I believe in the brains and brawn of Illinois’ workers and researchers. I believe they can lead the world, as they have over and over again. Proud to have helped pass the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act today. I urge the House to pass it soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans love to bring up the notion of “catch & release” when it comes to our southern border. But data from a decade+ shows that 83% of non-detained immigrants attended every single one of their court hearings. Catch & release is a GOP fever dream—it's time we put it to bed. https://t.co/P19YfPUVU1 — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of women across this country who are doing the same jobs as their male colleagues are being paid less for the same work. The #PaycheckFairness Act would be an important step toward closing the wage gap. Any Senator who cares about #EqualPay should support this bill. https://t.co/3sCUkmwiBR — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate just confirmed Pres. Biden's first judicial nominees, Julien Neals & Regina Rodriguez, to serve as U.S. District Court Judges. Their confirmation illustrates something substantial and profound—@POTUS's dedication to creating a Judiciary that reflects all of America. https://t.co/VNpQm1OYDV — PolitiTweet.org

Today I had the chance to ask @ABlinken about his plans for the future of U.S. policy towards Afghanistan. I also used the opportunity to urge him to do everything in his power to bring home Illinoisan Mark Frerichs, who was abducted there last year.

I’m glad that the Biden Administration is working to reunite families separated by President Trump, but we have a lot of work left to do. Far too many of these children remain adrift in a bureaucratic sea because of Trump’s cruel zero-tolerance policy. https://t.co/Ohns5wtGgy — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I’ll join with @SenBlumenthal to re-introduce the Women’s Health Protection Act in the Senate. Passing the #WHPA would be a critical step towards ensuring people across the U.S. have access to safe, legal abortions. #ActForAbortionAccess. https://t.co/j3Og43Uq1O — PolitiTweet.org

This is heartbreaking on so many levels. These children deserved better. Gun violence is traumatizing an entire generation before our eyes. We must act now to break the cycle of violence and suffering. https://t.co/xA9dLLamHz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We cannot afford to allow our nation’s essential supply chains to wither any further. Glad to see the Biden Admin. is making an effort to strengthen them—but Congress needs to act as well. And that starts by passing the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act. https://t.co/bQRkNaiWEy — PolitiTweet.org

When the Trump-inspired mob attacked the Capitol on January 6, they were attacking our democracy. If they had their way, they would have destroyed it. We need to do everything we can to understand the events of that day. Otherwise, it will happen again. We need a commission. https://t.co/mh1UDkuu3E — PolitiTweet.org

The bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act would fundamentally change the lives of hundreds of thousands of farm workers who came to our rescue during the darkest days of the pandemic. It’s already passed the House—now the Senate needs to do the same. https://t.co/7DQNpNX1Fz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is why it is so important for the Senate to pass the bipartisan U.S. Innovation and Competition Act. We must secure our essential supply chains so that they are resilient during crises and shortages. https://t.co/Ta3KREpmFs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Climate change is a threat to every aspect of American life. If we want to build a future on this planet for our children and grandchildren, then we need to get serious about addressing this crisis now. It cannot wait. https://t.co/wPlKwE9elV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This level of gun violence has tragically become a defining aspect of life in the modern U.S., but it doesn’t have to be this way. Congress has the power to enact common sense, constitutional steps to help reduce gun violence. My prayers are with the victims and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Our service members should have the necessary modern, safe equipment to meet airlift capability, national security, and domestic needs—including for #COVID19 response. @SenDuckworth and I are calling for procurement of 8 additional C-130Js in FY22 to upgrade @AirNatlGuard units. https://t.co/LlsnVLwH71 — PolitiTweet.org

77 years ago today, brave American soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the world forever. On this anniversary of D-Day, we honor those who took part in the fight to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. The world is forever grateful for the sacrifices they made. https://t.co/KY8JeC1e6J — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @CleanEnergyTrst & @mHUBChicago for being chosen as an awardee of @Energy’s Energy Program for Innovation Clusters FOA. This funding will go a long way towards driving energy innovation in the Chicago area. https://t.co/8bhvlODbhZ — PolitiTweet.org

Congress has a responsibility to ensure American servicemembers have access to the most innovative medical technology and treatments available. @SenatorWicker and colleagues joined me in urging the Senate Appropriations Committee to boost FY 2022 DoD medical research funding. https://t.co/rlJ0A94iXT — PolitiTweet.org

Lukashenko is behaving like a mini-Putin. He has lost the support of the Belarusian people and his fear is on full display. It's past time he accepts the results of the most recent election and allows democracy to do its work. https://t.co/kGegiQwH7K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

What my office found in our investigation is a five alarm fire for democracy, underscoring the depths of the White House’s efforts to influence the electoral vote certification. I will demand all evidence of Trump’s efforts to weaponize DOJ in his election subversion scheme. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

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 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have made gun violence prevention one of our top priorities, holding four hearings thus far. With at least 244 mass shootings already this year, I am well aware how far we have to go when it comes to solving the gun violence epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

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. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Senate must take action on common-sense, constitutional measures that help reduce deadly shootings—like universal background checks—and confirm ATF Director nominee David Chipman. — PolitiTweet.org
