Proud to join my Democratic colleagues in advancing the #ButchLewisAct to fix the multiemployer pension plan crisis, which has set up 1.5 million Americans to lose their retirement savings. Retirees shouldn't live in fear that their hard-earned pensions are at risk of collapse! https://t.co/FPFXI5KZgw — PolitiTweet.org

#OTD in 1868, the #14thAmendment was ratified, extending citizenship to former slaves, guaranteeing all citizens equal protection under the law & setting the stage for landmark #SCOTUS cases like #BrownvBoard & #RoevWade. Let us continue the fight to ensure #EqualityForAll! — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know which 'environmental leadership' policies @realDonaldTrump was referring to today, but they certainly aren’t his. From a proposed slashing of Everglades restoration, 80+ regulatory rollbacks, to #ParisAgreement withdrawal -his record is dire. https://t.co/tVp9L2PeB3 — PolitiTweet.org

On #IndependenceDay, we commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 and honor our nation’s founding democratic values. Let's reflect on how we can all make America a more diverse, inclusive & just beacon of hope for the world. Happy Fourth of July! https://t.co/hfx3GUORIX — PolitiTweet.org

Since its enactment, the Endangered Species Act has saved more than 99% of species under its care from extinction. So why is the @realDonaldTrump Administration moving to gut it via the #TrumpExtinctionPlan? RT to tell @SecBernhardt: HANDS OFF the #ESA! #StopExtinction https://t.co/4EEcFgvB1r — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1964, President LBJ signed the #CivilRightsAct into law, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. We must recommit to protecting the #civilrights of all Americans by supporting bills like the #EqualityAct & a stronger #VRA! — PolitiTweet.org

In a huge step forward for our nation, #SCOTUS has ruled against adding the #CitizenshipQuestion to #Census2020. But the fight isn’t over-we must ensure that everyone is counted & the voices of our communities of color are heard. The future of our democracy depends on it!#WeCount — PolitiTweet.org

June 26th has seen #SCOTUS hand down 3 landmark victories for LGBTQ Americans in the past 20 years – ensuring marriage equality, decriminalizing same-sex couples & overturning DOMA. Let’s take #PrideInProgress we’ve made towards LGBTQ equality & make today #LGBTQEqualityDay! https://t.co/BvUAQdddTP — PolitiTweet.org

Alcee L. Hastings @RepHastingsFL

I was pleased to join @RepDelBene in co-sponsoring a resolution commemorating June 26th as #LGBTQEqualityDay. Today, we honor how far we’ve come & pledge to continue to fight to accomplish full #LGBTQ equality! #PrideinProgress https://t.co/SnAmE25enO — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I joined @RepRashida as a cosponsor of the #BOOSTAct. Working class families shouldn't have to struggle every day just to get by. This bill would lift over 3 million children & 9 million families out of poverty - cutting poverty by 45% & helping our communities thrive! — PolitiTweet.org
