We must provide wrap-around services to the children of Flint in order to ensure they have the tools to succeed. I will continue supporting the Flint Lead Registry championed by my good friend @MonaHannaA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

No amount of money can compensate for the loss & pain Flint families have been forced to endure from a preventable, man-made crisis. While this settlement is an important step, the work is not over. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Let’s not forget: the GOP & Trump Admin lawsuit seeks to end protections for pre-existing conditions and would raise health care costs—during a pandemic. The stakes in this case couldn’t be higher. I will keep fighting for quality, affordable health care for Michiganders. — PolitiTweet.org

@cher You better BELIEVE I’m going to help protect the Postal Service. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

🚨 This is alarming.🚨 Postmaster General DeJoy owes the people of Grand Rapids and Michiganders answers about why sorting machines have been removed and if he will return this equipment vital to getting mail to people in a timely manner. #DontMessWithUSPS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The @USPS is the only carrier that delivers to every address in #MI & rural communities rely on that service. Changes should be based on facts & helping Michiganders w/ timely delivery—but it was clear the changes proposed by the Postmaster General were not. #DontMessWithUSPS https://t.co/HxRvsNsaTC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The stories I heard from postal workers through my investigation were unacceptable. Let’s be clear: there are still unanswered questions—like whether removed equipment will be returned. I’m going to keep pressing for answers and next steps at Friday’s hearing. #DontMessWithUSPS https://t.co/kpgcgpUADI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

While it is a positive development that Postmaster General DeJoy says he will be temporarily rolling back some harmful Postal Service changes, as I have demanded – there are still too many unanswered questions. READ my statement: https://t.co/5qJrHWLlO9 https://t.co/kU1uju3L22 — PolitiTweet.org

As we recognize the 100th anniversary of the #19thAmendment, we must redouble our efforts to protect voting rights and ensure women—and all Americans—can exercise their constitutional right to vote. #WomensVote100 — PolitiTweet.org

🚨BREAKING🚨 As @HSGAC Ranking Member—I called on Postmaster General DeJoy to testify before our Committee—and am pleased to have secured an oversight hearing with him on Friday. He must answer urgent questions about @USPS postal delivery delays harming Michiganders & Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Veterans in Michigan and across the country are reporting significant delays in receiving @DeptVetAffairs mail-order prescriptions. This is inexcusable. I’m calling on Postmaster General DeJoy to stop operational changes that are harming veterans. https://t.co/HxVgkyjbSq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I am happy to hear that the Administration has finally decided to expand its use of the Defense Production Act, which I called for in March. This decision will finally get our great American manufacturers, including many in Michigan, activated to help us contain this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Changes directed by Trump-selected Postmaster General are seriously impacting Michiganders who rely on timely mail service to: 💼Run small businesses 💵Receive paychecks 💊Get prescription drugs Today, I called on the Postal Board of Governors to reverse @USPS service changes. https://t.co/DwRcqjwz7a — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I won’t rest until we get answers from the Trump-selected Postmaster General on why he’s directed changes that are slowing mail delivery. Timely mail service is crucial for Michiganders and I’m fighting to protect it. #DontMessWithUSPS https://t.co/2LohyIgq0d — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This is about people being able to count on reliable and timely mail delivery. It’s why I’m demanding answers and calling for a hearing with Postmaster General DeJoy ASAP & working to pass legislation to stop these harmful service changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Leader McConnell should call the Senate back into session this week so we can work in a bipartisan manner to pass urgently needed COVID relief and postal legislation. This is about the well being and livelihood of Michiganders. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The changes put in place by the new Postmaster General are undermining dependable service, which Michiganders rely on. I introduced a bill that would block the Postmaster from making abrupt operational changes that would harm people & small businesses during this pandemic. https://t.co/a1RlhTePBt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I’m calling on Chairman Johnson to hold an urgent @HSGAC hearing on August 21 or ASAP with @USPS Postmaster General DeJoy on recent service changes, after hearing from thousands of Americans & Michiganders who are struggling with delayed mail. Americans deserve answers now. https://t.co/yKKRBIhciq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Michiganders and veterans rely on @USPS for prescription drugs, bills & payments, small business deliveries – the list goes on and on. Especially during a pandemic, this is simply wrong. This decision needs to be reversed. https://t.co/BfIgGMMq6e — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy & we need to do everything we can to help them weather this pandemic. Proud of the work BAJ Glass is doing to help get through this economic & health crisis. So many #MI small businesses have stepped up—I’ll keep fighting for them. https://t.co/hm5pt3Cva0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Veterans who receive prescription drugs in the mail from @DeptVetAffairs are reporting significant postal delays and that’s absolutely unacceptable. I’m looking into this as part of my investigation. https://t.co/JA2tSJdnDw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Unless we work together to overturn these Postal Service changes, we could lose this critical lifeline that so many Michiganders and Americans count on each and every day. We can’t let that happen! I’m fighting to protect @USPS. #DontMessWithUSPS — PolitiTweet.org

We must continue working toward a two-state solution that can ensure Israel’s security needs and Palestinian national aspirations. A meaningful peace agreements would benefit both parties and the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Yesterday’s agreement is an important, positive step for both the UAE and Israel. I’m pleased the agreement included Israel halting any plans to annex the West Bank—something I wrote to Israeli leaders urging them to reconsider earlier this year. — PolitiTweet.org
