With 500+ cases of vaping-related illnesses and now 8 deaths, this can’t wait any longer. I'm joining @lisamurkowski, @SenJeffMerkley, & @SenBlumenthal in urging the @US_FDA to pull unapproved, kid-popular e-cigarette devices from the market, unless or until they are proven safe. https://t.co/eTIg5WfgAu — PolitiTweet.org

AFTERNOON READ: A great story about Nasir Zakaria, who I've had the privilege of meeting. Nasir is a Rohingya, and was able to come to the U.S. via a refugee resettlement program in 2013 before becoming a citizen this past summer. Congratulations, Nasir! https://t.co/jcPIryqHH3 — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot afford to put off addressing climate change any longer. The science is clear, this is an existential threat to our nation and to the world. Climate change deniers – like our President – must accept that fact. Our very existence is at stake. #ClimateStrike #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see @CBS, @WarnerMediaGrp, and @Viacom drop the misleading ads for e-cigarette companies like JUUL. #VapingTargetsKids with these ads, so this is an important step towards keeping these dangerous and addictive products out of the hands of our children. — PolitiTweet.org

It's only right that we recognize the public service of adjunct professors & share access to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, a benefit available to their full-time colleagues. Proud to work with @SenDuckworth, @maziehirono, & @SenBooker to expand student debt relief. — PolitiTweet.org

With 5M+ teens vaping, we must use all tools to confront this youth vaping epidemic. My Tobacco Tax Equity Act will establish the first federal e-cigarette tax & end tobacco tax loopholes that have been exploited for too long. Read about my bill here: https://t.co/rTRV0VF2rm — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to secure federal funding for Illinois in the bills that passed the Senate Appropriations Committee today. Today’s bills fund important functions and programs within our government and in Illinois. I hope the full Senate considers them quickly. https://t.co/ng0r7usrB0 — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t mistake today’s discharges as a sign of empathy for defrauded student borrowers by @BetsyDeVosED. At the same time that she's providing discharges for ITT borrowers, she's also busy gutting the borrower defense rule. https://t.co/tJgtcfYMyE — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t let President Trump stumble into a war with Iran on behalf of the Saudis. Another war in the Middle East would be ruinous for everyone involved. https://t.co/mgzyl8O3u0 — PolitiTweet.org

Although #ChildMortality is declining, the world still lost 5.3 million children under 5 last year, mostly from preventable or treatable causes. That's why I support continued US leadership for maternal, newborn, & child health programs around the world. https://t.co/dvuIDQxeua — PolitiTweet.org

Studies have shown that even a 10% tax lowers tobacco use by as much as 5%. The @Surgeon_General and @WHO have called it the most effective way to reduce tobacco use. I think the same will be true for e-cigarettes. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
My Tobacco Tax Equity Act establishes the 1st federal e-cigarette tax. It will close loopholes exploited by Big Tobacco to avoid the taxes, & it will double the federal tax rate on these products & peg it to inflation so it remains an effective public health tool in the future. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It’s time to start taxing e-cigs. The single best way to keep these products out of the hands of kids is to price it out of their range. That’s why we passed taxes on cigarettes years ago, & it’s why I’m introducing a bill later today to start doing the same to e-cigarettes. https://t.co/cvh76mv0CQ — PolitiTweet.org

.@Gulalai_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

Proud to join @CongressmanRaja and @RepPeteKing in leading the bipartisan, bicameral Caucus to #EndYouthVaping. Like Big Tobacco before them, #VapingTargetsKids for a reason. They’re trying to hook an entire generation on nicotine. We must not allow that to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

#VapingTargetsKids. In the last 2 years, the number of children using e-cigarettes has more than doubled. Today, more than 1 in 4 high-schoolers are vaping. And 10% of middle-schoolers are. @US_FDA must not drag their feet any longer. Ban e-cig flavors now to protect our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

The resulting damage to our military – & to Congressional authority – continues to pile up. I urge my Republican colleagues to join Democrats in reasserting Congressional authority & assuring our military families that they haven’t been forgotten amidst foolish campaign promises. — PolitiTweet.org

We all remember then-candidate Donald Trump’s idea that we need a 2,000 mile wall from sea-to-shining-sea, and his claim that Mexico would pay for it. But Mexico said no, and now President Trump has decided that our military and their families should pay for it instead. — PolitiTweet.org
