100 years ago today, Congress passed the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote. On this day, we must also celebrate the contributions of women of color, like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Mary Church Terrell, who were essential to that fight. — PolitiTweet.org

We're facing a climate crisis: from rising sea levels to extreme weather, the impacts are already being felt. That's why I just introduced the Living Shorelines Act with @ChrisMurphyCT to protect our precious coastal communities by using green infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

This is child abuse being committed by the United States government. Everyone should be outraged that this is happening in America and Trump administration officials must be held accountable. Children should be treated with compassion, not forced to sleep two nights in a van. — PolitiTweet.org

Reminder that the Trump tax cuts of 2017 were a complete scam for working & middle-class Americans. Right now, the rules in America have been rewritten to overwhelmingly benefit corporations and the top 1%. That needs to change—I'm proposing a real tax credit for working people. — PolitiTweet.org

The reason paper ballots would help secure our elections is really simple: our foreign adversaries can't hack a piece of paper. We have a bill right now in the Senate to require hand-marked paper ballots in all federal elections—we must pass it immediately. This can't wait. — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: Congress finally approved almost $20 billion to help all survivors of recent natural disasters. This is great news but let's be clear: Republicans stalled this bill for far too long. It's shameful to have supposed leaders play politics when Americans are hurting. — PolitiTweet.org

A great story out of California: Jirayut “New” Latthivongskorn is the first undocumented student to graduate from UC San Francisco's School of Medicine in its 155-year history. Proud to have him in our state. https://t.co/X1oR3lDVI0 — PolitiTweet.org

Just over a year after Roxsana Hernandez died in ICE custody, we're learning of another death of a transgender woman following weeks of detainment. My heart goes out to Johana's loved ones—we need answers on the circumstances of her death and whether it was preventable. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Far too many LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face discrimination in America. This #PrideMonth, we should pass the Equality Act in the Senate to ensure sexual orientation and gender identity are explicitly protected under the Civil Rights Act. It's just the right thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Here's a startling fact: in 99% of U.S. counties, a person working a full time minimum wage job can't afford a 1-bedroom apartment at fair market rate. That's why I introduced the Rent Relief Act to give a tax credit for Americans whose housing costs exceed 30% of their income. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

As uncomfortable as it is, we must speak truth that Black mothers are 3 to 4 times more likely die from pregnancy-r… https://t.co/6PCzqQcElS — PolitiTweet.org

The American people pay the price for the president’s trade war, full stop. Picking a trade dispute with Mexico is not only irresponsible but does nothing to help the humanitarian crisis at our border and will continue to drag down American businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

What a remarkable achievement for these 8 kids – and the joy on their faces is utterly contagious. A special congratulations to Rishik Gandhasri from California! https://t.co/nNxEZa7eSh — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration wants to politicize the Census by adding a citizenship question. And what's more—now we know political operatives intended it to distort the count in favor of Republicans. This is undemocratic. My colleagues & I are calling for investigations into this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today marks 2 years since the Trump administration pulled out of the Paris Agreement. And they have continued to name climate skeptics & oil lobbyists to key posts that are supposed to be about protecting our environment. We must continue fighting this assault on our future. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This Pride Month, I'm reminded of the tremendous progress our country has made toward full equality —but also that many LGBTQ individuals continue to face discrimination simply because of who they are & who they love. We must continue fighting. #LoveisLove https://t.co/0mrSuRZfb7 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

A new report finds that actions by the Trump administration have likely caused 1 million children to lose health coverage. 1 million children. The health of our babies shouldn't be political—this sabotage by the administration must end. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Too many Americans face skyrocketing rent prices and can barely afford a roof over their head. I introduced the Rent Relief Act to give a monthly refundable tax credit for Americans whose housing costs exceed 30% of their income, including rent and utilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This much is clear: political operatives crafted the citizenship question to depress the response rate among immigrants and distort the Census count in favor of Republican areas. Three federal courts have already ruled against the question—SCOTUS must do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Here's the truth: foreign adversaries are preparing to interfere in our upcoming elections. It’s the height of irresponsibility for Senate Republicans to continue blocking legislation that would help secure our elections. The Senate must vote to secure our elections immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Violence against women is real in America. And data suggest that Latinas, Black women, and Native women experience domestic violence at alarmingly high rates. We can't accept this as normal—the Senate must pass the Violence Against Women Act & expand support for survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We cannot continue to have an Attorney General who has misled the American public about Robert Mueller's investigation and the contents of the report. I'll say it again: AG Barr must resign. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

After Mueller’s comments yesterday, this much is clear: it’s up to Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty to act as a check on the president and his administration. I urge my colleagues to finally put the rule of law over party loyalty. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Two months ago, I sent Attorney General Barr a letter demanding answers on the DOJ's indefensible attempt to overturn the Affordable Care Act. I still haven't gotten a response. Nearly 20 million Americans risk losing their health coverage because of this - we need answers now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Teachers in California are once again striking for better wages and to be treated with the dignity they deserve. To all the New Haven teachers: stay strong and know that I am with you in solidarity. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

These children should still be alive today. The Trump administration must answer whether these deaths were preventable and for the systemic, traumatic, and in some cases fatal, disregard for human well-being at our border. This cannot continue in America - we must do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The LIFT Act, my bill to give middle class and working families a real tax credit available at up to $500 a month, would benefit: -half of American families -2 out of 3 American children -60% of Black families We must pass it in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Lonnie Bunch was the founding director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture—and now, he's been tapped as the @smithsonian’s first Black secretary in its 173-year history. Congratulations, Lonnie, on this historic moment! https://t.co/DQ7wSNfeBl — PolitiTweet.org

These graduation photos are stunning – California is lucky to have people like Teresa and Claudio. https://t.co/AxKioerfzV — PolitiTweet.org

Highest CO2 levels in human history. Warming and acidifying oceans. Rising sea levels. More severe weather. Rising global temperatures. Climate change is here—ignoring the science doesn't make it any less real. This administration is playing games with our lives and planet. — PolitiTweet.org
