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. QT @NewsHour: A bill passed by Hungary’s parliament indefinitely grants Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government extraordinary po… https://t.co/AsAyKf2jwN)
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.
