10/16/2021 Tweet - "The American Rescue Plan's expanded #ChildTaxCredit is pulling millions of children out of poverty. Without further action, though, it will end after 2021. Let's work to make it permanent."
09/08/2021 Tweet - "According to a new study by the Urban Institute, extending the American Rescue Plan's tax cuts for families with children could cut childhood poverty by 40%. Making this critical lifeline permanent would change lives."
09/06/2021 Tweet - "The American Rescue Plan dramatically reduced child poverty through the expanded Child Tax Credit. As we work to build back better, we must ensure that this progress is made permanent."
06/24/2021 Tweet - "As a teacher, I saw students fall into trouble because they lacked opportunities. That's why I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing commonsense legislation to codify President Biden's proposals to invest in our young people and make our communities safer."
06/09/2021 Tweet - "Investing in our #CareEconomy is key to getting our nation back on track. Taking care of children & aging loved ones can make it more difficult to join the workforce. The American Rescue Plan is doing its job. Now we have to build on it & pass the American Jobs & Families Plans."
05/09/2021 Tweet - "These job numbers, it's very clear to me, that the president's plan means that there are a lot of people who are not going back to work because they cannot find care for their children. That's why he has in his program a way for us to take care of children and senior citizens."
10/05/2020 Tweet - "Children in states that haven't expanded Medicaid under the ACA are more than twice as likely to be uninsured. As we recognize #ChildHealthDay, children's health depends on expanding Medicaid and protecting the ACA from GOP attack in Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS."
08/19/2020 Tweet - "This @WaysMeansCmte report confirms that government-sanctioned discrimination in the SC foster care system on the basis of religion and sexual orientation is harmful and wrong for children and families. @HHSGov should rescind this ill-conceived waiver."
07/29/2020 Tweet - "Child care is ESSENTIAL. That's why we just passed the Child Care Is Essential Act, so we can keep child care providers from closing permanently."
11/26/2019 Tweet - "The @USDA's SNAP proposal would cause nearly #1MillionKids to lose access to free school meals. This is unacceptable. Children need access to nutritious foods both at home and during the school day. We must protect our children."
09/10/2019 Tweet - "The suicide rate for Black children exceeded that of White children for the first time ever in 2018. @TheBlackCaucus is committed to combating this crisis and identifying solutions through the CBC Taskforce on Black Youth Suicide & Mental Health. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay"
01/30/2019 Tweet - "Thankful for the leadership of the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies & @theJCPA as we fight against discrimination in our child welfare system. A child ought not be kept from a loving home because of religious differences.

12/21/2017 Tweet - "I voted NO on the Republican's 4-wk government funding bill bc it's irresponsible to go home w/o reauthorizing the Children's Health Insurance Program & Community Health Centers. CHIP serves 9 million children & CHCs provide critical health services to 27 million people (1/2)"
