RT @aterkel: Christie is going after the NJ legislature for holding up his judicial nominations. People elected him, he gets to pick. So… what abt Obama?

Today we pause to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11 - and those whose lives changed forever on that day. My heart remains with those who lost loved ones 21 years ago. They are not forgotten. https://t.co/eDxahEy7Qm
Great visit this morning @thetroylibrary, a treasured resource for the City of Troy since 1835! Public libraries provide vital services every day for Capital Region residents of all ages, and it’s critical that we provide them with the support they need to achieve their mission. https://t.co/QHt4QgLLVp
The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, newly designated as a National Water Trail by @SecDebHaaland, is a cornerstone of our region’s pioneer heritage. Proud to highlight the incredible services @ErieCanalway brings to our communities every day. https://t.co/UK8VlqRP6H
RT @Kyle_Feldscher: Rep. Tonko on 92 percent of Flint homes having "safe" levels of lead in water now: "That's not good enough."

The Supreme Court is illegitimate and the only recourse Americans have is to expand the court and abolish the Filibuster. Period. The end.
Let's not forget, @Liz_Cheney was all but kicked out of the @GOP for telling the truth about an attempted armed insurrection. Instead, elected Republicans - and those running to represent you - are more interested in bending the knee to Donald Trump. DONALD. TRUMP.
It is truly shocking that a President (Trump) would say "maybe our supporters have the right idea" about *hanging* his or her own Vice President (Pence).
19 states already have similar laws on the books, and we know by witnessing their effectiveness that these laws save lives. We must act to keep weapons of war out of the hands of dangerous people. I urge the Senate to pass this package into law without delay. 3/3
This package would allow family members and law enforcement to petition federal courts for a protection order to temporarily remove firearms from an individual deemed a danger to themselves or others, and would also incentivize states to adopt their own “red flag” laws. 2/2
Today I took action to save lives across our nation by voting to pass H.R. 2377, the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act. With over 250 mass shootings in the US just this year, this legislation takes proven action to prevent these massacres before they occur. 1/3
This project will transform a vacant lot in the historic Little Italy neighborhood into a community piazza and park for neighborhood programming and community gatherings. I’m proud to support this effort to boost local small businesses and celebrate our region’s heritage. https://t.co/cwkYQnD9RV

RT @angeladixon21: @RepPaulTonko Thank you for putting our constitution first. No one is above the law.
We have seen too many horrific attacks like those in Uvalde and Buffalo. We must not become numb to this bloodshed. Read my newsletter on the action we can and must take now to #StopGunViolence. https://t.co/zdBxsVcDRy

Honored to preside as Speaker Pro Tempore as the House passed the #GlobalRespectAct.
