1/6 of our nation’s health care workforce are immigrants. I’m going to the Senate floor today to share the story of one of these #ImmigrantHealthHeroes – Javier Quiroz Castro - a #Dreamer & nurse in Houston, TX. https://t.co/ukAF8twKyQ

Going to the Senate floor this morning to ask for immediate passage of my resolution calling on the U.S. to re-join global efforts to find a #COVID19 vaccine. We cannot afford to petulantly isolate ourselves from this effort, it will waste time & cost live https://t.co/0wZ3yq7MhU
Monitoring situation at JBS pork plant in Beardstown, another meat processing plant in IL to report #COVID19 infections. The President’s executive order forcing these plants to stay open ignores the health and safety of these workers. https://t.co/cjofaJe1iQ

Too many of these defrauded student borrowers are unable to participate in our economy or complete their education because of ruinous credit & worthless debt. Congress acting to expedite their discharges & ensure full relief is commonsense during this unprecedented crisis.
Our Coronavirus Emergency Borrower Defense Act will cover borrowers who have been defrauded according to findings by the Dept. of Education & State attorney general group applications, & who have been waiting years for the relief to which they are legally entitled.
Today, I am joining with @SenSherrodBrown, @RepMarkTakano, @SenWarren, & @RepJayapal to announce a plan to grant full student loan discharges to three specific emergency categories of defrauded student borrowers in the next #COVID19 relief package. https://t.co/V7MOfSfvu7

Glad to see Cengage & McGraw call off their plans for a merger. Textbook prices are already too high – and this merger could have made a bad situation worse for students across the country. QT @SenatorDurbin: Cengage and McGraw-Hill are the second and third largest textbook companies in the country, and now they’re looking… https://t.co/X4V3Yi0t2d)

This is great news for the more than 138,000 Illinoisans with FFEL or private student loans. Thanks to @GovPritzker’s hard work, relief is on the way.
I supported the inclusion of FFEL, along with federal Direct student loans, in the relief provided by the CARES Act. https://t.co/TYM3ayDgzG
Joined @SenDuckworth, @RepCheri, & @SecArmy for a tour of @Arsenal_Island to see firsthand how the Arsenal is assisting efforts to produce ventilators & PPE for hospitals & health care workers. RIA has always answered the nation’s call, & what we saw today was no different.
.@EPA must do a better job of communicating the potential health risks of ethylene oxide emissions to at-risk communities. Joining @SenDuckworth, @SenCarper, @RepBillFoster, & @RepSchneider in calling on EPA to uphold its mission to protect public health. https://t.co/8DuniLAcad
.@SenDuckworth & I spoke with @USArmy Sec. McCarthy today to thank him for his help setting up facilities in IL & providing manpower in Chicago to help test and treat Illinoisans, and to discuss the potential utilization of @Arsenal_Island to aid in production efforts.
More than 27,000 #DACA recipients work on the frontline of our fight against #COVID19 as health care workers & first responders. They shouldn’t have to worry about their future in the country they grew up in while risking their health & well-being to help others. #HomeIsHere QT @PostVideo: These DACA recipients are fighting coronavirus, even as they fight to stay in the country https://t.co/bjtl9Rp63v)
I will be joining @MitchellReports on @MSNBC shortly to discuss the latest updates in our fight against #COVID19. Make sure you tune in.
Viktor Orban is an authoritarian ruler w/ troubling, anti-democratic past. His decision to use #COVID19 as excuse to grab power does not bode well for future of Hungary's democracy. I will continue pressing our Amb to do more to uphold American democratic values w/ Organ regime.

