11/04/2021 Tweet - "The War on Drugs has been a war on people--NY is taking an important step to address its harms I'm working with @SenBooker and @RonWyden to pass our Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act to end marijuana prohibition & undo the harms of the War on Drugs at the federal level"
11/04/2021 Tweet - "It's long past time to end the federal prohibition on marijuana, enact criminal justice reforms, & invest in communities hurt by the War on Drugs. That's why @SenBooker , @RonWyden , & I are working to pass our Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act."
01/03/2020 Tweet - "The devastating Australian bushfires are taking lives, destroying homes and displacing communities. Hundreds of millions of animals are estimated to have been killed and entire species could be wiped out. This is a crisis and should be front-page news. Please help out if you can."
11/14/2019 Tweet - "We can't allow school shootings to be normalized. We must take action to end gun violence."
10/16/2019 Tweet - "The right to control your own body is sacrosanct. That's why, as president, I'll codify Roe v. Wade, create an Office of Reproductive Freedom in the White House, repeal Hyde, and more. We must ensure everyone has access to quality health care--including contraception and abortion."
10/13/2019 Tweet - "Title IX has successfully narrowed the opportunity gap for men and women athletes since its passage almost 50 years ago--but there are many ways we can strengthen its provisions. As president, I'll push for these changes and more:"
09/24/2019 Tweet - "In 2016, Trump welcomed foreign adversaries to meddle in our democracy for his own gain. Now he appears to be using the same playbook to remain in power. I applaud Speaker Pelosi's announcement of an impeachment inquiry--it's our one remaining path to ensuring justice is served."
09/12/2019 Tweet - "I believe Medicare for All is the best way to rationalize our broken health care system--and I'll work toward this ideal of health coverage being a right for all Americans. But every day I'll join with others to make progress happen for the people who are struggling now."
09/11/2019 Tweet - "It's been 18 years since the horror of 9/11--when we saw humanity's worst in the terror inflicted on our nation & its best in our first responders. Today we honor those we lost including hundreds of New Jerseyans--let's honor them not just with words but with our actions & service."
09/08/2019 Tweet - "Our challenges--from corporate corruption to campaign finance to criminal justice & more--are interrelated. We can't focus on each in a vacuum. So when we discuss health care, let's not just talk about doctors & nurses, let's also talk about healthy food systems & our environment."
09/05/2019 Tweet - "Our party needs to get on board with a bold vision on what's going to protect our country from gun violence--things like gun licensing which has been proven to save lives. Governments are formed for the common defense and it's our duty to do everything we can to end this carnage."
09/05/2019 Tweet - "We can't stand by while polluters poison our children and make our air unbreathable."
07/26/2019 Tweet - "Diverting military funds for a vanity project is exactly who Donald Trump is. I will continue to fight back and join with those already challenging this wrong and misguided decision."
07/21/2019 Tweet - "On my first day as president I'll take executive action to go after gun manufacturers & dealers, close dangerous loopholes, and invest in communities impacted by the epidemic of gun violence. We need an aggressive approach to win this fight."

07/19/2019 Tweet - "My hope is that the Second Look Act will create a much bigger pathway for people to be released in order to reunite families & save taxpayer dollars. We must tear down this unjust system of mass incarceration that for too long has destroyed too many lives without making us safer."
07/18/2019 Tweet - "It's been reported that Attorney General Barr overruled DOJ attorneys who recommended charges for the officer who killed Eric Garner. Barr needs to explain why he did this--why he decided that no charges should be brought in a case where a violent homicide was captured on video."
07/17/2019 Tweet - "Gun violence is the second-highest cause of death among young people, but it doesn't need to be this way. We can save lives by implementing commonsense measures like my proposal for gun licensing--because if you need a license to drive a car, you should need one to own a gun."
07/17/2019 Tweet - "The tough-on-crime movements of our past helped create a cruel and broken criminal justice system. The Second Look Act would take key steps to fix it, ensuring that people who do not deserve to be in prison will finally walk free."
07/14/2019 Tweet - "We know that gun licensing has been effective in states like Massachusetts--but almost 70% of all guns recovered in MA came from out of state. We need a national gun licensing program--a state-by-state patchwork approach isn't enough."
07/10/2019 Tweet - "This is wrong on so many levels--corporations should not be able to profit off of locking people up in cages, especially vulnerable people seeking asylum. We need to end private prisons--and we need immigration policies that put human dignity and safety first."
07/08/2019 Tweet - "Climate change is here: From the Midwest where they've experienced historic flooding to Florida where coastlines are receding year after year. Our leaders must prioritize addressing this issue with the urgency it deserves."
07/08/2019 Tweet - "There's overwhelming evidence connecting access to safe, affordable housing to better health and quality of life. From coastal cities to rural America, we need to be doing more to help families keep a roof over their heads--and I have a plan to do that."
07/06/2019 Tweet - "The right to vote for millions of Americans, disproportionately communities of color, has been under assault--it's why less than 2% of all statewide elected executive officials are Black women. We need to expand voting rights for ALL Americans."
07/05/2019 Tweet - "It's time to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for the damage they've caused our communities. Americans and their families have lost so much due to the opioid epidemic--they shouldn't have to shoulder the responsibility of that loss alone."
