After decades of inaction, we broke the log jam. Bipartisan legislation to enhance background checks, help implement red flag laws, work to close the boyfriend loophole and, ultimately, save lives from senseless gun violence is now law. Thank you to all who made this possible. — PolitiTweet.org

I refuse to let my daughters grow up in a world with fewer rights than I had.   Now is the time for the Senate to codify Roe v. Wade into law so that every American in every state has equal access to basic, necessary healthcare—regardless of their skin color, zip code or income. — PolitiTweet.org

Doctors working in states where abortion, or even management of a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, is outlawed could even be threatened with prison for daring to save a patient’s life. Victims of rape could be forced to relive their trauma every day. — PolitiTweet.org

In a nation with a growing maternal mortality crisis and often inaccessible healthcare, without affordable child care or universal paid leave, forcing births on anyone—even when the mother’s life could be at risk—is not only cruel, it will also be a death sentence. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of families—including my own—have relied on Roe v. Wade for almost 50 years. The Justices who claimed Roe was “settled law,” but then turned around and ruled otherwise, will—as Justice Sotomayor said—"struggle to survive the stench" of this extreme decision. — PolitiTweet.org

I am outraged and horrified—this outcome is a nightmare that robs women of their right to make their own choices about their healthcare and their bodies, and it paves the way for a nationwide abortion ban that Republicans have been seeking for decades. — PolitiTweet.org

After decades of inaction, the Senate finally broke the log jam to pass—in a bipartisan way—what the overwhelming majority of Americans have been crying out for. Tonight, we acted to make our streets, schools and communities safer. Look forward to @POTUS signing this into law! — PolitiTweet.org

A dangerous and irresponsible ruling. At a time when Congress has finally come together to pass meaningful—albeit, modest—gun safety reforms, the Supreme Court is instead siding with the gun lobby and making our streets more dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we celebrate 50 years of Title IX—a gamechanger for equality in school. With POTUS rightfully extending these protections to trans students, the Senate must go further and pass the Equality Act to protect all kids from Republican efforts to take away their rights. — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: The U.S. Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee just passed a bipartisan bill to reduce prescription drug costs. While there's more to do to make lifesaving medicine more affordable, passing the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act is a good start. — PolitiTweet.org

No American should have to face the unbearable decision of either paying for lifesaving prescription drugs or paying for rent. It's time we cap the price of insulin to $35 per month—saving lives and money for working families everywhere. https://t.co/uvMnJbA8R0 — PolitiTweet.org

For Illinois, these reforms would help crack down on two major issues that drive gun violence in our state: interstate firearms trafficking and irresponsible federally-licensed firearms dealers that repeatedly violate the rules—putting profits before safety.   Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Juneteenth is about so much more than a celebration, it’s also a day to honor Black history and recommit ourselves to uprooting the systemic racism Black Americans continue to endure today as a result of our nation’s horrific legacy of slavery.
