Mr. President, As a survivor of war, I want to tell you: going to war does not make you strong. It makes you weak. — PolitiTweet.org

🤦🏽‍♀️Of course, putting war profiteers in change totally makes sense to an administration that always puts profits over people. Thank you Senator for keeping an eye on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Hunger and debt are a national problem. We have a responsibility to outlaw the practice of school lunch debt shaming — I’m proud to have introduced a bill yesterday to do exactly that. Now let’s get it done. https://t.co/leotyQSvrq — PolitiTweet.org

At a time when we are seeing a record number of displaced people, forced into becoming refugees, we must remember to have compassion and open hearts and minds to those experiencing unfathomable circumstances. Join me in saying refugees are welcome here! — PolitiTweet.org

The seven-time Grammy Award winning singer @GloriaEstefan, who has been making people sing and dance for years, fled Cuba with her family at the age of two after Fidel Castro rose to power. Anything is possible. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Madeleine Albright: The first woman Secretary of State. Her family fled Prague when Hitler invaded during WWII. As her op-ed here says: “…when given the opportunity to rebuild their lives in a welcoming country, refugees make enormous contributions.” 4/https://t.co/PT7lQ0eDuu — PolitiTweet.org

There’s @hamdiulukaya, founder & CEO of Chobani, who works to provide dignified work and a sense of community to refugees. He also founded @TentOrg, dedicated to improving the lives of refugees. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do, Hamdi! 3/ https://t.co/wfqQC1tC6R — PolitiTweet.org

We met Tanitoluwa in March when he became a New York State chess champion. His family came to America as Nigerian refugees, proving you can do and be anything here in America. 2/ https://t.co/2A09HlA0Cl — PolitiTweet.org

Just as in Iraq, aggressors are using illegitimate pretexts to beat the drums of war. Just as in Iraq, our media is taking these claims at face value. Just as in Iraq, children will die, American lives will be lost, and the world will be less safe. #NoWarWithIran — PolitiTweet.org

“To carry out such wars, American leaders have contrived pretexts to justify American aggression. That’s what Donald Trump’s administration—and especially its national security adviser, John Bolton—is doing now with Iran.” Must read ⬇️ https://t.co/nwLFrw2yaX — PolitiTweet.org

It is the result of a political system that says it is okay to spend money on tax breaks for millionaires (and billionaires) and the same companies that tanked our economy while we let children go hungry in our schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We know that going hungry is not a choice. No child chooses to skip a meal. And hunger in this country is not the result of scarcity, we are a nation with tremendous wealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Across the country students whose families are struggling to afford school meals are being singled out and humiliated at lunchtime. — PolitiTweet.org

My amendment that pushes to protect green-energy funding from Trump, just passed the House 🙌🏽✊🏽 It was incredibly worrisome that this administration would try to use a program designed for renewable energy to line the pockets of polluters. https://t.co/QcOk5vk44P — PolitiTweet.org
