For context: Today, Trump said he would transfer $155 million from FEMA's efforts at disaster relief to ICE. We have a president who would rather spend money caging kids than helping Puerto Rico—and it's on us to demand a new one. — PolitiTweet.org

From town halls at Voorhees College and S.C. State University to Benedict College, I've been impressed by the determination on HBCU campuses across the state. The students I met are not the leaders of tomorrow but the leaders of right now—on every issue. Grateful for the welcome. https://t.co/hjdsYJV9HU — PolitiTweet.org

Dreamers are Americans—and our country is stronger, safer, and better because they call it home. I hope the Supreme Court makes the right decision, but the only way to protect Dreamers is to defeat President Trump and make them citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

“No decisions about us without us.” Black women are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party—and they must be at the table. I'm truly inspired by Kayla Mallet, Dr. Roslyn Clark Artis, and everyone who joined me at today's #BlackWomen2020 roundtable at Benedict College. https://t.co/SyWikqKJlE — PolitiTweet.org

From Martin Luther King Jr. to Esau Jenkins, The Progressive Club has welcomed some of the most important civil rights leaders in our nation's history. Thank you to Abe, Esau's grandson, for the reminder of how much progress we've made—and how much more work we have to do. https://t.co/nRBIGx2PqL — PolitiTweet.org

No matter how you ask the question, my answer will be the same: The decision of whether or not to get an abortion is one neither I nor the United States government should be making. That's a decision for the woman to make. https://t.co/0AcwfGQ1dr — PolitiTweet.org

Ismail flew into Boston to start his freshman year at Harvard—but when he arrived, he was deported after facing questions about his religion. They don't care if you're seeking asylum or coming to attend college; if you're an immigrant, they will treat you as less than human. — PolitiTweet.org

When families in need arrive in South Carolina, Our Lady Of Mercy Community Outreach is there—providing them with free medical, dental, and childcare services. Grateful to spend the morning with Ericka, Ryan, and everyone else who makes the organization so special. https://t.co/SkaZjSRlkk — PolitiTweet.org

Kristina Curry, 16 years-old. Her grandmother: “I can’t understand why someone would hurt my granddaughter that way.” — PolitiTweet.org

Jashon Johnson, 16 years-old. Killed near Fairground Park—a place where children should be living their lives, not losing them. — PolitiTweet.org

Myiesha Cannon, 16 years-old. “She was loving, kind,” her mother Latrice said. “She did not deserve this. She did anything for everybody.” Her sister added: “I miss her.” — PolitiTweet.org

Jurnee Thompson, 8 years-old. She was at a football game with her family when she was killed. “The little girl wasn’t doing anything wrong,” said Police Chief John Hayden. — PolitiTweet.org

Xavier Usanga, 7 years-old. The next day would have been Xavier’s first day of second grade. Xavier’s sister was also shot that day. Their mother, Dawn, said to the shooter: “You killed my son... and I hope his smile will burn in your brain forever.” — PolitiTweet.org

Kennedi Powell, 3 years-old. “She was a beautiful young lady. She was the type of person who liked to play a lot, like to run off and pinch you,” her grandmother said. “It’s hard—real hard.” — PolitiTweet.org

Kayden Johnson, 2 years-old. Think about that. 2 years-old. “He was uplifting,” Kayden’s father said. “He was always smiling.” — PolitiTweet.org

Since April, at least 12 kids in St. Louis have lost their lives to guns. Kayden. Kennedi. Xavier. Jurnee. Eddie. Charnija. Derrel. Sentonio. Myiesha. Jashon. Kristina. Jason. Here's a bit about who they were. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Every year, nearly 40,000 human beings lose their lives to gun violence. That number is so incomprehensibly large—so tragic—we lose sight of the individual lives lost. So tonight, I want to focus on one city, where an 8 year-old and a 15 year-old were shot dead this weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

About damn time. We can't accept living in a country where Americans are in jail for possessing marijuana—but not a single Pharma exec has spent even a night behind bars for the opioid crisis. The least they can do is pay up. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Last week, I had the opportunity to spend time with @JasonKander in Kansas City—where I learned about how he's helping @VCP_HQ eradicate homelessness. Jason may not be in elected office, but he is the definition of a public servant. And I am so lucky to call him a friend. — PolitiTweet.org
