Why are we continuing to provide the Cuban Gov’t with excuses to blame us for their failing economy, and to crack down on their own people?  It’s a mistake to continue the failed Trump policy.  https://t.co/0nKC90sNoQ — PolitiTweet.org

Engaging with #Cuba does not mean agreeing with its repressive system.  It means having confidence in the power of our ideas, in the character of the American people, and in the perseverance of the Cuban people.  The embargo has achieved nothing positive for them or us. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

The White House is right to defend the human rights and aspirations of the Cuban people, but it is using the same tactics that failed for 60 years and that are making their lives even worse.  We should learn from our mistakes. — PolitiTweet.org

I proudly cosponsored the #VOCAfix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund of 2021. Today I asked AG Garland about DOJ's implementation of #VOCAfix & was pleased to hear that MORE THAN $200M has been deposited into CVF bc of our law. This is an important win for survivors & advocates. — PolitiTweet.org

White-nose syndrome, a disease that has killed millions of bats in N. America since its discovery in 2007, has been confirmed in 6 species found in #VT, including 2 threatened and endangered species. That’s why I make a priority of combating #WNS in #Appropriations bills. #Batman — PolitiTweet.org

Bats provide important pest suppression services to Vermont farmers. A 2011 study estimates that the value of bats to Vermont’s agricultural industry is $32.1 million each year. @USFWS — PolitiTweet.org

The Nicaraguan people deserve a free and fair election. But under these conditions, they won’t get one. Read more about the innocent opposition leaders who have been locked up and silenced for months, HERE: https://t.co/MM589TBGji — PolitiTweet.org

On Nov 7, Nicaraguans will go to the polls to elect their next leaders. But Pres. Daniel Ortega has imprisoned most of his opponents to ensure the election has only one outcome: reelection for himself and his wife, VP Rosario Murillo. — PolitiTweet.org

Another #BatWeek sundown is just hours away. #Bats help us in countless ways. Controlling insects. Pollinating our crops. Tackling their sharp decline is one of our most pressing conservation challenges, which is why I work to tackle #WNS. https://t.co/gBH2sjYLaq #Batman https://t.co/OXZqOa7RPd — PolitiTweet.org

I am so pleased to see these important grants to help fight White Nose Syndrome, which has decimated bat populations in #VT and across the nation. It’s why I work to fund this work. #WNS https://t.co/gBH2sjYLaq #Appropriations https://t.co/wDQFXeDmdJ https://t.co/kOjlRJoUC0 — PolitiTweet.org
