The facts in our report make it clear: the Russian government mounted a deliberate and systematic attack on America’s election infrastructure in 2016. They will be back. We're months away from the beginning of our next major elections. The time to protect our democracy is now. — PolitiTweet.org

100 people die from gun violence every day in America. This is a public health crisis and there’s no reason for Congress to continue restricting gun violence research. The House recently approved $50 million in research funding—it's time for the Senate to do its job. — PolitiTweet.org

No student, no matter their circumstances, should have to worry about going hungry or keeping a roof over their head. Today I'm proud to introduce the BASIC Act to help college students afford basic, day-to-day necessities. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

He's also a former top defense lobbyist and has refused to fully recuse himself from matters related to the company where he used to work. There’s just no excuse for that. The American people deserve better than this—we will continue to hold the Trump administration accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I voted NO on Mark Esper’s nomination to be Secretary of Defense. Let me tell you why. During his confirmation process, Esper made misleading comments about transgender people that cast doubt on whether he would protect transgender troops serving our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Grateful that Francisco has been released but let's be clear: there is absolutely no excuse for ICE’s detention of this American citizen for almost a month. We need answers about what exactly happened and officials must be held accountable. https://t.co/c5LoESvjaK — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We already know what this is: a thinly veiled attempt to "redefine" human rights to exclude women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ rights. We've sent a letter making it clear that we won't stand for this. https://t.co/AuvidfXVzC — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I'll say it again: If we're going to legalize marijuana, we have to do it right. Yesterday I introduced a bill with @RepJerryNadler to not only decriminalize marijuana but also help ensure people of color have a chance to succeed in the legal marijuana industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I can’t stress enough how close the Affordable Care Act is to being dismantled in court right now. The DOJ is arguing that the ACA is unconstitutional in a Texas lawsuit. This threat is real. The Republican assault on Americans’ health care has to end. #SaveTheACA — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The firefighters and first responders who answered the call on 9/11 deserve to know that our government stands with them. Earlier today I was proud to vote YES on a bill that gives 9/11 first responders and their families the support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

One of the best parts of my job is getting to spend some time with our interns each session. A fun fact I always tell them—I was once an intern in the very office I’m in today when I was a student at Howard University. https://t.co/EGXy9Eq3HF — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Utterly disgraceful that the Trump administration is reportedly ending deportation protections for military families. There is simply no reason for this other than inflicting cruelty. We’re demanding that the administration reverse course on this immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The War on Drugs was an abject failure that disproportionately criminalized people of color—it's time we take steps to fix that. Today I’m introducing a bill to decriminalize marijuana and bring justice to communities of color harmed by failed drug policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The alarming rate at which indigenous women are murdered or missing is not getting the attention it deserves. We have two bills in Congress to help address this—the Violence Against Women Act and Savanna’s Act. This isn’t about politics. We must pass these bills immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

“There are no activities, only crying.” “I’ve been here without bathing for 21 days.” “I’m so hungry that I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with hunger.” These are real testimonies from immigrant children in U.S. custody. The Trump administration must end this abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

When I was AG of California, I took on Big Banks that bankrupted hardworking Americans. I'm committed to making sure Attorneys General today have the tools to do the same. I introduced a bill recently to give state attorneys general more power to hold Wall Street accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

In too many communities, children are growing up drinking contaminated water and families are struggling with rising water bills. That shouldn't happen in America. I'm announcing a bill today to address our water crisis—because access to clean water is a fundamental right. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Schools, hospitals, courthouses, and churches. No one should fear being caught up in an immigration raid when they walk into these places. We've introduced a bill to prohibit immigration enforcement in these sensitive locations. It's the right thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Just over year ago, I visited the Otay Mesa detention facility where I met with mothers who had been separated from their children. Their words broke my heart. We have to keep fighting for those who come to our border seeking asylum and a better life. https://t.co/9XCK57CeUG — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

.@RepCummings is right. We would never treat our own children this way, and this abuse of immigrant children in U.S. custody must end. We’ve introduced a bill to do just that—Congress must pass it immediately. https://t.co/32Tq17faDp — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We must be clear about this: there are not two sides when it comes to racism and xenophobia in America. It must be unequivocally denounced wherever and whenever it occurs, period. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is a complete affront to who we are as a country. This administration is tearing down and betraying those words enshrined on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." We will fight back. https://t.co/JNv8i5uIwW — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

50 years ago the Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon and inspired generations of Americans to be optimistic about our country's future, unburdened by what has been. Today we must also remember the women of NASA who worked on the Apollo 11 mission, including Margaret Hamilton. https://t.co/yDXG1xBSmk — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today marks 171 years since the beginning of the Seneca Falls convention, paving the way for the struggle for women’s rights. The fight continues. https://t.co/sEAekLZDfL — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Earlier this week we did something that's never been done before: Introduced a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. Domestic workers have long been denied the value, dignity, and legal protections they deserve. It's time to change that. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Read this to understand the pain that immigrants face because of prolonged separation from their families. Heydi was just 13-years-old and should still be alive today. My heart goes out to her father, Manuel. This is a loss no parent should endure. https://t.co/UXZko6oNu1 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The Trump administration’s move to restrict asylum is deliberately cruel. They are exacerbating human suffering and punishing desperate people for fleeing violence and poverty. This won’t address the root causes of this crisis or keep our country safe. We are better than this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Earlier today the House passed a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. It's outrageous that Congress hasn't raised the federal minimum wage in 10 years. $7.25 an hour isn't enough. Senate Republicans must stop obstructing legislation and pass this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We know adversaries are intent on interfering in our democracy. But Senate Republicans are still blocking legislation to secure our elections. I’m sick and tired of this. The time to secure our elections is now—while there’s still time. — PolitiTweet.org
