Johnson and Johnson cannot be allowed to contribute to the deaths of Americans by the thousands w/out being held accountable. We must use the precedent set by today’s decision as a foothold to ensure justice prevails for the millions who have been harmed by the opioid epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

The judge found that Johnson & Johnson perpetuated the opioid epidemic in Oklahoma while reaping billions in profits. The prosecution sought $17.5 billion, but the judge concluded that J&J was only liable for $572 million, an outcome that sent J&J’s stock price souring upward. — PolitiTweet.org

This decision sets an important precedent that moves us in the right direction, but it is only a start toward seeing justice done. https://t.co/Pn6WAdWNAH — PolitiTweet.org

The @WashingtonPost recently joined me for a tour of OH-9. We drove countless miles, met with dozens of locals, and (of course) stopped by @tonypackos. We discussed everything from the issues facing our working-class communities to politics under Trump. https://t.co/Y0wridaqmp — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to visit the Soo Locks with @RepMoolenaar, @usacehq, @USACELRD and key stakeholders. The Soo supports millions of domestic manufacturing jobs and protects our national security. Lets keep up the progress! https://t.co/SUvZPE0aL8 — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ must stop retaliating against the National Association of Immigration Judges. The Union is standing up for fairness in the system and working conditions for its members. DOJ- end the unfair attacks! — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we celebrate the 84th anniversary of Social Security, which was signed into law by President FDR at the height of the Great Depression in 1935. Social Security is the bedrock earned benefit that underpins retirement security in this country and it must be protected. https://t.co/ILratSoSjh — PolitiTweet.org

The University of Toledo is leading the way in making solar technology lighter, more efficient, and more accessible. Now, UT researchers have been awarded a $7.4 million by the U.S. Air Force to support their transformational work. Great work, UT! https://t.co/saJRQIKcNZ — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we pay a special tribute to the recipients of our nation’s oldest military award, including my dear friend Horace, a WWII Army veteran and former State Commander of the @MOPH_HQ. We'll forever be in the debt to those who sacrificed in the name of liberty. #PurpleHeartDay https://t.co/YZJ09lzYjN — PolitiTweet.org

When Trump says he sees no political appetite to ban assault rifles, he means he sees no political upside for the NRA & GOP. Americans don’t care what's politically expedient. They're tired of dying while gun manufactures profit from AR-15s & 100-round drum mags. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH — PolitiTweet.org

Rest in peace, Toni Morrison, Ohio’s first lady of literature. The pride of Lorain, she courageously used her gift for storytelling to inspire millions and give voice to marginalized people the world over. We are forever grateful for her profound contributions to American life. https://t.co/70XROpwicg — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Americans will continue to die by mass shootings and gun violence until Trump and Mitch McConnell take ACTION. The President should call Congress back from its August recess and demand that McConnell immediately bring House passed background check legislation to the Senate floor. https://t.co/g2KKbtbblU — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Our hearts break for the victims in El Paso & Dayton. There isn’t a community in the U.S. that hasn’t been hurt by gun violence. The House already passed a comprehensive background check bill that would help. Now, Mitch McConnell must decide whether to stand w/ Americans or NRA. — PolitiTweet.org

The folks at @tonypackos have been turning out famous hot dogs and Eastern European fare since 1932 - and this week, I was honored to sign one of their hot dog buns! Nothing beats a Packo’s hot dog with everything. What do you order at Packo’s? https://t.co/yDk1uB7Zha — PolitiTweet.org

https://t.co/pxWocxhiLM For Shame Mr. President. @RepCummings works FOR THE PEOPLE. Baltimore & countless communities across the US need a President and Representatives who will fight for them. That’s what Rep. Cummings has been doing. You should take a page out of his book. — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Almost 25% (!!!) of all phone calls made in the U.S. are robocalls. I’m pleased the House overwhelmingly passed this bipartisan legislation, but for the sake of our shared sanity, I urge our colleagues in the Senate to please - please - pass this bill ASAP https://t.co/1nQA5yXgcS — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

As Chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy & Water, I know Ohio is capable of leading the U.S. in meeting our nation’s future energy demands. State GOP lawmakers just severely undermined that effort by passing House Bill 6. https://t.co/S5zx2Xj0df — PolitiTweet.org

Trump proposal would kick 3 million people off SNAP, 64,752 in our district. Shameful. Wall Street speculators and bankers should not get bonuses from the government when hardworking families struggle to put food on the table. https://t.co/zkAo7CboSc — PolitiTweet.org

Passing the #ButchLewisAct has been a top legislative priority for years. Today, under Democratic leadership it finally passed the House. This moves us one step closer to restoring economic security for over 1 million pensioners, including 60,000 in Ohio! https://t.co/264OjzgTeX — PolitiTweet.org

In our globalized world, we need fair trade among free people. That’s why I am calling for swift action on the Independent Secretariat for Fair Trade Deals Act. https://t.co/rFczUkmWoK — PolitiTweet.org

If the President expects the #USMCA to be ratified by Congress, he should amend the text of the agreement to include equal labor standards and enforcement mechanisms as are referenced in this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

My bill requires any trade agreement include enforceable labor standards and protections; sets Congress’ expectations that objectives will apply to all workers regardless of immigration status, and establishes collective bargaining standards across borders. — PolitiTweet.org
