My constituents cannot afford another crash. They lost their homes, jobs, and many of them are still recovering. That’s why today at @FSCDems hearing I asked about how we can help protect our communities from these #shadowbanks, which have been deregulated under Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

AIG. Bear Stearns. Lehman Brothers. We know the names all too well. The size and complexity of these financial institutions made them central to the '08 crash. But Trump appointees have removed protections from these non-bank financial companies, which puts us at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Large financial non-banks aka shadow banks were at the center of the 2008 economic crisis, yet they mostly stood outside the regulatory system. I am worried that we have failed to learn the lessons of '08 and are making the same mistakes again. https://t.co/rNOXOhGpZu — PolitiTweet.org

Lo dije en mayo y lo repito hoy: nadie, ni el Presidente, está por encima de la ley. La integridad fundamental de nuestra democracia está en juego. Apoyo la decision de @SpeakerPelosi de abrir un juicio politico contra Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

I said it back in May, and I’ll say it again—No one, including the President, is above the law. The fundamental integrity of our democracy is at stake. I support @SpeakerPelosi’s decision to open an impeachment inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org

Commuter rail is an essential component of what makes Chicago run. Today's @TransportDems hearing is looking at the challenges our commuter rail systems are facing and opportunities to address these issues through legislation. Tune in now to watch live: https://t.co/8HkLpyCVNE — PolitiTweet.org

I joined the @UAW picket line in solidarity with the nearly 50,000 auto workers striking across the country for fair pay, better benefits and job security. Unions built the middle class, and it's through unions that we can rebuild the middle class again. #UnionStrong https://t.co/JB7Z52hV4e — PolitiTweet.org

Heroes of #HispanicHeritageMonth My dear friend and brother, Rudy Lozano, was a political and community activist who inspired generations of Mexican Americans and Latin@s in Chicago, including me. Fighting by his side will forever be one of the greatest honors of my life. https://t.co/vKjyTioZtD — PolitiTweet.org

@realDonaldTrump @realdonaldtrump: why are you further militarizing ICE, terrorizing our communities, and using taxpayer dollars to send ICE agents in the homes and businesses of fellow Chicagoans? — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

@realDonaldTrump Trump is putting the communities I represent in the crosshairs of an increasingly militarized ICE. His decision to wage urban warfare on our communities only tears apart families and repeats his lies about immigrants as criminals. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

@realDonaldTrump ICE is making military replicas of Chicago homes and backyards to even include details like the number of dishes left on tables, toys in the yard, lighting, furniture, etc. https://t.co/w6x5cMJlTA — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

@realDonaldTrump Check this out: the company ICE selected to carry out its plan, Strategic Operations, says their ‘training services in the field of urban warfare … include weapons & special effects, namely, rocket-propelled grenades, mines, improvised devices … to simulate the fog of war.’ — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

.@realdonaldtrump is declaring war on our neighborhoods. He is militarizing ICE agents by constructing an “urban warfare” training facility at Fort Benning to provide hyper-realistic models of homes, hotels and businesses in Chicago. https://t.co/vgexDC1cMw — PolitiTweet.org

Native American women make on average 58 cents on the dollar and they must work an extra 9 months to earn as much as their white male peers do in 1 year. It’s time for the @senatemajldr to bring the #PaycheckFairness Act to a vote. #NativeWomensEqualPay https://t.co/gM7OW4Oemh — PolitiTweet.org

If @realDonaldTrump asked the Ukrainian president to investigate his political opponent's family, he illegally extorted a foreign government to help his own campaign. Trump must release the #whistleblower report now. https://t.co/bvDM50dAli — PolitiTweet.org

GM could learn a thing or two from unions. After GM cut health insurance for striking workers, @UAW stepped up to cover their pay & health care because that’s what unions do: take care of workers. https://t.co/BECRseXNIa — PolitiTweet.org

2 years ago today, #HurricaneMaria hit Puerto Rico. 30,000 households still have tarps as roofs and the island is also still waiting for long delayed funds. It’s time our federal government gives #PuertoRico the relief they need. #2añoshuracanmaria https://t.co/bCShHjdOZ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Those of us who choose public service don’t do it alone. All of us who know Mr. Clyburn know how much he loved his dear wife Dr. Emily Clyburn—together, they were partners in the good fight. My deepest condolences to @WhipClyburn and his family. https://t.co/zkCIp5k9S7 — PolitiTweet.org

Berta's family came to Washington this week as part of their search for justice. We must continue supporting the fight against corruption and impunity in Honduras and we must help find all those responsible for her murder. https://t.co/1rS5NT2kcv — PolitiTweet.org

Berta Cáceres was a beloved indigenous woman from Honduras who was murdered because of her environmental activism. She believed that to give your life in defense of the rivers and waters was to give your life for the well-being of humanity and our planet. — PolitiTweet.org
