My language was included in the omnibus bill President Biden signed into law and will mean real help for Native peoples in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Native communities badly need more resources for culturally-appropriate mental health and substance use disorder prevention, treatment and recovery care.   I fought for Tribes and urban Indian health providers to be able to use resources in the way their communities need them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

For years, Congress hasn't increased the budget for Title X (the only federal family planning program). Republicans blocked my bill with @PattyMurray and @SenWarren to fix this.   Let’s be clear: everyone deserves access to ALL reproductive health services. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Since Roe was overturned, I’ve been thinking a lot about reproductive rights. You might think that if Republicans overturned Roe and want to ban abortion, they’d work with us on expanding access to family planning, right?   Wrong – and here’s some proof. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Merry Christmas from my family to yours, Minnesota! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Guaranteed funding for the Indian Health Service through 2024 is a huge win for Tribal Nations. The federal government has legal, trust and treaty responsibilities to the millions who rely on the IHS, and I was glad to push for advanced appropriations for the agency. https://t.co/qTd2MkPcAA — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody should be scared they might lose their job because they're pregnant and need accommodations. — PolitiTweet.org

It was unforgettable to be in House Chamber for President Zelensky’s address. He is a powerhouse for democracy and an inspiration. The sheer willpower of the Ukrainian people reminds us that the fight for democracy doesn’t end at our own borders.   Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 — PolitiTweet.org

I know we pride ourselves on enduring the bitter cold, but this storm is dangerous. Stay safe, Minnesota! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

With the frigid Arctic blast coming to Minnesota, we can’t forget the serious threat it poses to our unhoused neighbors. I always hear that we know what to do to address homelessness, we just need the will to fix it. @POTUS released his plan – let’s get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I’ve known her for over ten years. Jessica is reasonable and builds consensus — even when it’s difficult and there are real differences to bridge. While this is a step back, I’m not giving up on pushing Jessica’s nomination through. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

BREAKING: Jessica Looman's nomination to enforce some of our most important labor laws was just blocked in the Senate.   Blocking a well-qualified, bipartisan nominee is deeply disappointing to both Minnesotans and workers across this country who expect us to be in their corner. https://t.co/YQZx2M9Tqv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Wells Fargo has repeatedly and systemically broken the law, costing working families more than a billion dollars in unfair fees. This action proves again why we need a strong @CFPB to keep big banks in line and protect consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The former president endangered countless lives in his unabashed, authoritarian crusade against this democracy. Criminal charges are both reasonable and necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Happy Hanukkah, Minnesota! Chag Sameach! — PolitiTweet.org

Go Vikings! #SKOL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I was proud to vote for the Water Resources Development Act.   It's going to modernize our water infrastructure, safeguard public health, protect the Mississippi, Great Lakes, and other waterways, and move Minnesota crops and iron ore to market. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Crypto mining uses a ton of energy (more than some entire countries), further exacerbating climate change. Now neighbors who never asked to live near crypto miners are seeing local pollution and their energy bills go up.   Listen to @Ben_Mckenzie from yesterday’s FTX hearing. https://t.co/EKSFBjaYZc — PolitiTweet.org

An AR-15 stole Noah, nineteen of his classmates, and six of his teachers from us. If we want to do right by them, we’ll act and ban assault weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I’m thinking a lot about Noah and his mom today, and what more we can do. We passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act thanks to the work of tireless gun safety advocates like @MomsDemand. But it doesn’t ban the weapon of war that took Noah and his classmates from us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

“Noah, you will not pass this way again. I can only believe that you were planted on Earth to bloom in heaven.” I’ve read Veronique De La Rosa’s eulogy for her six-year-old son Noah, who was murdered at Sandy Hook ten years ago. I think every lawmaker should. https://t.co/cNhmrBqVCL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

DOMA. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Obergefell. The Respect for Marriage Act. We’ve spent decades debating a simple question: should we as a country give equal rights to LGBTQ+ people? The answer is yes. @POTUS just signed the Respect for Marriage Act, and I was honored to be there. https://t.co/IRfdoTg8Qr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

It’s not hard to conclude SBF bulldozed over market rules because he thought nobody would stop him. Let’s be clear: we need strict protections for consumers, shielding them from blatantly corrupt actors in crypto. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

1) Obama joined the Paris Climate Accords. 2) Trump withdrew and sold out to Big Oil. 3) Biden rejoined the Accords. 4) Democrats passed the biggest climate bill in history. Noticing a theme here? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Congratulations to all of the Native athletes who played in the Indigenous Bowl today. Minnesota is proud of you! https://t.co/ZrYO8m2vNo — PolitiTweet.org

Archie Smith is in People Magazine, and my whole family is asking: what’s up with @SecondGentleman photobombing his picture? We love you Archie (and Doug too)! https://t.co/NbCfndhfH0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

For 5 years I’ve worked to save the pensions of 19,000 Minnesotans. If their pensions failed, their families faced poverty. I got to work, we passed the Butch Lewis Act, and today I watched @POTUS announce these families can sleep easier tonight knowing their pensions are safe. https://t.co/Q4zjhSLMCE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Incredible news to wake up to today. Welcome home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Jerry Blackwell’s confirmation is an exciting event for Minnesota. His dedication to equal justice and distinguished record as a leader in Minnesota’s legal community make him exceptionally well-qualified to serve as U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Minnesota. — PolitiTweet.org
