.@MooreMaya took last season off so she could fight to free Jonathan Irons from prison. This week, her hard work paid off. Congratulations to everyone involved. Maya, thank you so much for your tireless efforts to work towards a better tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake, Minnesota will fight this. https://t.co/fGMkxPIKdX — PolitiTweet.org

This is a picture of Nicole Smith-Holt. I’ve worked with her for years to bring down the cost of insulin after her son Alec died when he couldn't afford his doses. Now Big Pharma is suing Minnesota to protect its profits and overturn the law we fought for. https://t.co/dPTwLWQMkX — PolitiTweet.org

Politicizing the pandemic will cost Americans their lives. Announcing a COVID-19 vaccine before it’s ready will undoubtedly do more harm than good. We cannot and should not endanger ourselves for the sake of political gain. — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: We can’t afford to play politics with a COVID vaccine and I want to know what steps the FDA is taking to avoid political interference by Trump. https://t.co/OWSfRDuLpx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We’re still a long way away from eliminating the systemic racism in our criminal justice system. Our country needs real, meaningful police reform, and I’m fighting in Congress to make that possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Small towns and rural areas play a crucial role in the success of our economy. That's why @SenatorRounds and I are the leaders of the bipartisan Rural Working Group to highlight all the great things that rural communities are doing for our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Trump is briefed about Russia paying Taliban-backed militants to kill Americans and does nothing. He advocates for Russians to be added to G7. He tweets a video of a supporter shouting “white power.” And lies about it all. This is the Trump Presidency. https://t.co/TB2PkK6KPy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

In 2019, a Trump appointee attacked immigrants and refugees, writing: "Great, can we send the 70,000+ Somalis in Minnesota back then?" This administration's xenophobia is shameful. To my Somali American constituents —MN is, and always will be, your home. https://t.co/G2UF28bRoU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Mental health is as important as physical health, and it's especially important during these times. That’s why I’m introducing legislation to expand access to care for mental health and substance use disorders during the pandemic. Thanks @RepMaxRose for working with me on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Yesterday marked the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. In those 51 years, our country has made so much progress toward achieving LGBTQ+ equality. Let's honor Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera and all the other brave Americans who made #Pride possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

This is a win for health care, and a win for women being able to make decisions for themselves and their families. But the fight isn't over. Celebrate this and keep fighting. https://t.co/hJGTS6uCii — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Russian military intel offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to target & kill coalition forces in Afghanistan, incl. Americans. Our President has known for months. And done...nothing. Oh no, that’s not right. He advocated for Russia to join the G7. https://t.co/nhG3lhAHjR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

When Trump tried to repeal the ACA in Congress, it failed. Few wanted to give up so many protections—especially for people with pre-existing conditions. 3 years later, they’re still at it. And in the middle of a pandemic. Makes sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Seven years ago, the Supreme Court gutted protections in the Voting Rights Act. Congress must restore these protections and end the resurgence of tactics like purging voter rolls, racist gerrymandering, and mass closure of polling places. Voter suppression is not democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Thank you to all the health care workers who put themselves at risk every day to help others and save lives. Your sacrifices mean the world to all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We all want the pandemic to end. It’ll end sooner if you wear a mask. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The Open Back Better Act will give states the funding they need to make our public buildings safer and more energy efficient when they reopen. We can emerge from this pandemic smarter and more resilient than ever. Thanks to @RepLBR for working on this with me. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Mental health is just as important as physical health — that’s why I just introduced two bipartisan bills to provide funding for mental health services. Now more than ever, it’s important for us to have access to care whenever we need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

A disturbing fact: maternal mortality rates for Black women in our country are 3-4 times higher than they are for white women. We must take steps to address the racial bias in our health system, now more than ever as we battle two public health crises: COVID-19 and racism. https://t.co/9JQFM7duWG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

As the death rate in Minnesota continues to fall, let’s keep in mind the pandemic isn’t over yet, evident in our recent uptick in COVID hospitalizations. Wear a mask. Practice social distancing. We’ll get through this. — PolitiTweet.org

The takeaway here is that Mitch McConnell would rather let a pandemic and economic crisis spiral out of control than delay confirming his partisan judges. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We just finished a HELP Committee hearing today. Topic was how to prepare for the next pandemic. We should always be working to learn from and prepare for the next challenge, but seems like we are deep in the current pandemic, and it’s too early to turn the page. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in educational programs, was passed 48 years ago today. Although we have a long way to go, our country has made incredible progress toward gender equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Question: When Donald Trump says he “doesn’t kid” about cutting back on testing to show better numbers, does he think he’s fooling us, or does he just not care? — PolitiTweet.org
