I'm horrified that Native women are murdered at a rate of 10x the nat'l average on some reservations. Today—on National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls—I call on the Senate to address the #MMIW crisis & reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. — PolitiTweet.org

The fed government is failing to live up to its promise to fund 40% of special education costs & education budgets are paying the price. @RepAngieCraig & I heard about the impact of this at Henry Sibley High School yesterday. I’m working to ensure the fed govt keeps its promise. https://t.co/iV8MhEvGC1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

It’s appalling that special interests continue to try to make it harder for many Americans to vote, incl. Native communities. Today I told American Indian attorneys, law students & officers of tribal courts that I will work to defend the right of every eligible citizen to vote. https://t.co/byl3hqK3ar — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Admin activities represent more than ¼ of national health care spending—& Americans’ wallets are feeling it. So this week I intro'd a bipartisan bill w @SenBillCassidy to lower unnecessary costs & admin burdens by 50%. Excited to push this bill forward. https://t.co/OqCLEjtohE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

No one should be discriminated against & denied health care bc of their provider's personal beliefs. But the Trump Admin just made a rule that says this is ok. It will hurt women & LGBTQ ppl most. That's ABSURD. We must protect equity in our health care system. RT if you agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

.@RepDeanPhillips and I are working to boost access to mental health services for kids and families in the child welfare system because if we don’t address this trauma, the cycle continues onto future generations. We see these families and we want to help. #MentalHealthMonth https://t.co/vzK9kgHI6x — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

This week in the U.S. Capitol I stood up for the millions of Americans who want to protect coverage for people with preexisting conditions because the Trump Admin is STILL trying to overturn the ACA entirely. That's flat-out wrong. https://t.co/M0QKQSqHdi — PolitiTweet.org

First sensible thing I’ve seen Stephen Moore do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The Attorney General is the people’s lawyer. He’s appointed by the President, but his job is to defend the law for all of us. How do you feel about the representation you are getting from AG Barr? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

👏 Let's hear it for Minneapolis for being recognized as a top place for women to work. That’s awesome. But we still need to pass legislation like the Paycheck Fairness Act to make sure women—everywhere—can participate in the workforce on a level playing field. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Fair wages. Safe working conditions. A chance to retire. Today people in Minnesota & across the world are rallying in support of workers’ rights because when people organize for fairness & justice, they raise us all up. #InternationalWorkersDay https://t.co/yN3RpSZLcF — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for the coffee last week Mr. Mondale. https://t.co/HOwQV74pod — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Fed nominee Stephen Moore isn’t really an economist. He’s a political operative and a pundit. And his views on women are abhorrent. He’s unfit to serve on the board of the Federal Reserve. I'm speaking out against his nomination now: https://t.co/zRO434e0EX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Very impressed by these Minnesota students who’ve distinguished themselves—nationally—for their academic achievements. @FIRSTteam1816 won the highest honor at a nat'l robotics competition in Detroit & @WayzataHS students won the Nat'l Science Bowl in Washington, D.C. Congrats! https://t.co/XgpSP2JWEU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I trust women to make their decisions about reproductive health care. They don't need the government looking over their shoulder in exam rooms, interfering with decisions & limiting providers from giving them all the info they may need to make well-informed choices. #ProtectX. https://t.co/S32gRbbt2A — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, @EPAAWheeler, you might want to take a look at this: https://t.co/izy7o4jZL6 — PolitiTweet.org

Another hateful act of gun violence on a holy day, six months after the attack on the Tree of Life synagogue. Archie and I send our prayers to the congregants and families of Chabad of Poway. We need action to address gun violence. This cannot be routine for American families. — PolitiTweet.org

White Bear Lake. Oronoco. Rochester. Maplewood. Richfield. St. Paul. I spent this week traveling across the state, listening to Minnesotans talk about what’s top of their mind. What did I hear? Here’s a glimpse into my week: https://t.co/M1s6rFi884 https://t.co/5e7DQhpc6L — PolitiTweet.org

Children forcibly separated from their parents, and STILL not united. Finally let’s hold Trump Admin accountable. https://t.co/8TTQCLOnJr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

It’s outrageous & wrong that more than half of Native women—& more than 1 in 4 men—have experienced sexual violence. I'm pushing to address such violence in the reauthorization of #VAWA. W​​e need to take bold action & address this crisis ASAP. #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Score one for women, health care professionals and #TitleX, against Trump interference in health care decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I penned an op-ed about my experience w depression in my teens & 30s. I was blessed to have early help & believe everyone should have access to mental health care. So I intro'd a bill to bring comprehensive mental health services into schools. Learn more: https://t.co/nDLspLhLPN https://t.co/Fj6LDyAU2E — PolitiTweet.org

A message for Minnesota farmers: @USDA is accepting applications to participate in the Conservation Stewardship Program, which helps farmers address natural resource concerns including erosion, soil quality, crop yields & wildlife habitat. Apply by 5/10. https://t.co/XKQJkObwhY — PolitiTweet.org

Minnesota’s credit unions are a critical part of our past & future. From depositing a 1st paycheck to saving for retirement, members know they can count on them. Today in Bloomington I told credit unions that I’m committed to working with them to serve all Minnesotans. #MnCUN2019 https://t.co/e4XaVg63fO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The archive of Stephen Moore’s insults of Americans appears bottomless. He can’t even respect the Midwest. What’s next—apple pie? Agree with @sherrodbrown—he should be disqualified for Fed job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Really fun to share stories, ideas, and pizza at lunch with the Minnesota interns today. I’m so thankful for their work, and they have exciting futures in front of them - can’t wait to see what they do. https://t.co/BtcDGUb3Q0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

And people of color, the LGBTQ community, low-income Americans and folks living in rural communities would be hurt most. I’m pushing to reverse course and revoke the Trump Administration’s proposed changes, and hope you’ll make your voices heard too. #ProtectX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

#ICYMI: A U.S. judge intends to at least partially block the Trump Admin’s harmful changes to #TitleX that would make it harder for millions of women to access quality health care from providers. 56K+ patients in MN rely on Title X-funded clinics for health care services. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

#OnlyInMN do meteorologists have to apologize for snow in late April. https://t.co/VUqr64coeu — PolitiTweet.org

I am uninspired by his ridiculousness. He’s looking for a woman free zone? I’m looking for a Stephen Moore free zone. https://t.co/tO39pcEdwC — PolitiTweet.org
