I grew up in Northern Kentucky, and the Brent Spence Bridge has been a problem for as long as I remember. This bridge feeds our national economy, and we need federal legislation on it. In the Senate, I’ll prioritize Kentuckians. https://t.co/A1C4L39Reh — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch still has not said when he knew about Russia putting bounties on the heads of American service members. Sure would be nice if we had a Senator who would stand up for our troops overseas and hold Russia accountable. #MoscowMitch — PolitiTweet.org

Well, this is going to put a damper on any prospect of the US negotiating a better Iran nuclear deal than the last administration was able to achieve. https://t.co/TNtxNe9xzl — PolitiTweet.org

I miss high fives. But right now, we gotta keep each other safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch is so keen to reopen schools, but if we open without the proper protections, we will likely hit another wave and have to shut down. Again. How can he stop it? Pass the $1.3 BILLION for KY education that’s collecting dust on his desk. — PolitiTweet.org

It took the WHO to eradicate small pox globally. Polio is limited to Pakistan and Afghanistan as the result of this organization. Pulling out of the WHO in the middle of a global COVID-19 pandemic is incompetent foreign policy. Why hasn’t Mitch said so? — PolitiTweet.org

Erik and I watched this last night. We both agree that this has to be the best SWO (Surface Warfare Officer) movie ever. — PolitiTweet.org

It is just a damned shame in this country that a US Army LtCol who told the truth feels forced to resign while a political operative who lied to federal officials gets his sentence commuted. Truth, justice and the American way... not so much this week. — PolitiTweet.org

For less than 1/4th of the tax cuts he gave the richest Americans, we could help schools open nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

There's $1.3 BILLION for KY education sitting on Sen. McConnell’s desk. Schools DON'T have enough PPE to open safely, and with so many KY teachers over 50, many won't return if it's not safe. If Mitch actually wants to help schools, he’d give them what they need to open safely. — PolitiTweet.org

I shouldn’t have to say this, but the public education of American kids should never be used as a pawn to implement Betsy DeVos’ political agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations @JoshMers4KY! — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s work together and wear our masks to keep our loved ones safe and stop the spread of COVID-19. This is an essential step toward fully opening Kentucky’s economy. — PolitiTweet.org

The glue of Kentucky communities are organizations like the @NHLouisville, a community center that serves low-income children and families, and @tableKY, a (delicious) pay-what-you-can restaurant, both in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville. https://t.co/UJNNrgCutW — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

As I travel Kentucky, local officials and residents tell me they need infrastructure to deal with flooding. But out-of-touch Mitch says an infrastructure plan is dead on arrival. https://t.co/CZn5Wb6kBF — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

Authors are right - It doesn’t have to be this way. Kentuckians need help for state and local governments and help for regular people struggling during this covid pandemic. https://t.co/mQv5HjpINB — PolitiTweet.org

Like COVID-19, the opioid epidemic doesn’t just “go away” if you stop paying attention to it. This crisis persists because Mitch is bought out by Big Pharma and didn’t act to hold them responsible. He still isn’t. https://t.co/9U9gQQiRFo — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why from the beginning of this campaign I’ve made sure that everyone on staff (even interns) earns at least $15 an hour and receives health care coverage. Workers’ rights have been hard won, and my campaign is proud to be a part of that movement. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

My campaign staff has started the process of joining the IBEW 369 in Louisville. Unions are the backbone of our state’s economy, and I strongly support the right of workers to organize and engage in collective bargaining. — PolitiTweet.org

And seriously, a Nationals mask? For me, Reds forever, rain or shine, in good times and in bad. Proud to be from Northern Kentucky. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

What Mitch has done instead of passing COVID relief: -suggested bankruptcy as a solution to states’ budget crises -confirmed 14 underqualified, partisan judges -vowed to end extended unemployment benefits And now he’s taking a two-week break. — PolitiTweet.org

What’s taking them so long? The Marine Corps did this months ago. — PolitiTweet.org

But the Senate majority leader is more worried about frivolous lawsuits right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Higher education costs have increased eight times faster than wages, making it impossible for many to get the education they need to succeed. Read about my national service plan, a practical solution for debt-free higher education. https://t.co/kuPGsg8e4q — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

Now that Sen. McConnell's already-super-wealthy family got its taxpayer-funded financial relief, how about making sure that regular (i.e. not wealthy) folks get their unemployment extended and state & local gov'ts get some help so that they aren't forced to lay off vital workers? — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

Sen. McConnell is twiddling his thumbs on legislation that would provide relief to KY, saying he’s “looking into it.” He sounds like my kids when they don’t want to do their homework. Except when Mitch procrastinates, thousands of Kentuckians suffer. https://t.co/Zmsxg2yiV3 — PolitiTweet.org

Operation HERoes is now accepting applications to participate in an all-women Honor Flight next year. If you are or know a KY woman veteran, be sure to apply or pass this on. You do not have to have served in combat. Thank you @HonorFlightKY for making this happen! — PolitiTweet.org

Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY

We're in a recession & over a million Kentuckians have filed for unemployment, but Mitch won't extend enhanced unemployment benefits because he doesn't want to give "a bonus not to go back to work.” But there's not enough work to go back to, Out-Of-Touch Mitch. — PolitiTweet.org
