Millions of Americans are relying on enhanced unemployment benefits to put food on the table and keep a roof over their head. If we don’t extend these benefits, this already bad economic crisis will get even worse. #ExtendUI https://t.co/9Nft3FZYZz — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis was the best of us. We would all do well to take his advice—follow the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you believe in. It's how John lived his life. He will be dearly missed. https://t.co/AGvmxMCAZJ — PolitiTweet.org

If @SenateGOP don’t get their act together soon, our economy is going to keep plummeting to new record lows. Their petty, partisan squabbling is Washington at its worst. It’s time to realize what’s at stake here—we must come together to right this ship before it’s too late. — PolitiTweet.org

Joining @Morning_Joe shortly to discuss @SenateDems priorities for the next #COVID19 relief package and how the Republican proposal falls short. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

While Republicans chose to cut out state & local governments from their #COVID19 response bill, I spoke with IL mayors today about providing federal assistance. I'll keep fighting for the key provisions in the Heroes Act that will help local governments weather this storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thanks to @NACBAorg & @NCLC4consumers for inviting me to speak on bankruptcy reform this morning. #COVID19’s impact on the economy has made it clear that we must reform our bankruptcy code to ensure that struggling Americans receive fair treatment. — PolitiTweet.org

Moving troops out of key NATO country, out of petty spite, is yet another step the Trump Admin has taken to strengthen Putin’s hand in the region. Making U.S. taxpayers pay billions for this policy is absurd. — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that Republicans are proposing five years of liability immunity for corporations—while promising just a few months of assistance for workers—tells the whole story about their priorities and values. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Republican corporate immunity bill does nothing to protect workers, improve safety standards, or give businesses incentives to take proper precautions to reduce the spread of #COVID19. In fact, this bill does just the opposite. https://t.co/xHwkkG8TwI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

150,000 coronavirus deaths in the U.S. is a devastating milestone. The situation never should have gotten this bad—Pres. Trump has failed the American people & neglected his responsibilities for far too long. He is the President, the buck stops with him. https://t.co/srFwZOIs3W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The response to #COVID19 in our federal prisons has been downright dangerous & is only getting worse. Congress must pass my COVID-19 Safer Detention Act with @ChuckGrassley to quickly facilitate compassionate release & home confinement for our most vulnerable inmates. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is shameful. American service members deserve better from their Commander in Chief. I’ve been briefed by General Milley & CIA Director Haspel on the bounties. The President should talk with his own military & intelligence leaders before dismissing this as "fake news." — PolitiTweet.org

At a time when unemployment figures are breaking records, Senate Republicans have decided that the problem with our economy is not unemployment—it’s that the people who are unemployed are being given too much money. The GOP unemployment plan is cruel, inhumane, & unacceptable. https://t.co/D3S7alcX9q — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is in open defiance of the Supreme Court’s decision rejecting his repeal of #DACA. I’m going to the Senate floor to respond by attempting to pass the bipartisan, House-passed Dream & Promise Act. Watch live here: https://t.co/SYUOMNfW5V — PolitiTweet.org
