Date Title

12/22/2020 Tweet - "Students have been hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic.

12/17/2020 Tweet - "By picking @RepDebHaaland as his Interior Secretary, President-elect @JoeBiden is making a strong and historic nomination. Congresswoman Haaland has a proven record of standing up for our public lands & fighting to ensure that America keeps its commitments."
07/28/2020 Tweet - "Today, the Trump Administration is openly defying #SCOTUS by refusing to accept new #DACA applications. President Trump calls himself the "law and order" president but refuses to follow the highest law in the land."

04/15/2020 Tweet - "We're in the middle of a global pandemic. The president's decision to halt funding to the World Health Organization puts lives at risk and undercuts the global effort to combat COVID-19. Americans deserve better."
04/10/2020 Tweet - "President Trump promised in early March that every American could get a COVID-19 test. Now with nearly half a million positive cases, he's telling us he's backing away from that commitment. Where are the tests, Mr. President?"
04/08/2020 Tweet - "Mail-in voting can save lives during COVID-19 & ensure that Americans' voices are heard. President Trump's admission that he's opposed to mail-in ballots for political reasons shows the truth: Republicans don't want you to vote. Lives are stake - but Trump doesn't seem to care."

12/19/2019 Tweet - "Joining @MSNBC and @ChrisJansing to discuss the historic vote the House of Representatives took last night to hold President Trump accountable for his abuse of power and obstruction."
12/19/2019 Tweet - "Mr. President, you'll never measure up to the late Congressman Dingell or to @RepDebDingell. The Dingell family has always put our country first and has delivered for families in Michigan. Shame on you for your callousness."
12/19/2019 Tweet - "The facts are clear -- and the House of Representatives acted with courage to fulfill our constitutional duty to hold President Trump accountable for abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress."
