanyl overdose during the first six months of 2021. My heart breaks for those we have lost and my thoughts are with their loved ones. We need to do everything we can to end this epidemic. https://t.co/nHEHgo2pTf — PolitiTweet.org

In the 1990s, Linda Alvarado became the first woman to win a bid on a @MLB team, the @Rockies, and became the league's first Hispanic team owner. Linda is an inspiration, breaking barriers in both her career and the MLB to make history. #HispanicHeritageMonth 📸: @smithsonian https://t.co/OYYnIItUSo — PolitiTweet.org

The internment of Japanese Americans during WWII at camps like Amache in Colorado is a dark period in our history that we cannot forget. Tomorrow in Colorado, survivors are invited to sign American flags that will be donated to @JAMsjOfficial. More info: https://t.co/cYlBIWKA2d — PolitiTweet.org

The #COVID19 pandemic and resulting economic crisis made clear that our unemployment system is inadequate and unreliable for workers when they lose a job. Our proposal is an essential first step toward modernizing the system and making critical reforms to protect workers. — PolitiTweet.org

The erosion of democratic norms in Nicaragua is unacceptable. My colleagues and I are urging @SecBlinken to increase efforts to secure the immediate release of Francisco Aguirre-Sacasa & other political prisoners targeted by the Ortega regime. Our letter: https://t.co/jCh4pXLfcw — PolitiTweet.org

Coloradans have told me time and again about their financially devastating health care bills. That's why I worked for years on a solution to end surprise billing, which became law last year. This is a great next step from the administration. https://t.co/FDpRasj1vA — PolitiTweet.org

Corky Gonzales was a community leader who dedicated his life to fighting for civil rights, justice and equality. This is a fantastic tribute! #HispanicHeritageMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Four years ago, 60 lives were taken in the deadliest mass shooting in US history. Since then, Congress has not taken action to reduce gun violence. Our communities deserve better. Congress must address this public health threat & pass common-sense gun legislation. #VegasStrong — PolitiTweet.org

#ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth reminds us that location shouldn't stop families from accessing the best care for their kids. Our bipartisan Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act will ensure kids with complex medical conditions receive the treatment they need wherever they are. — PolitiTweet.org

Colorado is leading our shift to a clean energy economy with advancements in renewable energy technologies like onshore wind. My bill will build on Colorado's progress, create good-paying clean energy jobs here at home and help us meet our climate goals. https://t.co/hIExUgaV59 — PolitiTweet.org

Serious questions remain about how this decision was made, the cost, and its effect on our ability to respond to critical and escalating threats in space. https://t.co/0H0wx7xrbT — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @SenatorHick, @RepJasonCrow, @RepJoeNeguse, @RepDianaDeGette, @RepPerlmutter, @RepDLamborn, @RepBoebert, and I are asking @SecAFOfficial to suspend the previous admin's decision to move U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama until the admin conducts a thorough review. https://t.co/9EQ3UccWMz — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

.@SecYellen is absolutely right. Year after year, the debt limit creates a manufactured political crisis that does nothing but threaten our economy. That’s why @BrianSchatz, @ChrisVanHollen, and I have a bill to abolish it altogether. https://t.co/MQhsohbwgx — PolitiTweet.org

From wildfires to our water supply, climate change is affecting Colorado now. If we don't act, I worry we won't be able to recognize it soon. The #BuildBackBetter Act will invest $40B in our forests, based on my Outdoor Restoration Partnership Act, to build climate resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

.@CLLAROQueSi is a wonderful program in Colorado, working to help students from underrepresented communities obtain public leadership roles in the state. Tomorrow is the application deadline for the Spring 2022 session. Apply today! #HispanicHeritageMonth https://t.co/A6FK0FUh1B — PolitiTweet.org

Great to have @NewDemCoalition's support for my and @RepJasonCrow's Outdoor Restoration Partnership Act. We need to pass the $40B investment in our forests and watersheds in the #BuildBackBetter Act, based on #ORPA, to reduce wildfire risk and protect our water supply. — PolitiTweet.org

The @WSJ editorial criticizing the #ChildTaxCredit fundamentally misconceives the state of our economy and the struggles of American families. I think readers deserve a fuller picture. Here's the letter I wrote in response: https://t.co/U9JVyqZmB5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight every Senate Republican voted to shut down the government and shred the full faith and credit of the United States — for politics. Instead of working in a bipartisan manner, @LeaderMcConnell is demolishing another norm and putting our nation’s economy at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The #ChildTaxCredit expansion is transformative. It's cutting child poverty in half and helping families put food on the table. I had a great discussion with @NoKidHungry's @BillShore about the CTC on the @AddPassionStir podcast: https://t.co/HPx1I8gD0y — PolitiTweet.org

Agriculture is vital to Colorado’s economy but climate change is fueling extreme weather & drought, threatening the future of our farms and ranches. For the sake of our food supply, farmers & ranchers, and our way of life, we need to act boldly on climate.https://t.co/W72pcwaCrT — PolitiTweet.org
