That stuff has more in common with cheese and crackers than it does with real pizza.
Deep dish pizza. twitter.com/chrismurphyct/…

Every Illinois mother deserves an award for the work they do every day for families across our state. Today, I got to meet one of the best: Mary Beth, from Rochester, who was selected by @americanmothers as the Illinois mother of the year for her work in the community. pic.twitter.com/GmpIl1VHgW

Here’s map of the #coalash ponds in Illinois. We have to push the EPA to #protectclean water and not remove protections. prairierivers.org/coalashmap/

The @EPA is trying to gut protections against dirty #coalash waste. Utilities must continue to test the water near their toxic coal ash dumps to make sure hazardous chemicals don't leak into drinking water. Tell the EPA to #protectcleanwater: sc.org/2Hb4Hp6

.@EPAScottPruitt has done the industry's bidding since his first day in office. Today, Illinoisans are among those testifying against his planned rollbacks on clean water protections against #coalash. RT to #protectcleanwater!

The FDA should immediately use its existing authority to remove any JUUL flavors—like their kid-popular mango flavor—that are currently on the market in violation of regulations.

By taking one look at a JUUL advertisement, it’s abundantly clear they have dusted off Big Tobacco’s old marketing playbook and are obviously trying to market their products to our children and teens. I’m pleased the FDA agrees with me that we have to do more. twitter.com/CNBC/status/98…

Join me and @NatlParkService in celebrating #NationalParkWeek! Illinois is proud to be home of Pullman National Monument, a historic community and urban landmark on Chicago’s Southside representing a legacy of labor and civil rights.

Voting against Pompeo is not obstructing anything. We've actually moved very quickly on our constitutional obligation to vote on nominees, but of 172 Senate-confirmed positions at State & USAID, the Admin hasn't bothered to nominate anyone for 77 of those. For example... pic.twitter.com/jOxOPXrgmt

As high school seniors make decisions on their educational futures, they have to know the risks associated with #4profit colleges. I'm asking our educators to help inform students now so they don't end up with a lifetime of student debt and despair: durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

Health insurance that doesn’t cover prescription drug costs, maternity care, or basic health screenings? That doesn’t accept people with pre-ex conditions? And leads to higher costs for older Americans? Those are #JunkPlans – higher costs, worse coverage, and discrimination.

FCC Chair @AjitPaiFCC should read this story as he considers the mega-merger between Sinclair and Tribune. Sinclair’s actions in local television newsrooms demonstrate how troubling it could be to give them access to over 72% of American households. twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/s…

The allegations presented by @60Minutes about Allegiant Air's safety record raise serious questions. The airline services six Illinois locations, and Illinoisans deserve answers. @SenDuckworth and I wrote to Allegiant’s CEO. Read the letter here: pic.twitter.com/LRMYi3OfNp
