This sham of a process by Senate Republicans was infuriating, awful and illegitimate. My heart sinks thinking of all the real progress Amy Coney Barrett could roll back during her lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. But our fight is far from over. https://t.co/7I7Js8zXrW

For millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions. For COVID survivors. For seniors. For families like mine made possible by IVF. For Americans with disabilities. For LGBQT+ Americans. For women. For our planet. I voted no.

To wear the uniform of this nation is one of the greatest privileges you could ever have. And Donald Trump—someone who doesn't value our Constitution or all the things American stands for—could never understand that. https://t.co/3yCi9BmxfG

The #COVID19 pandemic killed more than 178,000 Americans in a matter of months. This deadly virus continues spreading throughout the country, killing Americans every day. Donald Trump’s response? Bully @CDCgov to reduce diagnostic testing.

Yesterday we celebrated 30 years of the ADA & today Senate Republicans unveiled a #COVID19 proposal that would gut disability rights at a time when these protections are needed as much as ever. This is nothing less than a blatant attack on the disability community. My statement: https://t.co/4SVB3u99KJ

Health workers are our front line of defense against #COVID19—selflessly risking their own health & safety. It's a no-brainer that we should take care of those who take care of us, which is why I intro'd the Pandemic Heroes Compensation Act.

The #COVID19 pandemic has hit small businesses the hardest, including live event venues—the backbone of the rich arts scene in IL & across the US. We need bipartisan, long-term financing solutions like @SenBennett's RESTART Act to keep these businesses running.

Our troops deserve to know what the Trump Administration is doing to protect them and why Donald Trump failed to take action in the first place. I’m demanding a U.S. Armed Services Committee hearing to get to the bottom of #BountyGate.

Following a letter sent by me and my colleagues, @EsperDoD signed a revised policy directing @USCG families be afforded the same priority level as their DoD counterparts at moisture childcare facilities.

Proud to join @SenatorDurbin to announce more than $108 million in federal support that helps @GovPritzker support Illinois students and schools in need right now. Read more here: https://t.co/WR2hzeVTX1

Illinois had its deadliest weekend from the #COVID19 pandemic & we need more tests, more contact tracing, more ventilators & more #PPE. We aren't getting it. It's basically criminal what Trump is doing when it comes to failing the provide the resources all of our states need. https://t.co/MbgIIKatEV

Democrats also refuse to leave the healthcare heroes of the #COVID19 pandemic, or smaller hospitals on the verge of collapse, behind. That’s what we’re fighting for here. Without them, we’re all at risk. 4/5

…but funding must go to community lenders that will get dollars to the #SmallBusinesses that need it most but have been left behind by the big banks. We want to work across the aisle, but Republicans continue to block efforts to help those on the front lines of this crisis. 3/5

Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans AND the Trump administration all support adding an additional $250 billion to the @SBAgov’s #PaycheckProtectionProgram. There is *no* debate over helping small businesses... 2/5

Every day, every hour, every minute, heroic frontline healthcare workers—and the legion of support staff that enable them—are risking their health&lives while responding to the deadly #COVID19 pandemic. Congress *must* prioritize delivering support to these brave heroes ASAP. 1/5

I implore Senate GOP Leadership to join us&work together to provide urgently-needed emergency $ to our nation’s hospitals, healthcare providers&state+local gov'ts in the next deal. They must abandon “take it or leave” tactics&embrace bipartisan solutions for the public good. 5/5

It should not take something as dangerous as #COVID19 to remind us that we must work to ensure healthcare is equitable for every single American.

Black residents make up 70% of #COVID19 deaths in Chicago. That’s disturbing—and unacceptable. As the stats come in, they highlight what many vulnerable people already know: in a nation as great as this one, there's still a large & deadly health disparity for black Americans. QT @WBEZ: Health experts say the finding is “upsetting, but not surprising.” https://t.co/Jd1pFAT4fr)

Our Community Health Centers are on the front lines of the fight against #COVID19, so I’m proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing more than $52m in federal funding so these health centers can keep serving Illinois throughout this crisis. https://t.co/JtojytZXAg

This man did not need to die. Americans are rightfully scared right now&while nobody should be self-medicating or trying to concoct their own pharmacy drugs at home, Trump must stop spreading misinformation as well. We desperately needs honest&competent leaders during this crisis

Anti-malaria drugs ARE CURRENTLY NOT PROVEN TO TREAT OR PREVENT #COVID19. We have to give doctors, public health experts & researchers the resources & time to do their jobs. I cannot stress this enough: PLEASE listen to doctors and public health experts!

Telling people they don’t need to social distance to soon would be a mistake that *will* cost Americans their lives. Trump should listen to public health experts, not his corporate billionaire buddies.

They deserve our thanks and our support, and I’ll keep working to make sure we do everything we can to keep them safe from #COVID19 as they continue working during this crisis.
