Trump put a target on California's back from day one. We know that science doesn't support this move —it’s all politics. That's why we just introduced a resolution opposing Trump’s move to rollback President Obama’s fuel economy standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Let’s be perfectly clear: this move is not based on science or in the best interest of our future. Trump has put a target on California’s back and is seeking to score political points. I am absolutely committed to fighting to protect our right to breathe clean air. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I'm fed up with Republicans’ inaction on gun violence. We don’t need to wait around for good ideas to combat this crisis. We have good ideas. It's time for Senate Republicans to get on board and start by passing the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Attending an HBCU changed my life. I know firsthand the value these institutions add to the higher education landscape. Thrilled the House just reauthorized funding and resources for the next wave of HBCU leaders. The Senate must pass this bill without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

America's doors shouldn't just be open to the rich and educated—we should welcome our hard working neighbors no matter how much money is in their pockets. Proud to co-sponsor a bill today to stop Trump from punishing low-income immigrants. It's simply not who we are. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

There's no question that we have a housing & homelessness crisis in California. But Trump coming to our state and threatening to ‘clean it up’—including by using law enforcement—will make things worse. Instead, he should stop pushing for $9.6 billion in cuts to housing programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today I’m sending a letter to the House Judiciary Committee urging them to launch an investigation into Justice Brett Kavanaugh. He must be held accountable for any inappropriate behavior or contradictions of his prior sworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This #HispanicHeritageMonth, I'm thinking about the millions of DREAMers who represent the best of who we are as a country. They're American in every way but on paper and deserve a pathway to citizenship. I remain committed to fighting for that. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is why I’m fighting for a Green New Deal that ensures environmental justice for communities of color. What’s happening in Louisiana isn’t an anomaly—communities of color across the U.S. bear the brunt of toxic pollution and that must end. https://t.co/33hGbsvvsz — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Yesterday marked 200 days since the House passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. An overwhelming majority of Americans support universal background checks—so what are Republicans waiting for? I’m fed up, the Senate must act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Just awful. These actions have no place in America, let alone inside a federal building. It must be thoroughly investigated. https://t.co/vcMNJxLFXf — PolitiTweet.org

Bee Love Slater is the 18th transgender woman of color to be murdered this year. We have to speak truth that anti-transgender violence and bigotry is real in America. My heart goes out to Bee's loved ones. https://t.co/c7rp8mRSmc — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Some news you probably missed last week: the Trump administration is making another move to pollute our waters. I’m tired of this. That’s why I introduced the Water Justice Act—because every American deserves the right to clean water. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

#HispanicHeritageMonth is a chance to celebrate the many contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities throughout the United States. It's also a time to remember that the strength of our union is found in our diversity and our unity. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Happy Birthday, Constance Baker Motley—who would have turned 98 today. She was a trailblazer who inspired me, and many other Black women, to become lawyers. Her tireless work to expand civil rights and access to justice through the legal system will never be forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This week the House passed my bill to strengthen diversity and inclusion at the Federal Reserve. Here's why @RepBeatty & I introduced it: of the more than 130 Federal Reserve presidents, only 3 have been non-white & 7 have been women. That's unacceptable, and it's time to change. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Almost 150 American business leaders are calling on the Senate to address the gun violence epidemic. We’re fed up. How many more people must die from gun violence on our sidewalks, in our schools, in our churches, before Republicans do something? https://t.co/xGnJfi4OrB — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We cannot forget about the damage that is being caused to the Amazon rainforest. Today my colleagues and I called on the Trump administration to step up to help combat the devastating fires. We have to preserve the very lungs of our Earth. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Katy’s right. America is the only industrialized country that doesn’t have a national paid family leave policy and we need to fix that. We have a bill in the Senate to guarantee 12 weeks of paid family leave—it's time for Republicans to get on board. https://t.co/chFXqqDi2q — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It's clear this White House won't step up to help our neighbors in the Bahamas, so it's time for Congress to act. We've introduced a bill to extend TPS protections to Bahamians affected by Hurricane Dorian. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The DOJ's antitrust investigation into companies working with California on clean car standards isn't just unusual—it reeks of partisan political influence. I'm calling on the DOJ Inspector General to investigate this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

There’s no question that people of color continue to be hit the hardest by the failed War on Drugs. Enough. It’s time we passed my bill to legalize marijuana and expand opportunities for communities of color. https://t.co/zNim9a695Q — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This cannot fall under the radar: a court could overturn the ACA as soon as next month and the White House still has no plan to replace it. Millions of people could lose their health care and they don't care. https://t.co/9KEOFE1Z5q — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The courage Isabel displayed yesterday as she was testifying before Congress was inspiring. She and other immigrants fighting serious illnesses deserve better than Trump's inhumane threat to deport them. Simply put, it's a death sentence. https://t.co/McmNgclGKl — PolitiTweet.org

Sandy Hook Elementary Pulse Nightclub Columbine High School Gilroy Garlic Festival These are just some of the mass shootings where the gunman used a high-capacity magazine. Earlier, the House advanced our bill to ban them altogether. To Mitch McConnell: get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The Trump administration’s cruelty knows no bounds. Separating a child from her family after they just survived a devastating hurricane is devoid of humanity. CBP officials must be held accountable for the trauma they are inflicting on this girl. https://t.co/AaLuX2dYft — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It makes no sense to deny flu vaccines to immigrant families in U.S. custody. We know of at least 3 children who died after being in U.S. custody with the flu. So why put more at risk? We're demanding answers for CBP on this reckless policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Thoughts and prayers alone won’t stop the gun violence epidemic—Americans want action. Today, the House is set to advance our bill to ban high-capacity magazines designed to make guns even more deadly. The Senate must act. Weapons of war have no place in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org
