As Chinese investments in public agricultural research rises 8-fold, the United States has seen a steady decline in federal funding for agricultural research. This is why I’m introducing the America Grows Act, which would restore robust federal funding for the @USDA. — PolitiTweet.org

Farm income today is 50% below the Obama Administration peak in 2013, and historic flooding and excessively wet conditions led to the latest planting in 60 years. https://t.co/qe8lCpEJJa — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see the @Astros extend the protective netting at their ballpark after a young fan was injured by a foul ball. Each and every other @MLB team should follow their lead. https://t.co/ewVsdJqR1g — PolitiTweet.org

There’s no question - violent white supremacy is the most dangerous form of domestic terrorism threatening our nation today. @SenBooker & I are asking the DOJ & FBI to investigate this threat w/ the same level of vigor & intensity as we saw following the Sept. 11 terror attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

There are serious questions about whether any Big Pharma executives illegally distributed the deadly substances at the heart of this epidemic. If so, it’s imperative that the DOJ investigate, and if appropriate, prosecute the individuals responsible for this criminal conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m asking AG Barr and the DOJ to look into the role of Big Pharma and their executives in fueling the opioid epidemic in America. That this conduct occurred in a corporate boardroom - and not on the streets - does nothing to distinguish it from illegal drug trafficking. https://t.co/UQr8ud9LjD — PolitiTweet.org

More than 30 years later, baseball fans shouldn’t still have to worry about their safety at the ballpark. @SenDuckworth and I are committed to working with @MLB to make fan safety a priority by extending protective netting to the foul poles and collecting data about fan injuries. — PolitiTweet.org

On August 8, 1982, Boston Red Sox left fielder Jim Rice rushed to the aid of a young fan who was struck by a foul ball. Rice carried the young fan off the field and went on to finish the game in his blood-stained uniform. https://t.co/6KpxbDRX2T — PolitiTweet.org

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law 54 years ago today, only to be gutted by the Supreme Court in 2013. In the 6 years since, too many states have successfully taken steps to make it harder for people to vote. It’s time for Congress to #RestoreTheVote. — PolitiTweet.org

There are 45 million seniors in America who have prescription drug coverage under Medicare. Some of them are forced to skip doses, split pills, or avoid filling prescriptions because of the skyrocketing increases in drug prices. https://t.co/VuJ6JY3KaN — PolitiTweet.org
