The biggest blockbuster drugs in the US have an average of 71 patents each – and 74% of all new drug patents are for those already on the market. This does not promote innovation, it games the system. My REMEDY Act with @BillCassidy will curb this manipulation to lower Rx costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Visited @SAHealthSystem in Rockford this morning to discuss the bipartisan REMEDY Act, which aims to lower prescription drug prices and promote competition by cracking down on the drug industry’s patent abuses and removing barriers to approval for lower-cost generic medication. https://t.co/9KSkLMBaai — PolitiTweet.org

For-profit colleges aggressively recruit veterans to take advantage of GI Bill funding. If Sec DeVos & Pres Trump care about our vets, they wouldn’t let these deadbeat schools steal their hard-earned funding & leave them with a worthless degree: https://t.co/2Yd2NCrxMz — PolitiTweet.org

I hear time and time again from Illinois farmers that the President’s trade war continues to hurt their ability to plan long-term. I support fair trade, but this scorched Earth trade policy must end. https://t.co/gqrph8UCEH — PolitiTweet.org

A well-deserved Pulitzer Prize was awarded to @Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who are unjustly imprisoned for their work reporting on the atrocities in Myanmar. I’ve long urged for their release and will continue to put pressure on the Burmese government to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I talked with program mentors and participants from @YAPInc and @ChildrenHomeAid about the Choose to Change program @UChiUrbanLabs. C2C helps to reduce violence by engaging youth in a program that combines trauma-informed therapy with mentorship and advocacy. https://t.co/lUJKm0XYs5 — PolitiTweet.org

On #TaxDay, the facts are clear. The President’s tax law has overwhelmingly helped big corporations, millionaires, and billionaires pad their pockets. The middle-class was left behind, with this law leading to one harmful surprise after another. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I sat down with local stakeholders at @ACLUofIL to discuss my visit to the southwest border. It's clear that President Trump’s fear-mongering approach to border security has failed and that we need bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform. https://t.co/QMLom4HXHD — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s exploitation of the 9/11 terrorist attack to politically target Rep. Omar is a new low for a President who sinks to new depths of hate and fear with alarming frequency. — PolitiTweet.org

This is another sad example of President Trump’s cruel and failing approach to immigration and border security. Using migrant families and children as pawns in a political game will never solve the challenges we face at our border, it will only exacerbate them. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm in El Paso today touring our border. This morning I saw scans of vehicles using Z-portals at our port of entry. We need more of this technology, which is what stops lethal drugs from flowing across our border, not a big beautiful wall. https://t.co/Z79s3PKKqq — PolitiTweet.org

I read the Trump Administration’s own travel advisory saying it’s unsafe to go to Venezuela on the Senate floor yesterday. If the President truly cared about the Venezuelan people, he’d grant TPS status to Venezuelans already in the U.S. so they’re not forced to return to danger. https://t.co/4lPtXLAmqN — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, we cannot rely on the Supreme Court to uphold the foundational principles of religious freedom and tolerance right now, so Congress must step in. That’s why I stood with my colleagues today to introduce the #NoBanAct https://t.co/f6HAUABQl8 — PolitiTweet.org

In a dissent, Justice Sotomayor noted that the ban was “driven primarily by anti-Muslim animus" and that “the majority opinion upends this Court’s precedent, repeats tragic mistakes of the past, and denies countless individuals the fundamental right of religious liberty.” — PolitiTweet.org

Within a week of becoming president, Donald Trump issued a discriminatory travel ban targeting the Muslim community. Federal courts initially stepped in and enjoined the ban—but, unfortunately, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court upheld the ban last June. — PolitiTweet.org
