Title
01/05/2023
Tweet - "Exposure to toxic PFAS chemicals is harmful & historically disadvantaged communities face higher risk of exposure. @EPA 's new tool will increase transparency & accountability of these "forever chemicals" sources."
01/05/2023
Tweet - "The historic GOP impasse in the House indicates rough seas ahead. Additional McCarthy concessions to his MAGA extremists would only guarantee instability in a closely divided House."
01/05/2023
Tweet - "Congressional Republicans have repeatedly obstructed bipartisan immigration reform & leave @POTUS with no choice but to use his authority to establish order at our southern border. I strongly support his actions to clearly spell out legal pathways for migrants."
01/05/2023
Tweet - "Unemployed Americans are our first priority, but no question there's a need for immigrants to help fill jobs that Americans won't take. I urge my Republican colleagues to stop their political infighting and join Democrats in working to fix our broken immigration system."
01/03/2023
Tweet - "At a time when families should have been forging memories with loved ones, they were instead mourning their loss. It's time for this nation to reckon with the toll that gun violence has on communities. My prayers are with the victims & their families."
12/23/2022
Tweet - "Today's @FTC announcement shows that Mastercard has been stifling debit card competition to the detriment of merchants and consumers. We must be vigilant in protecting debit and credit card competition, and we will."
12/22/2022
Tweet - "The omnibus package is a testament to the progress we made in the last year. It includes funding for Ukraine, emergency disaster assistance, & the bipartisan Electoral Count Reform Act. I encourage the House to pass it quickly & look forward to @POTUS signing it into law."
12/22/2022
Tweet - "With the high costs of tuition, many students can't afford to purchase the expensive textbooks required for classes. Increased funding for the Open Textbook Program will provide relief for many students. Proud to have secured $12M for this program in the government funding bill."
12/21/2022
Tweet - "The Justice for Victims of War Crimes Act will allow the U.S. to hold perpetrators of heinous war crimes to account. We must not be a safe haven for war criminals. Unanimous Senate passage of this bill sends a clear message to Putin that Congress stands w/ the Ukrainian people."
12/20/2022
Tweet - "It is deeply disappointing that Senate Republican leadership rejected a compromise bill that would make our communities safer & our justice system fairer, and has broad law enforcement & bipartisan support, including from the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee."
12/20/2022
Tweet - "The tragic conflict in Ethiopia has left one million dead, & millions more without the means to survive. As I stated to Special Envoy Hammer, I will continue to monitor the ceasefire agreement, and remain hopeful that the Ethiopian people will recover."
12/19/2022
Tweet - "No man, not even a President, is above the law. The anger and resentment Donald Trump stoked with his "Big Lie" created a deadly event on January 6, and left a perpetual stain on our nation's history. He must be held accountable."
12/15/2022
Tweet - "Think we have enough immigrants? Open your eyes. The best medical system in the world is being brought to its knees by a nursing crisis. I recently learned that a major Chicago hospital was buoyed by 30 Filipino immigrant nurses. We need immigration reform and we need it now."
12/08/2022
Tweet - "Great news that Brittney Griner was released from a Russian prison! I want to commend the Biden Admin for its tireless work to bring her home & hope it can do the same for Paul Whelan who is also jailed under equally dubious circumstances by Putin."
12/08/2022
Tweet - "This is a great day for marriage equality and a historic day for civil rights in our country. The Respect for Marriage Act will ensure that same-sex and interracial marriages will be protected under federal law. Now, onto @POTUS 's desk!"
12/06/2022
Tweet - "It has been 157 years since the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. While we have come a long way in that time, we are still fighting to abolish slavery in all forms, including forced labor "as a punishment for crime." #EndTheException"
12/05/2022
Tweet - "As author of the Dream Act, I applaud every good faith effort to give these deserving individuals a path to citizenship. I've been in touch w/ my colleagues & will carefully review their proposal. I'm determined to do everything to help deliver a Christmas Miracle for Dreamers."
12/04/2022
Tweet - "One cannot both swear to "uphold and defend" our Constitution and call for its "termination." Donald Trump continues to disqualify himself from any future consideration for the Presidency."
12/03/2022
Tweet - "Increasing competition in the credit card industry will help reduce fees and inflation at the checkout counter. Small businesses deserve relief from excessive swipe fees & Congress must take action to bring competition and fairness to this broken market."
12/02/2022
Tweet - "By making E15 available year-round, the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act will help Illinois drivers save money at the pump by choosing low-carbon & home-grown ethanol, support Illinois farmers, and reduce our dependence on OPEC."
12/01/2022
Tweet - "I'm disappointed that not enough of my R colleagues supported bill to increase paid sick leave for rail workers, but I'm relieved that we came together quickly to pass the labor agreement to prevent a rail strike--which would have devastated the economy & put millions out of work."
11/30/2022
Tweet - "This conviction is historic & underscores the gravity of what happened on Jan 6, 2021. It was not a political demonstration. It was an effort to overturn the election. I hope this conviction makes it clear that the American people aren't going to stand for Donald Trump's Big Lie."
11/20/2022
Tweet - "Devastated to hear about the horrific shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Today, on #TransDayofRemembrance, my prayers are with the family & friends of the victims and the entire LGBTQ+ community. We must condemn hate in all its forms."
11/19/2022
Tweet - "The Senate Judiciary Committee is reviewing these serious allegations, which highlight once again the inexcusable "Supreme Court loophole" in federal judicial ethics rules."
11/18/2022
Tweet - "By appointing a well-respected career prosecutor as special counsel, AG Garland has demonstrated his commitment to avoiding even the appearance of politicization at @TheJusticeDept . I'm confident that SC Smith will pursue justice in these investigations without fear or favor."
