Nobody in America should go hungry, and nutrition is at the top of my mind as we negotiate the Farm Bill.   I brought @Allison_OToole from @2Harvest to the State of the Union to uplift their incredible work and to see how the President is delivering for working families. https://t.co/Fx96Z3kvtD — PolitiTweet.org

Families in Turkey and Syria were displaced by the brutal impacts of war before this earthquake, and now they face another humanitarian crisis.   I’m grateful that American volunteers are helping with search and rescue — it’s critical that we steadfastly support those affected. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The Inflation Reduction Act invested in clean energy so working families can save money. It was great to speak at the Izaak Walton League’s event this evening where they’re educating Minnesotans on how they can lower costs using tax breaks and rebates funded through the IRA! https://t.co/TqnKb4VDRs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

February is "I Love to Read Month" and I was glad to be able to stop by Glen Lake Elementary to share one of my favorites: "The Story of Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf, and to tour the playground, which will be adding accessible equipment thanks to the funds raised by these students. https://t.co/lbakCtb185 — PolitiTweet.org

Mental health care is health care. I toured the Zumbro Valley Health Center to see how they’re using federal funding to provide a safe and supportive environment for the Rochester community to access the mental health care they need. https://t.co/bTzcJPln3W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I was proud to help secure federal funding for the Hormel Institute in Austin MN to support cancer research. Today, on World Cancer Day, I’m thankful for the scientists and doctors working tirelessly to tackle this disease. https://t.co/ZLgyurx2M1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I stopped at Popus Gourmet Popcorn, a Black-owned shop in Rochester. I highly recommend — especially the Targaryen fire. https://t.co/Hl3R6kNKq9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Today I visited Rochester to celebrate their new solar and geothermal power project made possible by federal funding. This project will provide clean power for an entire district of buildings – helping not only to reduce the city's emissions, but also to save money. https://t.co/vnfLYn8pXE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Minnesota is ready to lead the fight against climate change. This is for our kids, our grandkids, and the generations to follow. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

This is what happens when you build an economy focused on working families — not Wall Street. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

One of my proudest accomplishments in the Senate is getting Juneteenth designated as a federal holiday.   Now, @GovTimWalz is signing a bill to make it a state holiday. What a great day to be a Minnesotan! — PolitiTweet.org

The Rondo Neighborhood is the heart of the Black community in St. Paul. It was great to celebrate with them tonight at the Winter Carnival. Thank you for having me! https://t.co/yRpa78Y74j — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Protecting access to abortion now that Roe is gone isn’t only about stopping abortion bans. It’s also about protecting the rights we have left. More than half of all abortions are medication abortions. We need to pass this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

79 Congressional Republicans sent a letter late last week challenging the FDA’s guidelines on mifepristone. Their intentions are clear: limit access to medication abortion, even if the science isn’t on their side. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Governor Ron DeSantis’ anti-choice administration warned Florida pharmacists they could be criminally penalized for filling a prescription for mifepristone. https://t.co/mqyWrK6I83 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

To put it simply: an anti-choice President could reverse the FDA’s determination in their crusade against reproductive freedom. We can’t let that happen. We’ve seen time and time again that Republicans are willing to come after medication abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

After a thorough review process, the FDA deemed that it's safe to prescribe mifepristone by telehealth and dispense it through the mail. Our bill would enshrine this into law. Some may ask, why put this into law? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Medication abortion is safe. Medication abortion is effective. Medication abortion is under attack by Republicans. I’m reintroducing the Protecting Access to Medication Abortion Act today with @RepCori. Here’s why. https://t.co/s6HeL84dSG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Make no mistake: today’s vote to remove @Ilhan from the House Foreign Affairs Committee is an insult to all refugees in this country. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of constituents that she represents — including me. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The Job Protection Act would extend FMLA protections to tens of millions of workers – no matter the size of their employer or their full- or part-time status. It also would ensure workers can use paid leave programs without fear of losing their jobs. https://t.co/pzD2nYi5YW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I’ve talked to moms who literally deliver their baby and then are trying to figure out how to go back to work 48 hours later because they can't afford to lose their job. That’s wrong. And that’s why @RepUnderwood and I are reintroducing our a bill to expand FMLA protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

If you’ve just given birth or get in an accident, you shouldn’t have to choose between keeping your job or taking care of yourself and your family. But too many Americans are forced to make that decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Toni Carter represents what this month is about: acknowledging and learning about Black leaders who shaped the course of history. She retired her seat on Ramsey County’s Board of Commissioners, but she’s not done fighting for her community – unapologetically. Thank you, Toni. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

She broke barriers. She was the first Black Ramsey County Commissioner. She always centered diverse perspectives in her work. She raised three incredible children, one of whom would go on to become the first Black Mayor of Saint Paul, @MelvinCarter3. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Toni moved to Minnesota in 1971 to attend Carleton College – and Minnesota is lucky she did. She puts community first: securing low-income housing support, building Rondo Plaza, ensuring the Green Line was accessible to more communities, and lowering youth incarceration rates. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I want to take the time for #BlackHistoryMonth to highlight a changemaker, trailblazer, and an inspiration to Minnesotans: Toni Carter. I’ve known Toni for years. She’s a go-to person if you ever have a problem, and deeply rooted in her community. https://t.co/FOavSl7HfO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I counted him as a trusted friend and advisor, especially once I came to the Senate. Archie and I send all his family our condolences and admiration for a life well lived. — PolitiTweet.org
