The federal funding I secured for the Chicago HEAL Initiative will help expand hospital projects that address the root causes of gun violence & offer support to Chicago neighborhoods dealing with the heavy weight of gun violence and health disparities. https://t.co/6dcE7Lqc1I — PolitiTweet.org

Extremely proud of what @JudiciaryDems accomplished over the past 2 years. Equally as important as the numbers, we saw diverse nominees confirmed—in both their professional & demographic background. We are bringing balance to the courts, with more to come in the next two years. — PolitiTweet.org

With the high costs of tuition, many students can't afford to purchase the expensive textbooks required for classes. Increased funding for the Open Textbook Program will provide relief for many students. Proud to have secured $12M for this program in the government funding bill. — PolitiTweet.org

This omnibus package makes significant investments in the future of Illinois. It will help localities in IL launch infrastructure projects, improve access to health care, advance environmental conservation, strengthen community violence prevention initiatives, and much more. https://t.co/54C66QYGnW — PolitiTweet.org

The omnibus package is a testament to the progress we made in the last year. It includes funding for Ukraine, emergency disaster assistance, & the bipartisan Electoral Count Reform Act. I encourage the House to pass it quickly & look forward to @POTUS signing it into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SenBillCassidy, @janschakowsky, and @RepGusBilirakis were excellent partners in championing this bill, and I thank them for their efforts to see it through. — PolitiTweet.org

The INFORM Consumers Act will increase transparency in online marketplaces and make it harder for criminals to sell counterfeit and stolen products to unsuspecting consumers. I'm glad this important bipartisan legislation has passed the Senate & is on its way to becoming law! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

My bill, named in memory of visionary leader Dr. Joanne Smith, supports top rehab hospitals, like Chicago’s @AbilityLab, focused on innovative research & treatments for patients with complex health conditions. I’m thrilled it passed the House & now heads to @POTUS’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to meet with you tonight, Mr. President. We will continue to stand with you and the fearless Ukrainian people. #SlavaUkraini https://t.co/9PsylZhR9q — PolitiTweet.org

Four years ago, passing the First Step Act—the most important criminal justice reform legislation in a generation—was a Christmas miracle. We have come a long way, but we must continue to work to ensure that the goals of the FSA are fully met. https://t.co/AKcUkCR553 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Justice for Victims of War Crimes Act will allow the U.S. to hold perpetrators of heinous war crimes to account. We must not be a safe haven for war criminals. Unanimous Senate passage of this bill sends a clear message to Putin that Congress stands w/ the Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

From our kids’ babysitter to an IWIL graduate, you've grown into one of the most accomplished legislators and constituent advocates in the House of Representatives. I think I speak for every resident in Illinois’ 17th District in saying: you will be missed @RepCheri. https://t.co/1wbJ3ZjfP1 — PolitiTweet.org

The tragic conflict in Ethiopia has left one million dead, & millions more without the means to survive. As I stated to Special Envoy Hammer, I will continue to monitor the ceasefire agreement, and remain hopeful that the Ethiopian people will recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The INFORM Consumers Act will help protect consumers and deter the online sale of stolen and counterfeit goods by anonymous sellers. This is important, bipartisan legislation that will make a real difference. https://t.co/NrKbc4aUgo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m thrilled my & @SenBillCassidy bipartisan INFORM Consumers Act was included in the omnibus & am hopeful it will be signed into law as part of the full package. Consumers deserve to know basic information about those who sell them products online. https://t.co/xm8dmBuhXM — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue to work with @SenBooker in advocating for this historic legislation—legislation that will help reform our criminal justice system to better live up to the ideals of true justice and equality under the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is deeply disappointing that Senate Republican leadership rejected a compromise bill that would make our communities safer & our justice system fairer, and has broad law enforcement & bipartisan support, including from the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

This is further evidence of the troubling role that Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society played in driving Donald Trump’s judicial selection process. — PolitiTweet.org

This report shows how FDA’s failure to clear the market of illegal e-cigs cost more kids to be addicted to nicotine & undermined agency’s credibility. Spoke w/ @DrCaliff_FDA today about serious need for FDA to improve its tobacco oversight & enforcement to protect public health. — PolitiTweet.org

No man, not even a President, is above the law. The anger and resentment Donald Trump stoked with his "Big Lie" created a deadly event on January 6, and left a perpetual stain on our nation’s history. He must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m pleased to see the Water Resources Development Act pass the Senate. It will help modernize water infrastructure in Illinois, protect lands prone to dangerous flooding, & protect the Great Lakes from invasive species. https://t.co/4dQMpYAHvk — PolitiTweet.org

14-year-old Nathan Billegas & 15-year-old Brandon Perez were tragically shot and killed on Friday afternoon outside of a school. And a 16-year-old boy was shot while riding the CTA Red Line. We cannot accept this kind of violence in our country, to our kids no less. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Last week, I led my colleagues in requesting increased @EPA enforcement & compliance funding to hold polluters accountable & protect natural resources. Communities of color & low-income areas are over-burdened by pollution, & EPA must prioritize enforcement in these areas. https://t.co/dxW8ogwHpm — PolitiTweet.org
