I joined a bipartisan group of veteran members of Congress to wash the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. In a time of such partisan rhetoric in DC, I'm grateful we could come together & honor the fallen. The memorial is a reminder of the sacrifice Americans gave on the battlefield. https://t.co/62OJFB8Tec — PolitiTweet.org

It’s always great to meet with constituents when they are in Washington. Yesterday, Jarrett and Laurie Nehring from Murphysboro were in town with @farmcreditIL, and stopped by my office to talk about the work I’m doing for Southern Illinois farmers as a member of @HouseAgGOP. https://t.co/OSHD9q6651 — PolitiTweet.org

During votes, we had a moment of silence in honor of fallen Capitol Police Officer Jacob Chestnut & Detective John Gibson, who lost their lives defending the US Capitol from an armed gunman in 1998. We will never forget them & thank the Capitol Police who keep us safe every day. https://t.co/5C4fyGdyKJ — PolitiTweet.org

Southern Illinois is home to one of American history’s great civilizations, Cahokia. Today, more than 70 earth mounds still stand. I spoke on the House floor about my bill to make Cahokia Mounds a national park so that we can preserve this piece of history for future generations. https://t.co/8J44c34EAg — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the Senate came together to permanently reauthorize the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund with a bipartisan vote of 97-2. I am honored to have cosponsored and voted for this bill in the House. Now, it's off to @POTUS's desk for his signature. https://t.co/nNrW0l2Lie — PolitiTweet.org

For years, we’ve warned that the Len Small Levee breach was a navigation hazard. Sadly, recent floods proved us right. To fix the levee, we must 1st fix the law. I introduced a bill w/Rep. Finkenauer to close a gap in the law that's stalled repair efforts. https://t.co/ZYD9nf0xQd https://t.co/oH1NBlDLAJ — PolitiTweet.org

Belleville native Doris Lyke turns 100 this year & returned home to celebrate last week. Doris lived through consequential & challenging times in our history. With a smile on her face, she never complained & always persevered. Happy early birthday Doris! https://t.co/KPz9B8eeNf — PolitiTweet.org

What a heartwarming moment between a mother returning from overseas and her family. I am happy to see Sgt. Pryse home safe and reunite with her loved ones. You make O’Fallon and the rest of the country proud! https://t.co/9V251yagK7 — PolitiTweet.org

After a confusing June 2019 Acreage Report, I joined members of the Illinois delegation in sending a letter to @USDA @SecretarySonny asking for clarification about why the report did not coincide with expected growing numbers. Read out letter here ↓https://t.co/vPHEJqWlMb — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the Egyptian Board of Realtors for inviting me to speak at your meeting last night! We discussed recent flooding, our booming economy, and I gave an update on the work I’m doing in DC, like repealing the “Cadillac Tax.” https://t.co/kIQDpgN9tR — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I met w/ National Corn Growers Association Board's Kenny Hartman from Waterloo & FFA students to discuss trade, the tough conditions our farmers face & next steps to provide them w/ relief.

The Cadillac Tax, Obamacare's 40% tax on some employer-sponsored health insurance plans, undermines private health insurance & means costlier care for families. Proud to cosponsor & vote for the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act to repeal it. https://t.co/R7YggxvLP0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

Did you know that July is National Park and Recreation Month? I’m proud to be working with @HLCSWIL and local leaders in Southern Illinois on legislation to make @CahokiaMounds a national park. Stay tuned for more tomorrow. https://t.co/x2xv3l6TQF — PolitiTweet.org

The #USMCA is a big step forward that will put Illinois workers on an even playing field with more jobs, wider markets, and accelerated economic growth. Nancy Pelosi needs to bring #USMCA up for a vote now. https://t.co/x4hdRkvLVj — PolitiTweet.org

I proudly voted for the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Act. Our heroic first responders ran toward danger, not thinking about themselves. They were doing their jobs & saving lives. We must ensure they have the resources they need to fight serious illnesses. https://t.co/Hroh8ivn8z — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Bost @RepBost

I'm back in DC after the July 4th holiday. I've thought about the debate over the 13-star #BetsyRossFlag & what it represents - freedom, independence & courage. I’ll introduce a resolution this week to honor the legacy of this flag & the uniquely American spirit it embodies. https://t.co/fRZcSeicSc — PolitiTweet.org
