Powerful story about victims’ family’s opposition to the first federal execution in 20 years. It’s time for Congress to pass my bill with @AyannaPressley, @SenLeahy & @SenBooker to place a federal ban on the arbitrary and unfair federal death penalty. https://t.co/vTzDLg3VfR — PolitiTweet.org

For more than a year, I have had serious concerns about the predatory #4profit Dream Center’s accreditation misrepresentation at the IL Inst. of Art. The students they harmed deserve relief. I will always keep fighting on their behalf. https://t.co/29sYaUsk07 — PolitiTweet.org

.@BetsyDeVosED must immediately comply with @BobbyScotts’ investigation. Full transparency is the only way to clear up what appears to be serious Department misconduct and misrepresentations to Congress. https://t.co/vwIlL09WnA — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell’s refusal to act in 2016, and President Trump’s open solicitation & reported telling the Russians their attacks on the U.S. didn’t matter are stunning abdications of their oaths of office. https://t.co/VvA57ZB4vg — PolitiTweet.org

.@Gululai_Ismail risked her life to advocate for the rights of women in Pakistan, and was forced to flee her home as a result. Human rights defenders like her – and her family -- should be celebrated and not attacked or harassed. https://t.co/n6C4rZDcQU — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the leadership shown by the State of Illinois to address the retirement security crisis. The Illinois Secure Choice Program is projected to help 1.2 million workers save for the future. https://t.co/5mOP2aeux8 — PolitiTweet.org

We can expect more vaping-related hospitalizations until @US_FDA starts doing its job. E-cig companies are targeting children with these products for a reason. They're trying to hook a generation of young people on nicotine, & the FDA is letting them. https://t.co/o7an71gZvw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Skyrocketing rates of young people using e-cigarettes, and now two deaths and over 200 cases of severe lung disease linked to vaping. Nothing but silence from @US_FDA. What will it take? https://t.co/TPfDKSH06e — PolitiTweet.org

Brazilian President Bolsonoro is threatening our planet with these reckless and selfish Amazon deforestation policies. Sadly, our President has emboldened this kind of behavior by repeatedly denying the science behind climate change. https://t.co/3jfUHxicd7 — PolitiTweet.org

Our infrastructure investments should lead to new jobs and growth for disadvantaged small businesses. Proud to introduce the Build Local, Hire Local Act w/@SenDuckworth, prioritizing local workers & communities of color in any comprehensive infrastructure bill Congress reviews. — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, I joined with colleagues in the Senate to request an update from the UAE’s ambassador to the U.S. regarding Mr. Mansoor’s well-being and plans for his timely release. https://t.co/gBw0FVfWjX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I welcome the UAE’s decision to scale back their involvement in the disastrous war in Yemen. They should also release human rights activist Ahmed Mansoor, who’s being held there on questionable charges. https://t.co/eh3wosRjcD — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulating my mother's homeland and the Lithuanian people on their newly elected president, @GitanasNausėda, who was sworn into office today. I welcome the continued strong friendship with a NATO ally who helped lead the way for Eastern Europe’s freedom from the Soviet Union. — PolitiTweet.org

Our intelligence agencies are spending millions of dollars to stop the Russians from making a mockery of the 2020 election. Unfortunately, Leader McConnell is blocking critical, comprehensive election security legislation that would help to assure every vote will be counted. — PolitiTweet.org
