Thank you for hosting and having a great conversation, @commoncause! Let’s get my bill with @WydenForOregon passed so all voters have the option to vote early or by mail in November. — PolitiTweet.org

The Federal Election Commission should be enforcing campaign finance laws to keep corruption out of politics, which is why I opposed Trey Trainor's nomination to the FEC. He's been working to dismantle campaign finance rules & gerrymander districts to weaken minority voting power — PolitiTweet.org

With a bipartisan group of my colleagues, I have asked USCIS to resume streamlined visa processing for immigrant doctors and called on them to waive restrictions for health workers practicing in crisis areas during the pandemic. Lives are at stake — they must act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

That’s why I’m leading efforts to reauthorize the Conrad 30 Program which allows foreign doctors trained in the U.S. to work in underserved areas and keep doing their heroic service for our country during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” These doctors are choosing service over fear. Saving lives, saving someone’s grandma is more important to them than fear. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday on the Senate floor, I told the story of an #ImmigrantHealthHero on the frontlines treating COVID-19 patients at Mayo Clinic. While she's saving lives, she's worried she won't be able to stay here to do her work while filling out paperwork to prove she’s “worth keeping" — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

As I said during Bill Barr's confirmation, the Attorney General needs to be the people's lawyer. Yet again, Barr's Department of Justice is not treating all Americans equally under the law, but instead acting like the President’s personal attorney. That is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Live on Twitter, I am joining the founder of @MomsDemand, @shannonrwatts, to talk about how women are leading the way in both gun safety and on the front lines tackling this crisis. Join us at 7 p.m. ET! https://t.co/tG4SFkquPt — PolitiTweet.org

We need more protective equipment for health care workers. We need a real national testing strategy. And we need our health and the right to vote protected. We need the Administration to step up, take action and protect Americans during this national crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Last month, people voted in garbage bags & homemade masks—many tested positive for COVID-19. Like @donnabrazile said—I’m shocked we even have to write this. Republicans played politics with people’s lives in WI. I have a bill so it doesn't happen again. https://t.co/28MoouF1l8 — PolitiTweet.org

Lesson of the day: Sometimes asking the right questions matters. Outcome after our Senate Commerce hearing: Frontier Airlines rescinds empty middle seat $39 charge after lawmaker pressure https://t.co/pCo2ztODh0 — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

So on Frontier Airlines you now have to pay an extra fee to keep yourself safe from corona virus. As I said today at the Commerce hearing, there needs to be fed. guidance in place so airlines can’t do this. And I thought their half-tray tables were bad.. https://t.co/Gu6DcSSVIo — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Our country has always prevailed after a crisis under great leadership. But we're not going to get that with Donald Trump. It’s time we elect someone who will rally the people to fight for a better, long term vision for our nation—it’s time we elect Vice President @JoeBiden. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Thank you @votolatino for supporting my bill with Sen. @WydenForOregon that would ensure: → Every state has 20 days of early voting → All voters can vote by mail → All states have funding they need Let’s get this passed so we can prepare for Election Day! — PolitiTweet.org

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and right now many of them are struggling. Now, scammers are targeting small businesses that are trying to access the program. — PolitiTweet.org

Ahmaud Arbery was murdered — plain and simple. There must be justice for this heinous crime. https://t.co/zxmjVq3QRw — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Out of the Great Depression came new public service programs. Right now, expanding opportunities for Americans to serve their country is crucial. Sen. @ChrisCoons & I are pushing to expand national service programs to help us respond to this crisis. https://t.co/YJ0pBOa8e2 — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

A well deserved, but long-overdue recognition. Ida B. Wells used the power of free speech and journalism to expose racial injustice across the country. She was a fearless leader who demonstrated courage and paved the path for many African American journalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Nonprofits are on the front lines of this crisis, but many are struggling financially as demand for their services soars. I’m introducing a bill with @brianschatz to help charitable nonprofits increase their services & provide jobs for unemployed Americans.https://t.co/iDvEpvopr5 — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Voters standing in line in garbage bags and homemade masks — that's what we saw at the polls in Wisconsin. It CANNOT happen again. Let's pass my bill to let people vote early or from home. There's nothing partisan about this; we must protect Americans. https://t.co/DdcxAqV1p0 https://t.co/gOSnEiPYtL — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing stops her. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

We need real leadership in the White House right now. Instead, we have a President who plays the blame game. He blames other countries. He blames the media. He blames the WHO. He blames President Obama. But the American people are listening & they’re going to vote in Nov. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

MN filmmaker Mick Caouette directed documentaries on Hubert Humphrey & Thurgood Marshall. His latest, Summoned, is about FDR’s labor sec. Frances Perkins, who fought for Social Security & Civilian Conservation Corp. We're all summoned to do our part. Watch https://t.co/MZnbysKlYG — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Proud to stand with @ChrisCoons @RepDavidEPrice @DorisMatsui and so many others who worked on this legislation to expand @americorp. This is about thinking long term to provide people with work and give service to our country at a time when we deeply need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

We need to elect candidates up and down the ballot that put people first and work together toward common-sense solutions. That’s why I'm proud to endorse @danielfeehan. Let's elect Dan in November! — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Only 19% of our workers have access to paid leave. It’s unacceptable. During this crisis, Americans shouldn't have to sacrifice a paycheck to take care of a loved one or themselves. It’s time for paid leave for all. https://t.co/4RtMPUW6ci — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

My mom taught 2nd grade until she was 70 years old. I saw firsthand the impact teachers have on their students. Her favorite unit to teach was on monarch butterflies. On #NationalTeachersDay I want to thank our teachers who go above & beyond every day—in-person & now virtually. https://t.co/xauzs8wG88 — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

Thank you @RevJJackson and @RPCoalition for endorsing my bill to expand vote by mail & early voting! We must knock down the barriers that are making it hard to vote safely during this crisis. It’s time to protect all Americans’ health & our democracy. Let’s get this passed! — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar

This virus is disproportionately hurting communities of color, and it’s shining a glaring light on inequities in our country. We need better demographic data to address these disparities. Mr. President, I asked for the data weeks ago. It's unacceptable. Release the data now. — PolitiTweet.org
