This is a great pick. Julie won compensation for dozens of Thai garment workers forced to work for less than minimum wage in Southern California sweatshops back in the 90s, and has been a labor leader ever since. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not the school teacher. It’s not the nurse. It’s not the janitor.   The rich and powerful are the biggest carbon emitters. Spare me the notion that they can’t afford a clean energy economy. https://t.co/SFR306rYow — PolitiTweet.org

This program is constitutional. This lawsuit is partisan politics. — PolitiTweet.org

We have the solutions to this crisis – we just need the political will to enact policy that uplifts the work already being done in communities like North Minneapolis. — PolitiTweet.org

For #BlackHistoryMonth , I want to uplift the work of Roots Community Birth Center in Minneapolis. They're using culturally congruent care to improve maternal and newborn outcomes in BIPOC communities.   And it's working. https://t.co/uxgvsyJ8VG — PolitiTweet.org

Babies born to Black moms are more likely to die than those born to white moms. That’s the reality in America right now.   We can change that. https://t.co/RthMWUvcCM — PolitiTweet.org

Chip makers who receive taxpayer dollars need to support working families. Childcare costs are keeping too many people on the sidelines of our economy. Props to the Biden Administration for getting creative to find ways to tackle childcare. — PolitiTweet.org

There were two dozen bagels… but nobody will eat half of the last one. My staff is the definition of Minnesota nice. https://t.co/ILWaTzmMsh — PolitiTweet.org

The main goal of the CFPB is to protect consumers from Wall Street greed. We can’t pretend to be surprised that corporations are suing to get rid of the agency charged with keeping them in check. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been one year since Putin invaded Ukraine, and I have a very simple message: Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Kacsmaryk was appointed by Trump because of his hateful views and disdain for women’s reproductive rights. He’s an activist judge who operates outside the legal mainstream.   If his decision restricts medication abortion access the Justice Department should promptly appeal. https://t.co/fp8eUzTohw — PolitiTweet.org

Rondo was home to the largest Black community in Minnesota until I-94 split the neighborhood apart. Thanks to the Infrastructure Law, I'm excited to announce Rondo was awarded a first-of-its-kind grant to study the feasibility of a land bridge to restore what I-94 stole. — PolitiTweet.org

Minnesotans can handle snow — but this storm is serious… 1991 Halloween Blizzard level serious.    Everybody should take precautions to stay safe for the next few days! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We need to equip our kids with the tools to succeed in the real world – and that’s exactly what @NationalFFA does for our future agricultural leaders. Happy National FFA Week! https://t.co/Hoy9hv8mrW — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks Losar, or Tibetan New Year. I hope all who celebrate enjoy spending quality time with their loved ones and are blessed with good luck and prosperity into the new year! — PolitiTweet.org

Peace and gratitude to you and your family President Carter. You are a blessing to our country. — PolitiTweet.org

John’s story resonates with me. Depression affects millions of people, and it has affected me too. It’s not just sadness; it hinders your ability to function. Mental health is as important as physical health–seek help if you need it. I'm thankful I did and that John has too. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

In the short time I’ve worked with John Fetterman, I’ve been struck by his resilience and heart. John is doing exactly what he should do, which is seek help. Seeking help when you need it is a sign of strength, not weakness, something that John is demonstrating for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The @YMCA provides programs that are key for kids and working families across the country. I was happy to talk to Minnesota YMCA and two of their members of Youth in Government, Kori and Arjun! https://t.co/p5RTk5sHye — PolitiTweet.org

The Black homeownership gap is now greater than it was in the 1960s, when redlining and discrimination was legal.   #BlackHistoryMonth is a time to refocus our efforts on building Black wealth, and access to homeownership is something we have a responsibility to repair. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Dr. Pete’s tenacity, grit and determination to fight the climate crisis were instrumental to helping pass this nation’s greatest investment ever in clean energy.   We will miss you Pete! Minnesota is lucky to have you back home - and I may forgive you someday @GovTimWalz! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We’ve spent $2,478,000,000,000 cleaning up major climate-related disasters since 1980.   Investing in clean energy is the moral, fiscally responsible thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The Inflation Reduction Act means: 1) Fighting the climate emergency. 2) Boosting American manufacturing. 3) Securing energy independence.   … and Minnesota is ready to lead. Thanks for stopping by, @VP! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Racial justice and economic justice go hand in hand. I joined local Black leaders working in banking, education and community development to talk about dismantling barriers for Black people to build, maintain, and pass on wealth and what role Congress can play. https://t.co/4ObqnmSCZO — PolitiTweet.org

How about keeping the North Minneapolis store open? 1/5 of Black households live in a food desert. Closing this store further drains a basic need from a community already dealing with a lack of resources — PolitiTweet.org

So thrilled to see @The_Sioux_Chef was selected to join the Department of State’s Diplomatic Culinary Partnership.   Sean is a tremendous advocate for Indigenous foods and food sovereignty (and he makes some pretty delicious food himself)! https://t.co/kFaWZYF1cA — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, President Biden reminded us just how far we’ve come since he took office.   The last two years of legislating have been the most productive in decades – we never backed down from big fights.   I’m ready to keep that progress going. — PolitiTweet.org
