For Dairy Producers: The Dairy Margin Coverage 2021 program is now open for signups and is a vital safety net for dairies. If you need more info, head over to the USDA’s signup page here: https://t.co/TxyHBRg5bT — PolitiTweet.org

Odd that McConnell is insisting that the ACA will not be overturned considering his rush to seat a Justice right before a case that could lead to just that. He can spin all he wants. I’m not fooled and I don't think anyone else is either. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

At this point, McConnell's warped priorities shouldn't surprise anyone. It doesn’t faze me and I'm going to keep fighting for Americans to get the relief they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

McConnell is still saying relief is “unlikely,” after months of refusing to negotiate. Instead, he’s using the next few weeks to ram through a Supreme Court justice and put affordable health care at risk. Americans deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is Monday. I want to recognize the strong and resilient Native and Tribal communities in Minnesota. I value your voices and will continue to work with and for you in the Senate. Here are a few ideas about how to honor the day: https://t.co/kXdwhYgGoG — PolitiTweet.org

My friend Catherine Cortez Masto with an important message (plus a cameo by me). Thanks to all the caregivers and those who are on the frontlines during this crisis. I will keep pushing to give you the resources you need here in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Leaders take responsibility. Our President blames Gold Star families. https://t.co/q4CP7GOmoK — PolitiTweet.org

But make no mistake, the President could have worked with Congress to get real relief for all Americans during the greatest crisis of our lifetimes. Instead, he showed us yet again who he really is. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Yet Trump abandoning talks means that proposals like that gather dust while he continues to tweet from the White House. He's not going to stop me from pushing to give folks real relief during this crisis. That's what I do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

It's simple, if we want to return to normal, we need a real testing and contact tracing strategy. My bill sets one up and gives states the resources they need to make it happen. It's got bipartisan support too. Link for those who want more details: https://t.co/vwU8fxxi7X — PolitiTweet.org

Trump abandoning talks on COVID relief was a disgrace, but less talked about is what exactly he is leaving on the table. I'll give one example since I wrote the bill for it: actually getting a real plan to help us reopen. [Thread below] — PolitiTweet.org

University of Minnesota researchers received not one but two (!) MacArthur Genius Grants this year. A huge congrats to Dr. Fair and Dr. Dauenhauer on their incredible achievement. https://t.co/tfoGaCiqTh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

When the Fed Chairman predicts “tragic” economic consequences without quick and substantial coronavirus relief, it’s time to act. Instead, the Presidents sabotages negotiations. That’s failed leadership on so many levels. https://t.co/bA8Lyud8iw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

By abruptly ending negotiations over badly-needed coronavirus relief, the President has put his interests over those of the American people who continue to suffer from the economic and health fallout of the pandemic. I’m going to keep fighting to get that relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

For those wondering: no, filling this SCOTUS seat is not yet a done deal. While my colleagues and I keep fighting this in the Senate, remember that your voice matters. Keep speaking out. — PolitiTweet.org

Elected officials should always tell the truth to the people they serve. It really isn’t that hard. — PolitiTweet.org

So sorry to read of the passing of retired MN Supreme Court Justice and former Lt. Governor Sandy Keith. He loved Minnesota and Rochester and brought integrity and kindness to all his service. https://t.co/dzVfBoqx25 — PolitiTweet.org

Flu season is back, and this time around it's more important than ever that we are prepared for it. Get your flu vaccine this year Minnesota. It’s safe and easy. If you don’t know where to go, check out the Minnesota Department of Health's website. https://t.co/b0iGg7uftH — PolitiTweet.org

Archie and I join Minnesotans in wishing Donald and Melania Trump a speedy recovery. This pandemic is serious and it affects all of us. Wear a mask and social distance. We all can help stop the spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Coya Knutson has always been an inspiration. She was a trailblazer and Minnesota’s very first woman in Congress. Proud to see the Senate pass my resolution, which honors her and the difference she made for Minnesotans and so many others across this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Pass it and show everyone you are serious: https://t.co/I8cOgo5ftV — PolitiTweet.org

I've seen this pattern before, Trump talks a big game, and then caves to pharmaceutical companies when real action is needed. No, Mr. President, insulin isn't cheap like water. But if you want to take real action, I wrote a bipartisan bill that makes insulin affordable for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Trump’s quip that insulin is cheap like water was a slap in the face to those who've struggled to pay for insulin. My good friend @NSmithholt12 lost her son because of the high cost of insulin. I’ve spoken to Minnesotans paying 350 dollars a vial. This is a serious issue. — PolitiTweet.org

That McConnell in the middle of a pandemic is rushing to appoint a Justice who would vote to kick over 20 million Americans off their health insurance tells you all you need to know about his warped priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

As the only Senator who used to work at Planned Parenthood, I will always fight to protect reproductive rights. That starts with opposing judges whose record shows they will oppose those rights at every turn. I’m a firm no on Judge Barrett’s nomination. — PolitiTweet.org
