I’m honored to help carry on Martha Wright-Reed’s legacy of fighting for #PhoneJustice. She fought fiercely to keep her family connected and her dedication and perseverance will help many more families too. — PolitiTweet.org

But now, those bills are facing another roadblock: Mitch McConnell & his #LegislativeGraveyard. The bills are written. They’ve passed the House. It’s past time for McConnell to *finally* allow a vote on these common-sense reforms to address this epidemic in the Senate. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Protests like the sit in and #MarchForOurLives eventually had an impact… With the new Democratic majority in the House, we’ve seen a number of common-sense firearm safety bills pass that chamber. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Three years ago, we sent a message that the American people wanted action to stop preventable shootings—but the GOP didn’t want to hear it. While they kept plugging their ears and blocking a vote in the House, the American people didn’t let up. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Three years ago today, days after the horrific #PulseShooting, dozens of Congresspeople led by civil rights hero @repjohnlewis gathered on the House floor to stage an historic, 25-hour sit-in demanding a House vote to #EndGunViolence & an end to GOP efforts to block those votes. — PolitiTweet.org

For 75 years, the #GIBill has been helping our servicemembers and their families purchase homes and attend college in exchange for their service. I’m proud to work in Congress to continue to protect GI Bill benefits and expand them. — PolitiTweet.org

No child should go hungry or have to skip a meal simply because school is out of session. Families across Illinois can find free meal programs for children 18 and younger by texting “FoodIL” to 877877 or by visiting: https://t.co/7vZuT0Q2sb — PolitiTweet.org

The last 24 hours show how important de-escalating tensions with Iran is. A US strike on Iran w/o Congressional approval would be illegal. Congress must hold public hearings to prevent Donald Trump from stumbling our country into a reckless, destabilizing war with no clear end. — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed meeting with @RushUniversity representatives to discuss how we can work together to address behavioral health care, increasing health care access and patient safety. https://t.co/fWGa79qiNc — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I’m proud to introduce legislation to help restore trust between law enforcement & local communities by increasing resources for training to help prevent such incidents, while promoting independent investigations of police-involved shootings. ⬇️ https://t.co/BEqVb9kCp7 — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve lost too many young men and women—from Chicago to Champaign to Ferguson and around the nation—in tragic and preventable police-involved deaths. Their families have experienced heartbreak and deserve justice, but too often they don’t get it. — PolitiTweet.org

My staff was in Pekin & LaSalle today to host mobile office hours & help constituents with federal issues. Reaching as many people across the state and hearing their concerns is one of my top priorities, & these mobile office hours help reach that goal. https://t.co/lB8Pw4Pwzy — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to talk w/@ZainabSalbi about why I voluntarily deployed to Iraq to fight in a war I opposed, why politicians like Donald Trump should stop politicizing the military – and how this Admin has us on a dangerous path towards war w Iran. #ThroughHerEyes https://t.co/puOjZTJGfn — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad my bill to commemorate and preserve this landmark highway passed out of committee yesterday, and I look forward to working with @JimInhofe to pass this bill out of the full Senate. ⬇️https://t.co/n9ij2wfj8S — PolitiTweet.org

Route 66 has played a tremendous role in Illinois’s history, helping to promote travel and commerce from Chicago to East St. Louis and so many communities in between. — PolitiTweet.org

Too many Americans are killed/injured due to gun violence each year but @senmajldr Mitch McConnell has repeatedly blocked the Senate from voting on commonsense reforms—like making #BackgroundChecks universal & banning assault weapon sales. Americans deserve better #EndGunViolence — PolitiTweet.org
