My prayers are with the victims of last night’s devastating tornadoes. I thank the first responders who continue search and rescue operations in difficult conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

The Build Back Better Act would provide billions of dollars for scientific research across a number of agencies—essential funding as America faces unprecedented threats like climate change and COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

It was great welcoming @SecGranholm to Illinois and visiting @Fermilab to see some of the cutting edge science receiving federal support. I take great pride in knowing that world-changing research is happening in Illinois. https://t.co/nFTPKhozE1 — PolitiTweet.org

The Texas law is a model for how to undermine constitutional rights—and the conservative majority on the Supreme Court has once again shown that it is willing to allow even facially unconstitutional laws to remain intact when the laws align with certain ideological preferences. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to stop jumping from crisis to crisis when it comes to the debt ceiling, funding the government, and passing the NDAA. Instead, we should get to work for the American people and send the #BuildBackBetter Act to President Biden’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Just voted alongside a bipartisan group of Senators to address the debt limit and prevent devastating Medicare cuts to doctors and hospitals across America. It was a solution Democrats have been proposing for months, but one that was held up by Republicans for political gain. — PolitiTweet.org

Met with Robert Califf today, President Biden’s nominee to lead @US_FDA. I told Dr. Califf that, if he is confirmed, he must use his authority as FDA commissioner to protect our children from a lifetime of nicotine addiction by finally regulating e-cigarettes. — PolitiTweet.org

America’s child care infrastructure is severely lacking, and working families are paying the price. With #BuildBackBetter, we can ensure that families have access to quality, affordable child care—allowing them to go to work and unlock the full potential of our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks THREE MONTHS past the court-ordered deadline for @US_FDA to finish reviewing e-cigarettes—yet some of the most kid-friendly vapes remain on the market without authorization. When will the agency finally wake up to its public health duty and do the right thing? — PolitiTweet.org

The Pell Grant program has long been a cornerstone of America’s investment in college financial aid, but it has failed to keep up with the times. Now is the time to inject new life into Pell grants and help open the doors of higher education to working families. #BuildBackBetter https://t.co/qn2GeV6ra0 — PolitiTweet.org

Omicron poses a challenge our pandemic response—but thanks to Democrats’ American Rescue Plan, the U.S. is better prepared to handle new variants. Our historic investments in public health are paying off with more vaccines & detection, but we can’t stop here. #BuildBackBetter. https://t.co/jxYNipwES3 — PolitiTweet.org

During a global pandemic, it’s reckless for Senate Republicans to further delay confirmation of a highly qualified nominee in Dr. @Atul_Gawande to head USAID’s global health effort. I spoke with Dr. Gawande today and have full confidence in his ability to fulfill this key role. — PolitiTweet.org
