21% of children in WV are food insecure. BBB will ensure that the nutritional needs of WV’s children are met by expanding access to free school meals to 38k additional students during the school year and 204k students over the summer. Who told Manchin that’s a bad idea? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

Only 1/4 of 3- & 4 y/o in West Virginia have access to publicly-funded preschool, and it costs about $8,600/year for everyone else. BBB will enable WV to expand access to free, high-quality preschool to more than 27k additional kids per year. Who’s telling Joe that’s a bad idea? — PolitiTweet.org

From West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy: 61% of West Virginians cannot utilize FMLA, meaning they have no access to paid or unpaid leave, either because of their employer size or because they cannot afford to take unpaid leave BBB is designed to help people like them. — PolitiTweet.org

West Virginia has an older population than Florida and Senator Manchin is tanking the biggest investment in elder care in generations. What’s more important to you Joe? Who told you it was a good idea to turn your back on them? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

94% of children in West Virginia benefit from expanded child tax credits. Manchin says he’ll vote against them. Someone ask him who told him to oppose this — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SeanCasten: This is still true. — PolitiTweet.org

BBB is an opportunity to help working people in NJ and West Virginia. If he wants to turn his back on them he ought to give us the real reason. He made a commitment to negotiate in good faith. His failure to do so has consequences for the entire country. https://t.co/tF2QeJPyJk — PolitiTweet.org

His concern about the national debt must have emerged AFTER he voted for an increased military budget more than 4x the size of BBB. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

Sen. Manchin’s “concerns” about the costs of BBB are a cop out. His “concerns” about inflation are shortsighted. BBB will help those struggling by lowering costs in the care economy, supporting our work force and getting our economy back on track in a way that’s fair to everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot let an outdated political procedure stop us from saving lives and protecting democracy. The Senate can — and must — end the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

A sit-in is a *nonviolent* protest. Refusing to wear a mask or get vaccinated during a pandemic threatens the health and safety of others. That is a *violent* act. On top of that, these people invoke the civil rights movement by calling this stunt a "sit-in." How dare they. — PolitiTweet.org

Omicron is the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. Only nine more to go. Please get vaccinated before we have to switch to another language. — PolitiTweet.org

If the Senate fails to pass the Build Back Act by the end of the month, millions of working families will not receive #ChildTaxCredit payments in January. We can't let these families down. The Senate must act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is "Boost NJ Day," marking one year since the first COVID vaccine was given in New Jersey. Everyone age 16 and older can get their booster, while everyone 5 and older can get their primary vaccination series. Please get vaccinated. We can only end this pandemic together. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

Today's expanded #ChildTaxCredit payment could be the last. The CTC is one of the most successful anti-poverty programs in our nation's history. The Senate must pass the #BuildBackBetter Act to ensure that it stays in effect. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

Rising prices hurt — it would be dishonest to say otherwise. One party is trying to relieve this financial pain... and it's not the GOP. The #BuildBackBetter Act is designed to put money back into working Americans' pockets. Every single House Republican voted against it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

230 years ago today, the Bill of Rights was ratified and became law. Which state ratified it first? Not Delaware or Pennsylvania or Massachusetts... it was New Jersey. Delaware may be the "Constitution State," but NJ is the "Bill of Rights State." (cc: @NJgov @delaware_gov) — PolitiTweet.org

While the rich are throwing around money buying things like "superyachts," the pandemic has left working families struggling to survive. Building Back Better means giving those working families the financial relief they need — and superyacht buyers will pay for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, the need to #TellTheTruth about our country's history is greater than ever before. I'm honored to co-sponsor @RepBowman's African American History Act, which would help overcome lies with the truth about African American history. https://t.co/4LdjFkOWpF — PolitiTweet.org

A year ago, the first COVID vaccine was given in the United States. Now, more than 60% of Americans are vaccinated. The pandemic won't end until that number gets a lot higher. Whether you do it for yourself, your family, your friends or your neighbors — please get vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

We are seeing a rise in Islamophobia in nearly every corner of the globe. This bigotry must end. That’s why I will vote for legislation led by @Ilhan and @janschakowsky to create a special envoy to monitor and combat Islamophobia. #StopIslamophobia https://t.co/MviV0MQ4OX — PolitiTweet.org
