I loved Walter Mondale and I’m not the only one. Mondale was a giant not only because of the positions he held—Minnesota Attorney General, U.S. Senator, Vice President, Democratic Presidential candidate and Ambassador—but because of the work that he did. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We need this kind of representation all the time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

But we can’t look away. And I will keep working for Congress to pass serious policing reform. To my colleagues: we have power to make real change, let's use it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

So much trauma. 13 years old, hands raised. I’m flying home to take care of my grandson tomorrow, and I cannot bear to watch a video of a mother’s child killed by police. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

This isn't the end of the work I'm doing on making prescription drugs affordable for everyone. There is so much work ahead. But this is an important step forward and I'm glad it looks like we are on course to make it law. Thanks @SenBillCassidy for working with me on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The bill is pretty simple. Drug companies like pulling this trick where they make some minor, insignificant change to their drugs and then get to extend their rights to keep the price up for five more years. If the President signs this bill, they can't do that anymore. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Have some exciting news. I've been working for months on a bipartisan bill to lower prescription drug prices. Today, it officially passed through Congress and is headed for Biden's desk. — PolitiTweet.org

We need justice for Daunte Wright and his family. We cannot say in this moment, “Oh there is nothing we can do. This is something we have to live with.” We all must rise to the call to action, we cannot look away and allow injustice to continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The problem is not that we don't have solutions, the problem is we face significant obstacles from our colleagues. It's amongst other reasons why I've come out in support of eliminating the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I’ve pushed hard for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and other pieces of legislation that would help local communities like Brooklyn Center move forward with real innovations in public safety that would help keep everybody safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We need to ban chokeholds, develop a national use of force standard, and make it easier to hold law enforcement accountable when they use excessive force. We have the power to resolve many of these systemic problems at the federal level. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

It is deplorable that in this country, in my state, you can end up dead from a traffic stop. This is an epidemic of Black people being killed by the police during routine interactions. But we should not pretend we are powerless in the face of this public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The @FEMA vaccination site at the MN state fairgrounds opens today! Minnesotans living in zip codes near the fairgrounds should sign up through the @mnhealth Vaccine Connector to get notifications about appointments. #DontWaitVaccinate https://t.co/CiPR1uypze — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We need to take action to #StopAsianHate and support AAPI communities. I will be voting in support of the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act today on the Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Goldman Sachs is pleading guilty in a $2 billion bribery and theft scheme. But instead of jail time, they want a special exemption so they can keep managing money for pension plans. @SenWarren and I are fighting back. Wall Street banks aren't above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing those in Minnesota and around the world a blessed #Ramadan. May this holy month bring peace to you and your loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m with @SenWarren: the Biden-Harris Administration should cancel up to $50K in federal student loan debt. And I'm looking forward to Sen. Warren leading today’s hearing on the impact of student debt on racial justice, borrowers and the economy. This is important. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Black, Brown, Indigenous and all people of color are overpoliced and underprotected. Traffic stops should not be fatal, killing unarmed Black people like Daunte Wright. We have a bill named after George Floyd to dramatically reform policing. So guess who is choosing inaction? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

A difficult night in Minnesota. We mourn with Daunte Wright’s family as another Black man’s life is lost at the hands of law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to @stcloudstate Men’s Hockey team, who will be playing in the Frozen Four title game tonight against UMass. They’re carrying the State of Hockey banner and we’ll all be cheering them on today. Go Huskies! — PolitiTweet.org

Started my Friday off by talking about how I think the United States should lead when it comes to the clean energy transition. And @FreshEnergy, @pdouglasweather & @sciencemuseummn—looks like we reached a young Minnesotan who cares about the future of our planet and the economy. https://t.co/tnJhGBvg31 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Taking action on clean energy is kind of like what hockey great Wayne Gretzky always said: "You've got to skate to where the puck is going to be." I'll be talking clean energy with @freshenergy and @pdouglasweather tomorrow at 10 AM CT. Register here: https://t.co/9orrj8sHPt — PolitiTweet.org

Channel One Regional Food Bank in MN is using the relief funds we passed in the ARP to provide for families and students in Rochester. This morning I had the opportunity to tour their newly-renovated facility. Thanks for all you are doing, @Channel1FoodMN. https://t.co/mKkWCmhq4H — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #YomHaShoah or #HolocaustRemembranceDay. We remember the Holocaust to honor the lives lost, and to remind us that horror should never be repeated. — PolitiTweet.org
