54 years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the #VotingRightsAct into law to combat voting discrimination based on race. But make no mistake – voter suppression is still alive and well. We must do everything we can to protect the sacred right to vote for all Americans. https://t.co/nM8xxKDp2i — PolitiTweet.org

An American treasure. RIP, Toni Morrison – may her values and words guide us to a more just future. “…just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.” #ToniMorrison — PolitiTweet.org

This president’s trade war is erratic and short sighted. Tariffs might sound nice to a Manhattan billionaire – but in rural Illinois, we feel the consequences every day. This trade war could hollow out our ag economy for generations to come. https://t.co/z6fCGG2D8U — PolitiTweet.org

Months ago, @HouseDemocrats passed commonsense legislation to require universal background checks to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. McConnell’s obstruction is outrageous – the Senate should come back into session IMMEDIATELY to pass this bill. https://t.co/pHCTAjXMS3 — PolitiTweet.org

Twice in 24 hours. My heart goes out to the people of El Paso and Dayton, as we mourn these tragic acts of violence. I thank the first responders for their quick action. As a country, we must bring an end to these mass shootings. https://t.co/eaZpTplyPf — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased @USGAO is reviewing the effectiveness of “Move Over” laws after my colleagues and I called on them to do so. We must protect our first responders while stopped along busy roads and I thank @GovPritzker for his efforts at the state level. https://t.co/fkRlTGjHtG — PolitiTweet.org

At the County Market in Sterling yesterday, folks were concerned about the outrageous price of prescription drugs. So far @HouseDemocrats have passed 10 bills to lower the cost of health care and prescription drugs. It’s time @senatemajldr brings them to a vote! https://t.co/kap6m8JihS — PolitiTweet.org

For the first stop on my annual 21st Century Heartland Tour, I toured a solar farm at @HCCCougars to learn more about their efforts to become an eco-friendly campus. Thanks for the truly electrifying visit! ⚡️ https://t.co/cQQOtTNBuC — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, we passed legislation that would repeal what's known as the "Cadillac Tax" to further @HouseDemocrats work to lower the rising cost of health care. This would provide some much-needed relief to workers who may have given up pay in exchange for a better health care plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether I'm on the job site during a #CheriOnShift or walking the grocery store aisles during a Supermarket Saturday, I consistently hear folks haven't gotten a raise in years. That's why I helped pass the #RaiseTheWageAct to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 by 2025. — PolitiTweet.org

The #ButchLewisAct keeps pension promises made to workers during the course of their careers and guarantees retirees don't face pension cuts. Let's be clear: if Washington can rescue Wall Street bankers, it's a moral imperative we're there for working men and women. — PolitiTweet.org

For my #CheriOnShift today with @ilamwater in Peoria, I helped conduct a water quality test. On @AppropsDems, I’ve helped pass legislation to provide access to safe and clean drinking water.
