11/20/2019 Tweet - "Tonight, Senate passed strong, bipartisan sanctions on Russia, Iran, & North Korea. @POTUS must sign bill into law."
11/20/2019 Tweet - "The decision to scuttle the Iran deal, even though it was working and even though there was no alternative in place, was like abandoning a lifeboat at sea because we wanted a better one, even with no better one in sight. #CFRLive"
11/08/2019 Tweet - "We need to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United."
09/17/2019 Tweet - "There is no else to do this job but us. @senatemajldr must bring the Bipartisan Background Checks Act up for a vote. #endgunviolence"
09/11/2019 Tweet - "Just as every generation has tragedy, every generation has heroes. The heroes of September 11th -- the first responders, the helpers, and those who stood strong in the face of evil -- deserve our solemn remembrance and respect today."
08/12/2019 Tweet - "I stepped on stage yesterday at the Iowa State Fair to share my vision for America. That vision requires that each of us put in the work to renew the promise of this democracy for our kids & grandkids. I hope you'll join me."
07/31/2019 Tweet - "I wrote the Gang of Eight immigration reform bill that passed the Senate with 68 votes. It had a pathway to citizenship, protected Dreamers, "and had $46 billion in border security. We can have a humane immigration system and secure border at the same time. #DemDebate"
07/23/2019 Tweet - "Scientists found "extensive scientific evidence" that exposure to chlorpyrifos "can harm babies' brains." Yet Trump's EPA administrator, a former coal lobbyist, ignored the science. Putting profits ahead of our health isn't just wrong. It's dangerous."
07/22/2019 Tweet - "We need to get to universal health care & the way we do it is with Medicare-X. My plan gives you the freedom to choose your employer- or union-provided plan or a public plan. That's how we build on the ACA without taking away health care from 180 million Americans."
07/18/2019 Tweet - "The key question in this primary is whether we're going to have a bunch of Democrats follow Bernie off a cliff with Medicare for All & lose to Trump -- or we're going to run on a public option plan that will achieve universal health care & help us win back the White House."
07/17/2019 Tweet - "I see no reason why we need to take away health insurance from 180 million Americans to try to get to universal coverage. We need a plan that quickly gets every American covered and cuts costs. It's called Medicare-X, my public option plan."
07/15/2019 Tweet - "I have worked to deliver universal health care with a Medicare-X public option plan for years, and I'm pleased Vice President Biden today introduced a very similar plan."
07/15/2019 Tweet - "Now is an opportunity for Senators Sanders, Warren, Harris, and others to reconsider their Medicare for All approach, and stand behind a public option that is the quickest and best way to achieve universal coverage, unify the party, and defeat Donald Trump."
07/13/2019 Tweet - "Come on. @realDonaldTrump promised his tax bill would boost incomes by $4,000-$9,000. Instead it was a deficit-busting giveaway to the 1%. My #AmericanFamilyAct cuts taxes for families directly by increasing the Child Tax Credit & making it fully refundable and paid out monthly."
07/13/2019 Tweet - "I've said it for months. We need to level with the American people. Medicare for All could cost $32 trillion, wipe out employer and union health insurance, and get rid of Medicare Advantage for 22 million seniors."
07/12/2019 Tweet - "This Labor Secretary will be remembered for enabling predators. Hopefully the next one will be remembered for working hard to lift up American workers."
07/12/2019 Tweet - "Trump is a weak leader. In fact, calling him a leader at all diminishes every woman and man who has ever led a city council, a Scout group, or a book club. He wouldn't know leadership if he looked it up in the dictionary."
06/24/2019 Tweet - "U is for Universal Background Checks. Coloradans know all too well the devastating effects of gun violence in our country. We must follow Colorado's lead and pass universal background checks nationwide."
06/19/2019 Tweet - "While the #CleanPowerPlan would have fought climate change by reducing carbon pollution from power plants, Trump's #DirtyPowerScam would roll back clean air standards, putting the health of millions of Americans at risk."
06/18/2019 Tweet - "On Day 1 as President, I will take immediate action to tackle #climatechange. But we can't wait until 2021. That's why I'm working across the aisle to pass tax credits to carbon capture and reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
06/04/2019 Tweet - "So glad the House passed the latest version of the Dream Act, #HR6. This bill will create a pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of young Dreamers, and TPS and DED recipients. Now, the Senate must act. #DreamAndPromiseNow"
03/29/2019 Tweet - "#MedicareX gives people the choice to buy into an affordable, high-quality health care plan. By starting in rural areas and then expanding to every county, we're increasing competition, lowering costs, and giving every American a better option."
03/28/2019 Tweet - "Instead of dismantling the Affordable Care Act, we need to strengthen it. But the actions taken by @realDonaldTrump and Republicans are making matters worse. My Medicare-X plan would provide an affordable, high-quality public option for every American."
