3 years after the horrific shooting at Pulse nightclub our LGBTQ friends & family still face threats of hate & violence. As we mourn those who were lost in the Orlando attack & commemorate Pride Month, we must continue to stamp out radical extremism & protect the LGBTQ community. — PolitiTweet.org

While last week’s ITC ruling was a victory for Michigan cherry growers, they simply can't afford to wait on this legal battle. I’ll keep working to ensure foreign competitors can't use unfair trade practices to undercut our workers, growers or producers. https://t.co/ugraMRP4R6 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been 1 year since #NetNeutrality was repealed, and Leader McConnell still hasn’t allowed a vote on the #SaveTheInternet Act, which passed the House months ago with bipartisan support. It should be put it to a vote in the Senate immediately. https://t.co/Qfl50XRwGq — PolitiTweet.org

Good luck to the @USWNT in their #WWC2019 opener! #OneNationOneTeam — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve met with Michigan cherry growers that have been unfairly disadvantaged by Turkish cherry dumping into the market. This unanimous decision is an important step towards holding bad actors accountable and leveling the playing field. https://t.co/l8Qj5XW5Vn — PolitiTweet.org

.@Google's expansion in Southeast Michigan further cements our state as a growing hub for entrepreneurship & innovation. I’ll continue to focus on ensuring our workforce is equipped with the skills & training needed to fill the jobs of the future. https://t.co/4pXyC2F3vy — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased the Senate unanimously passed a resolution I cosponsored honoring first responders in Michigan & across the nation. These heroes are dedicated to protecting our communities and deserve to be recognized for the sacrifices they have made to keep each & every one of us safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this year, I saw firsthand how Bishop Airport is working to provide safe and efficient travel for hundreds of thousands of travelers each year. I’m pleased that this funding will build on their efforts to support daily operations. https://t.co/ia5FADZhq6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The bipartisan legislation I’m cosponsoring would give the U.S. government the tools needed to hold China accountable for their failure to crack down on the fentanyl producers and distributors who are flooding Michigan communities with this deadly substance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Fentanyl is deadly—and it’s taking the lives of far too many Michiganders. Stopping illicit fentanyl from entering our country is a crucial first step to help save countless American lives from the opioid crisis. https://t.co/5YrWZvsnXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

As more Michiganders enter into the later stages of adulthood & retirement, we need initiatives that help older Americans keep leading healthy & independent lives. My Age-Friendly Communities Act addresses this & has broad support from groups in Michigan & the US. A thread: — PolitiTweet.org

We're from Michigan. We know how to make stuff here. We've got skilled workers & we know how to get things done. I’m pleased the defense bill advancing to the full Senate includes provisions I secured that would support Michigan defense manufacturers. https://t.co/EHyFIaNMPq — PolitiTweet.org

A year ago the Trump Administration joined the lawsuit that would end protections for people with pre-existing health conditions. Michiganders, I want to hear how this would affect you & your family. Submit your story here. https://t.co/eigwtQx4R8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This map shows that Michigan would be the hardest hit state in the country by the President’s proposed tariffs on Mexico. This would harm Michigan’s economy, our autoworkers and their families. I urge the President to reconsider this baseless strategy. https://t.co/xmSMPrpvzn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I'll keep pushing to pass my bipartisan bill that will strengthen the @CommerceGov's ability to self-initiate investigations into unfair trade practices — especially those that impact smaller industries. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I'm glad the ITC decided to continue investigating the dumping of Turkish cherries that has hurt Michigan cherry growers. This is a good step, but our growers can't afford to wait. https://t.co/fp6RGR95iz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Tariffs should be used as a trade tool—not as a tool to address other issues. https://t.co/VWNSozqTDw — PolitiTweet.org

Tragic news out of West Point. Colleen and I send our deepest condolences to the family of the cadet we lost today, and we’re wishing those who were injured a quick recovery. https://t.co/Vu7t53Km5a — PolitiTweet.org

As automation continues to redefine the operations of our companies, we must ensure Michigan workers are prepared for the jobs of the future. My bipartisan bill would help position our workforce & close the skills gap. https://t.co/RUo6g00b39 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Simply put, the President’s proposed tariffs on Mexico would be harmful for Michigan autoworkers and their families. I was on @CNN @AC360 with @JohnBerman talking about the impact on Michigan ↓ https://t.co/9d7TnSvDuH — PolitiTweet.org
