As the Venezuelan people face inexcusable suffering, the entrenched criminal cabal of Nicolás Maduro is holding yet another sham election—one discredited before it starts. Democratic nations must collectively and unequivocally reject this illegitimate electoral process. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans continue to struggle during this pandemic. Congress must pass a stimulus bill to provide families with relief. Senator McConnell must act with the urgency this crisis demands. — PolitiTweet.org

Now more than ever we must social distance and wear our masks. These selfless public health measures can save our loved ones, neighbors, and health care heroes. — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke to @AmericanBIC today about the Senate’s chance to finally pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill during the Biden-Harris Administration. My Democratic colleagues and I are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work if we are entrusted with the majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke w/President-elect Biden's DHS Secretary nominee @AliMayorkas today. He knows the beacon of hope and promise America can be to those facing persecution. I believe that Mr. Mayorkas can restore integrity and decency at DHS, and I urge my colleagues to support his nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

After AG Barr changed longstanding DOJ policy, the U.S. government has executed more people this year than the last 60. @RepPressley @SenBooker @SenatorLeahy & I are calling for an end to this killing spree. https://t.co/yd9iD9QFbD — PolitiTweet.org

Buenas noticias del Comité de Reglas hoy: el Senado está un paso más cerca de aprobar la Ley del Museo Nacional del Latino Americano, que autorizaría a la Institución Smithsonian a crear un museo en honor a los latinos estadounidenses — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply troubled by prison sentences for Hong Kong democracy activists Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow, and Ivan Lam. China’s undermining of Hong Kong’s autonomy is weak and cowardly. https://t.co/HwQeSAOkYP — PolitiTweet.org

Great news from the Rules Committee today: the Senate is one step closer to passing the National Museum of the American Latino Act, which would authorize the Smithsonian Institution to create a museum honoring American Latinos. https://t.co/2aicLJXR3e — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been saying for years that anticompetitive practices in the debit card industry are hurting American consumers and merchants. As the NYT Editorial Board recognizes, it’s time to reinvigorate competition in this critical area. https://t.co/Ra7oPgnNBO — PolitiTweet.org

The 2021 open enrollment period for health care plans under the Affordable Care Act ends soon—in less than two weeks. If you need a health care plan for next year, make sure to go to https://t.co/wM43rjghRC by Dec. 15. Premiums are lower & there are more options to choose from. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Rural hospitals in Illinois and across the country are struggling to keep up with the surge of COVID-19 patients. @SenatorLankford and I have a bipartisan plan to stabilize them and are working to make sure it is included in the next relief package. https://t.co/XNgCWlRiKa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

A bipartisan group of nine Senators released a $908 billion COVID-19 relief plan today. While it may not be a perfect plan, it’s a good one—and much better than nothing at all, which is the worst possible outcome & the one Senator McConnell seems to want. https://t.co/IUXPvjr98y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke w/Mark Shriver from @SavetheChildren today about prioritizing the wellbeing of children in a new COVID-19 relief package, especially in rural & underserved communities. Access to food, health care, & child care has never been more important to the wellbeing of the next gen. — PolitiTweet.org

Too many Americans are living life on the brink, waiting anxiously for relief that hasn't materialized. 1 in 8 don't have enough food. As many as 30M face the threat of eviction. We are in for a long, dark winter if Republicans don’t work with Dems to pass COVID-19 relief ASAP. https://t.co/fV7O7O56eE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If Congress does not act soon, roughly 12M Americans are going to lose access to the unemployment benefits they are relying on to get them through this pandemic on Dec. 26. @SenateDems are ready to extend these programs past the holiday season—will Republicans join us? — PolitiTweet.org

Ultimately, the U.S. will not be completely safe from COVID-19 until a vaccine is widely distributed & administered across the world. We must do our part to help make sure every nation has access to that vaccine once it is proven to be safe & effective. https://t.co/reKvSp9TuR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While House Dems passed several relief proposals, Congressional Republicans & Pres. Trump have spent the last 7+ months failing to respond to COVID-19. Americans are dying because of this inaction. November was bad, but December will be worse if we don’t act now. — PolitiTweet.org
