Today the Republicans in the Senate blocked a resolution that would protect the nearly 800,000 people in West Virginia with a pre-existing condition. But as their Senator, I cannot allow a rewrite of health insurance rules that will put their coverage at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

I had the opportunity to Skype with students from Scott High School today. Thank you for your great questions & for sharing your thoughts and concerns with me. https://t.co/g7V9uu23DN — PolitiTweet.org

Our retired miners worked for and earned their pensions. It’s their money – and my bill, the #AmericanMinersAct, will keep the promise we’ve made to our miners. #APensionIsAPromise https://t.co/0Bw7AleO8L — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: Our country’s broken bankruptcy laws allow companies to maximize profits while walking away from their pension obligations. Learn how my bill, the Stop Looting American Pensions (SLAP) Act, will put our workers first. https://t.co/inh4dZLDoJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

WATCH: When companies go bankrupt, employees who invested in pensions should be at the front of the line for their money - not the back. My bill, the SLAP Act, will ensure that money invested in employees’ pensions goes to those who worked for it. https://t.co/42vwmaWPKm — PolitiTweet.org

With today’s announcement of Murray Energy’s bankruptcy, the timeline for the UMWA Pension Fund's insolvency has accelerated. As soon as this time next year, pension checks could be cut or eliminated. That's why we must act now to pass the #AmericanMinersAct. #APensionIsAPromise https://t.co/dVsEkIpJh0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

I’m proud of the fact that today's announcement of nearly $9.5M through the US Dept. of Defense awarded to @Constellium ensures that aluminum that comes from Jackson Co will continue to be used in equipment that protects US troops all over the world. MORE: https://t.co/FmyRZDIpRE — PolitiTweet.org

Watch to learn more about the SLAP Act, which will fix our bankruptcy laws and put working people first. @Morning_Joe https://t.co/5iPyENS3gG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

My bill, the SLAP Act, is needed because companies like Murray Energy are using the bankruptcy laws to shirk their pension obligations. It’s a vicious cycle that must end. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Murray Energy, the largest coal company in the United States, filed for bankruptcy. If Murray rejects the UMWA pension plan obligations in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the UMWA pension fund will be insolvent by 2020. Before last night it was projected to be insolvent by 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

TUNE IN: I’ll be on @Morning_Joe at 8:20am to talk about my bill to reform the bankruptcy laws to put workers at the front of the line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

The average pension is less than $600 a month. Our retired miners were promised their pensions. It's time for Mitch McConnell to bring the #AmericanMinersAct up for a vote and keep the promise to our miners. #APensionIsAPromise https://t.co/407wascmh2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch must ACT NOW to get the #AmericanMinersAct to @realDonaldTrump's desk for him to sign! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

I know that President Trump supports our coal miners and their families. But, our miners are at the mercy of Mitch McConnell who has refused to move common sense legislation to protect the miners. — PolitiTweet.org
