Last week, I wrote the CEOs of companies with #COVID19 vaccine candidates asking how they will ensure scientific integrity amid political pressure from Pres. Trump. We all want a safe & effective vaccine quickly, but we cannot rush an unproven product as a campaign strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of @ChiPubSchools for opening 450+ meal sites for the upcoming school year. Students, parents, and guardians can pick up these free meals from the school closest to them between 8 am – 1 pm Monday-Friday. Locate the school meal site nearest you at https://t.co/7WgnYYudFu — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a happy first day of school to Illinois school districts across the state today! Whether you are going back in person or online, this school year is going to be different than any other. Let’s make the most of it and keep each other safe. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud of the work UIUC has done to develop this test that offers results in a few hours & can be put in a mobile labs to increase access. That's why I'm leading the IL delegation in urging @HHSGov to explore how it can scale up use of SHIELD T3 testing throughout the country. https://t.co/4rIOfSv4uc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@Illinois_Alma's new low-cost, rapid saliva #COVID19 test, SHIELD T3, holds the hope of a significant leap forward in #COVID19 testing technology needed to help reopen our economy, restart schools, and target hot spots in this public health emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

For each person undercounted in the 2020 census, Illinois could lose up to $1,400 in federal funding. We can’t let that happen. Illinoisans—let’s #MakeILCount. Go to https://t.co/7JsL3kmCAY or call 1-844-330-2020 to make sure you get counted today. — PolitiTweet.org

The Pullman National Monument is bringing new investment and new hope to the south side of Chicago. By preserving our past, we are creating a better future for the City of Chicago and the people who live in this great city. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The bloody Pullman rail strike nearly 125 years ago led to the creation by Congress of a national Labor Day holiday, and it ultimately advanced the rights and the economic security of all workers in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It was great to spend Labor Day at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Pullman National Monument Campus. https://t.co/LFUlNwiqS3 — PolitiTweet.org

Today we honor the resilience of American workers & celebrate all the progress we have made in building a safer and more equitable workplace. But we cannot forget that our work to ensure opportunity for all is not yet done. Until that day, we must keep fighting. https://t.co/zCnFQkoYCL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The #COVID19 pandemic has tested @YoungFarmers in a variety of ways, but they are stepping up to provide support to the communities they serve. It's time for @USDA to do the same by acting on Congressional instructions to provide more assistance to local farms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Three years ago today, Pres. Trump began his cruel attempt to end #DACA. SCOTUS rejected this effort in June, but the President is openly defying the Court’s order & refusing to reopen the program. I’ll keep fighting until every Dreamer has a path to citizenship. #HomeIsHere — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The State of Illinois and the men and women of America’s military are blessed to have the clear, courageous voice of @SenDuckworth. And I am fortunate to call her my colleague and friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The President denies calling fallen American military heroes “losers.” He also denied saying “s...hole countries” in a White House meeting. I was there. He said it. — PolitiTweet.org

Quality broadband is critical to students completing their coursework & patients communicating with their doctors. Sadly, too many communities still lack access to reliable connections. I spoke with @lcouncilswil about investing in broadband to finally close the digital divide. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad ICE is postponing plans to launch its Chicago Citizens Academy. I will continue pushing for the cancellation of this deeply flawed initiative. https://t.co/iGNPMeL5DU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

There is alarming evidence that links adolescent tobacco use to #COVID19. @CongressmanRaja and I are calling on @CDCgov to urge colleges to go tobacco-free to keep their students from putting themselves at a higher risk of contracting the virus. https://t.co/A5rgO1dYsh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We all heard Pres. Trump disrespect John McCain and his incredible sacrifice for our country. We all heard him disparage Gold Star families. Those words are on video. Why would he be less contemptuous of our service members when the cameras are not rolling? A sad day. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

When the Senate returns to Washington next week, we need to make a deal to help small businesses and the millions of jobless Americans. Senator McConnell should not send us home again until we do. https://t.co/MXDLeiPtuN — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s “vote twice” advice reflects either his ignorance of how America votes or a willful effort to create uncertainty about the upcoming election. Or both. The American people should follow the law, not the President. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We all want a safe & effective vaccine for #COVID19. But Pres. Trump is eroding public confidence by pressuring the FDA. I wrote to the companies with vax candidates asking how they will maintain scientific integrity & not cut corners in the face of Trump’s political pressure. — PolitiTweet.org

An 8.4% unemployment rate is not something the President should be bragging about. — PolitiTweet.org

HK protestors are fighting for liberties we take for granted in the US—freedom of assembly, suffrage, speech, due process, & the rule of law. They have my unequivocal support. I only wish I could say the same about Pres. Trump, who has remained silent on Chinese aggression in HK. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Had the opportunity to speak with Chicago area Hong Kong democracy activists today about ongoing situation in Hong Kong and Chinese bullying. I continue to be moved by the courage of both the pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong as well as their allies in the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The U.S. has 5% of the world’s population and nearly 25% of #COVID19 cases. We have 60,000 more deaths than the next leading nation. Is this what President Trump meant when he said “America First?” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@realDonaldTrump cannot allow Russian interference in our elections to go on unpunished. The very integrity of our democracy is at stake. @SenateDems are demanding immediate sanctions on Russia for their interference in the upcoming election. https://t.co/VSTIaAJn5v — PolitiTweet.org

In just the last few months President Trump has let Putin get away with: Poisoning his opposition Putting bounties on US troops in Afghanistan Ramming US military personnel in Syria All without saying a word. Putin has him wrapped around his finger. https://t.co/pkglvfm7gb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The United States leads the world in #COVID19 cases—with more than 6 million cases and 185,000 deaths. Wouldn’t call that a great job. — PolitiTweet.org
