It’s great to see that we are creating programs to help Ukrainian refugees, but other refugees such as our Afghan allies are subject to far more restrictive policies. The U.S. should adopt a fair and consistent approach for all humanitarian protections. https://t.co/ylBuAsghbH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

This is a step in the right direction and I am glad to see this bill introduced in the Senate. Thanks @JerryMoran for working with me on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Mental health care is health care, and they should not be treated as two separate issues. My bill would work to integrate mental health care into primary care practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Some news. I have been working on a bipartisan bill to increase access to mental health care across the country. It was introduced in the Senate this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

As we grieve on the two year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, we should find purpose in recommitting ourselves to a meaningful, sustained push towards racial justice and police reform. Congress must act and I remain committed to passing legislation in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

“Noah, you will not pass through this way again. I can only believe that you were planted on Earth to bloom in heaven. Take flight, my boy. Soar. You now have the wings you always wanted.” 6 year-old Noah Pozner’s Mom eulogizing him after Sandy Hook. 10 years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Just an incredible speech by my colleague @ChrisMurphyCT. — PolitiTweet.org

Horrific news. No words. The blockade of gun safety bills has caused an untold number of unnecessary deaths in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s no magic cure for depression, and no one bill will fix everything. But we can make progress, and help more people get help and support, and that’s what matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I have several bills that would make a big difference. I'll share more details very soon but the big theme is access. When I was ready to get help for my depression, I had resources. That’s not true for everyone, and we need to change that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Last year when I shared this story, we were at a different place with mental health in the Senate. But the conversation has advanced. There are now two committees that are actively working in a bipartisan way to pass mental health legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I share this because 1) I want to let people know they are not alone. We can all work to break the stigma around talking about this. And 2) I'm a U.S. Senator, and I'm using my position to make positive change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

When I was a young mom in my 30s, I struggled again. I remember my heart breaking when our son said "Mom, are you OK?" I got help sooner this time, and I with treatment and care got better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

My roommate tried to talk to me about it, but I was in denial. Eventually, I realized I needed help, and went to see a counselor. That experience changed my life. Happier IS possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I've experienced depression twice in my life. The first time I was in college. At first I thought it was just a rough patch. As time went on, it became harder to cope. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Millions of Americans struggle with their mental health. I’m a U.S. Senator. And I’ve struggled with depression. Because it’s mental health awareness month, I’m sharing my story here. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I don't think we paused enough to acknowledge one million American deaths from COVID. It didn't have to be this way. What an unimaginable loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

All Americans deserve equal protection under the law. I’m a proud supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. We need the #ERANow. — PolitiTweet.org

Huge crowd today at the @PPFA rally in St. Paul. This is exactly the type of energy and organizing we need in the fight for reproductive rights. It’s impossible to lose hope in moments like this. https://t.co/NQAsZOEevu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

So fun touring the @AIOIC to learn about their plans to use the $350,000 in federal funding I worked to secure. They're developing a training program in heavy equipment operation and elder care to connect people who lost their jobs during the pandemic to new work opportunities. https://t.co/LTfy47EwJE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Loved stopping by the @Sannehfdn today to learn more about how they'll benefit from the $223,000 in federal funding @SenAmyKlobuchar and I helped secure. They're doing incredible work around after-school programming, mental health support and addressing food insecurity. https://t.co/vBB6GsvqbV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Exciting announcement today with @MayorCarter and @MayorFrey – the Twin Cities will have 170+ vehicles as part of the @eviecarshare service and 70 renewably-powered charging stations. Minnesota continues to lead in the transition to clean energy. https://t.co/oHPfTB2boc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I'm proud to be the only U.S. Senator to have worked for @PPFA and look forward to speaking at their rally tomorrow in St. Paul. We cannot control the Supreme Court's decision but we can organize and continue fighting for reproductive freedom. And fight, we will. — PolitiTweet.org

Moving Crypto into 401(k)s is far too risky, and this week’s rollercoaster ride shows why. Inserting risky assets into retirement portfolios is a recipe for disaster. https://t.co/5dglgzlYCI — PolitiTweet.org
