If Congress doesn’t come together to pass meaningful #COVID19 relief soon, this recession is only going to get worse. More people will lose their jobs and more businesses will fail. Senator McConnell may be prepared to accept that, but Democrats are not. https://t.co/5qMpekvSeE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We're in the midst of serious epidemic & it may get worse. The American people need real economic relief & a plan to stop the virus. But sadly, Sen. McConnell’s partisan #COVID19 relief bill was a symbolic, political measure that did not go nearly far enough. https://t.co/hFFuR0FK1b — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The future of the ACA, the right to privacy & choice, the outcome of the election, & so many other important issues hang in the balance of this flawed Supreme Court nom process. These are the stakes. They simply couldn’t be higher. My full statement on tomorrow's Committee vote: https://t.co/KDGQchDXEu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Senator McConnell’s “skinny” #COVID19 bill was a purely symbolic effort to allow vulnerable Republican Senators to go home & say they voted for something. This flawed measure was never intended to actually pass. The American people deserve better. https://t.co/mvg5iqA4MB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Here's all the proof you need that Senator McConnell does not care about stopping the virus or supporting our small businesses & families. The American people can see right through this cynical & selfish political maneuvering. https://t.co/C3utHpDiQO — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Admin’s plan to set the lowest refugee resettlement goal in history is a shameful betrayal of our nation's bipartisan tradition of generosity & strength. We can do much more to provide safety to innocent victims of war & terrorism who pose no threat to our security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Yesterday I spoke with @SecPompeo & @HomelandKen to press them on the Trump Admin's dismal refugee resettlement plans. In the midst of the dire global refugee crisis, this Admin coddles dictators while cruelly closing our nation’s doors to the most vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

More than 100M Americans live with a pre-existing condition. One of them is Nate from Montgomery, IL. Nate was diagnosed with biliary atresia at 3 months old. If Republicans eliminate the ACA, he could lose access to the health care he needs to survive. I'm fighting for Nate. https://t.co/D89ogkxmu1 — PolitiTweet.org

In her responses to written questions, Judge Barrett dodged answering even the simplest of questions, including refusing to acknowledge that President Trump has made false claims about voting. You can read more here: https://t.co/Wnl05pJImn — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Administration cruelly separated thousands of families with no plan to reunite them & now comes the devastating—but not surprising—news that hundreds of the parents cannot be located. The perpetrators of these human rights abuses must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Senator McConnell’s partisan #COVID19 relief proposal is half-hearted & half-inspired. It doesn’t do enough to stop the virus, help workers, or support families. Its sole intention is providing political cover for vulnerable Senate Republicans who have failed their constituents. https://t.co/7h61Pdn85T — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congress needs to pass meaningful #COVID19 relief to help stop the spread of this virus & support struggling workers & their families. Instead, Sen. McConnell wants to pass a bill that protects big corporations from accountability. The American people can see through this sham. https://t.co/jDfPDxCC7n — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Senator McConnell isn’t serious about passing meaningful #COVID19 relief. His “skinny” bill that we’re voting on later this week doesn’t even have the support of the White House. It's a symbolic measure that fails to address this crisis. The American people deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Meet Susan. Susan is a 5th generation farmer from New Berlin, Illinois. She's also a two-time cancer fighter who relies on the Affordable Care Act's protections for pre-existing conditions. Republicans want to take those protections away. I’m in this fight for Susan. https://t.co/lEttUstwq1 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be going on @CNN with @JakeTapper soon to discuss the state of COVID-19 relief negotiations in the Senate and the latest on the Supreme Court. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

4 conservative justices—including 2 appointed by Pres. Trump—were ready to halt a state supreme court’s interpretation of its own state’s law. With 1 more vote, they would have succeeded. That’s exactly the kind of judicial activism Republicans claim to oppose. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Republicans are rushing to confirm Judge Barrett as part of their plan to strike down the ACA & its protections for pre-existing conditions. That would be a disaster for Americans fighting cancer—like Jared Ray from Buffalo Grove, IL. I’m fighting for Jared. https://t.co/BiRRXmV9RW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In a 4-4 vote, #SCOTUS rejected a Republican effort to stop the Penn. Supreme Court’s decision extending the state’s absentee ballot deadline. This is a victory for democracy. But it's also a demonstration of what’s at stake as Republicans rush to confirm Judge Barrett. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Republicans are rushing forward with their plan to confirm Judge Barrett before Election Day. They want a right-wing 6-3 Supreme Court majority to end the Affordable Care Act, overturn Roe v. Wade, & undo progress in marriage equality. That’s what at stake this week. — PolitiTweet.org

The Community Reinvestment Act was enacted to facilitate investment in marginalized communities after decades of redlining & discriminatory lending practices. The Trump Admin. is gutting the CRA—in the middle of a pandemic & economic crisis no less. Congress must act to #SaveCRA. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexey Navalny has demonstrated immense courage fighting for democracy in Russia. President Trump's refusal to condemn Putin for poisoning a key political rival shows just how deferential he is to the former KGB agent. https://t.co/r18eS1Gp0l — PolitiTweet.org

The Affordable Care Act provides protections for more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions. That includes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, depression & COVID-19. We can’t let Republicans take those protections away. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Judge Barrett was a constitutional law professor—she knows all about the explicit language in our Constitution regarding the peaceful transfer of power after an election. Her outright refusal to commit to honoring those principles is deeply concerning. https://t.co/OBSuhZwIwe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

A 6-3 right-wing Supreme Court is a threat to health care, to a woman’s right to choose, and to the right of Americans to love who they love. Republicans know this, and they are doing everything they can to rush Judge Barrett’s confirmation. Americans see where they stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

More than 100M Americans with pre-existing conditions, like Kenny Murray of Tinley Park, rely on the Affordable Care Act’s protections. On November 10, Pres. Trump & Republicans will argue in the Supreme Court to strike down the entire ACA. I’m on Kenny’s team in this fight. https://t.co/a5bvth1TXA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

For months now, Senator McConnell has repeatedly refused to work with Democrats on #COVID19 relief. Now—all of a sudden—he wants to pass a small, symbolic gesture right before the election. Where has he been for the last five months? The American people deserve better. https://t.co/nO5hCQWDMr — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 cases are spiking across Illinois. We have hit record high new cases the past two days.   Illinoisans—please wear a mask and practice social distancing. We’re all in this together with one goal: stopping the spread of this virus and saving lives. — PolitiTweet.org
