That's why I'm introducing the Independent Secretariat for Fair Trade Deals Act. We need a trade model that respects workers & builds strong mechanisms for labor enforcement. My bill will establish an independent Labor Secretariat to monitor & enforce transnational labor issues. https://t.co/RL9YZHwGKI — PolitiTweet.org

This system undermines the rule of law w/ a global race to the bottom. Trade is not just about goods. It's about people. It's about workers. It's about communities. Unfortunately, President Trump’s renegotiated NAFTA 2.0 does little to remedy the mistakes of the original NAFTA. — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

America’s economic history is rooted in the exploitation of labor. It’s a lesson worth remembering, but not a history of yester-years alone. Our existing trade deals, like #NAFTA, impose an economic model built on cheap labor where profits matter more than people. — PolitiTweet.org

The opioid crisis has ravaged too many families and neighborhoods. Big Pharma, providers, manufacturers AND distributors must be held accountable! May our federal court in Cleveland bring justice for the communities devastated by this deadly epidemic. https://t.co/Md61e67P9j — PolitiTweet.org

Great meeting with NASA Administrator Bridenstine to discuss our shared passion for space exploration! With NASA Glenn, Northern Ohio has played a central role the success of U.S. space exploration. It’s important we continue to invest in NASA and fully fund their vital missions. https://t.co/wNT0u9lAAT — PolitiTweet.org

The President's rhetoric toward four of my House colleagues is disgraceful. He's a divider who insults and stokes resentment for political gain. America deserves better than his calculated rants. https://t.co/xUUjMyso2P — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. has waited 10 YEARS for a minimum wage increase! Passing the #RaiseTheWage Act would put $3,200 in the pockets of 128,000 Northern Ohioans per year, lift 1.3 million Americans out of poverty, and increase wages for over 27 million Americans. https://t.co/FBUBgCvPwT — PolitiTweet.org

If Trump and the GOP get their way in Texas v. U.S., then: ❌741,000 Ohioans lose their health coverage. ❌4,830,000 Ohioans with pre-existing conditions lose their protections. ❌81,000 Ohioans under 26 kicked off their parents’ health insurance. https://t.co/61zdAA40i7 — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s ‘Salute to America’ has the appearance of little more than a salute to himself. With tanks, VIP access for wealthy GOP donors, & $2.5 million diverted from Parks, it’s turned into a campaign rally paid for by American taxpayers. https://t.co/Ls3VZBoDmC — PolitiTweet.org

.@BetsyDeVosED has repealed a commonsense rule designed to crack down on and hold predatory for-profit colleges accountable. Bad actors in higher ed produce grads w/ few job prospects & mountains of debt. Secretary DeVos, our students deserve better. https://t.co/DlMoMaskYv — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Millions of taxpayer dollars will be used to station tanks on the National Mall this Independence Day. Seems like a costly exercise to satisfy the President’s hankering for a military show. Would cost less to just send him to Mar-a-Lago & be done with it. https://t.co/UTYxCx3JCw — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats on 30 years of partnership to the Ohio Aerospace Institute. @OhioAerospace’s efforts to advance Ohio’s leadership in aerospace technology and development means jobs and global leadership for Ohio. https://t.co/gFBKnwEQSm — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply disappointing. Russia was expelled due to its malevolent invasion of Ukrainian sovereignty and continues to illegally hold 24 Ukrainian sailors. What has changed since 2014?https://t.co/k3AgqFbrOC — PolitiTweet.org

A vital step for Hyperloop in the Great Lakes region! Pleased to have supported this important funding and glad to see it included in the FY2020 Transportation bill! https://t.co/s0C3W0hdGb — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Our country owes these servicemembers and veterans a debt of gratitude for their service. Instead, the Trump Administration will deport them. This is shameful. https://t.co/Kt7jhslCw3 — PolitiTweet.org

Social Security is a lifeline for countless Americans and the bedrock of retirement security in this country. That's why I'm cosponsoring the Social Security 2100 Act, legislation that will enhance benefits and ensure #SocialSecurity remains solvent for generations to come! https://t.co/PhtCWB3wGt — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to announce that @RepDanKildee and I secured an additional $500,000 in federal funds to combat the spread of Grass Carp in our Great Lakes. I’m glad to see the House pass this amendment and urge its swift adoption in the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/TipfjTXBIg — PolitiTweet.org

While today is a setback, our fight to secure fair representation for all Americans is not over. It will never be over. I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the voices of the people and communities I represent are heard in their government. https://t.co/gKhVpqnrW9 — PolitiTweet.org

This is a dark day for American Democracy. Fortunately, Ohioans have already taken an important first step to implement commonsense redistricting reform when they overwhelmingly voted in favor of Issue 1 in 2018. — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court’s conservative justices undermines democratic participation for millions of Americans in Ohio and across the U.S. The #SCOTUS had a rare opportunity to strengthen, if not save, fair representation in our democracy & they categorically failed. — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Ensuring #LGBTQ Americans are treated equally is vital to our democracy. Unfortunately, in Ohio & many other states it's still legal to fire someone based on their LGBTQ identity. I’m honored to cosponsor the #EqualityAct, making such discrimination illegal across all 50 states. https://t.co/ed6BQGKFfo — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur

Vote rights for every American must be protected. Attacks on the #VotingRightsAct continue to undermine democratic participation in communities across Ohio as voters are purged from rolls. The greatest democracy must ensure that all its citizens have equal opportunities to vote. https://t.co/tj6mV3pUEG — PolitiTweet.org

Our work resulted in a bill that improve the lives of hard working Ohioans, grows our economy, creates jobs, protects our environment, repairs our infrastructure, strengthens healthcare, and sets our communities up for success. https://t.co/jxCxkEVuGG — PolitiTweet.org

Commemorating #NationalPollinatorWeek! Bees alone add at least $15 billion a year to agricultural production by improving crops and harvest yields. Pollinators help keep our planet beautiful and fed, let’s return the favor and protect them! https://t.co/jsy2Tbtzyu — PolitiTweet.org

I'm honored to congratulate Robert Lawson on his appointment to the Air Force Academy! Robert is a Morrison R. Waite HS graduate & is currently attending @UToledo.

An honor to introduce @GCPartnership to Speaker Nancy Pelosi at its annual Empowering Local Leadership Conference. Driving economic vitality in our region, especially for small businesses, is a top priority.

The escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran should concern every American. The U.S. should not be dragged into another conflict that will inevitably put young American lives at risk. Diplomacy, not war, must be our highest priority. https://t.co/w0bOK6giqF — PolitiTweet.org
