According to the FCC, more than 21 million Americans lack access to high-speed internet, though that number may be much higher. If we’re ever going to bridge the digital divide, we’ll need a better understanding of the issue at hand. — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, Senate Dems intro'd bill to address the root causes of violence in these countries, while also requiring accountability from Northern Triangle govts to ensure they are taking appropriate steps to combat corruption & address irregular migration https://t.co/cSjXHO5STJ — PolitiTweet.org

What a terrible decision. Cutting aid to the Northern Triangle countries will only send more refugees to our border. We must address the root causes of the current crisis. Sadly, the Admin’s decision will only make things worse. — PolitiTweet.org

This new building and the research that will take place in it is why I will continue to fight for an increase in biomedical research funding and why I introduced the American Cures Act and American Innovation Act. https://t.co/6IcJeJtaPG — PolitiTweet.org

This is frightening - robocalls are completely out of control. Passing the bipartisan TRACED Act was a step in the right direction, but Congress needs to build on those reforms by empowering Americans to hold these illegal callers accountable. Enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Four years have passed since the devastating shooting at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, and my heart still breaks for the innocent victims and their families. We must pass commonsense gun safety legislation and we must stand up to racism and hatred in all forms. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday marked the longest period in U.S. history – 10 years – since Congress has increased the federal minimum wage. Nobody can live on $7.25 an hour. It’s time for Congress to #RaiseTheWage. https://t.co/g73ZI6sNMQ — PolitiTweet.org

But Senate Republican Leader McConnell has refused to let the Senate vote on the universal gun background check bill. The Senate should call a vote on this important legislation to help make our country and communities safer. https://t.co/cBe67UfhPW — PolitiTweet.org

97 percent of Americans support universal background checks for gun sales. The House of Representatives passed a bipartisan universal background check bill that would close the gun show and internet loopholes and require a FBI background check for all firearm transfers. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s shameful that drug companies would rather sue the government than disclose their drug prices. Big Pharma needs to level with the American public. Requiring price tags in TV ads is about transparency and lowering costs. I fully support HHS’ decision. — PolitiTweet.org
