Simply put, this tragic death was preventable. For more than a month, I have led bipartisan calls from Congress for the Trump Admin to take common-sense measures to prevent the spread of #COVID19 in federal prisons, which are especially susceptible to this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Countless Illinoisans have or may lose their jobs in the coming weeks due to #COVID19. @SenDuckworth & I spoke w/ @ILAFLCIO about pushing for commonsense measures like federal assistance for COBRA, hazard pay for front line workers, & increased safety standards at work. — PolitiTweet.org

Local broadcasters play a critical role during the #COVID19 crisis, keeping us informed about the latest guidelines to protect our families against this virus. Great to talk with @ILBroadcasting today, & I'll continue working with them to support our local broadcasters. — PolitiTweet.org

Cengage and McGraw-Hill are the second and third largest textbook companies in the country, and now they’re looking to merge. This could have devastating consequences for the already too-high price of textbooks. https://t.co/OJfWXuaZmR — PolitiTweet.org
