What the bipartisan infrastructure deal could mean for Illinois: ✔cleaner drinking water & wastewater systems, thanks to my provisions ✔$18bil in federal funding ✔a chance to help improve the lives of Illinoisans for generations Proud to have helped move it closer to reality. https://t.co/0SszLPpoKN

With the American Rescue Plan, Democrats took action to address the maternal health crisis and close the postpartum coverage gap by creating a new state plan option under Medicaid. Now, @CMSgov must take action and implement the program immediately. Lives are at stake. https://t.co/bJaBV3Amu3

Six months after the insurrection, the U. S. Capitol Police faces a depleted budget. The National Guard, if it’s not reimbursed in the next few days, won’t be able to complete this year's fourth quarter trainings. We have an obligation to ensure that doesn’t happen. https://t.co/pb7N8at0wv

As much as ever, now is time to send one strong, unified message that rejects anti-Asian hate and celebrates the resilience, culture and endless contributions of the AAPI community. #APAHM https://t.co/OeMZ46ZSCk

When Illinoisan Hazel Johnson realized her community was a dumping ground for toxic waste, she refused to be silent. Decades later, I'm proud to keep up her legacy for environmental justice as a co-founder of the @EJCaucus. This #EarthDay and year-round, be like Hazel Johnson.

HAPPENING SOON: The violence and discrimination terrorizing Asian Americans across the country must end. Join AAPI and Black faith leaders and me as we begin an important conversation on the spike in anti-Asian hate crimes. #StopAsianHate Tune in: https://t.co/7TX45f6iRX https://t.co/dReshOxn3L

“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.” — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Shots in arms. That's what's going to get us to the other side of this pandemic. By passing the American Rescue Plan, $20 billion would be invested in a national COVID-19 vaccination program so our neighbors and family can finally receive the vaccine against this deadly virus.

47 of my Republican colleagues chose to ignore the mountain of evidence and acquit a president of the United States who incited a violent insurrection to overturn a free and fair election. I hope they’re ready to live with themselves — and the damage done to our democracy.

#OTD in 1920, the Negro National League was born—a place where Black and Latinx Americans could play the sport they loved after being turned away by the MLB simply because of the color of their skin.
