The decision to create a sentencing disparity between crack & powder cocaine was a mistake that has had devastating consequences for far too many Americans. It’s time for the Senate to right this wrong & pass the EQUAL Act—eliminating this sentencing disparity once & for all. https://t.co/r96RSVCkO5 — PolitiTweet.org

Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty, yet far too many are being detained pending trial without consideration of their individual circumstances. This bill will address record high levels of pretrial detention. I’m proud to have the support of my colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone who engages in violence or threats of violence is stepping over the line of protected speech. Whether you are storming the Capitol or threatening members of your local school board with violence, it does not matter. Free speech does not include the incitement of violence. https://t.co/ffUYTOVHhW — PolitiTweet.org

Hardly a day goes by in the city of Chicago where someone isn’t killed by gunfire. The only way we’re ever going to stop this violence is by getting guns out of the hands of criminals and off our streets. DOJ needs to be doing everything they can to make that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

As we grieve today, we must also acknowledge the hate that inspired this terrible attack. White supremacy has a long & violent history in the United States & it continues to inspire extremists across the country. It must be treated as the dangerous terrorist threat that it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks three years since the anti-Semitic terrorist attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ loved ones as they mourn the lives that were lost. May their memory be a blessing. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the first DOJ oversight hearing since October 18, 2017—the only one during the Trump Admin. Annual DOJ oversight hearings were the norm under the Obama administration. I am pleased to restore this tradition as Chair, and I thank AG Garland for appearing before us today. — PolitiTweet.org

11 million undocumented people live in this country and contribute to our economy. They deserve to live and work here without fear. It’s been 30+ years since Congress passed immigration reform. We can’t wait any longer. Now is the time and reconciliation is the way. https://t.co/THfh9CT4v8 — PolitiTweet.org

We have never gone wrong in America when we invest in the people of this country. President Biden’s Build Back Better plan is just that—an investment in the American people.

Proud of Illinois for increasing the number of rental assistance payments by 185% between August and September. I fought hard to make sure this funding was a part of Congress’ COVID-relief efforts and am glad to see it is helping to keep so many Illinoisans in their homes. — PolitiTweet.org
