We cannot allow the temporary custodians of the Postal Service to continue in this negligence that is resulting in serious repercussions for seniors, veterans, and small businesses. I will work with my colleagues to establish more accountability and make effective changes. — PolitiTweet.org

@USPS' Inspector General found more than 60,000 pieces of mail delayed for weeks in Chicago neighborhoods earlier this year. I have heard from many of my constituents about missed prescriptions and other critical deliveries, despite the incredible effort of postal workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Was proud to lead the effort to secure a historic investment for the National Health Service Corps & Nurse Corps in the American Rescue Plan. Glad to see the Biden Admin. is using these funds to address health disparities & health care workforce shortages. https://t.co/P3eSjeDHWm — PolitiTweet.org

Under President Biden’s #BuildBackBetter agenda, I am working to pass the RENEW Act to create a new civilian conservation corps for the 21st century and put 1 million Americans to work to complete the needed restoration of parks, trails, and natural areas. https://t.co/7f6WRsP4UY — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to help direct $1.45 million in FTA funding from the Low-No Emissions bus grant program for these new green buses. We need to keep the momentum going and increase federal funding for communities like Champaign-Urbana to purchase additional green buses. — PolitiTweet.org

If we want to pass on a livable world to our children and grandchildren, then we need to take major steps to limit carbon pollution. A carbon polluter fee is one of the things we should be doing to accomplish that goal. https://t.co/Ie5tvUfAZp — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad FDA continues to reject addictive and dangerous products that come in kid-friendly flavors. As the agency continues its review, it should not take a leap of faith on unproven benefit claims. We have clear evidence these companies target young Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

I am closely monitoring @FDA’s tobacco decisions and remain concerned about how the agency is applying its risk framework. Flavored vaping products are proven to hook kids and that must be prioritized. — PolitiTweet.org

TX, FL, UT, AR, SC, & GA are banning public health measures in their states & threatening to sue over vaccine mandates. Since July, the death rate in those states is 54 per 100k. 2.5x higher than the rest of the country. The deadly cost of resisting science & vaccines. https://t.co/m3bC37I9Uu — PolitiTweet.org
