We must enact commonsense gun violence preventions. Now.   And if Senate Republicans are too beholden to the NRA to protect their own constituents, then it's time to end the filibuster and get it done ourselves.   Lives are hanging in the balance. It's past time to act. Enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Infrastructure is roads and bridges, yes.   But it's also ensuring that those roads connect our families and communities:   Safe, affordable homes. Expanded broadband. Clean drinking water. Green energy.   Infrastructure is about building a modern economy that lifts everyone up. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The NRA will fight tooth and nail to preserve the gun industry’s unjustifiable legal immunity.   But we don’t have to let them win.   I have a bill to end this obscene liability shield—that no other industry enjoys—so gun violence victims get their day in court.   Let's act. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 has wrought unprecedented economic devastation, but as we recover, we have the opportunity to build back better: A modern, green economy that works for everyone. Join me & @RBReich LIVE to discuss the path forward tomorrow at 7pm ET/ 4pm PT: https://t.co/J5tk6CRMgj https://t.co/lC8KisyDpi — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell thinks corporations should stay out of politics. Especially on the "highly incendiary issue" of... the right to vote. But McConnell also asks corporations to pour money into Republican political campaigns so they can suppress voters and stay in power. How convenient. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to Officer Billy Evans’ family, especially his two beautiful children. @CapitolPolice have endured so much. But they continue to show up every day to protect not just a building, but the democracy it represents. Rest In Peace, Officer. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing you a very Happy Easter!    May the hopeful spirit of this holiday bring you and your loved ones meaningful reflection and celebration.   And of course, if you're gathering in person, make sure to stay safe. Mask up, distance, and enjoy the Spring weather! — PolitiTweet.org

I’m horrified that tragedy has again struck the Capitol, and a US Capitol Police officer has been killed and another injured. And I am heartbroken for Capitol Police, who have already endured so much. My thoughts are with the entire department, the officers, and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what you may have missed in the #AmericanJobsPlan: ⚡️Invest in electric cars with 500,000 chargers nationwide by 2030 🏡Build & retrofit 200 million+ energy efficient affordable homes 💻Expand universal broadband We can build a modern, green economy, lifting everyone up. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are rushing to make it harder to vote—especially for communities of color—in Georgia and across the country.   Democrats are fighting to protect and expand the vote.   Not just for "our" voters, but for all Americans.   It's a fight for the very soul of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans know that H.R. 1 is widely popular, even with conservatives.   So McConnell is arranging private meetings with the Koch Brothers to figure out how to kill the bill.   ... Exactly the kind of dark money influence and lack of accountability that H.R. 1 will root out. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a Chag Pesach Sameach to all who are celebrating the first night of Passover this evening.   While far too many families across America are facing empty chairs at their seder tables, I hope that you find peace, joy, and meaningful reflection. Next year, in person! — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be held behind bars while awaiting a trial just because they can't afford bail.   Pre-trial detention for minor, nonviolent offenses can have a domino effect – job loss, poverty, and homelessness. That doesn't make anyone safer.   No more. Poverty is not a crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

After losing Georgia, the GOP wasted no time. Working so hard to suppress the vote, they made it a crime to give water to a voter waiting in line. And it's not just Georgia, with 250+ voter suppression bills nationwide. If they bring back Jim Crow, our democracy can't succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is still at it with new ways to sabotage the USPS:   Shorter hours. Slower delivery. Higher rates.   Veterans, elderly, small businesses and more rely on USPS to get medications, conduct business and stay connected.   DeJoy must go. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Sandy Hook. Parkland. El Paso. Orlando. Las Vegas. Atlanta. Boulder. This awful list keeps growing. No more. We must act: Universal background checks. Ban assault weapons & extended clips. And more. We have the power. Not the NRA. So let’s act. Before another tragedy strikes. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Americans send representatives to Washington to solve problems and enact change. It is simply not tenable for the will of the voters to be continually thwarted by an archaic practice. I believe it's time to eliminate the filibuster once and for all. Here's why: https://t.co/eGuksaceJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

As horrifying reports continue to emerge from Colorado, my heart is with the victims, their families, and the Boulder community. Once again, a gunman has turned a public space into a site of tragedy. We don’t have to live in fear like this. We must pass commonsense gun reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to be an original cosponsor of Medicare for All.   Healthcare is a human right: ✔️Universal coverage. ✔️Lower costs. ✔️No barriers to treatment.   No matter who you are. No matter what you do for work. No matter what you can afford.   It's time for #MedicareForAll. — PolitiTweet.org

Words have meaning, and hateful rhetoric leads to tragic consequences.   Hate crimes against Asian Americans are up dramatically, and just yesterday we saw the murder of several Asian victims in Atlanta.   We must all speak out against violent anti-Asian attacks and hate speech. — PolitiTweet.org

This intelligence report confirms: - Russia interfered in the 2020 election by spreading misinformation to hurt Biden and help Trump. - Russia successfully reached individuals close to Trump. Our best defense? Americans must reject foreign interference, no matter who it helps. https://t.co/WNxoEgWyRd — PolitiTweet.org

🚨PSA🚨 The passage of the American Rescue Plan means millions will receive $1400 relief payments. To receive your check as quickly as possible, file your 2020 taxes electronically so that the IRS has your income and direct deposit information on file. Don’t wait, do it today! — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This week, I voted for: 💸The #AmericanRescuePlan to help working families survive this crisis, ⚖️The #JusticeInPolicingAct to address police brutality, 💪The #PROAct to protect labor unions, & 🛑2 bills to strengthen background checks on gun sales. We're building back better. — PolitiTweet.org

I would like to personally welcome our new @HouseIntel members: @RepJasonCrow, @RepJimCooper, @RepBrianFitz, @RepTrentKelly, @RepLahood, and @RepMullin We have much to do to keep our country safe. Looking forward to our work together. — PolitiTweet.org

He would have been — should have been — an extraordinary Supreme Court Justice. Now Merrick Garland will be a great Attorney General. As a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, I couldn’t be happier for DOJ or the country. Nice to see when good things happen to good people. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

America's children have never known life without fear of school shootings. But we are not powerless to address gun violence. That’s why I voted YES to expand federal background check requirements. The Senate must pass these commonsense bills. Our children deserve nothing less. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The American Rescue Plan is heading to @POTUS' desk for his signature. Not a moment too soon.   $1,400 relief checks. Extended unemployment benefits. Funding to increase vaccinations, keep people in their homes, reopen schools, and cut child poverty in half. Help is on the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The 40 hour work week. Minimum wage. Health benefits. Ending child labor. These workplace protections are all thanks to labor.   Many large corporations seek to undermine their right to organize.   I just voted YES on the PRO Act. No one working full time should live in poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Republican legislators in Georgia are responding to their election loss by trying to make it more difficult to vote. It's an egregious attack on our democracy.   These suppression efforts will disenfranchise millions, particularly people of color. That's exactly the intention. — PolitiTweet.org
