I stand in solidarity with @UAW workers and their families, who are fighting for better wages and health care. I hope GM will come to the table for fair negotiations so all parties can reach an agreement soon. — PolitiTweet.org

The Census is falling even further behind in hiring outreach staff, putting Nevada’s communities at risk of falling through the cracks in the 2020 Census. Too much is at stake if Nevadans aren’t counted—we must ensure an accurate Census count. https://t.co/aZxinwfV3U — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to all the members of the Nevada Task Force 1 Swift Water Rescue Team who mobilized for and responded to #HurricaneDorian. I appreciate your service to your fellow Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Each year, Nevada has longer & hotter fire seasons. As our state faces another wildfire season, vulnerable populations—especially our seniors—must have resources to develop their own preparedness plans & help prevent wildfires in their communities ⤵️ https://t.co/TqjXBLCmVF — PolitiTweet.org

A new report underscores why helping #Dreamers is both the right thing to do and makes sense for the Silver State's economy. Nevada #DACA recipient households contribute over $117 million in taxes and account for $416 million in spending power. — PolitiTweet.org

#HispanicHeritageMonth is a time to celebrate the rich traditions & contributions of our community. Nevada has always meant home for Hispanic Americans, & I’m honored to represent Nevada’s Hispanic community as a US Senator. I’ll keep fighting to give them a voice in Washington. https://t.co/yu6YUGcjDJ — PolitiTweet.org

Reauthorizing #VAWA in Congress was a bipartisan issue for 25 years—until this year. Senator McConnell won't bring VAWA up for a vote. Domestic violence doesn’t care about what party you’re in. It can affect any person, family, or community. Congress must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

25 years ago, the bipartisan Violence Against Women Act was signed into law. This landmark bill helped strengthen the rights of domestic violence survivors—incl. the rights of Native American, LGBTQ & immigrant women—and provided key support to law enforcement and advocates. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only has the Trump admin failed to address the affordable housing crisis, but their latest proposal would make this crisis even worse. Under their plan, mortgages would be more expensive for minority borrowers& aspiring homeowners across the US, including in rural communities — PolitiTweet.org

There is kindness and dedication in every corner of our state—you just have to look. Proud of this veteran in Reno for honoring those we lost on 9/11. https://t.co/HZIlGPUHqm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

@SenateDems .@SenateDems have a bill to do that. @ChrisMurphyCT introduced a bill, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, to close loopholes on background checks and save lives. The House has already passed it. Now, the Senate needs to pass the bill and get it done for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

@SenateDems In Nevada, we took action. We passed background checks this year after Nevadans voted for them in 2016. So I know the rest of the country can take action, too. The American people agree: more than 90% of Americans say they want sellers to look closely at people who purchase guns. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

Ahead of 2nd anniversary of the Route 91 massacre, I'm delivering the Weekly @SenateDems Address to commemorate this solemn anniversary and urge action. For those we lost in Las Vegas, in Odessa, TX, in El Paso, in Dayton, in Parkland and Gilroy and more—we must end gun violence. https://t.co/icpT9xhBGH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

Our nation’s epidemic of mass shootings must be addressed, and this bill is a step in the right direction. I’ll keep fighting for commonsense gun violence prevention legislation that saves lives and keeps our citizens and law enforcement safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

I joined @SenatorMenendez, @SenSchumer and colleagues in calling on Senator McConnell to act on our Keep Americans Safe Act, which would prohibit the transfer, importation, or possession of magazines able to hold more than ten rounds of ammunition ⤵️ https://t.co/q0Nqd13sWp — PolitiTweet.org

These pro athletes with @ProtectWinters know better than most how important it is to address #ClimateChange so we can protect our great outdoors. By supporting clean energy & green technologies, we’re helping our state’s outdoor recreation economy and our environment. https://t.co/xEiRZVvmSJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

We also need to eliminate health care disparities for underserved populations. America’s women, children & seniors, our veterans, our working families, our tribal communities & more are all counting on us to come up with policy solutions. We can't let them down. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto

Pleased to have spoken w/@HealthInFocus this morning about how we can work together to improve our healthcare system, better serve patients, increase affordability & expand coverage. Key to this is strengthening the #ACA & protecting it from sabotage by the Trump administration. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m relieved John Bolton will no longer be able to push for escalating tensions with Iran, but he had no business being in that job in the first place. He’s only made a bigger mess of the ineffective foreign policy of this President. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @TinaQuigley, for your years of hard work and dedication at @RTCSNV.

For over a century, the Statue of Liberty has been celebrated worldwide as a symbol of American ideals, welcoming people to our country. There are no qualifiers on the Statue of Liberty—only a message of hope. We should remember those words in the face of Trump’s asylum ban today https://t.co/mDQKZwDvRF — PolitiTweet.org

As Justice Sotomayor notes in her dissent, which Justice Ginsburg also joined, “this nation has long kept its doors open to refugees,” and that “the stakes for asylum seekers could not be higher.” Read their full dissent here ⤵️ https://t.co/nxmh2LG3lb — PolitiTweet.org
