RT @RepCasten: As a white man, I will never fully understand the pain black Americans are feeling and have felt for generations. (1/7)

Today at 2:45 pm CST, I hope you will join me in observing a moment of silence for #8minutesand46seconds organized by @NAACP. If you can, please step away from your day, and take this time to honor the life of George Floyd and to recommit to making a change. #WeAreDoneDying https://t.co/zzjuR4Q7JJ

So while I will never fully understand, I stand with black Americans across this country demanding change. (7/7) #BlackLivesMatter

I understand we must act now to address the root causes of inequities & reform our justice system so it works for every American. We must take this moment $ transform it into effective action to address racism, to promote justice & to ensure equal protection under the law. 6/7

For too long, injustices against people of color have persisted & the brutal murders of George Floyd & Breonna Taylor are just the latest in our long national history of oppression—from slavery to Jim Crow,to the denial of the right to vote,to the disparities exposed by #COVID19.

I understand that what happened to George Floyd was not an anomaly. His death was part of a pattern—years and years of police brutality and systematic oppression. (4/7)

But what I do understand, is that those demonstrating are showing us the depth of the pain across our country from the years of systemic racism at every level of society and our failure to provide equal justice before the law.

As a white man, I will never fully understand the pain black Americans are feeling and have felt for generations.

We need a President in this moment who will calm us, will empathize and empathize. We do not have one, and I am scared. But it is on all of us to step into that void of leadership. Model the behavior you expect from others right now. Do not stoop to his level.

I wear a mask for: Our health care & frontline heroes Our scientists, researchers, & public health officials. the 100,000+ Americans killed by #COVID19 to date the countless more lives whose survival will come down to whether each us does what is right. https://t.co/fncbAp686J

While we might not be physically present to honor our fallen servicemembers this #MemorialDay, we must remember to honor their bravery, courage, and service to our country — and recommit to making sure our veterans and their families are taken care of. https://t.co/eeogqJG5f4

Thank you @ILARNGRRB and @IDPH for your hard work and leadership. Only by providing free and readily available #coronavirus testing, will we be able to #StopTheSpread and safely begin to reopen. https://t.co/Gq9Hcpy7Re

Today, I had the opportunity to speak at Connelly Park in Lisle, Illinois to help announce @Stonyfield’s commitment to operate four parks in the area completely organically. Operating parks like this provides safe places for families to play & helps combat #ClimateChange. https://t.co/Mm5e71uMge

Not only does the #GOPTaxLaw hurt families in our communities by instating a marriage penalty and capping #SALT deduction at $10,000 but it also adds a trillion dollars to the #NationalDebt. There’s no question this law has to go, so we can lessen the burden on #IL taxpayers.

Yesterday, as part of @ClimateCrisis’ first field hearing in Colorado to better understand the state’s efforts to transition to #CleanEnergy. @USRepKCastor, @RepJoeNeguse, @RepGarretGraves, @RepBuddyCarter, and I toured @NREL’s Wind Technology Center.

It was great to see firsthand the strides @NREL is making on developing Wind Technology, as it’s one of the key energy sources needed to combat the #ClimateCrisis. P.S. Wind Turbine Blades Are HUGE! https://t.co/Bt6QBj3ejG

The legislation would require the @usedgov to create a common loan servicing manual to ensure that no matter who services their student loans, borrowers receive the same basic quality of service. Read more about our bill here: https://t.co/CJtfO9yadI https://t.co/ALDaUPPPVT

The huge amount of student loan debt the American public faces not only hurts individuals but it also hurts our economy as a whole because it restricts people’s purchasing. I strongly believe everyone should be about to pay their debt off quickly.

Last week, @RepSchrier, @RepHorn, @RepAllred, and I introduced the Better Service to Borrowers Act.

Another senseless shooting at a place of worship. I’m heartbroken for the Chabad of Poway community on this final day of Passover - just 6 months after the Tree of Life shooting. We must condemn all forms of bigotry and hatred. I stand with Poway and San Diego County

...Unfortunately, this laissez-faire approach to the EPA’s core mission has also had a direct impact on my constituents in Illinois’ 6th District." Today I met w/ @EPA Region 5 Administrator Stepp to urge the agency to fulfill its mission to ensure the safety of our communities.

63 years ago, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and nearly 100 other Americans protested the segregated bus system. Their courage should continue to inspire us to fight for equality every day. #BlackHistoryMonth #MontgomeryBusBoycott
