Thrilled to see that Minnesotans from Liberia are beginning to get their green cards and eventually become citizens through the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act. The community and I fought hard to make this law and to extend the deadline to apply to December 20th, 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, I went over to the Capitol a couple of times to thank the Minnesota Guard troops protecting us and the Capitol (and was able to bring some cookies). Can’t tell you how much I appreciate their service to allow our democracy to continue to operate safely and securely. https://t.co/FSg1GuOsNR — PolitiTweet.org

I named this legislation in honor of Minnesotan Katherine Bensen who lost her battle with lung cancer this past fall. I'm going to keep fighting in the Senate with everything I have to combat this disease. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

On World Cancer Day I'm thinking of all those affected by this unforgiving disease. Last year, I introduced "Katherine’s Lung Cancer Early Detection and Survival Act” to cover lung cancer screenings for people over 40. — PolitiTweet.org

Lena O. Smith fought against racial discrimination through her work as a lawyer in mid-20th-century Minnesota. She was the first black female lawyer in the state and went on to become the first female president of the NAACP Minneapolis chapter. Lena persevered like no other. — PolitiTweet.org

Toni Stone grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota where she would play baseball with the boys in her neighborhood. Although her love of baseball was considered “unladylike”, Toni went on to become the first woman to play as a regular on an American professional baseball team. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Stone Johnson, a civil rights activist and organizer, was the first black elected official in Minneapolis. She was instrumental in the creation of the Fair Employment Practices Dept., which was the first of its kind in the US. Nellie was a champion of working people. — PolitiTweet.org

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, I will be sharing posts throughout February dedicated to celebrating black businesses, historical figures, and current changemakers in our Minnesota community. Let’s kick it off with these three changemakers from our great state. https://t.co/ShpykijMkB — PolitiTweet.org

There is nothing heroic about members of Congress only showing how they really feel when no one is watching. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Was so excited to hear Dr. Cardona’s commitment, energy, and enthusiasm for the hard work ahead. His experience as an educator, principal and administrator is exactly what's needed to lead the Education Department. I support his nomination and look forward to working with him. — PolitiTweet.org

One of my young staffers was bringing me a ring light yesterday and he walked by @CoryBooker who said to him as he passed “One ring to rule them all, huh?” making said staffer’s day. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m always in favor of dialogue but the 600 billion dollar proposal looks to me like a skimpy plan. We need bold action, not half measures. I continue to support the President’s plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 700,000 citizens who reside in the District of Columbia have a representative who cannot vote in Congress. It’s time to change that. Proud to support making D.C. the 51st state. — PolitiTweet.org

When we say your voice is your power, that means voting, not waging a criminal attack on the U.S. Capitol. https://t.co/X5ibVClICg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

This is what being presidential looks like. You look for where you can work to make sure more people are protected and able to access health care, especially during this pandemic. I’ve been pushing for this and thank you @POTUS. https://t.co/56hHzMTLpo — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @POTUS and @VP for repealing the global gag rule. Women everywhere deserve full information about their reproductive options, including abortion. Health care is health care, and politicians shouldn’t tell doctors and nurses what to say. — PolitiTweet.org
