Brown v. Board of Education became settled law 65 years ago today – yet time and time again we’ve seen the president’s nominees unwilling to agree that this case was correctly decided. It’s 2019 – the only answer is “yes.” https://t.co/e8utU5xPvw — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

#FBF to when I asked Brett Kavanaugh: Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body? I’m still wondering. https://t.co/3eiMJnYDoV — PolitiTweet.org

Presidents nominate judges – they don’t appoint them. But senators have repeatedly been blocked from fulfilling our duty to advise and consent to judicial nominees in our home states. I will continue to oppose Bress’ nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Daniel Bress has been nominated to the Ninth Circuit in California but doesn’t live in our state and is not a California lawyer. Yet Republicans are moving forward with his nomination despite opposition from both California Senators. This is unprecedented. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Make no mistake: foreign adversaries are preparing to meddle in our upcoming elections. That's why I joined @RonWyden on a bill this week to require one of the single best things to secure our federal elections: hand-marked paper ballots. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

DHS’s surveillance of journalists, activists, and lawyers at our border has nothing to do with protecting our homeland and it must end. My colleagues & I are demanding answers from Acting DHS Secretary McAleenan. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

One of my Republican colleagues admitted this week that Leader McConnell is blocking all legislation aimed at securing elections. Foreign adversaries are already gearing up to target our next elections. This is an absurd level of irresponsibility - the time to get ready is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Read this and understand why these anti-abortion bills are so abhorrent. Forcing women - sometimes 11 year old girls - who have been raped to give birth is unconscionable. We must stand up, speak out and fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

If true, this is cruel and reprehensible. Government agencies should never be in the business of arresting children and terrorizing families. We need answers from current officials on where they stand on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My colleagues and I have just introduced a bill to require paper ballots in all federal elections. The reason is simple - Russia can't hack a piece of paper. https://t.co/rVL7z91ysV — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Kenneth Lee repeatedly lacked transparency about controversial writings on race, the LGBTQ community, sexual assault survivors & more. This should have been disqualifying - instead, Senate Republicans just appointed him to a lifetime appointment to the Ninth Circuit. I voted NO. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

"We don't know a planet like this." There's more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere today than anytime since humans have been on Earth - and humans are the main cause of it. This is an existential threat and we must take bold action. https://t.co/13D64cW4pC — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio & now Alabama - these anti-abortion bills aren't a coincidence, it's a concerted effort by the GOP to overturn Roe v. Wade. I'm sick and tired of this outright assault on women's bodily autonomy - we will fight this with everything we've got. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Over the past few weeks, I've tried repeatedly to get to the bottom of whether the White House has inappropriately ordered or pressured the Justice Department to open investigations. Attorney General Barr: I'm still waiting for an answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Last night, the White House proposed slashing Pell grant funding by nearly $3.9 billion. More than 8 million low-income college kids rely on this. We already have students forgoing meals & sleeping in cars because they can't afford the rising costs of college. This is backwards. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The lack of parks in cities robs people, especially children in underserved communities, of the mental & physical health benefits of being active and spending time outdoors. Today I reintroduced a bill to ensure communities have access to parks and open spaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The right to counsel is a fundamental tenet of the American legal system - but the system breaks down when we have public defenders who are overworked and underpaid. I’ve introduced a bill to boost pay and resources for public defenders. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

These reports continue to paint a picture of a president determined to hide something from the American people. Enough. It’s time for Mueller to testify before Congress about the facts of his two-year investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The Trump administration sabotaged the Affordable Care Act – and now the CDC is reporting that 1.1 million people lost their health coverage in 2018. Health care should be a right in our country, not a privilege for those who can afford it. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today, the Senate will vote to advance Kenneth Lee's nomination to the Ninth Circuit. I called for Lee to be withdrawn months ago after he failed to disclose 75+ writings in his record, including controversial ones on race. He shouldn't even be up for a vote today—I'm voting NO. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Make no mistake: the American people are the ones paying the price in this escalating trade war. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Don't let this go unnoticed: we recently learned that the Trump administration plans to divert $1.5 billion in military funds for the president's vanity project of a border wall. This is reckless & the height of irresponsibility—the American people don't want a wall. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Everyone should be deeply troubled by the Vice President stating that the Trump administration wants to prevent our courts from issuing nationwide blocks to their abhorrent policies. This is a blatant affront to our system of checks and balances and must be stopped. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This week, the House is expected to vote on the #EqualityAct to include sexual orientation & gender identity as protected classes under the Civil Rights Act. It's long past time we codified these protections. I'm proud to support this bill in the Senate - we have to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This Mother's Day, I'm thinking about all the mothers who should be with their children but are instead separated from them bc of the Trump administration's family separation policy. They'll never be able to recover this time lost together - we must fight until they're reunited. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

As our public lands continue to be attacked by the Trump administration, it's critical that we fight back. That's why I recently introduced three bills to expand protections for over *1 million acres* of public land in California. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It's no secret that Black and brown students are disciplined at higher rates. And the consequences can be severe - from trauma to a direct pipeline to incarceration. Restorative justice programs - like the one in my hometown of Oakland - are crucial to reversing this trend. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My colleagues and I are calling on DHS to answer for its disturbing surveillance of journalists, activists, and lawyers in recent months. This abuse of power is contrary to the ideals of our country - DHS should be focusing on actual threats to our homeland, not civilians. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Let me be clear: the Department of Justice is not a weapon for the president to use against perceived enemies. The American people must have confidence that those entrusted with enforcing our laws will act with fairness and impartiality. This isn’t a game. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Thank you @LenaWaithe and @MTV for shining a light on this crisis in Black maternal health. We must continue to speak this truth and take action to remove implicit bias from the health care system and deliver better care for Black mothers. https://t.co/1n1pPQlL6F — PolitiTweet.org
