I voted to pass the bipartisan #CARESAct & create the #PaycheckProtectionProgram (PPP) to provide nearly $350 BILLION in forgivable loans to help #SmallBusinesses pay employees during the #COVID19 pandemic. PPP Info & application form are now online: home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/… (1/5)
Illinois #SmallBusiness & sole proprietorships can begin applying for PPP loans from approved lenders THIS FRIDAY (4/3). Independent contractors & the self-employed can begin on 4/10. Get a head start on filling out the online application form here: home.treasury.gov/system/files/1… (2/5)
Any #PaycheckProtectionProgram loans spent over the 8 week period after receiving the loan will be forgiven *if* spent on maintaining your staff & payroll; mortgage interest; and rent & utility payments. Loan $ spent on *other* costs must be paid back in 2 years. (3/5)
The #PaycheckProtectionProgram is open until June 30, 2020 – but I *strongly* encourage Illinois #SmallBusiness to apply ASAP because approved lenders will need time to process loans and demand will be high for the #PPP program. (4/5)
The full fact-sheet for a potential borrower interested in applying for a #PayCheckProtectionProgram loan is available online: home.treasury.gov/system/files/1… (5/5)

“There’s nobody more military than me” says a 68-year-old man who could’ve volunteered but never served a single day in uniform while his country fought two of its longest wars in history.

Nurses in Vietnam often faced not only intense demands for patient care but also the threat of attacks on close-by military facilities and even the hospitals themselves. (B.J.

Wondering if you're eligible for the second half of the American Rescue Plan's expanded Child Tax Credit? Unsure what the expanded Child Tax Credit is?

Here’s a quick breakdown of what it is, how to see if you're eligible and everything you need to know ahead of Tax Day🧵
2/7: First, what is the expanded Child Tax Credit?

Thanks to the hard work of Democrats, the American Rescue Plan expanded the Child Tax Credit to provide eligible families up to $3,600 for kids up to age 5—and $3,000 for kids ages 6-17—to help support them through the pandemic.
3/7: In addition to the Child Tax Credit being expanded, the American Rescue Plan allowed more families to be eligible than ever before by ending the minimum income requirement—thanks to Democrats.

*30 million families* were eligible for this tax cut.

Today is my Alive Day, the 17th anniversary of the day I probably should’ve died in a dusty field in Iraq after our Blackhawk was shot out of the sky—but didn’t. Photo of U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth and her crew’s Black
When that RPG tore through the cockpit of the helicopter I was co-piloting, it took my legs, partial use of my right arm and nearly my life. I wouldn’t have lasted the hour if it weren’t for my buddies who refused to leave me behind.
My buddies thought I was dead—I was quite literally in pieces.

They risked their own lives to bring my body back to my family.

From the moment I woke up in Walter Reed 11 days later, I vowed to find a way to repay them as well as all those who sacrifice so much for our nation.

Unreal. I can’t believe that the same brave servicemembers we’ve been asking to protect our Capitol and our Constitution these last two weeks would be unceremoniously ordered to vacate the building. I am demanding answers ASAP. They can use my office.
I meant ASAP when I said it. Just made a number of calls and have been informed Capitol Police have apologized to the Guardsmen and they will be allowed back into the complex tonight. I’ll keep checking to make sure they are.
Update: Just received text from Guard Commander: the last Guardsmen will clear the garage by 2330 tonight.

It has been painful—downright unbearable—to watch this president and his enablers try to systematically tear down our democracy with falsehoods and unfounded, illogical conspiracies.
Make no mistake—what Trump and his team are doing, all of the baseless attacks and conspiracy theories, will have long-lasting, tragic impacts on our country. They're sowing doubt in millions of Americans' minds that this wasn't a fair or secure election, when we know it was.
I'm urging—no, begging—my Republican colleagues to finally say "enough." Enough of this nonsense.
 
The margins in battleground states, including those run by Republicans, are larger than Trump’s own margins were in 2016—which he describes as a “landslide.”

I wouldn't be where I am today without my teachers.

This #AmericanEducationWeek and throughout COVID-19, I see that same selfless kindness in our educators, social workers, support staff and parents who are working overtime to help students navigate online learning.
When I was in high school, my family relied on food stamps. But sometimes, those food stamps wouldn't last through the week.

Luckily for me, sometimes my English teacher would keep a bunch of us after school—and after a while he’d reach into his own pockets and say:
“Aw kids, I’m so sorry I kept you working here so late. Here’s $10, go to Taco Bell, it’s 2 for 99 cents—get something to eat before you go home.”

As teenagers, we didn't see it then. But I do now. With his teacher's salary, he was feeding the poorest of us & helping us get by.
