This is great to see, especially during #PrideMonth, but the fight for equality doesn't stop with marriage. The LGBTQ+ community still faces discrimination in far too many ways. The Senate needs to pass the long overdue #EqualityAct ASAP. https://t.co/E6quJSjG2Z — PolitiTweet.org

Rural transit shapes the lives of people living in all rural communities, regardless of whether they're in a red or blue state. It’s a bipartisan issue. Yesterday I held a hearing on this topic & was lucky enough to have Brandon Nurmi from Arrowhead Transit in Virginia, MN join. — PolitiTweet.org

This past weekend I visited Louis Industries—a sheet metal fabricator—in Paynesville, MN. They power their factory with over 1,200 solar panels, which provide electricity to fuel steel-cutting lasers. Clean energy saves our planet and can be highly effective. https://t.co/bTGi8XnMkJ — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Condon, good luck and don’t go far—we need your excellent reporting and clear, cogent writing. I threw in cogent to show I also have a good vocabulary. — PolitiTweet.org

You will be great, @BryanPiatt. Go do good work, people need you. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the Lower Sioux Tribal Council for showing me around Dakota immersion Head Start, Cultural Incubator and Clinic. Amazing to see the progress being made—I can’t wait to stop by again when everything is open. https://t.co/Yp41QOSftN — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I had the opportunity to visit @MNSoybean in Mankato with @NickAFrentz and @MNCorn. We witnessed their “Plasma Blue” machine, which uses electricity to convert soybean oil into biodiesel. I strongly support investments in clean energy innovations just like this one. https://t.co/d3rJR9jaEX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The clean energy transition will happen. Whether we lead or follow is up to us. Join me, @leahstokes, @x3marcela_ and Yvonne McIntyre for a Policy + Pints happy hour tomorrow focused on how we can lead, by passing a Clean Electricity Standard. RSVP: https://t.co/lNztKgVIYe — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #Pride. To all members of the LGBTQ+ community across Minnesota and our nation, this month is about celebrating your identity truthfully and unapologetically. Let’s honor the work so many have done and continue to work toward full equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Began #MemorialDay at a wreath laying ceremony at Fort Snelling National Cemetery to remember Minnesota service members who gave their lives. In the Senate, I’m helping service members, veterans and families get the benefits they’ve earned. We must never forget their sacrifices. https://t.co/5E2snXLkpl — PolitiTweet.org

Some of my colleagues probably feel some shame about filibustering the commission. Others don't. Doesn't really matter honestly, this integrity test was pass or fail. — PolitiTweet.org

It is in every company’s best interest to push for a clean energy standard that will create jobs and save our planet from climate change. I have a bill that will make a #cleanenergystandard the new norm. Now is the time to pass it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The hearing will focus on the urgent need to invest in housing for Native Americans and efforts to eliminate the systemic barriers that keep Native Americans from accessing safe, affordable housing. It will be livestreamed on https://t.co/MkidUFc5qR at 10 a.m. ET. — PolitiTweet.org

More than half of rural communities lack labor and birthing services for parents. Today my Rural Moms Act with @lisamurkowski was voted out of Committee, for more equity and better maternity care for parents in rural areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Antisemitism is on the rise across the US and we've seen a series of violent attacks just over the past couple of days. Such hate has no place in this country. I stand with the Jewish community and hope all my colleagues join me in condemning antisemitism in all its forms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

For the Senate, our work continues on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and I’m grateful for my colleague Senator Cory Booker for his determination to find a path forward. With the power and determination of this movement, I know we can find and walk that path together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

So this week, as we consider what has changed and what has not, I am focused on the work we need to do to reimagine public safety, and all the systems that steal opportunity and deny the value of Black lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Systems built up over 400 years to devalue Black lives will not change easily. Entrenched power fights change as it always has. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Millions of people took to the streets, refusing to accept the daily trauma of white police officers shooting unarmed Black people. They marched for justice and an end to the systemic racism that creates inequity in housing, the environment, health care, and wealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Since George Floyd's murder one year ago today, we’ve taken steps toward justice. Important steps for sure, but too few. This week I have been hit hard by the reality of the long struggle ahead of us, and the strength of the movement sparked by George Floyd’s tragic murder. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator @FoungHawj has been a fierce voice for the Hmong community in the Minnesota State Senate. He has worked to strengthen many local organizations—including the MN Hmong Chamber of Commerce and Gateway to Healthy Food Coop. Thank you for everything you do Senator. https://t.co/UxD2wXdOF0 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm on board with canceling up to $50k in student debt. Too many Americans cannot afford to support their own families because of the cost of a higher education. I have joined @SenWarren and @SenSchumer in their plan to #CancelStudentDebt. We need action. — PolitiTweet.org
