The Trump administration is attempting to erase transgender Americans. This is blatant discrimination. I stand with transgender Americans today and every day. https://t.co/bzwA8gxUMm — PolitiTweet.org

My message on this Memorial Day: we must always remember those who gave their lives for our country, and never forget their sacrifice. https://t.co/h0RxeTViAd — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this week I reintroduced my Maternal CARE Act to combat the maternal mortality crisis facing Black women. Because what’s good for our Black mothers is good for our babies, families, and communities—and it’s good for the entire country. https://t.co/qxx8aNJAHw — PolitiTweet.org

Last year's Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California’s history. It's outrageous that months later, many survivors are homeless & struggling to find temporary housing. FEMA must ensure survivors receive the housing assistance they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The House has already passed a bill to reauthorize and expand the Violence Against Women Act—but now it’s in the Senate's legislative graveyard. This makes no sense - expanding protections for sexual assault survivors shouldn't be about politics. We must pass it in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s past time that we fulfill our nation’s promise to honor the service of Filipino veterans who fought alongside American soldiers, sailors, and marines during World War II and reunite them with their families. #APAHM — PolitiTweet.org

The President’s attempts to derail the Mueller investigation, paired with AG Barr’s refusal to give clear answers to Congress, have raised serious concerns about the DOJ’s independence. Proud to work with @SenWhitehouse on a bill to protect the DOJ against meddling from the WH. — PolitiTweet.org

HUD is proposing a new rule that would threaten immigrant families with eviction and could displace tens of thousands of children — many American citizens — from their homes. This administration's cruel, anti-immigrant agenda knows no bounds. HUD must withdraw this proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

A few days ago the Trump administration announced plans to discriminate against transgender Americans in public housing. Now, they want to deny them health care. They’re trying to erase the rights of transgender Americans - but we won’t stand for it. We will fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I just sent the CEO of AT&T a letter demanding to know why 368 union technicians in California have been laid off. AT&T promised that the GOP tax law would mean thousands more jobs. Instead, they've laid off 20,000+ workers since the law passed. They broke their promise. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We must be clear about the fact that Roe v. Wade is under attack. The anti-abortion laws passed recently are designed to take away a woman's right to make decisions about her body. I'm committed to protecting women & their access to reproductive health care—we will fight this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We need to confront the fact that a foreign government interfered in the 2016 election and do more to improve our election security. Paper ballots are one of the best ways to secure our elections - that’s why we've introduced a bill to require these in all federal elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

A few days ago we learned about Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez's death in CBP custody. Now, we're seeing reports of a sixth girl who died in custody last year. She was 10 y/o. This is an outrage. We need answers from officials immediately on the circumstances of their deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This bill should have passed weeks ago. The truth is that the president played politics and caused needless delays in delivering critical aid to these communities. We've got to be better than this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I just voted on a bipartisan bill to approve almost $20 billion to help Americans recover from recent natural disasters. That includes wildfires in California, flooding in the Midwest & hurricanes in the South and Puerto Rico. Proud to support this - it's the right thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

In a majority of states, there are no state laws that explicitly protect LGBTQ people from being fired from their job or evicted from their home because of who they are or who they love. That’s why it’s so critical that we pass the #EqualityAct in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I’m going to share a story with you and I don’t mean to shock you, but it’s important to understand why we must treat women's bodies with dignity. My Maternal CARE Act is one step to ensuring our medical system finally treats Black women with the dignity they deserve. https://t.co/Gj4BXktOPn — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Every day we wait and don't address the Black maternal health crisis in America is a day we fail our Black mothers by allowing them to be at risk. I reintroduced my Maternal CARE Act today to combat implicit bias in our health care system. #ListentoBlackwomen — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

"...I was just invisible, like I didn't matter." No mother should feel invisible when talking to health care providers about her pain. We need to listen to Black mothers. We need to listen to Tamara. https://t.co/QayTprmUgF — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

In America today, Black mothers are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. This can’t be explained by genetics or lack of health care access - it's in part because Black mothers aren't being listened to. https://t.co/okujld7R33 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

“I felt like I was pushed aside, I felt like my feelings were taken for granted." Too often, when a Black woman walks into the doctor’s office or a hospital expressing issues with pain or discomfort, she is not taken seriously. My Maternal CARE Act would help change that. https://t.co/sZW16wtVYL — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Unconscious bias is common, but when you are a health care provider dealing with a life in your hands, it’s critical to recognize and check that bias. I just reintroduced my Maternal CARE Act with @RepAdams to combat implicit bias in our health care delivery system. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Black women are facing a maternal mortality crisis in part because of racial bias in our nation’s health care delivery system, and it’s time to change that. Today, I'm reintroducing the Maternal CARE Act, my bill to fund implicit bias training for health care providers. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is a good first step to protect families and children who are at risk of dying from carbon monoxide poisoning—but we need a law and funding that matches the scale of this crisis. I’ve introduced the Safe Housing for Families Act to fix this. — PolitiTweet.org

When Nielson defended CA Prop 8—which denied same-sex couples the right to marry—he sought to have the judge step aside b/c he was in a same-sex relationship. I was AG at the time & I called this a thinly veiled attack based on orientation. The American people deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The Senate is about to vote to advance Howard Nielson, Jr.’s nomination for a lifetime appointment to the federal judiciary. Nielson's history of anti-LGBTQ positions should be disqualifying. Here's one reason I intend to vote NO: — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the problem with how marijuana legalization is happening in the U.S. right now: some are benefiting from a growing industry while others continue to face legal consequences. That’s why Congress must legalize marijuana at the federal level. — PolitiTweet.org
