This bill will help meet the needs & support the success of the workers and job creators I’ve had the opportunity to job-shadow during #CheriOnShifts. We must continue to invest in the skills and resources our workers need to remain competitive and grow our local economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Strengthening & growing our workforce has always been one of my top priorities. Today, I introduced the Investing in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act w/ @SenatorDurbin & @SenDougJones to increase federal investments in worker training and help prepare workers for the jobs of the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Animal cruelty is unacceptable in our society. As an animal lover, I’m proud to support the #PACTAct today to make cruelty against animals a federal crime. It’s our responsibility to #ProtectOurPets! https://t.co/5MiSvpJjs0 — PolitiTweet.org

The new rule proposed by HUD would weaken the standard and undermine the Fair Housing Act – leaving Illinoisans across the state vulnerable to discriminatory practices. This is entirely unacceptable and I strongly urge HUD to reconsider this decision. — PolitiTweet.org

In a letter to @HUDgov, I joined my Illinois colleagues in opposing HUD’s proposed changes to the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact standard, which has served as a key tool to address structural inequalities in housing and lending markets. https://t.co/emJUw3NLsl — PolitiTweet.org

The #SHIELDAct would: ✔️ Require campaigns to tell the FBI when foreign govts try to interfere ✔️ Make online ads more transparent ✔️ Close loopholes allowing foreign spending ✔️ Penalize deceptive practices about voting So foreign adversaries can't influence our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

First, @HouseDemocrats passed the #SAFEAct to strengthen our election infrastructure & protect our national security. Now, I will support passing the #SHIELDAct to keep foreign govts from trying to influence our elections. This isn’t a partisan issue. It's our patriotic duty. ⤵️ — PolitiTweet.org

I urge the VA to take a hard look at how this inconsistent policy deters veterans, because I’m sure the veterans of Northwest & Central Illinois aren't alone. I thank the veterans who have raised this issue and will continue to work to alleviate this potential burden. — PolitiTweet.org

This unnecessary red tape forces our veterans to jump through additional hoops when they’re simply seeking the services they need. Our goal should be to make the process as efficient and effective as possible to eliminate additional difficulties like assistance delays. — PolitiTweet.org

Archive: Rep. Cheri Bustos @RepCheri

This additional hurdle has left veterans frustrated and concerned with the VA’s process and can even lead to veterans giving up on getting help instead of seeking assistance. Our veterans have earned nothing short of the best care and we owe it to them to deliver it. — PolitiTweet.org

Veterans seeking assistance have been repeatedly forced to re-sign Privacy Act Release forms that they have previously completed and are under no obligation to resubmit. As a result, veterans are often forced to travel to sign a new form in person or complete them via mail. — PolitiTweet.org

I just sent a letter to the @DeptVetAffairs urging them to address inconsistencies in their casework process. While assisting local veterans, my office identified additional hurdles that have left veterans frustrated or concerned with the VA’s process. ⬇️ https://t.co/n7eP214aSj — PolitiTweet.org

Oct. 26 is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day & @Walgreens is showing leadership by making safe medication disposal kiosks available at stores across the country. If you have unwanted medications, search "medication disposal near me" to find a store. https://t.co/IOSS9N7Q8e — PolitiTweet.org

On @AppropsDems we're tasked with being good stewards of taxpayer dollars, but this administration continues to exploit that responsibility. As public servants, we should be working #ForThePeople, not to enrich ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois has a proud tradition of agricultural research – especially at the Peoria Ag Lab. I'd like to thank my colleagues @RepKimSchrier, @RepJimmyPanetta and @SenatorDurbin for joining me on this critical legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Every $1 invested in ag research returns more than $20 to our economy. Critical research is needed to arm farmers with innovative tools to fight the growing climate crisis. That’s why my #RuralGreenPartnership also calls for increased research funding. https://t.co/LljEt6srLn — PolitiTweet.org

Archive: Rep. Cheri Bustos @RepCheri

We need to make big, bold investments in agricultural research to empower our farmers to compete across the world. That’s why I just introduced the America Grows Act to authorize a five percent annual funding increase over the next five years @USDA. https://t.co/nI2OCb5242 — PolitiTweet.org
