.@SenDougJones may be leaving the Senate, but I know he will continue to find new ways to bend the moral arc of our universe towards justice, wherever the future finds him. Thank you for your service, Doug. I wish you the best. https://t.co/1WoVAJVcu4 — PolitiTweet.org

Brandon Bernard should not be executed tomorrow by the Trump Administration. @SenBooker and I are calling on President Trump to commute Mr. Bernard's death sentence. https://t.co/WqbMIYUOrP — PolitiTweet.org

Just spoke with @aarpillinois about the impact COVID-19 is having on seniors in Illinois. It’s imperative for the Senate to come together and pass an emergency relief bill that addresses hunger & provides funding to support nursing home residents and staff. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinoisans—the 2021 open enrollment period ends NEXT WEEK on December 15. If you need health insurance for next year, do not wait. Go to https://t.co/wM43rjghRC today to find the right plan for you. — PolitiTweet.org

On December 26, roughly 12 million Americans are going to lose the unemployment benefits they are relying on to make it through this pandemic. How can any member of Congress leave for the holiday break in good conscience without acting on emergency relief? https://t.co/jVWabgvVlr — PolitiTweet.org

Going to the Senate floor to discuss the state of COVID-19 relief negotiations in Washington. Watch live here: https://t.co/9g6Z9jNadM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Senator McConnell is trying to sabotage emergency COVID-19 relief over funding for state and local governments. If he succeeds in shutting down negotiations yet again, the American people are in for a long, dark winter. https://t.co/lrIFiHxMTX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Earlier this year, I introduced legislation with @marcorubio to expand our workforce & encourage more young people to pursue careers in medicine and health care. You can read more about our legislation here: https://t.co/bQtXwBh1ZD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The heroic efforts of our nation's frontline health care workers are inspiring a new generation of medical leaders. We should be doing everything we can to help these aspiring young scientists, doctors, & nurses realize their dreams & enter the health care workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @jaketapper on @TheLeadCNN soon to discuss the state of COVID-19 relief negotiations. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It has been an honor to work with @SenatorTomUdall in the Senate and a privilege to consider him a friend. He was a voice for working families and a fierce advocate for the preservation of public lands. He will be deeply missed and I wish him all the best. https://t.co/ROZoMrEDBX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I will continue working with Secretary McCarthy and other defense leaders to do right by our service members and create a culture where female soldiers are believed when bravely coming forward to report sexual assault and harassment. I believe you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The findings of the Fort Hood review are clear: we must do more to address sexual assault and harassment there, at the 416th in IL, and all across our military. https://t.co/8jYq9C5b7I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Australia has been our ally for generations—we should be doing everything we can to stand together against Chinese bullying. So where has President Trump been? He talked tough on China, but when it really came down to it, was nowhere to be found. https://t.co/FNzbO3nNVE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the middle of an airborne pandemic, against the recommendation of its own scientists, the Trump Administration has once again sided with polluters and failed to combat soot in our air. Failures like this put lives, and disproportionately communities of color, at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

State and local governments' revenue has been devastated by the #COVID19 pandemic. Spoke with @chicagosmayor and @SenDuckworth today about the urgent need for Congress to pass emergency relief that helps our mayors & governors through this dark time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The COVID-19 pandemic has put many American families and small businesses on the brink of financial ruin. Congress MUST come together on a bipartisan basis to pass emergency COVID-19 relief before the holidays. Enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The 2021 open enrollment period for health care plans under the ACA ends next Tuesday, Dec. 15. With the COVID-19 pandemic raging, it has never been more important to get covered. Premiums on https://t.co/wM43rjghRC are lower & there are more options to choose from. #GetCovered — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a disgrace that Senate Republicans continue to block the bipartisan Dream and Promise Act, which passed the House last year. If Democrats take the majority in the Senate, it will be at the top of my agenda. I’ll never stop fighting to give #Dreamers a path to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Trump judicial nominee Stephen Schwartz is yet another extreme & underqualified ideologue the Senate is considering this week. He has described Social Security as “harmful,” advocated against DACA & repro rights, & defended restrictive voting practices. I strongly oppose his nom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is a qualified, diverse team that will be ready on day one to work to contain the #COVID19 pandemic and ensure the safe, affordable, and equitable distribution of the vaccine. I look forward to working with them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Paul Sarbanes of Maryland was one of my heroes in the Senate. Intelligent, articulate, funny, willing to fight for what he believed in—a class act. When asked about my favorites in the Senate, I always said his name. May every public servant aspire to live by his standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I saw @XavierBecerra's commitment to expanding health care up close when we passed the Affordable Care Act in Congress. As HHS Secretary, I know he'll continue that focus and be a valuable partner for President-elect @JoeBiden in strengthening the ACA & building on its progress. — PolitiTweet.org

It has been more than 5 months since the Supreme Court rejected Pres. Trump’s “arbitrary and capricious” effort to end deportation protections for Dreamers. The President must immediately comply with the Court’s decision & reopen DACA to all eligible individuals. — PolitiTweet.org
