These students speak for America—#DontLookAway. Whether you’re Republican or Democrat, we can’t continue to ignore our nation's epidemic of gun violence. To all of my colleagues, but especially Republicans, we’re at a put up or shut up moment. We need to act—& we need to act now. https://t.co/M7f22gqoAE — PolitiTweet.org

Unacceptable&gut wrenching—every day 110+ Americans are killed w/guns. On National Gun Violence Awareness Day we #WearOrange to honor the victims of this violence&provide a vivid reminder of the urgent need for action. I'll keep fighting for a future free of this deadly scourge. — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of flight cancellations this past holiday weekend raise serious questions about airline decision-making. Ahead of a summer travel surge, @SenMarkey & I are asking the airlines & DOT what's being done to reduce delays & ensure impacted consumers are fully compensated. https://t.co/3KkH8FOSTy — PolitiTweet.org

Deadly drug deals are soaring on social media at an alarming rate. Yesterday I joined addiction prevention & youth advocates to urge Big Tech & federal action. These platforms have an obligation to protect people from unsuspectingly buying & using dangerous fentanyl-laced drugs. https://t.co/Eyttqy0NYa — PolitiTweet.org

A bipartisan compromise would help save lives, even if it isn’t everything we want or should do on gun violence. Our group will continue to grapple with differences, hoping common ground is close. https://t.co/nEKNKRyzfO — PolitiTweet.org
