Americans are rightly worried about inflation and rising prices. What they may not know is that swipe fees contribute to this problem. When swipe fees on credit & debit cards go up, like they did just two weeks ago, it increases inflationary pressures—and consumers pay the price. — PolitiTweet.org

The recent recanting by key witnesses of allegations made against Philippines Senator Leila De Lima warrant her immediate release. The fact that she has lost five years of her life is already a travesty. It's past time she is given her freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake about it: this is about the state going into your home and telling you how to plan your family. And now, for the first time in years, Americans' right to privacy and freedom are up in the air—entirely dependent on a dubiously-obtained SCOTUS majority. — PolitiTweet.org

There is a reason Republicans are trying to convince you that the “leaker” is the big story today. Republicans are afraid to own the outcome they have been chasing for decades now—a post-Roe America, one where American children have fewer rights than their parents did. https://t.co/QBm8BUiUaa — PolitiTweet.org

In 2006, I asked then-Judge Alito if #RoeVWade was settled law. His answer? "Roe v. Wade is an important precedent... It has been challenged... [and] reaffirmed. That strengthens its value for stare decisis." What changed? A packed conservative majority. https://t.co/ItveAAdfZi — PolitiTweet.org

America woke up today to the news that one of their constitutional rights is about to be taken away. And this decision could threaten other rights that Americans hold dear. @SenateDems and the nation must stand up for #RoeVWade. https://t.co/JKydDWUsgm — PolitiTweet.org

Once again commend President Biden for not taking his foot off the gas when it comes to providing aid to Ukraine. We must continue to support these brave freedom fighters for as long as Putin’s vicious, unprovoked war persists. https://t.co/Yq4DN6ZHjI — PolitiTweet.org

For the 9th year in a row, I am once again calling on high school principals, counselors, and teachers across IL to warn college-bound students and their families about the dangers of #4profit colleges. They're a direct threat to these students and should be treated as such. https://t.co/yGaYoybdbT — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see the Biden Admin. going after Russian oligarchs. If we want to hold Putin accountable for his actions in Ukraine, then we have to go after the massive ill-gotten wealth that his cronies and enablers have amassed across the western world. https://t.co/wTCGqUkpmj — PolitiTweet.org
