The U.S. has less than 5% of the world’s population but about 22% of the world’s prison population. The bills we are considering are small steps toward ensuring we are not incarcerating those who do not need to be in prison—and I'm proud of their broad, bipartisan support. — PolitiTweet.org

Too many families have mourned a child lost to an accidental shooting at home. I'm joining my colleagues to introduce the Safe Gun Storage Act to help ensure guns will be safely stored & out of the hands of children. https://t.co/IlYsUPPnyH — PolitiTweet.org

In 2018, Congress came together on a bipartisan basis to pass the most important criminal justice reform law in a generation. I was proud to champion this effort with Senator Grassley. Now we're working to ensure that the First Step Act and its goals are successfully implemented. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I had the chance to discuss two projects with @USAID Admin. @PowerUSAID that are near and dear to my heart—the Paul Simon Water for the World Act and Mobility, as exemplified by the work of groups like @PowerOfBicycles. I hope she'll remember them in her role at USAID. https://t.co/zUlr71jPcy — PolitiTweet.org

When our criminal justice system turns toward solutions like community-based treatment, we can reduce recidivism, save costs, & improve outcomes. Pleased to speak with Judges Walsh & Hood about how Cook County's veterans and drug courts offer Illinoisans a proven path forward. https://t.co/10MNRwlmjH — PolitiTweet.org

I was with Sen. McConnell on Jan 6. I saw the anger & frustration on his face. So it is disappointing that he now opposes a commission to study the events of that day, but it is not surprising.
