Women, especially Black women, have borne the brunt of this pandemic. While the #JobsReport shows positive gains, we can and must do more to help women and families across the country — including investing in child care, universal Pre-K, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

During #WomensHistoryMonth, I want to give a shoutout to my shero—Shirley Chisholm. She was the 1st Black woman elected to Congress & I would not be where I am today were it not for her leadership & courage.

Forced arbitration clauses are the still-silenced part of the #MeToo movement, denying survivors their day in court and shielding abusers in the shadows. Today, when @POTUS Biden signs @RepCheri’s Ending Forced Arbitration Act, we will make sure survivors’ voices can be heard. https://t.co/MP9OGPpqhL — PolitiTweet.org

Give me a break! I don't remember Tucker Carlson asking to see the LSAT scores for any of the last President's SCOTUS nominees. And in case Mr. Carlson forgot, cum laude means ""with honor""— which is what Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson graduated with from Harvard Law school. — PolitiTweet.org

Toxic exposure is a cost of war. That’s why I’m proud to support @RepMarkTakano’s Honoring our PACT Act, which will provide healthcare to over 3.5 million toxic-exposed veterans and create a presumption of service connection for 23 respiratory illnesses and cancers. https://t.co/sMRhOmkrri — PolitiTweet.org

For Joshua, his family, and for families across the US, we need to lower prescription drug prices. I agree with @POTUS that we must cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month and allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices. — PolitiTweet.org

MI is 1 of 41 states where childcare workers aren't paid a living wage. It's unacceptable, & the pandemic has worsened the problem. A fair & just recovery must include supporting child care workers & providers—most of whom are women & people of color. #COVIDChildCareChallenge https://t.co/ac576jQNdG — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS made it clear in his #SOTU—the U.S. stands with Ukraine. "In the battle between democracy & autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, & the world is clearly choosing the side of peace & security." I was proud to show my support for the Ukrainian people last night. — PolitiTweet.org

"Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.      Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty." #SOTU — PolitiTweet.org

Cut the cost of child care. Full stop. #SOTU "Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child. Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children." — PolitiTweet.org

"For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it." I couldn’t agree more. #SOTU — PolitiTweet.org

Black women are 50% more likely to be sent home from work because of their hair. No one should lose a job, face school discipline, or endure other forms of discrimination because of their natural hair. #CROWNAct https://t.co/E2D0MERQ5t — PolitiTweet.org

Despite more than 200 attempts to pass antilynching legislation since 1900, lynching has still never been designated a federal hate crime. @RepBobbyRush’s Emmett Till #AntilynchingAct will change that — and I’ll be voting for it on the House floor tonight. https://t.co/8ROfUfeAs2 — PolitiTweet.org
