We don’t yet know the motivation for the murders in Atlanta yesterday but we know that unacceptable attacks against Asian Americans have skyrocketed. National leaders who have inflamed anti-Asian sentiment share the responsibility. — PolitiTweet.org

I am praying for the victims and their families in Atlanta. Please take time today to think of them and the lives they led—their loved ones and friends, their work and struggles, and their hard work to build a life here, just like every one of us. — PolitiTweet.org

We are in an historic crisis, and it demands a response that meets the needs of the American people. @HouseDemocrats and @POTUS are rising to the moment with the most impactful anti-poverty legislation since LBJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Her battle to restore the #Everglades began in her later years. She founded @FoEverglades at age 79 and fought corporate & government representatives half her age and twice her size, using humor, wit, and perseverance to wear them down and win. A remarkable Floridian. https://t.co/bMHy4UDGeZ — PolitiTweet.org

As a writer for the @MiamiHerald she drew attention to issues of poverty and injustice, including the lack of running water in Black communities. She fought in the 1950s for the #ERA, which we are still struggling to pass today—including a new vote in the House this week. https://t.co/L0j7bfXNC6 — PolitiTweet.org

Marjory Stoneman Douglas was a pioneering environmental activist, journalist, and suffragette who helped restore Florida’s Everglades and fought her whole life for civil rights. The "Grande Dame of the Everglades" lived to 108 and spent each year well. #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/J2ytybgIw6 — PolitiTweet.org

In 2017, more than 4,000 prohibited people received guns due to the Charleston Loophole. Nearly a quarter of them had a history of domestic violence. The Senate must join us to stop guns from getting into the wrong hands. — PolitiTweet.org

Farm workers are essential, skilled, and undervalued. This week we’re passing new legislation to uphold the dignity and rights of the people who grow our food. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

In a democracy, when we empower workers we empower the rights and liberties of all. The Protecting the Right to Organize Act: - Empowers workers to organize - Holds employers accountable for violating workers’ rights - Protects free, fair, and safe union elections — PolitiTweet.org

Our children are our future. The #AmericanRescuePlan is going to transform lives for millions. It will help stop the bleeding, rescue us from this crisis, and let us get to a place where we can start a real recovery to #BuildBackBetter. https://t.co/dnjV0C8Spm — PolitiTweet.org

Billionaires aren’t the solution to our problems. Instead, they’ve gotten far richer while millions of others struggle. We need to build a country that works for all of us, not just a handful of people at the top. https://t.co/RQkbdsIbtY — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Orlando Police Officer Kevin Valencia. Kevin was severely wounded in 2018 after responding to a domestic violence call where the subject killed 4 children and shot Officer Valencia. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems hard to get Americans to agree on much these days, but 94% of us agree that the Constitution should guarantee equality based on gender. @HoueDemocrats are passing legislation this week to take the next step towards making that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Enough fearmongering. Enough hate. DREAMers are immigrants who were brought to America as children. They are as American as anyone else. This week we will pass legislation to protect them. — PolitiTweet.org

The #AmericanRescuePlan is the most significant emergency relief legislation for low- and middle-income Americans in our nation’s history. It will crush this virus and get millions of people back on their feet. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

@Red_Tanager @JanetIler Basically, there is a lot of legislative business and not enough time, so "uncontroversial" bills are typically passed in bulk. However, it is easy to obstruct this if your only interest is obstruction. As you say, we'll still get it done, but this makes it harder and slower. — PolitiTweet.org

The #AmericanRescuePlan, supported by 75% of Americans but no Congressional Republicans, will reduce child poverty by half through an expanded child credit of $3,000 per child and an extra $600 for children under six. — PolitiTweet.org

The #AmericanRescuePlan, supported by 75% of Americans but no Congressional Republicans, will get people back to work and save small businesses with expanded grant programs, plus support for first responders, health workers, teachers, transit workers and other essential workers. — PolitiTweet.org
