The President’s scorched-Earth trade war approach with China has now closed Illinois’ #1 agriculture market. USDA’s own economists say the damage will take years to undo. Who is winning? Who is losing? — PolitiTweet.org

Pres. Trump cut all non-humanitarian trade w/ Venezuela. Ban on exports has one notable exception: he still allows cruel exportation of Venezuelans living in the U.S. Pres. Trump refuses to give Temporary Protected Status to Venezuelans who fear returning to lawless failed state. — PolitiTweet.org

Fan safety should be a top priority for @MLB. That’s why @SenDuckworth and I are asking the league to start collecting and reporting data about fan injuries at MLB stadiums. This is about protecting baseball’s biggest (and littlest) fans. https://t.co/3j465GKzif — PolitiTweet.org

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law 54 years ago today, only to be gutted by the Supreme Court in 2013. In the 6 years since, too many states have successfully taken steps to make it harder for people to vote. It’s time for Congress to #RestoreTheVote. — PolitiTweet.org

There are 45 million seniors in America who have prescription drug coverage under Medicare. Some of them are forced to skip doses, split pills, or avoid filling prescriptions because of the skyrocketing increases in drug prices. https://t.co/VuJ6JY3KaN — PolitiTweet.org

We also asked AG Barr to repudiate President Trump’s view that white nationalism is not a growing threat, and to rescind the Trump Administration’s outrageous decision to stop tracking white supremacist violence as a category of domestic terrorism. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s long past time to call this threat what it is. White supremacy is the most dangerous form of domestic terrorism threatening our nation. If we aren’t willing to confront this threat as such, these attacks will not stop. Inaction is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

The violence was so bad over the weekend that the emergency room at Mt. Sinai Hospital was forced to close for several hours as our hospitals and heroic first responders were stretched to their limit across the city. This is not normal. We must act now. https://t.co/q6j7jPgO0X — PolitiTweet.org
