We must make all efforts to secure the Kabul airport so civilian & military aircraft can evacuate those in need. Now is not the time for red tape & bureaucracy—we need to move people to safety now. 2/5 — PolitiTweet.org

As the Taliban seizes Afghanistan, our immediate priority must be evacuating all U.S. personnel, servicemembers & citizens, as well as the vulnerable Afghan women leaders, journalists, civil society advocates & democracy activists who are at immediate & direct risk. 1/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrating a big birthday for Social Security, I’m helping lead a companion bill to my friend/fellow CT advocate @RepJohnLarson—expanding benefits & assuring solvency. A historic opportunity to make this all-American insurance program protect seniors against poverty’s ravages. — PolitiTweet.org

An insufficient plan to minimally safeguard Afghans who risked all to protect Americans—in the midst of a rushed, confused withdrawal—seems unacceptable. I listened today to heartbreaking stories from Afghan refugees about this humanity nightmare—it’s on us to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

I stood today with Afghan refugees worried sick about their families as the Taliban victory puts a target on their backs—torture & murder ahead. They aided American forces. Now America must protect them. — PolitiTweet.org

America is failing Afghan interpreters, guards, & others who stood strong & served our troops, braving mortal danger & saving lives. Not evacuating & saving them now is an unconscionable moral stain. https://t.co/3gdzvNI2s0 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s unacceptable that some of our veterans have waited over a decade for much-needed reimbursements. By compelling the VA to pay for emergency care, the Veterans Emergency Care Reimbursement Act will provide them & their families with the support they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s simple fairness & common sense that veterans’ emergency health care expenses be covered by the VA when they aren’t covered by private insurance. I’m proud to lead legislation w/ @RepDebDingell to right the legal & moral failure of making our vets foot the bill. https://t.co/b1pYe50aja — PolitiTweet.org

For years, Apple & Google have owned the rails of our app economy—exercising gatekeeper control of the multi-billion dollar market to privilege their own apps & take hefty commissions from third-party developers. It's time to break their ironclad grip. https://t.co/z2jZ3uezBU — PolitiTweet.org
