Jefferson, I’m sorry you had the “worst birthday ever.” I’m glad you went home, told your grandma what happened, and that she helped make it so that no student at your school goes through lunch shaming. We’ve got a bill that would stop this proactively, and we should pass it. — PolitiTweet.org

This is my dog Moose, a finalist for cutest pet on Capitol Hill. I think he’s got the right stuff for the gold and voting ends in 45 minutes. If you think so too, vote right here! https://t.co/vbBNCCk12V https://t.co/H2ID3supy1 — PolitiTweet.org

Tragic news. Adas Israel Congregation of Duluth was an important faith home for many. Sending peace to the community, and gratitude to all who helped respond to this emergency in the middle of the night. https://t.co/WURGT0MKkP — PolitiTweet.org

Oh this is awesome! I’ve been following the progress of this since I was Lt. Governor. So excited to see the first students experience the education village! https://t.co/9fOT3ui049 — PolitiTweet.org

In April, I called for eliminating some of the hurdles pointed out in this piece, where borrowers have to apply for & be rejected from #PSLF first before getting help. But we can still fix it. We could fix it as soon as next week when we ramp up the appropriations process. — PolitiTweet.org

Went to the Lynx game on Sunday and this happened: That's me, Rep. Craig, Carley Knox, and four (!) members of the US soccer team. https://t.co/RltE9UqORP — PolitiTweet.org

Tragedy strikes again, in Midland/Odessa, five people gone, and countless people’s lives ripped apart forever by gun violence. Raise up your voice and demand that Mitch McConnell do his job and allow a vote on universal background checks and red flag laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed catching up with @StribOpinion’s @StribLopez and updating her on some of what I’ve been up to at the #MNStateFair. Take a listen to our conversation: https://t.co/k1lEs0OoSJ — PolitiTweet.org

For the record: methane is 30x as potent of a greenhouse gas as CO2. Not only is this a terrible move for public health and our planet, but it is one that doesn’t even have support within the fossil fuel industry! This isn’t pro business, it’s just pettiness. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

There’s a lot to love about the #MNStateFair and food is a big part of it. What’s the best thing you’ve tried this year? I’ve had mini donuts, a @MinnesotaTurkey sandwich, @MNFarmersUnion coffee, and the list goes on. https://t.co/eyuNM17tBH — PolitiTweet.org

Get this: under Trump Admin, the granting of waivers has increased by 370% w/ “small refinery” waivers going to large oil companies. While the president has signaled he wants fed agencies to reverse course, actions need to live up to the promise to help farmers & rural economies. — PolitiTweet.org

The anniversary is extra sweet because it falls on the 23rd wedding anniversary of Stacey and Robert, who met at the Giant Slide and got married on top of it. Stacey’s parents brought the slide to the #MNStateFair in 1969. Sure glad they did. (Photo via MSP Magazine) https://t.co/Ef675VVgWR — PolitiTweet.org

The Giant Slide is a #MNStateFair classic and this year marks it’s 50th anniversary at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. 🎉 https://t.co/m7t3GHDfmS — PolitiTweet.org

Minnesotans (and anyone else who is a fan of talented musicians!), check this out: Minnesotan @GaelynnLea is a past @NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner and she’ll be giving a free concert at @ngadc in Washington this fall. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Moose Smith. He’s a finalist in the Cutest Pets on Capitol Hill Contest, and #NationalDogDay seems as good a day as any to ask for your vote. Moose enjoys long walks, Minnesota’s North Shore, and does surprisingly well on road trips. https://t.co/vbBNCCk12V https://t.co/5e3RbabFOn — PolitiTweet.org

For people who need insulin, it isn't a choice. It's a matter of survival. Yet 1 in 4 w/ diabetes say they’ve rationed insulin due to cost.🚨 I joined @MNinsulin4all, @NSmithholt12, @ASlavitt, MN House & Senate members to push for lower insulin prices. Patients need relief now. https://t.co/HKJEC2WikH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Two senators, two governors and a roundtable discussion on lowering prescription drug prices. Thanks to everyone who came out to share their thoughts on this important issue. https://t.co/W1XgaIaKF8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The #mnstatefair is all fun and games until you ask me to take part in a contest. Then my competitive side comes out and it gets even more fun. Somehow I pulled off a win & emerged Grand Champion of #Agrilympics Amateur Milking Contest. Thank you @MNagriculture for having me! 🐄 https://t.co/P9LmfBwCAl — PolitiTweet.org

This was a really nice rest stop during all the excitement at the #mnstatefair Matt and Jessica own Big River Kombucha and let me try a few samples before heading back out to the festivities. Hard to pick a favorite but the blueberry hibiscus definitely hit the spot. https://t.co/0uvy39dlva — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Skyrocketing prescription drug prices are hitting Minnesotans hard & millions of others across the country. Tomorrow @GovTimWalz & I will be joined in Mpls by our neighbors from WI @SenatorBaldwin & @GovEvers to talk w/ people from both states who need help affording medications. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Grateful for chance to take part in MN Indian Housing Conference after stopping by @mnstatefair. Was great to join ppl gathered in Welch to talk reducing homelessness, improving access to affordable housing in Native communities, & my statewide affordable housing listening tour. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Thanks for having me. Glad you all were among the Minnesotans I’ve had the chance to meet and talk with today. While I haven’t had any foods on a stick yet, I did have mini donuts this morning. — PolitiTweet.org
