Her opponent said that people needed “a man’s voice in Washington,” not that of a “little schoolteacher.” The "little schoolteacher" won. “I am the people’s politician,” she said. — PolitiTweet.org

The health of the economy is not measured by the stock market, but by how hardworking middle class families are doing. We need to keep costs under control, wages rising, and opportunities available for ourselves and our children. This is how we keep America moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Our COVID relief bill put checks in pockets and funded tests, vaccines, and masks. Our infrastructure bill is putting the US economy on its way back to pre-COVID health. It’s time to rebuild. — PolitiTweet.org

As a mother and grandmother, I know firsthand how demanding and costly it is to raise children. But our children deserve it. They are our treasures and our future. A solid investment in child care should include: — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of older Americans with disabilities need high quality home care. Millions of others need help with reliable, affordable child care. Investment in families will empower caregivers and reduce costs. — PolitiTweet.org

We should catch more murderers. Last week Republican and Democratic Members of Congress spoke in Philadelphia in support by my legislation to help police departments hire more homicide detectives and solve violent crimes. Proud to have their support. https://t.co/JhkXVuyOry — PolitiTweet.org

Violence in our communities is simply unacceptable. Violent extremists have no right to harm or threaten others and law enforcement needs the support and tools necessary to confront these dangers. — PolitiTweet.org

So far, wage growth has been stronger than price increases, but we need to do more to bring down costs for Florida families. I’m working to reduce the cost of health care, child care, senior care, gasoline, and groceries. — PolitiTweet.org

Tragically, Jesse Brown died on that mountain, leaving behind a wife and two year old. But today he is remembered as a hero. Said his friend Roland Christensen, "A man's greatness is not measured by the years he's had here but the way he lived his life." #BlackHistoryMonth — PolitiTweet.org

In an act of immense courage, flightmate Tom Hudner intentionally crash landed his own plane to get to his fellow pilot. "If it wasn't Jesse down there, I don't know if I'd have taken the chance I did," he said. "Jesse would have done the same thing." https://t.co/rR3bICzYgI — PolitiTweet.org

Brown became the Navy's first Black pilot. Then, on 4 December 1950, Brown was part of a search and destroy mission in Korea when his plane was damaged. He crashed, pinned beneath his aircraft in sub-zero weather. His flightmates assumed he had been killed, then saw him waving. — PolitiTweet.org

One trainer, Roland Christensen, befriended the lone Black recruit and volunteered to teach him. They remained friends long after. "I'm trying to get accepted into this place here," Brown wrote in one letter to Christensen after a transfer. "I guess that I shall, finally." — PolitiTweet.org

He tried to join the school's aviation program, but was denied. Then, he learned of an available Navy program, and enlisted. He wanted to fly. — PolitiTweet.org

Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens, he attended Ohio State University, paying his way with jobs as a waiter, janitor, store clerk, dry cleaner, and boxcar loader, working until midnight but maintaining top grades. — PolitiTweet.org

His father took him to an air show at age six. As a paperboy, he read in the newspaper about pioneering Black aviators. He wrote to the White House to ask that Black Americans be allowed to fly. He'd look up from working in fields and say, "I'm going to fly one of those one day." — PolitiTweet.org

“Always courageous,” U.S. Navy pilot Jesse LeRoy Brown was the U.S. Navy's first Black pilot, and the first Black naval officer killed in the Korean War. His heroism in service to our country earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/c08stWHgYs — PolitiTweet.org

Florida’s economy depends on our ports and waterways to stay afloat. Our infrastructure plan will bring in new opportunities for job and economic growth. I'm glad that our plan passed with both Democratic and Republican support, but unfortunately Florida's Republicans voted no. — PolitiTweet.org
