As Orlando’s former Chief of Police, I saw that our community was safer and better when we stood for accountability and opportunity for all. I brought this same attitude to these community project designations, which I requested as part of this year's budget. — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis taught us that when we see something that is not right, not just, not fair, we have to do something. He taught us not to lose hope—that this is the struggle of many lifetimes. He taught us to get in #GoodTrouble. One year already. We miss you. https://t.co/O94KTlt76H — PolitiTweet.org

I grew up the youngest of seven children in a two-bedroom home. My parents, a maid and janitor, worked hard every day to make ends meet. When I voted for the historic new #ChildTaxCredit I thought of my parents and all parents who want the best for their children. #HelpIsHere. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Starting today, #ChildTaxCredit payments start to arrive. This is historic middle-class support, and one of the most significant reductions in child poverty ever. Proud that we got this done. Let’s make it permanent. — PolitiTweet.org
