It’s been a long road, but I am glad to have secured years of federal funding for these lock and dam upgrades on the Illinois River. This is good for Illinois farmers, Illinois commerce, and our entire state. @ILCorn @ILFarmBureau https://t.co/ELefxTuoWc — PolitiTweet.org

Twice this week, the country—and Illinois—has set new records for COVID-19 cases. Hospitalizations are spiking to alarming levels. It’s time for real national leadership to follow the public health experts & protect our health workers, loved ones, and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

The US has hit a grim milestone for daily cases with more than 87,000 new infections Thursday. This comes six days… https://t.co/mcT7eeInjK

If McConnell’s Senate can process a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land in a matter of days, there is no excuse for his failure to negotiate with Democrats to pass a relief bill that could’ve extended our businesses & workers a helping hand in this time of need. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
For months small businesses & nonprofits in Illinois have been desperate for federal assistance to survive this pandemic. Despite pleas for help, Majority Leader McConnell & Senate Republicans plugged their ears & fast-tracked a Supreme Court nomination. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
.@SenDuckworth & I have blocked USDA’s overreach for 2 years. Now—in the middle of a pandemic—they're trying again. This time, USDA seems to be breaking commitments made to me in Congressional testimony. We will stand up again to this senseless effort & protect these Illinoisans. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
IL runs a leading program to help 8,000 seniors & people w/disabilities access health & nutrition services in their community, rather than an institutional setting. Despite two decades of this program, the Trump Admin has tried to rip away SNAP benefits that feed these groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Las mujeres latinas ganan 55 centavos por un dólar comparado a hombres blancos. Latinas y sus familias merecen algo mejor. @HouseDemocrats ya han adoptado leyes para abordar este problema – el Senado debe hacer su parte y aprobar el #PaycheckFairnessAct! #LatinasAreEssential https://t.co/EFd5B2OTbj — PolitiTweet.org

Latina women make 55 cents on the dollar as compared to white men. Latinas and their families deserve better. @HouseDemocrats already passed legislation to address this issue – the Senate must do its part to pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct! #LatinasAreEssential https://t.co/q95B7AOQ7a — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The ACA protects millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions. But Republicans want SCOTUS to strike it down & rushed a new justice to the Court to help. We can't return to dark days of higher costs & less care for sick patients. I’ll keep fighting to save the ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump wants to turn Voice of America into his own state-run propaganda machine like other autocrats he admires. https://t.co/wsERHT6KyT — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Spoke earlier this week with @IDPH Director Dr. Ezike about the surge of COVID-19 cases in IL, racial disparities, and our PPE & testing capacity. I promised Dr. Ezike to keep urging my Republican colleagues to finally join Democrats in crafting a comprehensive relief package. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
As COVID-19 cases in IL surge to record levels, it is straining our health care system. I was briefed by hospital officials from Chicago to Carbondale & Quincy to Danville about PPE & testing needs, & to let them know I am doing everything I can to bring federal aid home to IL. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
From the outset, the President and his team misled the public, downplayed the virus & refused to follow the science. The consequence? 74,000 new COVID-19 cases yesterday alone. Hospital beds filling up. 226,000+ Americans are dead. They have not “ended the pandemic” in any sense. https://t.co/jd3NDMRCKl — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
These kinds of corporate bankruptcy abuses are unacceptable. Congress must pass my Protecting Employees and Retirees in Business Bankruptcies Act to help put workers’ interests before those of corporate executives when businesses file for Chapter 11. https://t.co/WZBeyPLRga — PolitiTweet.org

From start to finish, Republicans disregarded the COVID-19 pandemic in their rush to confirm Judge Barrett before Election Day. All the while #COVID19 cases spiked across the US. They gave up on helping the American people to pursue a partisan power grab. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s walk through the White House with President Trump was a campaign ad. Republicans want the Supreme Court to strike down the ACA and tilt the election their way. It was a sad day for the Court and our country, but we will fight tooth and nail. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Now that she has been sworn in, litigants in the PA mail-in ballot case have rightly pointed out that Justice Barrett’s “impartiality might reasonably be questioned” and have asked for her to recuse. She should do so, immediately. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Pres. Trump has been clear that he wanted Justice Barrett on the Court to help him in election challenges. Democrats asked Justice Barrett at her hearing to commit to recuse herself from cases involving the ongoing election, and she refused. This left a cloud over her nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Originalism is the MAGA of judicial philosophies. We cannot allow an 18th century understanding of the Constitution to dictate what happens in 21st century America. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenDuckworth: I’m proud that I can be a role model, but we're much more than "boxes" to be checked. Yes, I represent diversity, moms,… — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Sen. McConnell spent 5 straight days on the Senate floor jamming through the Barrett nomination. Five days for a partisan power grab. But no time for meaningful, bipartisan #COVID19 relief. His priorities are crystal clear. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Justice Kavanaugh & his conservative allies last night disenfranchised Wisconsin voters whose ballots are mailed before Election Day but arrive after. Voter suppression is alive and well in the GOP. It’s clear that we must enact my Constitutional guarantee of a right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
This is a dark day for the Senate. Republicans have defied rules & traditions in their rush to confirm Judge Barrett in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic & an election. I believe my Republican colleagues will regret the consequences of taking us down this path. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I will be voting against Judge Barrett’s nomination tonight. More than 225,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 & more than 60 million ballots have already been cast in the election that is just eight days away. This is not the time to be pursuing partisan power grabs. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Adding Judge Barrett to form a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court is a direct threat to Americans’ access to affordable health care, voting rights, reproductive rights, marriage equality, & more. I will vote no on her nomination because I know #WhatsAtStake. — PolitiTweet.org

In Citizens United, conservatives struck down a campaign finance law to unleash a flood of dark money. In Shelby County, conservatives gutted the Voting Rights Act, unleashing a wave of voter suppression. Now another originalist-textualist has been nominated to undo the ACA. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
FACT CHECK: Republicans claim Judge Barrett will be a neutral umpire & Democrats want courts to be “super-legislatures” with unelected judges making laws. In fact, right-wing judicial activists have repeatedly used originalism & textualism to overturn duly-enacted laws. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
225,000+ Americans are dead & Trump Admin has surrendered to COVID-19. The GOP-held Senate refuses to work with Democrats on relief. All of their focus is on the Supreme Court. They've decided this power grab is more important than helping American people during a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
