Here's one example of the importance of competition policy: Last year, American businesses paid $77 billion in fees for credit card transactions under the Visa-Mastercard duopoly. Those fees are passed along to consumers in the form of higher prices, and contribute to inflation. — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome the long overdue release of 500 political prisoners in Egypt, but that still leaves tens of thousand. For too long, Egypt has tried to silence peaceful dissent, including jailing family members of Aly Mahdy, a lawful U.S. asylee and Illinois resident. — PolitiTweet.org

The environmental need for the Quincy Bay Restoration Project is clear, and I've been fighting for it for years. I stopped by to discuss the additional $35M secured for the project in the Senate-passed WRDA. If appropriated, these added dollars help move forward the restoration. https://t.co/Wvzj1HLV4e — PolitiTweet.org

Credit card swipe fees inflate the prices consumers pay for groceries and gas. Bringing real competition to the credit card network market will help hold these fees in check. That’s why we need the Credit Card Competition Act, which a broad coalition of U.S. businesses support. https://t.co/GIFztz0coo — PolitiTweet.org

Competitive markets reduce costs for businesses and lower prices for consumers. Merchants of all sizes support the bipartisan Credit Card Competition Act because the bill will enhance competition and choice in a credit card network market that lacks them. https://t.co/41oRXPXZSu — PolitiTweet.org
