It takes courage to confront issues of mental health. I’m grateful @JasonKander is on the path to recovery and hope his story inspires others to seek help. If you’re a veteran in need of help, please call the VA Crisis Line 1–800–273–8255. — PolitiTweet.org

When women's reproductive rights are under attack, we have to fight to ensure access to reproductive health care—and that includes contraception. My colleagues and I introduced a bill to expand access to over-the-counter birth control and make it more affordable. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It is a privilege to serve in Congress with the next generation of leaders in our country. @RepUnderwood, you are an inspiration to young women - especially women of color - everywhere. https://t.co/DetkFmmoMI — PolitiTweet.org

History will judge Republican leadership harshly for deliberately ignoring the threat of foreign interference in our democracy. We will continue to fight for these bills—there is nothing more important than fighting for the integrity of our democracy and our election systems. — PolitiTweet.org

What an amazing story—Ava Kopecky is an outstanding example of how Girl Scouts are leading both in their own communities, and across our nation. Thank you for your bravery, Ava! https://t.co/6kQbeERMQY — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We must speak truth that past efforts to protect our men and women in uniform from sexual assault have failed, and we must change the system. Proud to join my colleagues today on a bill to reform the military justice system to better protect service members and support survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Deciding whether to seek an abortion can be one of the most difficult decisions a woman can make. Thank you, @RepJayapal, for bravely sharing your story and reminding us why it's so critical that women everywhere have the chance to make this deeply personal choice in their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: My resolution condemning the anti-Semitic attack at the Chabad of Poway Synagogue just passed. Anti-Semitism—and all forms of bigotry—have no place in our country. Glad we came together today to honor the victims, and speak out against white nationalism & white supremacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

With so much happening, it's critical that this doesn't get buried: the Trump Administration is blocking access to documents related to its attempt to manipulate the Census in favor of Republicans. This is un-democratic, it's un-American, and it must be stopped. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This #PrideMonth, we must recommit to lifting up the voices of LGBTQ+ Americans and fighting on behalf of those who face discrimination because of who they are and who they love. That's why I joined my colleagues in a Senate resolution to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The President of the United States has a duty to defend our democracy. This is a clear signal to our foreign adversaries that he won't. The Senate must pass election security legislation. We have a national security threat in the White House and this can't wait any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Our public defenders shouldn’t be hitting the breaking point because of their jobs. My EQUAL Defense Act would boost pay and resources for public defenders, including setting limits on their workloads. https://t.co/N1Tpho14D2 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

There is an epidemic of violence against Native American women. Approximately 56% of Native women have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime & many women and girls are murdered or have gone missing. I've cosponsored Savanna's Act to commit resources to ending this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Every working parent deserves access to high-quality, affordable child care. For too many, that's simply not a reality. It's time we changed that. I'm proud to cosponsor a bill to limit the cost of child care for working families. #ChildrensWeek2019 https://t.co/xee3waVjYd — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

On the anniversary of one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history, we remember the 49 lives lost at #PulseNightclub to senseless gun violence & bigotry. We must continue to fight for a world in which these tragedies no longer happen. Today, we honor these victims: https://t.co/swQTDuobLX — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

A new study found that salaries for college educated women max out at an average *35K less* than similarly educated men. This has countless implications for women's lives and it's ridiculous that it's happening in 2019. Congress must pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct—this has to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Senate Republicans continue to block legislation to overturn the FCC's repeal of #NetNeutrality, making it loud and clear their choice to side with corporations over the American people. We will continue to fight for this bill—the American people deserve so much better. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Our children are our future, and as leaders we have to ensure their health and well-being is at the forefront of everything we do. We introduced bills today to increase transparency about federal investments in our children. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Ken Cuccinelli has advocated for ending birthright citizenship and compared immigrants to rats. These views are abhorrent— he is unfit for any position overseeing our immigration system. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

One of the consequences of Alabama's anti-abortion law is that women could be forced to share custody of their children with their abusers. This is horrific. No woman should have to endure this. We have to fight this law with everything we've got. https://t.co/d7RE7DyBeF — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

56 years ago, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law—a major milestone in the fight for women's equality in the U.S. In 2019, that fight continues. Too many women are still paid less than their male colleagues for the same job. That's why we must pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Last week, @SenJeffMerkley and I teamed up to demand the State Department stop discriminating against American LGBTQ+ couples whose children are born abroad. These couples are entitled to the same rights under our Constitution, no matter whom they love. https://t.co/o9E0vkcper — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Ken Cuccinelli has fiercely advocated for ending birthright citizenship in the U.S. Today, the Trump administration appointed him to head the agency in charge of citizenship and immigration services. Cuccinelli's appointment is a threat to our country's ideals—I will fight this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Housing is a human right. Yet far too many cannot afford to put a roof over their head. This is a crisis and we need smart policies to help Americans afford life's basic necessities. I wrote the LIFT Act & Rent Relief Act to be a part of that solution. https://t.co/if0jDKkhJj — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The White House is blocking our intelligence officials from reporting that climate change is a threat to our country. Lives are at stake and the administration is choosing to ignore this threat because of politics. This is an absolute failure of leadership from the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

ICYMI—I wrote an op-ed on why we need to boost pay and resources for our public defenders, and my bill to do just that. Because when a public defender can’t do his or her job well, our entire criminal justice system breaks down. https://t.co/UrlpdKnqr2 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

To everyone in Los Angeles celebrating #Pride this weekend and attending this year’s parade— march with joy, march with laughter, march with pride. I stand with you today and every day. https://t.co/riUNWHakQg — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The next major election in the U.S. is just over a year from now and Congress still hasn't passed comprehensive legislation to protect our elections. The time to prepare ourselves is now. We have bills to protect our elections sitting in the Senate—we must pass them right away. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

As we recognize #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, let’s remember that our country’s strength has always come from our diversity and unity. We are a nation of immigrants—and that's something to celebrate. https://t.co/J4VRKwEtYR — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Women in Missouri who choose to have a legal abortion are being forced to undergo an invasive pelvic examination—not because it's medically necessary, but because the state mandates it. This is downright reprehensible and exactly why we must fight. https://t.co/XTLnp6zSK5 — PolitiTweet.org
