States should be able to use Medicaid to help people released from jail or prison make a smooth transition to community health care. Thank you @RepPaulTonko & @RepMikeTurner for reintroducing HR 1329, the Medicaid Reentry Act! tonko.house.gov/news/documents…

23% of gun transfers to a prohibited purchaser in 2017 involved a history of domestic violence or a restraining order. 6,004 checks that year were denied after the 3-day waiting period.
#HR1112 closes this loophole and gives law enforcement the time they need to keep us safe. pic.twitter.com/3d46u5w52U

.@FBI analysis of the current NICS background check system shows 3 business days can be too little time to determine if someone has a violent history and needs to be stopped from buying a gun.
#HR1112 gives them the time they need to conduct a safe, thorough investigation. pic.twitter.com/kB2fSMa31P

I’m honored to receive @theNEUAC’s Extra Mile Award. It’s not an exaggeration to say #LIHEAP is saving lives. As long as I am in Congress, I will keep fighting to make sure this essential program and the people it helps get the support they need and deserve. twitter.com/theneuac/statu…

Closing these gun loopholes makes a difference! More than 80% of firearms used for criminal purposes were obtained without a background check: lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/polic… #HR8

Universal background checks are also popular -- some 90% of Americans support closing the loopholes on gun purchases: politifact.com/wisconsin/stat… #HR8

Proud to see our universal background check bill #HR8 pass the House today. This marks a major turning point in our fight to end America’s gun violence epidemic and keep our schools and communities safe. Time for the Senate to act! #EndGunViolence

Health care is a RIGHT, not a privilege. It's time to change the game and provide quality, affordable health care for every person living in the United States. I'm proud to join @RepJayapal and more than100 of our colleagues to co-sponsor of the #MedicareforAll Act!

I’m excited to work with the members on each of these committees to tell America’s climate story, bring our best ideas together & ensure we truly are doing all we can to protect our families & communities from this grave and growing threat. It's time for America to #ActOnClimate.

Yes, it is unusual to serve on all three of these committees at once. But all three @EnergyCommerce, @NRDems, and @HouseScience have distinct and vital roles to play in building solutions to match the huge scope and scale of the climate crisis.

The House will vote today to end the President's fake emergency and uphold the fundamental checks and balances that have sustained American government for more than two centuries.
I'm voting YES. twitter.com/RepPaulTonko/s…

Thank you to @WIRESgroup for helping educate the House. Transmission is the backbone of our electric grid. As we begin work on infrastructure, we need to ensure we are building and maintaining the most advanced, resilient, and clean system possible. twitter.com/wiresgroup/sta…

President Trump's clean air chief was a lawyer for a shady coal industry group right before & continues to meet w/ industry lobbyists over objections of ethics officials.
He says that's ethical as long as there are at least five people at any meeting. 🧐 washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
