One of many reasons why it is so important for Congress to pass new COVID funding as soon as possible. We should be doing everything in our power to save lives and put this pandemic behind us. https://t.co/PytddrqOoK — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed having the chance to catch up with @bsw5020 and @sabrevaya today. As always, I am in awe of their tireless work at @iamalsorg and—as I reminded them—I remain committed to doing my part to ensure ALS research is adequately prioritized by the federal government. https://t.co/EXKUKvWxoF — PolitiTweet.org

During my meeting with @Fermilab Director @LiaMerminga today, I reiterated my commitment to securing federal funds for the groundbreaking research being accomplished at national labs like Fermilab so that they can continue to push the boundaries of scientific discovery. https://t.co/VEXkXrmPEe — PolitiTweet.org

It's too easy for anonymous third-party sellers to create accounts for online marketplaces like Amazon and sell high volumes of illicit goods. If a product turns out to be dangerous, counterfeit, or stolen, consumers need to know who sold it to them and demand accountability. — PolitiTweet.org
