Now as much as ever, protecting the integrity of our water & waterways is critical, so let’s recommit to fighting for access to clean & safe drinking water for all.

For 46 years, the #CleanWaterAct has helped restore & protect the Great Lakes & all of our nation’s rivers, lakes & coastal waters as spaces for recreation, critical habitats for wildlife & economic development.

Policies like #PaidLeave and my bipartisan #FAMact help working families across the country.

Proud to be included in @TIME’s 50 most influential people in healthcare list. I’ll keep working for policies that support working mothers because helping them isn’t just a women’s issue or a health issue, it’s an economic issue too.https://twitter.com/TIME/status/1052918500409438209 …

That’s why I’m joining @SenatorDurbin, @SenatorTomUdall & 8 of my colleagues in seeking a full accounting of any financial ties between the Trump Organization and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1052649731594362880 …

Yesterday, Donald Trump said he had “no financial interests in Saudi Arabia.” But according to public reports, the Trump Organization does.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1052186219696803841 …

Honored to be featured in this three part series on Women and Power. I talked about being a parent, being the first female commander of my unit and how motherhood makes me a stronger advocate in the Senate.https://twitter.com/intelligencer/status/1052534967694225408 …

The bipartisan Small Business Enhancement Act I introduced with @SenatorDurbin @SenJohnKennedy passed the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee and will help them expand their business operations, reduce costs and create jobs.

When our Veterans return home from service, they deserve our full support in their transition into civilian life, and that includes supporting efforts to build and manage a small business. Our nation should be doing much more to help our Veterans

And if Saudi Arabia involvement in this tragedy is confirmed (as seems incredibly likely), the United States must immediately reevaluate the nature and extent of our relationship with this regime.

Whether or not the Saudi regime admits involvement in #Khashoggi’s brutal killing, US officials should strongly reconsider attending next week’s Future Investment Initiative ("Davos in the Desert") in Riyadh.

The only reason US officials should be in Saudi Arabia right now is to get the truth, not give #MBS and the Saudi regime the moral cover they need to maintain legitimacy.

Donald Trump’s willingness to accept the Saudi regime’s denials of any involvement in the disappearance of @WashingtonPost journalist Jamal #Khanshoggi despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary emboldens authoritarians, dictators and human rights abusers around the globe.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1052268011900555265 …

When I was growing up, school lunch was sometimes the only meal I could count on. That’s still a reality for too many young people in America. This #NationalSchoolLunchWeek, let’s do our part to ensure everyone in our communities has access to healthy and nutritious meals.

Seniors, workers with disabilities and Veterans who rely on Social Security benefits use them on prescription medications, food and housing. Today’s COLA increase does not reflect the real cost they carry. I oppose any Social Security cuts and am fighting to #ExpandSocialSecurity

This is Mike Novosel, a real MOH recipient who I was honored to call my friend. He lies at rest in ARLINGTON’s sacred grounds. His headstone reads simply “A good Soldier.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_J._Novosel …

I don’t care who you are. Never insult real Medal of Honor recipients with your fake hyperbolic rantings.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1050371723927932929 …

This announcement from AG Sessions is yet another item in a long list of counterproductive efforts from an Administration that seems more focused on pandering to its base w/hateful policies than actually reducing crime & improving police relations with the communities they serve.
