The Senate should pass my bipartisan amendment with @SenBillCassidy to support domestic PPE manufacturers who stepped up in response to COVID-19. Our PPE in America Act will ensure our health care heroes do not face shortages of masks, gowns & gloves again.https://t.co/3SjuzLuSGp
In 1990, the U.S. represented 37% of global manufacturing capacity. Today, only 12% of semiconductors are manufactured in the United States. That needs to change.
Visited @mHUBChicago today to discuss a shortage of semiconductor chips that is impacting the automotive industry, including assembly plants in Chicago and Belvidere.
Senate Republicans are doing everything they can to put the United States on track for a solid second place finish. If we want to lead the world in the 21st century, we can’t be pinching pennies.
Internet access keeps kids connected to school, patients connected to doctors, & families connected to each other. I'm joining my Senate colleagues to call on @USDA, @HUDgov, & @FCC to use a collaborative approach to improve broadband connectivity & promote the Lifeline program.
I support President Biden’s administrative actions, including a rule to help stop the proliferation of untraceable ghost guns. We must also address the root causes of gun violence, including trauma, and fund community violence intervention programs.
The Tiananmen Square Massacre cannot be erased from history, despite the desperate efforts of the Chinese Communist Party. The people of China and Hong Kong deserve the same rights and freedoms as the rest of the free world. https://t.co/OYezOCQi0j
A federal judge threw out a national eviction moratorium, saying the Covid-19 pandemic-relief measure exceeded the powers of the CDC https://t.co/9dDbgNVSz1
In other words, a foreign worker who came here on *temporary* H-1B visa that’s good for 3 yrs & can be extended for another 3 yrs for a total of 6 yrs, could now stay past the 6 yrs limit if they simply have an approved green card petition even when there are no GCs available.
My bill would require the EPA to prohibit the discharge of pellets and other pre-production plastic into waterways from facilities that make, use, package, or transport pellets. https://t.co/99KGuUDNZ0
Proud to stand with @shedd_aquarium & @A4GL at Lake Michigan today to introduce the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act – an important step in addressing the nearly 22 million tons of plastic that ends up in the Great Lakes each year.
765,000 Illinoisans spend more than 30% of their income on rent. Any infrastructure plan must include safe and affordable housing, which is why the President is proposing investing more than $200 billion to increase the housing supply and address the affordable housing crisis.
Trump's efforts to label what is happening in major cities as "riots" speaks at least somewhat to his desperation, politically speaking, at the moment

Democrats don’t want you to see this.
They’re scared that I’m exposing what life is like in Democrat run cities.
That’s why I’m running for Congress
Because All Black Lives Matter
Baltimore Matters
And black people don’t have to vote Democrat
Help us win https://t.co/CSOjc9aQlS
I agree - erasing history is creepy. But I lost. Works of art are being destroyed. Great men are slandered for being alive when people owned slaves.
Elihu Yale was a SLAVE TRADER.
All we're asking is for Yale to change its name.
