It is unconscionable that in 2021, there is still a gender wage gap in our country. That's why we need the #PaycheckFairnessAct to help ensure equal pay for equal work. There is no excuse for my Republican colleagues who blocked this bill today. — PolitiTweet.org

Washington slept on the job while Beijing moved to write the rules of the road from technology to trade. This bill is a comprehensive, bipartisan response to boost US innovation, competition, & security. But it has to be the start of our work, not the end. https://t.co/1eHLjhBd0H — PolitiTweet.org

You love to see it. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm thrilled the Senate confirmed Regina Rodriguez today. I'm confident that the commitment she has shown to Colorado, her community, and the rule of law will make her an exceptional judge on the U.S. District Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Our diplomats and intelligence professionals put themselves in harm's way every day. But when they came under attack, our government met them with bureaucracy instead of the care they needed. This bill is an important step to correct that. https://t.co/7JklWscNvx — PolitiTweet.org

🚨UPDATE: The IRS has started to reach out to families eligible for the newly enhanced #ChildTaxCredit – a policy I‘ve pushed for years. Payments will begin on July 15, and soon, the IRS will share resources to help ensure families receive their benefits👇https://t.co/xzdHIQSgFQ — PolitiTweet.org

We must take action to end sexual violence within the military. My colleagues and I are calling for a full floor vote on the bipartisan Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act. Let's push this bill across the finish line. #PassMJIIPA — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see Colorado businesses like Capitol Theatre opening back up! I'll continue to support small businesses however I can as they reopen across our state. https://t.co/CKFGUuKRzj — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn’t settle for being the oldest democracy in the world. We should be the strongest democracy in the world. That means passing the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Had a great trip to Colorado Springs, meeting with leaders in outdoor recreation and national security innovation –– two industries critical to our state’s diverse economy. When I head back to Washington this week, I look forward to lifting up their work. https://t.co/VwMXn9WNrG — PolitiTweet.org

This June, we celebrate #ImmigrantHeritageMonth and the incredible contributions immigrants have made to our country –– especially during COVID-19. This is a moment to recognize how immigrants have shaped Colorado into a better and stronger state. — PolitiTweet.org

As climate change continues to make natural disasters more severe, our Shelter Act will encourage taxpayers to safeguard their home or small business before natural disasters hit. This will help lower costs for homeowners and small business owners while mitigating damage. https://t.co/t6iPvTTDkS — PolitiTweet.org

This is great news. La Familia in Fort Collins will receive funding from the @EPA to improve local food supply, benefiting the community. I had an opportunity to visit La Familia earlier this year and am thrilled they will receive this assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We are better off investing in wildfire mitigation & forest restoration on the front end than paying the expensive cost of fighting & recovering from catastrophic wildfires. We can do that — and create millions of good-paying jobs — through my Outdoor Restoration Partnership Act. https://t.co/nqWw0YHSAc — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I'm glad to see @POTUS announce that we will share our supply of COVID-19 vaccines abroad to support our international partners. This will save countless lives and is a significant step toward ending the pandemic. https://t.co/ntKo2xtzId — PolitiTweet.org

Renaming Buckley Air Force Base to Buckley Space Force Base is an important step to formally establish Space Force as an essential part of our national security. There’s no better place to establish Space Force’s identity than in Colorado — a leader in space innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month is an opportunity for us to call attention to this terrible disease. I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass legislation to fight Alzheimer's and support patients and their families. #ENDALZ https://t.co/DIEvGZMOZ8 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I'll keep working to pass our Outdoor Restoration Partnership Act to create good-paying jobs in forest and watershed restoration projects across the country, lowering the risk of catastrophic wildfire to protect Colorado’s watersheds and boost the state’s economy. https://t.co/QiaznkM3gs — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Becky said, "Conservation and recreation go hand in hand..." and I couldn't have said it better myself. We need to invest in restoring our forests and watersheds to protect our lands and prevent wildfires like the Bear Creek Fire, which devastated this area. https://t.co/pfeLfcqPWG — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The Pikes Peak Outdoor Recreation Alliance has done excellent work for Colorado's outdoor recreation industry. The members I met with today, including co-founders Becky Leinweber and David Leinweber, understand that healthy forests are critical to maintaining the industry. https://t.co/oGisoV2q6X — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Great to meet with @BluestaqTweets, @Spectrabotics, and Caliola Engineering at the Catalyst Campus today. These innovative Colorado businesses have saved costs for the government as they explore more opportunities to partner with the Air Force and serve military missions. https://t.co/JuHOoB8JZi — PolitiTweet.org

As communities rebuild after this pandemic, PILT funding is more critical than ever to help local governments continue to sustain essential services. @MikeCrapo and I led a bipartisan group of our colleagues in requesting full funding for the program. https://t.co/I68r5KG9xF — PolitiTweet.org

I'm thrilled to see @POTUS block oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Arctic Refuge remains a jewel of our public lands. https://t.co/NI57Nv2RRd — PolitiTweet.org

Today on #LouGehrigDay, we remember every person who has been affected by ALS – a fatal disease with no cure. All of us must commit to finding a cure, and we're closer than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Expanding the #ChildTaxCredit is the most progressive policy to come out of Washington in generations. That's why I'll continue working with @SenSherrodBrown, @SenBooker, @RosaDeLauro, @RepDelBene, and @RepRitchie to make these changes permanent. https://t.co/xEgY1n0ATD — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We must address shameful mental and behavioral health care disparities in this country that have been made worse by COVID-19. My colleagues and I introduced a bill to improve access to treatment and resources for communities of color. More👇 https://t.co/xToLphVsx5 — PolitiTweet.org

This week, we remember the hundreds of Black Americans who were massacred in Tulsa 100 years ago. We will never heal as a country until we confront these dark parts of our history and dismantle the systemic racism that plagues every aspect of our society. https://t.co/Mdq7FsFHPJ — PolitiTweet.org

This first day of #PrideMonth serves as a reminder of how far we have come in the fight for equality. But we still have work to do, including passing the #EqualityAct to finally guarantee protections for LGBTQ Americans. It's past time for the Senate to act. — PolitiTweet.org
