Once again, Senate Republicans turned their backs on mericans with pre-existing conditions today. But @SenateDems are committed to protecting these individuals. I’m proud to support @SenatorBaldwin’s #NoJunkPlans Act to #ProtectPreExistingConditions.

He gathered warring Senators for his annual Georgia bbq lunch and our differences disappeared slathered in sauce. He showed inspiring courage fighting Parkinson’s, often moving his broken body on the Senate floor by sheer force of will. He is one of our best and I will miss him.

@SenatorIsakson’s departure from the Senate is the loss of a friend and a brave, constructive voice America desperately needs. Johnny stepped up for sensible immigration reform and defied the fire breathers and haters in his own party. I sent him a series of deserved fan letters.

Our intelligence agencies are spending millions of dollars to stop the Russians from making a mockery of the 2020 election.

While Ed Sec. Betsy DeVos continues to coddle for-profit colleges, students are being buried in debt and taxpayers end up holding the bag. Thanks to @ILAttyGeneral Madigan for fighting for students. https://t.co/IWkzdbemQV
