We also discussed the need to ensure that #DACA recipients, thousands of whom are teachers, can continue their essential work without the fear of deportation in the midst of this pandemic. Pres. Trump must use his executive authority to protect these essential workers. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Good to have the chance to speak with @AFTunion President @rweingarten today to discuss my efforts to include funding in the next #COVID19 relief package that would allow tens of millions of newly unemployed Americans to remain on their employers’ health plans through COBRA. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Proud to cosponsor @maziehirono & @SenKamalaHarris's Coronavirus Immigrant Families Protection Act to help make sure we don’t leave these vulnerable communities behind as we seek to address the public health & economic consequences of #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
#COVID19 does not discriminate based on immigration status. Undocumented immigrants – many of them essential workers on the frontlines fighting this pandemic - must have access to testing & treatment to protect all of us. https://t.co/5BRnhoqvlc — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Good news for veterans in Illinois & across the United States. The IRS has confirmed that vets who receive VA benefits will automatically receive their #COVID19 stimulus payments. https://t.co/y5oR4DOCeJ — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I led Senate letter to HHS making clear that the next allocation must send dollars where they are needed. We also can't forget hospitals bearing brunt of COVID patients, as well as downstate hospitals that are struggling to survive. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Our highest priority is to stop the spread of #COVID19. Unfortunately, the billions promised for hospitals turned into pennies for one Illinois children’s hospital -- $13.03 for La Rabida. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Half of #COVID19 deaths at one major Chicago hospital were uninsured patients. We must learn from this lesson. No excuses. We must expand coverage of affordable, quality health insurance for all Americans. Now. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
For weeks, I have been warning that recent job losses from #COVID19 would throw millions off their employer health plans. I am fighting to ensure that the federal government steps up & covers the costs of keeping folks on their employer health plans, even if they are laid off. https://t.co/fDmU4FFbB8 — PolitiTweet.org
The Washington Post @washingtonpost
First, the coronavirus pandemic took their jobs. Then, it wiped out their health insurance. https://t.co/Su96VbGDcY
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
An incredibly generous donation by Quincy-area farmers and an encouraging reminder of how communities come together to support their neighbors in their time of need. https://t.co/NXHNWPGc1W — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Warning to all the “Open Up” Task Forces: we must start by listening to real doctors, develop massive testing capacity starting now, and keep the support coming for unemployed workers and struggling small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Joined @SenDuckworth, @RepCheri, & @SecArmy for a tour of @Arsenal_Island to see firsthand how the Arsenal is assisting efforts to produce ventilators & PPE for hospitals & health care workers. RIA has always answered the nation’s call, and what we saw yesterday was no different. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Proud to join @SenKamalaHarris in this effort. Debt collectors must not be allowed to seize #COVID19 stimulus checks. https://t.co/m6j5eNug7X — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today I joined a bicameral letter calling on the @USTreasury & @SBAgov to reaffirm lending institutions’ obligations to comply with fair lending laws & require data transparency to ensure minority-owned businesses are receiving the support they deserve. https://t.co/4q3hbLnXyf — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Minority-owned businesses continue to face structural barriers to accessing the capital they need to support their business. In this extraordinary time of need, we must ensure that federal assistance, like the Paycheck Protection Program, is reaching those who need it the most. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
.@MarlenGarcia777 is absolutely right. It would be nuts to run essential workers out of the country during a pandemic. Pres. Trump must extend work authorizations for #DACA & #TPS recipients. #HomeIsHere https://t.co/dS5qQEhUVb — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Pleased to see @Illinois_Alma make good use of CARES Act funding by creating the Students FIRST: COVID-19 Emergency Fund to offset students’ financial setbacks brought on by the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/wVZVcWaElC — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
#COVID19 has caused market disruptions that hurt family hog and cattle farmers across Illinois. Joining @SenDuckworth calling on @USDA to provide immediate & direct financial assistant to family pork & beef producers who are struggling. https://t.co/KgD5R8Qau8 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
These environmental standards are intended to protect the very same communities who are being disproportionately affected by #COVID19 cases & deaths. This is a bad decision for the health and safety of the American people. https://t.co/pH0XM6clg7 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
.@FEMA assistance is key to easing the burden on hospitals treating #COVID19 patients. Yesterday, I asked @femaregion5 Admin. Joseph to keep me informed on the progress his agency is making at McCormick Place in Chicago & in working with the state leaders to identify unmet needs. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Tip for Pres Trump: listen to real doctors. Clinical trials warn us to go slow on chloroquine. 1/4 of Brazilian patients developed serious heart issues. Despite President’s promotion of “Hydroxy,” real doctors remain unconvinced of the drug’s safety & effectiveness for #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org
National Post @nationalpost
COVID-19: Brazilian trial of drug touted by Trump halted after 11 patients die on high dose https://t.co/BvoUAP8q3N
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I'm leading a group of 17 Senators in calling for robust federal COBRA subsidies to be included in any new #COVID19 legislation. We cannot allow individuals who lose their job as a result of #COVID19 to lose their employer-sponsored health coverage as well.https://t.co/kIkH6pkoX7 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
More than 1/3 recently unemployed Americans are in danger of losing their employer health plan, or face an avg. family monthly premium of $1,700. The $600/week boost in unemployment benefits all but disappears for these folks. It's time for the federal govt to cover COBRA costs. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
That’s why I led my colleagues in urging @HHSgov to alter the criteria to better address the needs of hospitals treating children, Medicaid recipients, the uninsured, & our rural & underserved communities. https://t.co/Kk02lW4ZDU — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We fought to provide $100B in the CARES Act for our heroic front-line hospitals & health providers to have the resources & equipment they need to serve communities in the face of unprecedented strains. But the first round of funding was inadequate for many essential providers. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Good to see Illinois will be getting $8.325 million in federal Dislocated Worker Grants from @USDOL. This money will go to Illinois communities that are experiencing hardship related to #COVID19 & its impact on their workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Billions flowing in @SBAgov loans to businesses struggling to survive/reopen. Funding exhausted this morning. Critical program. But the next bill must require more transparency and accountability to ensure banks prioritize the most vulnerable small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

SBA touts $250 billion loan approvals, but there’s little evidence small businesses are seeing cash https://t.co/z8T3U99f6k

Most dangerous place in America? Nursing home #COVID19 deaths are heartbreaking. Time to track, report, and demand strict testing and care standards. Protect the patients AND the courageous health care workers. — PolitiTweet.org
