I’ll be frank: the consequences of climate change are right in front of us. If we don’t act with a sense of urgency, it will be to our collective peril. https://t.co/BPTBYXp1Jm — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Here’s one major step the Senate can take to start securing our elections: pass our bill to require hand-marked paper ballots. The next major election is months away—this can't wait any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We’ve seen this before: the Trump administration fills top leadership positions with people who have spent their careers fighting against the very priorities they're now tasked with advancing. This is why people don’t trust Washington. Americans deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

The “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin passed away one year ago today. For so many of us, Aretha's songs were the soundtrack of our childhoods. Proud to have introduced a bill to honor her incredible contributions with a Congressional Gold Medal. https://t.co/hJeMiIi6PW — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is a win but we can’t forget that the Trump administration wanted to detain immigrant children under these conditions in the first place, including no showers, toothbrushes, or soap. It's downright horrific. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Here are some bills that have passed the House but that Mitch McConnell refuses to bring to a vote in the Senate: -Equality Act -Bipartisan Background Checks Act -Raise the Wage Act This is ridiculous. RT if you've had enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Nipsey Hussle’s work was profound, both in the Los Angeles area and beyond. His legacy endures and it’s up to us to honor it. Happy birthday, Nipsey–who would have turned 34 years old today. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The freedom to worship is one of our nation’s most cherished and fundamental rights—but it should never be used to discriminate or undermine other Americans’ civil rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

For decades, Social Security has given seniors and other beneficiaries greater peace of mind and a chance to live with dignity. As we recognize its 84th anniversary, I remain committed to expanding it—that's why I co-sponsored a bill to increase benefits across the board. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Americans are tired of living in fear that they might be the next target of a shooting. We can take steps to fix this. It’s been nearly 6 months since the House passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. When will Mitch McConnell & Senate Republicans have the courage to act? — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We have entered the era of climate consequences. From rising sea levels to extreme weather to rising temperatures and more—climate change is here and we must act now. https://t.co/Cl4vZMMAKk — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Last month I introduced the first ever National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights to guarantee domestic workers across our country receive the dignity, benefits & legal protections they deserve. We have to change how we value domestic work in America. My bill will do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My heart breaks watching this. ICE rounded up hundreds of people at their workplaces while children were at school. This is just the latest effort by the Trump administration to terrorize a whole population of people. https://t.co/xsm8v4qAKA — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Reminder that two years ago—following the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville—my colleagues and I called for a Senate hearing to examine the growing threat of white supremacist violence. Republican leaders have not held a single hearing. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Let me be very clear: the United States will always remain a place where immigrants and refugees are welcome, regardless of how much money they have. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My heart aches with @CHP_HQ Officer Andre Moye’s loved ones, who are grieving following yesterday's senseless shooting. Please join me in keeping them in your prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Heather Heyer should still be alive today. As we recognize the anniversary of Charlottesville, let's remember that there were not “both sides” to blame. One side was wrong: the one with the torches and swastikas. And we will continue to fight it. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Every day that Republicans in Congress don't act on gun violence is a day we are failing our country and an important moral test. 100 people die from gun violence every day in America. We simply cannot do nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We won't stand for this. The Trump administration's relentless vilifying of immigrants must end. Immigrants from across the globe have helped build this country. They should be welcomed and celebrated, not demeaned and insulted. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The Endangered Species Act was passed to save animals from extinction—because the unique species that inhabit our country are worthy of protection. Now, we must fight to save the law itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Don't let this go unnoticed: Senate Republicans are pushing Sec. Mnuchin to give nearly $100 billion in new tax cuts to the top 1%. We've sent Mnuchin a letter urging him to reject this backwards proposal. We need to provide tax relief to middle class families. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Let’s be clear: housing discrimination still exists today and has contributed to the stark racial wealth gap for decades in this country. We must do more to ensure equal access to housing for all, not make it easier to keep discriminatory policies in place. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We have to ensure that communities of color—who were disproportionately affected by the failed War on Drugs—have a chance to participate in the legal marijuana industry. That's why I introduced a bill to decriminalize marijuana & bring economic opportunities to these communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Citizens United has damaged our democracy and allowed corporate money to flood our politics. We can't allow this to continue—which is why my colleagues and I introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn this terrible Supreme Court decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The science is clear: the devastating effects of climate change are no longer a distant nightmare. We should heed this warning. The cost of inaction is too high. https://t.co/3oqsfZzaYw — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

In 2012, we took on the big banks and won $20 billion in relief for families who lost their homes to foreclosures. Today I’m proud that @GavinNewsom is putting $331 million of the money we won towards resources to help CA families keep their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Health equity for Black women can only be achieved if we recognize that biases exist in our health care system. I introduced a bill to ensure more women have access to culturally competent, holistic care & to begin addressing implicit racial biases in our health care system. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The EPA is refusing to ban chlorpyrifos, a toxic pesticide linked to brain damage in children and known to cause serious harm to human health. This makes no sense. We’ve sent a letter demanding the EPA protect Americans and ban this dangerous chemical. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We can’t forget that this administration is considering a plan to virtually ban refugees from coming to America. I will fight this. The United States must always remain a safe haven for those fleeing persecution and harm. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It’s long past time for the Senate to pass gun safety legislation to keep weapons of war off of our streets and out of the hands of those who seek to commit mass murder. Doing nothing is not an option. — PolitiTweet.org
