When a child experiences trauma—like witnessing a shooting—it harms the brain & can cause a ripple effect that impacts health, education & wellbeing. To help children heal emotional scars & break the cycle of violence, we must invest in trauma-informed, community-based efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator McConnell blocked a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 assault on the Capitol. Now he opposes a Senate investigation into the Trump DOJ’s alleged abuses of power. The Senate cannot simply look the other way and ignore its oversight responsibilities. https://t.co/FdOPp2TcSc — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to have supported this effort to make #Juneteenth a federal holiday. Our nation must continue to educate ourselves about the terrible legacy of slavery in the United States and reflect on how that legacy impacts our lives to this day. — PolitiTweet.org

The DACA program turns nine years old today and Dreamers are still waiting on a pathway to citizenship. Potential deals have come and gone, and they have waited all the while. It’s time we finally #LetThemDream. It’s time we pass the American Dream and Promise Act. https://t.co/yOLH5vnsYS — PolitiTweet.org

600,000 deaths in just over one year is a tragedy on an almost unimaginable scale. The weight of these losses will be felt for years to come. My prayers are with all of those who lost their lives to this virus, their families, and their friends. — PolitiTweet.org

I introduced legislation earlier this year– the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act—to address this significant and lethal threat. Congress needs to pass this bill to combat the growing threat of domestic terrorism here in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

I commend the Biden Admin. for taking steps to address the substantial and growing threat of domestic terrorism in the U.S.—including by recognizing the particular threat posed by violent white supremacists. We cannot continue to ignore this deadly menace in our own backyard. — PolitiTweet.org

My prayers are with the victims of this tragic shooting. We must never allow ourselves to grow numb to this level of violence. Mass shootings do not have to be a part of everyday American life. https://t.co/sKcad27xKH — PolitiTweet.org

It has been 9 years since President Obama created the DACA program, and Dreamers still do not have a path to citizenship. There is no excuse for delaying any longer—the Senate must follow the House and pass the American Dream and Promise Act. #LetThemDream — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not often that Lions are celebrated in the home of the Bears, but I was honored to be the commencement speaker Sunday for the @LPHSLionPride graduation at @SoldierField.

Open textbooks have long been a priority of mine. No student should be forced to put themselves at a disadvantage just because they cannot afford the required textbooks. I look forward to continue my work pushing for open textbooks and other ways to make college more affordable. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to once again join my @SenateDems colleagues in introducing a resolution recognizing June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans is by no means a thing of the past.

Today we #RememberPulse. 49 lives lost to senseless gun violence and anti-LGBTQ hate. A tragedy that is still hard to comprehend. But tomorrow, with Pulse always in our minds, we continue the fight to end gun violence and hatred. We will not rest until we do. — PolitiTweet.org
