To fund or not to fund – When it comes to funding for the arts, there is no question. They advance both our culture and our economy, and I will continue to support funding for the @NEAarts. https://t.co/DSDXkRIEwd

Jim combines the selflessness of a public servant, the experience of a small business owner, and the commitment to social justice of a lawyer. I am fortunate to have such a leader for my office in Massachusetts and I am excited to welcome him to our team.

.@EPAScottPruitt just won Worst Original Screenplay for his report claiming a year of "accomplishments" at the @EPA. The Shape of Water has done more for marine life this past year than Trump and Pruitt's EPA. https://t.co/TqlzmlRxxw https://t.co/dhrEu4

Our two nations were lucky to live through the escalatory rhetoric and resulting #nuclear arms race of the Cold War. We should not repeat the mistakes of the past. I call on both the United States and Russia to de-escalate the nuclear rhetoric. https://t

Let’s return the United States of America to the forefront of statecraft, allowing our diplomats to advance our interests without risking a frivolous loss of life in #NorthKorea.

I will fight to secure the funding the NIAID needs so that one day, the #flu will be relegated to the history books. https://t.co/JQPUrE5xw8

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY. Now we know that this wasn't true because @realDonaldTrump actively sabotaged the Senate’s bipartisan immigration bill just a couple weeks ago. Donald Trump may say he's a deal-maker, but his actions prove he's a hardliner. https://t QT @washingtonpost: Trump says he is open to immigration compromise that provides a pathway to legal status https://t.co/8JFw2RNQn7)

RT @nowthisnews: Democrats are going to try to bring back Net Neutrality https://t.co/rIhYAx3POC

Unions are the backbone of a strong middle-class and fight for benefits that help millions of Americans beyond their membership. #Janus vs AFSCME is just another attempt for billionaire special interests to steal from working-class paychecks. #UnrigtheSys

.@kabbottBHN, president of @BostonHarborNow, highlighted the importance of tourism and recreation to New England's coastal economy. Our coastal communities cannot afford an oil spill. #ProtectOurCast

Development in Burma may be good, but not at the expense of justice and accountability for the #Rohingya. The government cannot simply bulldoze the uninvestigated crime scenes where Rohingya were beaten, raped, and killed. https://t.co/XluI4Fd1lW

The @NRA must be thrilled that @realDonaldTrump’s “solution” to school shootings is to sell more guns to teachers. To prevent mass shootings, we need don't laws that put guns in the classroom, we need laws that keep guns out of the hands of killers.

Today HHS @SecAzar said he will support @CDCgov research into gun violence, something that’s been prevented since 1996 by a pro-gun lobby Republican appropriations rider. Sec. Azar should commit to what he said & get researchers working NOW so we ca

In the EPA’s proposed FY2019 budget, @EPAScottPruitt identifies these four goals as the Agency’s core mission… and then proceeds to gut them. This isn't benign neglect, it's designed neglect. https://t.co/rS29tTAJCm

Heads of @CIA, @FBI, @NSAGov, @ODNIgov and @NGA_GEOINT all agree that Russia will continue to interfere in our elections. Yet @realDonaldTrump refuses to enforce new sanctions nor to explain why. We shouldn’t need a Kremlinologist to explain the @WhiteHou

.@realDonaldTrump’s $200B #infrastructure scam expects cash-strapped states to drive most of the progress on 1/8th of a tank of gas. We need $1 trillion in direct federal spending to rebuild our infrastructure, not Trump's monetary mirage. https://t.co/

The EPA just released its strategic plan for 2018-2022 and it does not use the words #climate, #climatechange or #globalwarming AT ALL. Not once. @EPAScottPruitt is turning the EPA into the Flat Earth Society.

.@NASA is our greatest intergalactic ambassador. Good time meeting today with the ultimate science guy @BillNye to discuss the importance of funding our space program. https://t.co/XDzNt5nWkY

Our top climate scientists are telling us that "fear is rampant" at the EPA. @EPAScottPruitt: your job is to instill fear into the hearts of corporate polluters, not your own scientists.
