Ontario’s government is working for the people to improve local service delivery and efficiency in the province’s municipalities. Today @SteveClarkPC, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, announced a one-time investment for many of Ontario’s small and rural municipalities.
Discussed the formation of a new government & the need for good faith dialogue & elections with #Haiti Senate President @CarlMCantave, Chamber of Deputies President @garybodeau and US Ambassador Michele Sison.
I voted against the war in Iraq. Sadly, much of what I feared in fact did happen. I don't want to see it happen again.
I’m so sad to learn of Matt Howe's passing, a dedicated public servant & @AFSCME member
Our New York DOT union workers do the hard job of building roads & keeping them safe
Slow down. Move over. We owe it to them to do all we can to keep them safe while they’re working for us
We are heartbroken at the loss of our colleague, our friend Matt Howe. Matt passed following a tragic work zone crash last week.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt's family, his friends and his crew members. Rest in peace, Matt.

It's common sense to put carbon monoxide detectors in HUD housing, protecting the lives of millions of residents. Thank you, @Rep_Pendarvis, for urging Congress to pass this critical bill.
I've introduced a resolution urging Congress to pass a bill introduced by @KamalaHarris and @JoeCunninghamSC to require Carbon Monoxide detectors in federal housing. The tragedy at Allen Benedict was preventable. This legislation will go a long way in addressing that.

Thanks @Allen_Clifton for your civility.
The key word is “job.” And I have worked for others in the past. Hopefully, I can put in a few more good years of hard work.
Let’s make sure we can talk to everyone.
Stop bashing @donnabrazile for taking a job at @FoxNews. I'd gladly work there. Few things would bring me more enjoyment than taking on that snake pit face-to-face, calling out their lies and propaganda on their own airways. My dream would be to debate @seanhannity face-to-face.
Voting at 16? Why stop there? Let’s make it 6! If a child can choose his/her gender at age 6, let them pick the President, Congress and the school board.
The Trump administration’s Title X gag rule is an attack on basic health care for millions of women and men. I’m urging @GOPHELP to hold a hearing to discuss the impact of this right-wing ideology disguised as health policy.

Matt 23:33. Thumb hit wrong key. But now many of you read 2 Bible verses. Good for you!
Funny when a person who knows nothing abt the Bible or Jesus try to lecture rest of us abt it. Read Matthew 22:33 and if you have any other questions, you might want to keep them to yourself and not expose your ignorance. You’re welcome! https://t.co/u6BWXWaF6Y

Met with President of #Haiti @moisejovenel to discuss the importance of dialogue towards elections in October. Thanked President Moïse for his support on #Venezuela and spoke about exploring opportunities to partner on economic development & stopping drug trafficking.
Was with @IsraeliPM when he visited family of Rabbi Ettinger who was murdered by coward terrorist. Glad that @Israel eliminated the animal who did it.
I congratulate the ISA, Israel Police special anti-terror unit & the IDF on the quick action that led to the elimination of the abhorrent terrorist who murdered Sgt. Gal Keidan & Rabbi Achiad Ettinger.

16 years ago, the United States invaded Iraq. I opposed it at the time, warning of unintended consequences. We are still dealing with those disastrous consequences today and will be for many years. We need a foreign policy that focuses on diplomacy, not war.
America is leading once again in space. On 3/26, the National Space Council will meet at @RocketCenterUSA to discuss the future of human space exploration. We’ll return Americans to moon, put astronauts on Mars, & carry America’s commitment to freedom into this new frontier.
Last weekend I was in Iowa, and let me tell you: We have to stop big corporations from killing family farms.

I look forward to soon re-introducing my legislation re-naming the Senate Russell Building after American hero, Senator John McCain.
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election... shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax."
