I’ve consistently supported additional funding for USPS, including during COVID-19. If the Speaker truly supports funding USPS, then let’s see if she puts forward a bill that provides the appropriate funding w/o partisan poison pills to score points w/her far left base. (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

USPS plays a critical role in America’s commerce & communication. The American people rightfully expect that their post office will fulfill its constitutional mission, particularly at a time when we’re expecting an unprecedented vote-by-mail turnout. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

100 years ago, the #19thAmendment was ratified, officially granting women the right to vote. Today, we celebrate the women who led the way and fought to secure this right. https://t.co/dnR9W2UKy0 — PolitiTweet.org

We lose 20 veterans to suicide per day, which is 20 too many. Today, I introduced the bipartisan Access to Suicide Prevention Coordinators Act, which would improve access to suicide prevention coordinators at VA medical centers. https://t.co/Nvxbhr6cmG — PolitiTweet.org

In Alton, I was honored to present a certificate of recognition to @CUINCorg’s Scott Air Force Base Custodial Crew.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former governor Big Jim Thompson, the longest serving governor in Illinois history. Jim was a friend of mine and an incredible leader for our state. A giant of a man in more ways than one. Farewell, governor. https://t.co/dHZGvBHsfR — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to share that the @SIUC Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biology departments have received a research grant from @HHSGov. If there is ever a moment where we need scientific breakthroughs in research, it is now. https://t.co/GzhQSmW1lI — PolitiTweet.org

The next stop on our Hometown Heroes tour is Carbondale, where I met w/members of the Carbondale/Murphysboro Fabric Mask Response Team! Led by Mary Beth Aguilar, they've made over 12,000 masks for folks in So. IL & across the US. Thank you for your hard work! #IL12HometownHeroes https://t.co/VgTSyLEUqe — PolitiTweet.org

Our doctors & medical professionals have been working around the clock on the COVID-19 front lines to care for their patients.

Yesterday, I visited General Cable in Du Quoin to discuss how they’ve grown their business over the past few years as well as how they are keeping employees safe during COVID-19. Some of the cable they produce at their facility is being used in the southern border wall. https://t.co/EXJKizzb6w — PolitiTweet.org

After restaurants closed b/c of the COVID-19 shutdown, they have donated & delivered 14,000 boxes of produce per week to local food pantries & families in need. Rex, Tony & Lance, thanks for all you're doing to feed our community during a tough time! #IL12HometownHeroes (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

Today we kicked off our Hometown Heroes tour, recognizing Southern Illinoisans who have gone above & beyond to help their communities during the COVID-19 recovery.

I visited @TerraSourceGlbl in Belleville yesterday to learn about their facility and apprenticeship program. These apprenticeships give participants a chance to learn welding and machinist skills and help set them up for success in their future careers. Thanks for having me! https://t.co/KCTBIsXFhu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

Southern Illinoisans have gone above & beyond to keep our communities safe & healthy during the COVID-19 shutdown & they're working just as hard to get our economy back on its feet. This month, I’ll be recognizing some of our Hometown Heroes for their contributions – stay tuned! https://t.co/uB0U9qlI30 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

Congress sent Illinois $3 billion in federal COVID-19 assistance & Gov. Pritzker continues to ask for more. Yet he has withheld 86% of those funds from being disbursed & refuses to disclose how local govts can access funding. Irresponsible & unacceptable. https://t.co/RR5eTyc89y — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

Today the House approved an amendment I introduced to defend American workers from the economic harm caused by foreign countries illegally dumping their products in U.S. markets. We must keep fighting to put American workers first. https://t.co/f2Vm81IGTO — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to report that the House passed the Water Resources Development Act today, which included several provisions that I introduced to help communities across Southern IL – from Wood River in the north, to the Len Small Levee & Cairo in the south. https://t.co/OOu9uHWmp1 — PolitiTweet.org

The COVID-19 shutdown has strained the resources of our rural communities. I introduced a bill to expand access to emergency funding so these communities can continue providing necessary emergency services & establish additional COVID-19 testing centers. https://t.co/IR6ixJ4P6V — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

Today @SecElaineChao announced the creation of the ROUTES Applicant Toolkit, which will help rural communities apply for transportation grants from the @USDOT. Thank you for recognizing the importance of our rural transportation networks! https://t.co/Zk8UaMF5Gh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

I've personally contacted state & federal authorities to get to the bottom of this. The COVID-19 shutdown has had a crushing impact on our economy & working families. We need to help the folks who need it. But we need common sense oversight in how funds are distributed. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

In recent weeks I was mailed an $8,800 unemployment debit card from the State of Illinois & a $6,500 unemployment debit card from the State of California. I've never filed for unemployment benefits & the only time I've spent in California was in the Marine Corps 40 yrs ago. (1/2) https://t.co/Imy2SSnJm2 — PolitiTweet.org
