Black women enroll in college at a higher rate than white/Asian women. There are 35,000 STEM grads every year (>10% of each class), but black women have only 1% of top science jobs. This is a big racial barrier in our digital age. ⁦@aimeeallison⁩ https://t.co/baKygJVP2G — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to the families of all those impacted by this latest incident of appalling violence. Antisemitism has been one the rise in our nation. We must stand unequivocally against it in all its forms. https://t.co/YF0MQLCgcr — PolitiTweet.org

Inspiring remarks tonight by @OKnox about the risks journalists take every day to stand up for democracy. Ron Chernow gave a brilliant speech about the Bill of Rights as “American scripture” & why there is historical justification for long term optimism about our nation’s future. — PolitiTweet.org

This is just the latest evidence that not taking action on climate change will be much more expensive in the long run. The melting permafrost in the arctic could amplify the effects of global warming by 5 percent and have an economic impact of $70T. https://t.co/0RusdSwnbS — PolitiTweet.org

Health insurance companies can continue to spend millions lobbying Congress but they can't stop our momentum. The American people demand a system that guarantees healthcare as a right, not a privilege for those who can afford it. — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@daronacemogIu⁩ is absolutely correct that our focus should be creating high wage jobs. We need educational policies that give everyone a stake in the digital economy and incentives and investments to harness technology to improve productivity. https://t.co/VuVPXkAAen — PolitiTweet.org

UnitedHealth covers treatment for a mental health crisis but has refused to pay to treat the underlying conditions once the crisis is over — putting lives in danger. With Medicare for All, mental health treatment would be free at the point of service. https://t.co/MTxtebpZOV — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @GeorgeGoehl for highlighting how factory farms harm rural America. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Factory farms have a devastating impact on water, air, and the way of life in rural communities. Democrats need to stand up to Big Ag to stop the expansion of factory farms and hold them accountable for their damage to the environment. https://t.co/OVVRC3ROZj — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The world’s leading scientists tell us that we are in a climate emergency. Where is the political will for taking urgent action? Could it be that those who oppose the Green New Deal are worried about losing campaign donations from the oil & gas industry? https://t.co/lzDetprwy3 — PolitiTweet.org

Supporting a foreign policy of restraint and diplomacy means more than challenging Trump’s militarism. Every Democrat should be against the military spending increases that fund endless, unconstitutional wars. — PolitiTweet.org

Five years have passed since the #FlintWaterCrisis began, and this public health emergency continues. If a tiny fraction of our military budget went toward replacing pipes, we could restore clean water to Flint and every community with dangerous levels of lead in drinking water. — PolitiTweet.org

The fight to tackle climate change isn’t only about future generations. Communities across America are feeling the impact RIGHT NOW. How many lives need to be destroyed before we finally take decisive action that meets the urgency of this existential challenge? https://t.co/ApeyNwHeqf — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Five years ago, Flint’s water service was switched to the Flint River, causing the #FlintWaterCrisis that affected 100,000 people. It’s absolutely unacceptable that many residents STILL don’t have clean water. Clean, drinkable water is a human right. https://t.co/lJfgItijab — PolitiTweet.org

If you still need convincing that climate change will get more expensive over time, take a look at how the cost of disaster relief has increased over the past few decades. https://t.co/BGwxBgA60F — PolitiTweet.org

On the campaign trail, Trump said that he would “take care of everyone.” This was yet another lie as his administration has approved work requirements for Medicaid and tried to dismantle the Affordable Care Act from Day one. Here is the result. https://t.co/s9C4NgjRZd — PolitiTweet.org

We are losing the enthusiasm of young voters and their idealism. Can you please reconsider the policy ⁦@CheriBustos⁩. I have always respected you and get you have a tough job. But this is the wrong policy and hurts our mobilization efforts. https://t.co/8fvjsgW1Hv — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s no surprise that corporations spend millions every year lobbying Congress. Their efforts usually pay off. To create a government that works for ordinary Americans, we need campaign finance reform that gets lobbyists and special interests out of our elections. https://t.co/uZwpUnqpcL — PolitiTweet.org

UnitedHealthcare spent $16.2M on lobbying in the past two years, which is more than they spent from 2012 to 2016. They know that Medicare for All is gaining momentum and would end their ability to make billions in profits while many Americans can’t even afford to see a doctor. — PolitiTweet.org
