In total disrespect to our responsibility as global citizens & at a critical time of need, the Trump Admin is accepting a record low # of refugees. Where is its compassion? Its recognition of humanity? I #StepWithRefugees on #WorldRefugeeDay & every day. https://t.co/Wc4H89E5fD — PolitiTweet.org

I’m horrified that yesterday the Trump Admin’s EPA killed the Clean Power Plan. And the thing about the clean energy transition is that it is going to happen with or without American leadership. The U.S. can lead, or we can be left behind. I want us to lead. https://t.co/ereqfCJRvL — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom. ☝️ This is a value that guides my work in the Senate. Much work remains to fulfill the constitutional promise of equality, and on #Juneteenth I’m rededicating myself to fighting injustice so that every family in Minnesota and our country has opportunity. https://t.co/taeGHb1nsu — PolitiTweet.org

Here we go again. Another terrifying nominee—this time Matthew Kacsmaryk—to be a U.S. District Judge in TX. He has a history of: ❌ arguing against marriage equality ❌ challenging women's health care ❌ making offensive comments about LGBTQ+ individuals I’ll be voting NO. — PolitiTweet.org

Consumer prices have risen nearly 20% in the past decade, while the federal minimum wage hasn’t been adjusted to keep up. Hardworking Americans deserve a wage that keeps up with the cost of living. It’s time to #RaiseTheWage. https://t.co/9dAkxAL6sw — PolitiTweet.org

Dear Big Pharma, We’re at a breaking point. Insulin isn’t a choice for people with diabetes, it’s a matter of survival. But sky-high prices are forcing ¼+ of U.S. diabetics to ration insulin. Time to put people ahead of profits. —A fed up Senator https://t.co/S6SvFSJx20 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

In our work to address climate change, we must prioritize justice & equity. It’s immoral & flat-out-wrong that communities of color are subject to greater health risks—strokes, heart attacks & more. Thanks @SenCortezMasto for drawing attention to this. https://t.co/G2I4vyw0Mw — PolitiTweet.org

Cheesy sriracha funnel cake bites and fried tacos on a stick and blueberry key lime pie, oh my! The countdown to the Minnesota State Fair begins. 🎉 #OnlyInMN https://t.co/Q1wFxwe0VS — PolitiTweet.org

⏰ The science tells us the clock is ticking. Worsening extremes will become the new normal unless we get to net-zero carbon emissions by midcentury. I wrote about how I’m working to get us there in the @mndailynews. Read here: https://t.co/d0IC3caxiP — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. Women's Soccer team hasn’t finished below 3rd place in the World Cup. Funny, that's also the best the men’s team ever did, once. & @USWNT games have raked in GREATER total revenue than the men's team recently, yet the women are paid much LESS. @USSoccer, what gives?! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I can’t begin to imagine if 1 of our sons had been ripped away from us at 10-yrs-old, separated for 326 days. Shame on the Trump Admin for forcing Jose & his son Ervin to experience this nightmare under its zero-tolerance policy. #FamiliesBelongTogether https://t.co/KYN9VkDBoC — PolitiTweet.org

We already know that @DeutscheBank has deep ties to President Trump and Jared Kushner. Now we need to know if they’re hiding shady transactions. @SenSherrodBrown, myself, and some of our colleagues are calling for an investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenatorShaheen: Retweet if you think the Trump administration should stop blocking the design of the new $20 bill. (image via @nytimes)… — PolitiTweet.org

@jaketapper Not sure if the President was talking to me because he said “congressMEN” but I can assure you I would never accept. I'm not in the habit of selling out my country. — PolitiTweet.org

@32BJSEIU Thanks for making your voices heard and sharing your stories! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Thank you so much for your work on this @RepPressley. Honored to be your Senate partner in this fight. PS: If you aren’t already following her, you definitely should! — PolitiTweet.org

Accepting campaign “dirt” on your opponent from a foreign government should be illegal. Oh wait. It already is. https://t.co/cubo1KHDBc — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Lillehaug has been an indispensable voice for access to justice for everyone. We will miss him on the bench, and I wish my friend happiness and time to enjoy his wonderful and much loved family. https://t.co/m2TVkeadVL — PolitiTweet.org

It might seem like a distant memory, but Trump’s government shutdown meant thousands of contractor workers were forced to work without pay for over a month. This is an important step towards giving those workers the pay they rightfully earned. #backpaynow https://t.co/daB2WMfyAv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Three years after the Pulse shooting claimed the lives of 49 members of the LGBTQ community, the Senate still has not taken critical action to prevent gun violence. We desperately need to pass commonsense gun laws to ensure tragedies like this never happen again. https://t.co/7dFdqpAx4G — PolitiTweet.org

Great story about a great friend. The only thing the story leaves out is his wicked sense of humor. — PolitiTweet.org

Pence’s attempt at spinning this changes nothing. This policy is shameful and needs to be ended immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

The Senate GOP, with McConnell at the helm, has yet again sided with corporate interests and blocked a vote to restore #netneutrality. Mr. Majority Leader, enough is enough. Do your job and put this bill up for a vote. #SaveTheInternet — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Morning walk to my office. I’m on my way to work for you, Minnesota. https://t.co/syNB6K3Pfe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

We should bring the Save the Internet Act to the floor for a vote, but @senatemajldr has turned the Senate into a place where bills go to die—a #legislativegraveyard. We shouldn't put special interests above the needs of Americans. This nonsense needs to end. https://t.co/h7AZI0uxAO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Many MN businesses get it: strong action to address climate change is what their customers, employees, shareholders and communities are demanding. We can lead or we can follow @USChamber—let’s lead. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations and thanks to Austin’s Public Schools and @PrairieCare for making mental health care available in school. https://t.co/5HsCrimZKz — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you so much @TherealTaraji for your powerful words today. We need to continue the fight to make sure that all students have access to mental health services. — PolitiTweet.org
