There are no women or women of color on our paper currency, and this plan to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 is meant to begin addressing that. The Trump administration must stop obstructing this. https://t.co/Ex5mGj2fRL — PolitiTweet.org

Saudi Arabia must be held accountable for Jamal Khashoggi's murder and for its human rights abuses in Yemen. The last thing we should do is sell them billions in weapons. That's why this week I voted to block the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now in America, approximately 100 people are killed by guns and hundreds more shot or injured every single day. We can’t accept this as normal. The House passed the Bipartisan Backgrounds Check Act to help address this. When will Senate Republicans have the courage to act? — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

There's an epidemic of violence against Native American women, and these officials have the gall to show up to a hearing on this issue completely unprepared? This is unacceptable. https://t.co/pfXTbVmNc3 — PolitiTweet.org

This is child abuse happening at the hands of the United States government. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

PrEP is the most effective tool in the fight against HIV, reducing the risk by up to 92%. Yesterday, I introduced a new bill to dramatically expand access to PrEP by requiring public/private insurance to cover it with no out-of-pocket costs (including tests & follow-up visits). — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This #RefugeeDay and every day, I'm committed to fighting for an America where we welcome refugees and immigrants & fight for the dignity of all people—no matter where they come from. That's why I cosponsored a bill to ensure refugees are welcome in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Disgraceful. The Trump administration has been given the go-ahead to prohibit health care providers that participate in Title X from referring patients for abortion services. Women will suffer because the administration is playing politics with health care. I will fight this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today, Republicans moved forward with Daniel Bress's nomination to fill a California seat on the Ninth Circuit. I won't even talk about his professional merits—he's not a California-based lawyer and he doesn't belong on the Ninth Circuit. https://t.co/C1qCCeFWwA — PolitiTweet.org

Something you may have missed: the Trump administration is arguing in court that they aren't required to provide detained children at the border with soap or toothbrushes. They even argued it's OK for children to sleep on cold concrete floors. This is downright immoral. — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to the family of Sacramento Officer Tara Christina O’Sullivan, who passed away last night following an incident while in the line of duty. My thoughts are with her loved ones, colleagues, and community during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Proud to introduce the PrEP Access and Coverage Act today, my new bill to: ✅require all health care plans to cover PrEP, follow-up visits, and tests with no out-of-pocket costs ✅expand access to PrEP for those uninsured ✅prohibit insurance discrimination against PrEP users — PolitiTweet.org

“My son is gone. That’s my fire. I don’t have anything left of him but this fight for him.” No one should get cut from insurance because they're $20 short. The cost of health care is drowning far too many Americans - it's time we passed Medicare for All. https://t.co/PuOmTsxx0A — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we celebrate #Juneteenth by recognizing the hard fought road that led to emancipation and recommitting ourselves to fighting for a more perfect union. If you don't know about Juneteenth, take a few minutes to learn about it today: https://t.co/GGWipud7lF — PolitiTweet.org

Joy Harjo has been a leader in the Native American community for decades—and now she's the first Native American poet laureate in our nation’s history. Congratulations, Joy, on this well-deserved honor! https://t.co/9iPSZo48Xk — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier today, the EPA rolled out its plan to give states the option to do *absolutely nothing* about reducing their carbon pollution. This is a failure of leadership from the Trump administration that threatens lives—Americans deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Russia interfered in the 2016 election and that threat remains for 2020. There is no reason for Senate Republicans to continue blocking election security legislation, including our bill to require hand marked paper ballots. We need to get this done now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It's unbelievable that during #PrideMonth, Republicans have decided to vote on the nomination of Matthew Kacsmaryk for a lifetime position to the federal bench. Kacsmaryk has filed briefs opposing marriage equality and defending anti-transgender bathroom policies. I'm voting NO. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

If we want Americans to be ready for the next generation of jobs, then we need to help workers acquire the skills they'll need. Today I'm introducing the 21st Century SKILLS Act to make a serious investment in educating and training America's workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Let's call this what it is: an attempt to remake the demographics of our country by cracking down on immigrants. That this threat is coming from the President of the United States is deeply reprehensible and an affront to our values. We will fight this. https://t.co/AUShhjLh1H — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Grateful the State Department recognized the moral imperative to act on this case, and that Tu Le will receive the urgent and life-saving care he needs. My thoughts will be with Tu, his daughter Diem Trinh Colisao, and the rest of their family throughout the road ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The last time we raised the federal minimum wage was July 2009—almost 10 years ago. Today, $7.25 an hour is simply not enough for too many hardworking Americans. I'm proud to cosponsor the Raise the Wage Act because it's time we raised the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My hometown Mayor @LibbySchaaf is a leader who fights for her community. What the president is proposing is nothing more than an attempt to terrorize and crack down on immigrants, and we won’t tolerate this cruelty in our state or country. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is completely backwards & nothing more than a short-sighted attempt to throw red meat at the administration's base. Refugees are fleeing violence in Central America & these investments are crucial to addressing the root of these problems. Gutting resources isn't the answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The State Department is refusing to allow #Pride flags to fly at American embassies around the world. This is disgraceful—as LGBTQ+ people continue to face discrimination at home & abroad, it's critical that we signal our support internationally. They must reverse this policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The fight for women's reproductive rights must include expanding access to contraception. We've introduced a bill to make it more affordable and accessible by requiring insurance companies to cover birth control available over-the-counter. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @WhipClyburn: Today marks the 4th anniversary of the devastating tragedy that was the Emanuel AME Church shooting. While we offer our… — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Election security should be a nonpartisan issue, yet we have a national security threat in the White House who is publicly thanking Senate Republicans for blocking election security legislation. This is downright irresponsible - the time to secure our elections is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The president made it clear again last week he intends to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. I'm sick and tired of this. We should be expanding coverage for hardworking Americans, lowering the cost of prescriptions, and making health care more affordable. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It’s been nearly 10 years since the federal minimum wage was last increased – the longest our country has gone without raising it. $7.25 per hour is simply not enough for many hardworking Americans. It’s time for Congress to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. — PolitiTweet.org
