Congratulations to Dr. Rachel Levine on her well-deserved confirmation as Assistant Health Secretary. As the first transgender official confirmed by the Senate, her appointment is historic. Despite facing prejudice, Dr. Levine proved her dignity and professionalism throughout. — PolitiTweet.org

I shared the eulogy Veronique de la Rosa read at her son Noah’s funeral after he was killed at Sandy Hook in 2012, and implored Republicans to find the courage to take action on gun violence. https://t.co/Yby2lM86Ly — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sharing the eulogy Veronique de la Rosa read at her son Noah’s funeral after he was killed at Sandy Hook in 2012. How anyone can hear it and still oppose gun control is beyond comprehension. https://t.co/c3Iae8vBfe — PolitiTweet.org

Today on the Senate floor at 4:25 ET, I will be sharing the eulogy Veronique de la Rosa read at her son Noah’s funeral after he was killed at Sandy Hook in 2012. How anyone can hear it and still oppose gun control is beyond comprehension. — PolitiTweet.org

Minnesota has five Division I men’s college hockey teams and for the first time ever all five have made the 16-team NCAA tournament. That’s nearly one-third of the field. We truly are the State of Hockey. Any questions Wisconsin, Michigan, Massachusetts? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Agriculture is the backbone of Minnesota’s economy. On National Ag Day, I salute all of the hard-working Minnesota farmers and ranchers who not only produce the food and energy America needs, but also enough to feed the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The alleged Boulder shooter was born April 17, 1999—just 3 days before the Columbine massacre, which took place 35 miles away. We have not passed a single meaningful gun control bill since. And there are an estimated 393 million guns in America. #GunReformNow — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Want to also thank @sedonaprince_ and @alikershner in particular for speaking out about this and bringing attention to this important issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The @BuzzFeed story has more details but the NCAA needs a full accounting of what happened, and they have a responsibility to move gender equality forward. I'm pushing for a full and independent investigation. https://t.co/7vS3AmgEuA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The NCAA seemingly has fixed some of this but once the disparities became clear, it just highlighted the many others--everything from the on-court branding to the social media handles. We need long term solutions, not just a one-time fix. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Across the board the NCAA was not providing equitable support--the men got a full training room, the women were given a single rack of dumbbells. The gender divide extended to the swag, food options and even the types of COVID tests. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

It's not exactly breaking news that women's athletics has been systematically undervalued, but that's no excuse. It's 2021 for goodness sakes. And last week was truly something else. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The @NCAA's start to this year's March Madness was simply unacceptable. There were *major* disparities between the resources and support given to women's college teams compared to the men's teams. I'm calling for a full investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

It shouldn’t take a public outcry over weight rooms for female athletes to be treated fairly. I'm pushing for a full, independent investigation into what happened at the start of March Madness. We need concrete, actionable recommendations for reform going forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Bois Forte Band has vaccinated all eligible members living on the reservation, 1,700+ people. I stopped by their Mpls Urban Office to see their new mobile vaccine clinic.

You heard it from Dr. Fauci, folks. Get vaccinated as soon as possible no matter which FDA-authorized vaccine you are administered. They are all safe and effective. https://t.co/TrK23DzaOM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

My bipartisan one health bill would help make sure preparedness efforts meet the needs of all people, all ages and all communities. Even Dr. Fauci himself recently highlighted the importance of one health with @StephenAtHome. Check out the clip here: https://t.co/en2FVaGlLt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

A "one health" approach is the idea that human, environment and animal health are linked, & should be studied together. CDC confirms that coronavirus originally came from an animal, & our nation must be prepared for the future. That's where the bipartisan bill I intro'd comes in. — PolitiTweet.org
