“Medicaid covers nearly 24% of rural Americans, 45% of rural children and 15% of rural seniors. The uninsured rate in rural areas in states that expanded Medicaid under the ACA has dropped by a median of 44% since expansion. But Republicans want to gut Medicaid... makes sense.”

“Rural hospital closures are more common in states that did not expand Medicaid, so it is vital that we protect the ACA and Medicaid expansion to keep our rural communities healthy.”

“Rural hospitals bring health care and jobs to rural Americans. They are often the largest employers in a community, keeping our rural communities healthy and rural Americans employed.”

“The ACA and its Medicaid expansion have been crucial in addressing the unique barriers to accessing health care in rural communities. By backing this obscene lawsuit, the President and Republican politicians in Washington are betraying rural communities. #ProtectOurCare”

“The ACA is a crucial tool in expanding access to health care coverage and protecting LGBTQ Americans from discrimination. If the Republican lawsuit succeeds, key protections for LGBTQ Americans would be ripped away overnight. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/DDopFBbP7g”

“The vast majority of drugs like methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and fentanyl come through ports of entry or international mail. Diverting funds from military construction and counternarcotics to build a wall that experts say will not work is irresponsible and makes us less safe. https://t.co/Kh6exUNKGv”

“Recently released emails indicate that Michael Duffey, a political appointee at the Office of Management and Budget, instructed the Pentagon to “hold off” on aid to Ukraine just 91 minutes after President Trump’s July 25th call with President Zelensky.”

“Vindman & Hill’s testimony reported that Mulvaney authorized Sondland to communicate a quid pro quo to Ukraine involving a White House meeting. America needs to hear about that agreement and Mulvaney’s role in the delay in releasing nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine.”

“Hard-nosed diplomacy in concert with allies and partners is a better approach than more bragging about military equipment and chest-thumping from President Trump.”

“Finally, this and other recent actions by the Administration have been taken without a Congressionally-approved Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). /5”

“Regardless of the Administration’s misguided threats, I commend my colleagues in the House for taking up this important bipartisan legislation and urge its swift passage. It is time to make clear that no amount of age discrimination in the workplace is acceptable.”

“The burden of proof my bill establishes for age discrimination claims is the SAME burden of proof currently used for discrimination claims based on race, sex, religion, national origin, etc. – it is just leveling the playing field for older workers.”

“The Trump Admin is threatening to veto my bipartisan bill, the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act passing through the House today, claiming it will “nullify decades of judicial precedent” Just a thought: Maybe workplace discrimination shouldn’t be our precedent?”

“I strongly oppose the Trump Admin’s proposal to weaken the National Environmental Policy Act. These continued rollbacks of our bedrock environmental protections deny climate science & are a reckless abandonment of future generations who depend on us to combat the climate crisis.”

“I joined a bipartisan group of senators in sending a letter to the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in support of its global efforts to thwart climate change. I will not stand by and let this President abdicate our place on the world stage.”

“Four years ago, the U.S. signed on to the #ParisAgreement – an international moment of unity and leadership that this Administration recklessly abandoned at a time when the world needs it most. But I refuse to condemn future generations to a world of catastrophic climate change. https://t.co/NtiIIIYzMg”

“President Trump’s decision to mock a child – AGAIN – is beneath the office of the President and an insult to people throughout the world. History will remember Greta for her leadership in the face of the climate crisis. What will history remember you for, Mr. President? https://t.co/Z4G2hdWh3I”

“Greta Thunberg is an inspiration. She is the epitome of rising to the challenge of climate change and I’m happy she is being recognized for her work. Congratulations on #TIMEPersonoftheYear2019, @GretaThunberg! https://t.co/8zRKrh0KrN”
