When we expanded the Child Tax Credit, the child poverty rate dropped by 25% in the first month. If we do nothing, the expanded credit will expire at the end of the year. I’m pushing to make sure that doesn’t happen. The expanded Child Tax Credit must be made permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to take part in Duluth’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebration and talk with great leaders like Duluth City Council President Renee Van Nett. Today was a good day—Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! https://t.co/0Q4iPQDkiW — PolitiTweet.org

We are all shattered by the senseless gun violence that exploded in St Paul last night. As Mayor Carter said, we must commit ourselves to a comprehensive public safety effort, and bring those responsible to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Called Ms. Opal Lee to wish her a happy 95th birthday yesterday. Here’s snippet of our conversation. In addition to being a hero, she’s also the most wonderful person. https://t.co/rm7JBY8PsB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

My team dropped off a little present for Ms. Opal Lee for her 95th Birthday. A signed copy of the Juneteenth bill that she spent her life fighting to make possible. Happy Birthday Opal, here's to a true American hero. https://t.co/zXKRFbUpmj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I spoke today on how we must take action to pass climate change legislation in the Senate. https://t.co/LE5Q6GYA85 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Spoke today right outside the Capitol on the need for legislation that fights climate change. We are at a unique moment in our country’s history. We cannot let it go to waste. https://t.co/30V6naezVP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I met with Cynthia a few months ago at a presser. We talked about how important the expanded Child Tax Credit was to her family. Great to see her published in the Minnesota Reformer and she’s right; let's make the expanded Child Tax Credit permanent. https://t.co/z8puAzQvnE — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to @NCBACLUSA for giving @SenatorRounds and me the 2021 Co-Op Champion Award. October is National Co-op Month, and this is the time to celebrate how co-ops play an important role, not only in building a diverse economy, but also in strengthening our communities. https://t.co/MivBZpe5wC — PolitiTweet.org

We should abolish the debt ceiling limit. When the United States has bills to pay we should pay them, period. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Remember what President Biden is pushing for in his Build Back Better Agenda: The largest middle-class tax cut in American history, an extension of the Child Tax Credit, and transformative policies that address climate change. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

I fought against this rule when Trump wrote it in 2018. Biden just reversed it entirely. Thank you to all the advocates fighting for greater access to family planning services. It's because of you that this was made possible. https://t.co/E4aM35p3JO — PolitiTweet.org

Archie and I are so joyful to welcome our newest grandson Harlan to this world. Darling son of Sam and Emily, named after my beloved Dad who is over the moon to have another great-grandson to join Ari. Look how cute he is! https://t.co/tMX1KFQpiU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I want answers. DeJoy has not even bothered to show if he's done any work on how this new policy impacts groups that rely on the Postal Service. That needs to change. Thanks to @MartinHeinrich, @SenBlumenthal, and @SenatorLujan for working on this with me. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Let's be clear: there's zero excuse for this slowdown. Mail hasn't been this slow since the 1970s. And the people this policy really screws over are the elderly, disabled people, veterans, and rural and Tribal communities. USPS is often a lifeline for these folks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Remember DeJoy, Trump's Postmaster General, who was actively working to undermine @USPS right before a major election? He's still around. He’s also trying to slow down everyone’s mail and raise prices. I'm pushing back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We need rules of course. But reasonable ones that allow us to get things done. If the rules are allowing the minority to stop anything, maybe it's time to change the rules. Let's end the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

And that's exactly what the GOP is doing. There's no way to defend sending the US into financial default. It makes no sense, unless you care more about getting on Fox News instead of being responsible. So the GOP weaponizes rules and hides behind how confusing they are instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Let's say you hold a position that is impossible to justify. Ridiculous Senate rules give you a way out! Instead of arguing your point, you can hide behind fancy sounding procedures like the filibuster to obscure your real position. See? Doublespeak. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

So Mitch McConnell was droning on about how Dems and Dems alone need to raise the debt ceiling in his floor speech. And it was all to justify blocking us from doing just that. This bs is classic Senate doublespeak. I'll let you in on the secret of how it works: — PolitiTweet.org
