Today I visited Robbins for their storm water management groundbreaking ceremony. This project is just the latest example of the important work @MWRDGC is doing all around the region to help address flooding in historically underserved communities. https://t.co/hTcQOJfTVx — PolitiTweet.org

With school starting soon, Illinois is facing a major teacher shortage—and a main reason is low pay. My RETAIN Act would help solve this problem by creating fully refundable tax credits for teachers and other school staff in low-income schools. https://t.co/FJKlApUSwr — PolitiTweet.org

Trauma continues to be one of the leading causes of violence. It is vital that we support trauma-informed care and take proactive steps toward keeping our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, signed into law by @POTUS in June, provides $250M in funding for community-based violence prevention initiatives and $3 billion in school and community-based mental health services. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois remains a leader in the EV industry. I commend Lion Electric for contributing to that effort through their production of all-electric school buses and trucks. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I had the opportunity to visit @LionElectricCo’s Joliet facility with @RepBillFoster and @GovPritzker and discuss federal investment in EV infrastructure via programs in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. https://t.co/ih4UnCd6vt — PolitiTweet.org

Since Putin's invasion in February, Ukraine has fought back with immeasurable resiliency & courage. This latest aid package demonstrates that the US remains unequivocally in support of Ukraine as it defends against Putin's tyrannical war. https://t.co/WembPkh1Gw — PolitiTweet.org

The PACT Act was about keeping our promise to veterans. With President Biden's signature, veterans can finally receive the care they deserve after being exposed to toxic chemicals during their service. Starting today, veterans can apply for these new health care benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

I am glad to see that a federal judge in TX finally implemented the Supreme Court’s ruling on “Remain in Mexico” and lifted the injunction that blocked the termination of that policy. I applaud the Administration’s efforts to end this shameful practice. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I joined @ilenviro and @ILAFLCIO to discuss the Inflation Reduction Act, the most transformative effort the US has ever taken to combat the climate crisis. Billions of dollars will be put toward clean energy, electric vehicles, solar panels, and jobs thanks to @SenateDems. https://t.co/EqLz2hmiNV — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act is fair, it’s paid for, it fights inflation, and it lowers the deficit. It’s exactly what American families need. — PolitiTweet.org

We know Americans are feeling the brunt of inflation. This plan is fully paid for by cracking down on Big Pharma & closing tax loopholes exploited by wealthy corporations to avoid paying taxes—and no one earning less than $400,000/year will pay more in taxes becuase of our plan. — PolitiTweet.org

This bill will deploy American-made clean energy to cut greenhouse gas emissions & energy costs, cut families’ health care costs, & finally allow Medicare to negotiate with drug companies for fair prices—a long overdue provision to help the over 2 million Illinoisans on Medicare. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenateDems have heard the American people: do something to fight inflation, lower prescription drug prices, and combat the climate crisis. Today’s historic legislation—the Inflation Reduction Act—will do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Every day on the Senate floor, I listen to Republicans complain about inflation. But when the opportunity comes to do something about it, they change their tune. Dems, on the other hand, are serious about lowering costs. And we're going to actually do something about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, Republicans are doing everything they can to stop the Inflation Reduction Act. They don’t want to cut costs for American families. They don’t want to address the climate crisis. And they don’t want to make Rx drugs more affordable. All they want to do is complain. — PolitiTweet.org

After a long night of votes, @SenateDems are as determined as ever to get the Inflation Reduction Act across the finish line. Republicans can offer as many bad faith amendments as they want—we’re going to stay here and get the job done. Too much is at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

57 years after the Voting Rights Act, the truth is this: Because of Shelby County v. Holder, we’re now in our tenth year without the VRA’s full protections, and it's hurting voters of color. It’s time to #RestoreTheVRA and make the promise of democracy real for all. #VRA57 — PolitiTweet.org

Shameful that Guatemalan anti-corruption judge Erika Aifan already had to flee earlier this year, and now the Guatemalan gov't tries to quash the free press. It should release respected journalist José Rubén Zamora without delay. https://t.co/15tEzXDX6E — PolitiTweet.org
