1 out of every 100 Americans over the age of 65 have died from COVID. This is a tragic level of suffering and loss. It's hard to wrap your head around death on this scale. Please go get vaccinated if you have not done so already. We all need to do our part. — PolitiTweet.org

In June, the Biden Administration established a Department of Justice Firearms Trafficking Strike Force here in Chicago. Let’s be clear: if we want to reduce shootings, we need to reduce the flow of illegal guns into this city and state. — PolitiTweet.org

The Texas law is a model for how to undermine constitutional rights—and the conservative majority on the Supreme Court has once again shown that it is willing to allow even facially unconstitutional laws to remain intact when the laws align with certain ideological preferences. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to stop jumping from crisis to crisis when it comes to the debt ceiling, funding the government, and passing the NDAA. Instead, we should get to work for the American people and send the #BuildBackBetter Act to President Biden’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Just voted alongside a bipartisan group of Senators to address the debt limit and prevent devastating Medicare cuts to doctors and hospitals across America. It was a solution Democrats have been proposing for months, but one that was held up by Republicans for political gain. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks THREE MONTHS past the court-ordered deadline for @US_FDA to finish reviewing e-cigarettes—yet some of the most kid-friendly vapes remain on the market without authorization. When will the agency finally wake up to its public health duty and do the right thing? — PolitiTweet.org

The Pell Grant program has long been a cornerstone of America’s investment in college financial aid, but it has failed to keep up with the times.