The United States cannot let foreign bad actors sabotage our ability to share accurate & timely information on the coronavirus pandemic with the American people. @SecPompeo must address this problem. https://t.co/E7lj1wnT4h
Beyond the State’s ongoing response efforts, we need federal assistance to push back against the pandemic & the unprecedented economic burden it places on Illinoisans. Mr. President, Illinois needs a major disaster declaration.
Today @SenDuckworth & I urged the President to approve @GovPritzker's request for a major disaster declaration for Illinois due to the severity of this ongoing public health crisis. The pandemic's magnitude reaches beyond the capabilities of state & local governments. https://t.co/Ptx5adUIbV
I’ll be on @CNNnewsroom soon to discuss coronavirus and our efforts to pass legislation in the Senate to protect America’s working families, small businesses, and health care workers on the frontlines during this public health emergency. Make sure you tune in.
The Trump Administration seems to sink to a new low each and every day. It’s disgraceful that the President is allowing Native American burial sites to be destroyed like this, all in order to build his useless border wall. https://t.co/SpaZRaURUI
If we want to leave our kids & grandkids a livable planet, we must have the determination to seriously reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proud to stand with @SenDuckworth, @SenatorCarper, & 30 of my @SenateDems colleagues to introduce the Clean Economy Act today.
The Clean Economy Act calls for a bold strategy to address climate change by setting an aggressive, yet achievable, path for the U.S. to meet net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by no later than 2050. Read more about our call for climate action here: https://t.co/icYFCW3n4p
Last week I visited the newly renovated and expanded @UIHealth Customer Care Center at @ChiLighthouse, where veterans and people with disabilities work to provide customer service to UI Health callers. https://t.co/gcVQZQU30p
Transgender migrants & asylum seekers are uniquely vulnerable while in immigration detention centers. I’m joining @PattyMurray, @SenFeinstein, and others in demanding to know if ICE is taking the necessary steps to accommodate transgender migrants in their custody. https://t.co/vIjRXFdEVe
During the meeting, Mr. Anderson committed to implementing much needed changes to its accessibility policies. It’s imperative Amtrak updates its policies to ensure that Americans with disabilities are treated fairly & are able to access Amtrak trains w/out facing discrimination.
After @Amtrak mistakenly charged a group of wheelchair advocates $25k to travel from Chicago to Bloomington-Normal, @SenDuckworth & I met with Amtrak CEO Richard Anderson today to express our disappointment & urge him to improve Amtrak’s disability and accessibility policies.
A fair trial involves evidence. Evidence involves documents and witnesses. I hope that enough Republican Senators will understand: history will find you. https://t.co/YIRVTG5NVE
As Honduras struggles with challenging levels of criminal impunity, U.S. support can make a difference. Today @SenatorMenendez, @marcorubio, @SenLeahy, @timkaine, and I wrote the Trump Admin., to express our support for an extension of the anti-corruption efforts of MACCIH. https://t.co/zJxjCpBbHN
Congratulations to Urbana's own Zena Cardman on graduating with @NASA's first class of #Artemis generation astronauts!

Today’s announcement by @SecretaryCarson is a step backwards. HUD’s proposed rule is a frontal assault on the Fair Housing Act and civil rights. We need federal housing policies that end discrimination and ensure equal opportunity for all. https://t.co/FFNm4tjaHa

The wildfires raging across Australia are a devastating view into the future of our planet if we aren’t able to adequately address climate change soon.

For months, @SenDuckworth & I have urged the EPA to test for ethylene oxide at facilities like Medline in Waukegan. The @CDCgov data showing higher levels of ethylene oxide in blood samples nearby are deeply troubling. @EPA needs to wake up & protect the health of Illinoisans. QT @chicagotribune: People living near Medline Industries in north suburban Waukegan had higher levels of the cancer-causing chemical e… https://t.co/awuXPuCU3h)
A 5th Illinoisan has died from a lung illness related to vaping. This is a full blown public health crisis, but the President and his FDA are doing nothing to address the problem. That must change soon. Lives are at stake. https://t.co/QuURHdw8v0
The @NatlParkService & Chicago community have worked hard to rehabilitate historic structures in the Pullman neighborhood. My bill with @SenDuckworth, the Pullman National Historic Park Act, would ensure NPS continues to preserve this area's unique history.https://t.co/EdQNwPdzRJ
Yesterday I joined my @SenateAgDems @SenStabenow, @SenTinaSmith, @AmyKlobuchar to oppose funding language used by the Trump EPA to allow Big Oil to wreck ethanol and biodiesel. https://t.co/rK0RL3WenV
...cost of prescription drugs, these bills invest in Illinois’ future and fund critical functions & programs within our government. I will continue working to bring home federal dollars important to Illinois. You can read more about this funding here: https://t.co/d33Q4XdEVf
