Republicans stole two Supreme Court seats and as demonstrated by this decision, much of the current Court is dangerously unmoored from any reasonable principles of legal analysis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

And if we do that successfully, and we get a few more seats, we should use our power to eliminate the filibuster and expand the court. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Expanding our majorities in Congress will be hard. There’s a good chance we could lose one or both Houses in 2022. But remember that a strong majority of the public agrees with us on reproductive rights. It’s a voting issue and a winning one. So it’s our job to make the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The reality is that if a vote was brought up tomorrow to change or eliminate the filibuster or reform or add seats to the Supreme Court, it would fail. I wish it were different. We don’t have the numbers and that’s what we have to focus on changing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

So we’re going to fight. But I want to be clear that there is not a magical lever of power we could pull but are avoiding. We can tweet and send out press releases stating our positions as much as we like, but that’s not a strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

First off, let’s be very clear about what‘s happening. This is the culmination of a 40 year effort by Republicans to radically remake the courts with the help of dark money and the Federalist Society. They’ve succeeded, and Roe is their white whale. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The Texas ruling by the Supreme Court is a blatant attack on women's freedom. The court seems ready to toss 50 years of precedent and basically allows vigilantes to take away women’s constitutional rights. So many have rightly asked: What are we going to do about it? A thread: — PolitiTweet.org

So great to visit North Community High School and Saint Paul College to see the amazing solar panel project and community-based Resource Fair. Students and staff at both schools exemplify the power of collaboration and resilience. Thank you for having me. https://t.co/uqTO2KtehA — PolitiTweet.org

In @bloisolson's newsletter this morning, he incorrectly stated my position on the public safety charter amendment. I, like much of Minneapolis, am still reviewing its impacts and evaluating whether this charter amendment moves us closer to a city where everyone feels safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Always love when a man has the gall to question my abilities. I hope @brianefallon didn’t sprain a finger tweeting this from his K Street office. Sincerely, a former Planned Parenthood exec, receiver of death threats for my work, and decades-long fighter for reproductive rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Thanks for having me on @drvolts! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Let's recap: The Supreme Court let Texas effectively ban abortion. I used to work at Planned Parenthood, not blind to what’s happening here. This law is not just unconstitutional— it's a direct attack on #Roe. And we are going to fight it. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a small window to take real action on climate change. Let's use it. https://t.co/gG6r4fyrlJ — PolitiTweet.org

Linda Christensen has been carving butter sculptures at the state fair for 50 years and is retiring this year. Loved getting a chance to see her sculpt her final masterpiece of this year’s Princess Kay: Anna Euerle. https://t.co/iDvxBBN5aa — PolitiTweet.org

My heart breaks at the news that American service members have been killed in the horrific attack in Kabul today. My thoughts are with their loved ones, and with all those who had loved ones killed and injured. — PolitiTweet.org

What the Senate passed last month, lawmakers have been trying to achieve for decades. I wrote a column this week about just how the infrastructure bill is going to help generations of Minnesotans. https://t.co/yPcm92lfXP — PolitiTweet.org

Great chart showing why I'm pushing for a Clean Electricity Payment Program (CEPP). This will get our country a long way towards hitting our carbon emission goals while being great for jobs, innovation, and energy independence. — PolitiTweet.org

Great editorial from the @BostonGlobe on how the Senate can and should take real action on climate change. Also love this photo of me and @SenWarren. The Senate sisterhood of matching blue blazers. https://t.co/6FfkWgbcOe — PolitiTweet.org

Today we celebrate the 101st Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave American women the right to vote. We also recognize that after 1920, women of color had to keep fighting for their suffrage. Voting rights have always been an uphill battle; we all have to join the fight. https://t.co/9y0AfWyARJ — PolitiTweet.org
