Rather than fight back against Russian threats on US troops, the President has neglected his duty to our military as Commander-in-Chief. His inaction & silence SHOW HE IS more concerned with the Kremlin's approval than bounties on the lives of our soldiers.
When the Senate returns to Washington next week, we need make a deal to help small businesses and the millions of jobless Americans. Senator McConnell should not send us home again until we do. https://t.co/MXDLeiPtuN
President Trump’s “vote twice” advice reflects either his ignorance of how America votes or a willful effort to create uncertainty about the upcoming election. Or both.
America needs lawyers & judges who are committed to justice & the rule of law to help steer us safely through these turbulent times. Good to talk to @AppLawAssoc lawyers today, especially about the importance of making pro bono and legal aid services available for those in need.
Climate change is an existential threat to life as we know it. I'm proud to support @SenDemsClimate #CaseForClimateAction—a roadmap for big & bold solutions to the most important challenge of our lifetimes. You can read more about our plan here: https://t.co/By0YncY1mp
Postmaster General DeJoy needs to do more than simply suspending the harmful changes he’s made at @USPS. Mail delivery is already delayed & the damage has been done. DeJoy needs to permanently rescind his harmful policies immediately. #DontMessWithUSPS
@Illinois_Alama is bringing this test to labs across the state. And not far away, imagine mobile labs pulling into hot spots to collect saliva samples & identify positive #COVID19 patients in hours. This test is a game changer. Congrats to the University of Illinois researchers.
Looking forward to hearing PMG DeJoy's explanation for his actions at @USPS. This cannot be the end of the Senate’s efforts to hold this Administration accountable for their attempt to dismantle USPS for political purposes. https://t.co/FmgiitscVN
Yeaterday was the 85th anniversary of Social Security, an earned bedrock program that millions rely on. The President’s version of celebrating is to undermine the program via his recent executive order. Democrats stand committed to protecting this promise of a secure retirement.
Struggling state governments can’t afford to shoulder the burden for enhanced unemployment benefits. The President’s executive order is not an adequate substitute for the comprehensive #COVID19 relief that is being held up by @SenateGOP. https://t.co/w4zgwGihIZ
Spoke today w/Venezuelans in IL & across the US about efforts to designate Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status. My Democratic colleagues and I will keep fighting for this legislation until it is the law of the land. https://t.co/FGTNo6AgkM
President Trump wants to focus the blame on China because he wants to divert attention from his own failures in the US. We have 5% of the world’s population & 25% of the #COVID19 cases. The President alone is to blame for his failures in containing this virus within the US. https://t.co/7rmM3WWtAa
There’s no good excuse for USCIS to be ramping up naturalization fees right now. I strongly oppose this decision and will do everything I can to bring these fees back down as soon as possible. https://t.co/gMyMUiJ4Jh
It didn’t have to be this way. President Trump has failed the American people. He refuses responsibility and promotes quack cures to distract from his own shortcomings. This Presidency will be remembered as a tragic, national disgrace QT @washingtonpost: U.S. reports 1,400 coronavirus deaths in a day — about one per minute. Live updates: https://t.co/zICdZr89iV)

United States of America: ✅5% of the world’s population ✅25% of the world’s #COVID19 infections Keep peddling worthless medical advice, Mr. President.
Going to the Senate floor with @SenDavidPerdue to call for our Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act to be included in the next #COVID19 relief package. Our bipartisan bill will address the shortage of doctors & nurses in our nation’s hospitals. Watch live h https://t.co/Pgegq7mf8v
Today @SenatorBaldwin, @SenTinaSmith, @RepCheri, & I introduced bicameral legislation to address this nationwide shortage of early childhood and K-12 teachers that disproportionately impacts students from low-income backgrounds and students of color. https://t.co/FHziFfXiSP
We have a teaching crisis in communities across the country that pays our educators too little & incentivizes high quality & experienced educators to work in more affluent areas. The negative impact on students in Black & Brown neighborhoods & low-income communities is drastic.
.@SenDuckworth and I will keep working to ensure Illinois has all the resources it needs to address this ongoing crisis.
