No one should lose their job because of a health emergency. The Family and Medical Leave Act helps workers recover from illness, bond with a new child, and care for sick relatives. As #FMLA turns 30, we must continue to fight for paid leave for workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Six states have forged a common vision to protect the Colorado River. It's time for California to step forward and be part of the solution. https://t.co/NQUyb6wXBh — PolitiTweet.org

The Colorado River is running out of water, and if we don’t act soon, we could lose much of the American West as we know it. My statement on the joint proposal to @usbr by six of the Colorado River Basin states ⬇️ https://t.co/ByajcavZIi — PolitiTweet.org

The @Surgeon_General is right. I have seen no compelling reason why middle school kids should be on social media, where they're bombarded with targeted ads, trolls, and algorithms working overtime to addict them. https://t.co/Zlll1rPHqz — PolitiTweet.org

By protecting wildlands and waters across the country, we're preserving some of our nation's most beautiful and undisturbed ecosystems for the next generation. https://t.co/WmxYT5Mu7L — PolitiTweet.org

Maduro and his corrupt, illegitimate regime have wreaked havoc on Venezuela. @SenatorHick and I are urging @DHSgov to extend protections to Venezuelan migrants who face the threat of political persecution, violence, and widespread food and medicine shortages at home. https://t.co/oYWUKOZNYh — PolitiTweet.org

Farm workers break their backs every single day to feed America. I’ve met people in Colorado that have been doing it for decades with no status and no protections. The status quo is terrible, and it's time to change it. https://t.co/r8mQkDGAKM — PolitiTweet.org

The fatal beating of Tyre Nichols is horrifying. I’m devastated for his family and the Memphis community. We must fight for a world that ends this injustice and inhumane brutality at last. — PolitiTweet.org

This month, House Republicans proposed a 30% sales tax — raising taxes on working families & eliminating the #EITC and #ChildTaxCredit. These tax credits help millions of working families with kids. I won't let Colorado's families pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit @yadvashem & reflect on the lasting legacy of one of history’s darkest periods. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, let us remember the millions of lives lost & our shared responsibility to confront hate before it becomes evil. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, @SenatorHick & I met with @SecDef to reiterate our concerns over President Trump's political decision to move Space Command out of Colorado.   Politics should have no role in this process. In the interest of our national security, Space Command must remain in Colorado. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Colorado is leading our nation's transition to a clean energy economy. This pioneering @US_FDA lab in Denver is another great example of how the Inflation Reduction Act is investing in our communities and helping us meet our climate goals. https://t.co/RE4c5VVm40 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The Senate Select Intelligence Committee must gain access to any misplaced classified documents to fulfill our oversight responsibilities. It’s important for Congress and the American people to understand if our national security has been put at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Whether or not you agree with this decision, it is a profound reminder of social media’s vast and virtually unregulated power over our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Coloradans are dealing with mental illness at a higher rate than other Americans. There’s a lot of work to do, and I’ll continue to work on reforming our health care system to provide better care for people facing mental and behavioral health crises. https://t.co/TYgK9bcVHc — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It was a privilege to visit Israel, UAE, Bahrain & Morocco with bipartisan colleagues to show support for the Abraham Accords. In my 14 years in the Senate, this is the most progress I've seen in the region – and it’s my hope that the Accords lead to long-term peace & stability. https://t.co/K0m2e05IU4 — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Colorado’s own @MikaelaShiffrin for carving her own path and becoming the world’s most decorated woman alpine skier. Colorado is so proud of you. https://t.co/7G1jQar4SG — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

HAPPENING NOW: I’m joining @SenJackyRosen and colleagues to discuss our recent bipartisan Congressional Delegation to the Abraham Accords member countries of Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. https://t.co/KALui3bDiP — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Mr. Tsay is a hero.   But we shouldn’t need to rely on heroes to safely celebrate a night out with friends and family in the United States of America. https://t.co/K58OCWEcrm — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The @DeptofDefense has repeatedly ignored my request for a meeting with Secretary Austin about the Space Command basing decision. For that reason, I voted against Brendan Owens’ nomination tonight, and will consider holds on other Pentagon nominees until a meeting takes place. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Since coming to the Senate, I’ve fought to ensure Washington keeps its word and finishes the Arkansas Valley Conduit. @SenatorHick & I are calling on @USBR to increase funding so local leaders can continue construction and provide clean water for SE CO. https://t.co/sjCFFfbN4W — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I visited Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE where I met with @USAFCENT's 380th Air Expeditionary Wing and Emirati partners. I had the opportunity to discuss regional security and to meet service members from Colorado and thank them for serving our country. https://t.co/wvFOBOjEIc — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today should mark 50 years of #RoeVWade protecting Americans from politicians interfering in their reproductive health choices. It should never have been overturned. We must continue to fight to codify the right to safe, legal abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Drug-resistant infections are one of the leading causes of death worldwide & it’s getting worse. My PASTEUR Act with @SenToddYoung would improve antibiotic use & help develop drugs to target the most threatening infections. Let’s pass it and save lives. https://t.co/ey565CoU5B — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, we capped insulin costs for seniors at $35/month. Next step: capping insulin for EVERYONE. https://t.co/iifFYbJpSj — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Unchallenged hate can become unspeakable evil, and we must do everything in our power to fight antisemitism and hate in all its forms. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Our visit to @yadvashem in Israel was deeply personal to me — my mother and her parents survived the Holocaust. We must never forget the millions of lives lost, shattered, and changed forever. https://t.co/56ssHId8EH — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Wildland firefighters face extremely dangerous conditions to protect our communities. It’s our responsibility to support them. I’m asking @OMBPress for answers on the rising housing costs they face. https://t.co/0kMFoY0JhL — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It's hard to imagine Jan. 6 happening without social media algorithms that amplified conspiracies, hate, and division to keep us hooked to sell ads. These companies walk away with billions, while the rest of us are left with more anger, polarization, and danger to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Forever chemicals threaten the health of our families and ecosystems. I helped secure funding to study this public health threat in the Infrastructure Law, & I’ll keep fighting to reduce forever chemicals in our environment & hold polluters accountable. https://t.co/1jFtm9UV0m — PolitiTweet.org
