Justice Jackson is right: Why should some families ("legacies") and backgrounds be honored at universities and not others? Affirmative action has helped generations of well-qualified students access higher education—and helps our workforce reflect the diversity of America itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite Lukashenko selling out to his puppet master Putin, patriotic Belarusians continue to push for democracy and truth. https://t.co/4aFFNc3Vvt — PolitiTweet.org

It’s @DEAHQ's #TakeBackDay! Today from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m, invite your family and friends to join us in safely disposing old and unneeded medications. To find a collection site, seek substance abuse treatment, or learn more about the opioid crisis in the US: https://t.co/KtISX5Yxds https://t.co/uYWv5lXuGd — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorBraun & my bipartisan Dietary Supplement Listing Act requires companies to register dietary supplements & provide basic info about their ingredients. It does NOT give FDA pre-market approval authority. It DOES ensure better safety for consumers. https://t.co/Z1ED0FKsyo — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts this morning are with @SpeakerPelosi's family and her husband, Paul Pelosi, who was subjected to a brutal and deliberate attack in their home. Loretta and I are thinking of you and praying for your recovery. Violence is never acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats’ investments in America's working families have cut costs & created more than 10M jobs nationwide since @POTUS came into office. The ARP, Infrastructure Law, CHIPS Act, & IRA are helping to boost American industry, advance clean energy, & promote economic growth. https://t.co/baYJYl4Qqy — PolitiTweet.org

I saw firsthand the lifesaving work @AmbulancesU & volunteers are doing by collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of donated goods, including emergency vehicles, for Ukraine. As Ukraine continues fighting for their freedom, we must remain steadfast in our support. https://t.co/Gee844zymG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

For years, I’ve pushed to close the 90/10 loophole that allows predatory for-profit colleges to prey on our veterans and service members. Today, @usedgov’s updated regulations are making sure we protect those who defend our country. https://t.co/wJszlaSeo1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many of the issues that children and families face, such as hunger and mental health. The @YMCA of Rock River Valley has been fighting to support them for years. I'm pleased I was able to secure $750,000 for them to continue this critical work. https://t.co/l5o6J6jPNT — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 4th anniversary of the deadliest antisemitic massacre in US history @ #TreeOfLife synagogue. May the memory of those lost be a blessing to their loved ones. Everyone, no matter their religion, where they come from, what they look like, deserves to live in safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I applaud @US_FDA for this action to protect kids from harmful & addictive flavored e-cigarettes. Important first step—I urge the agency to continue its overdue efforts to protect public health. https://t.co/57rY0E43zJ — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @RepAdamSchiff in a letter to the CEOs of Alphabet and YouTube calling on them to take new, aggressive actions to limit the spread of this extreme and harmful content on their platforms. https://t.co/zRGyTQOOJd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

“Incel” or “involuntary celibate” forums promote a dangerous misogynist ideology, & have been linked to multiple mass shootings. Online platforms facilitate entry into the “incelosphere,” directing impressionable men to anti-woman content. https://t.co/oqaHmmfM0A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The sham trial & conviction of Jimmy Lai, an advocate for freedom of the press & civil liberties, are blatant attempts by the CCP to silence opposition voices & undermine HK's democracy. I stand with Hong Kongers in their fight for political freedom. https://t.co/4xGzKTTea3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As the only four-year Predominately Black Institution in Illinois, CSU is committed to closing the diversity gaps in health care professions, and it's critical that we continue investing in these programs to strengthen our health care system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@ChicagoState is preparing the next generation of diverse health care professionals, which is why I secured $450,000 to support their efforts to provide a high-quality education for students in the College of Health Sciences. https://t.co/6kxmjz7pph — PolitiTweet.org

Safe, effective, and improved COVID vaccines are available at pharmacies, clinics, and doctor offices across the United States. Get yours today to protect yourselves and your loved ones as we head into the winter months. #VaxUpAmerica https://t.co/kzDq32aAZD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

IL has more lead pipes than any other state. To address the legacy of lead in IL, I support @EPA’s lead action plan & urge them to ensure the LCRI requires full replacement of lead pipes & community awareness of the dangers of lead contamination. https://t.co/vKtvA15zZp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As winter approaches, it's important to make sure you're protected against COVID-19. The updated vaccine is the best protection against the version of COVID-19 we’re fighting right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I joined @CREATE_Chicago to celebrate the groundbreaking for a new bridge and grade separation that will fix part of the most congested rail chokepoint in the Chicago area. This will allow for more efficient movement of people and goods across the region and the country. https://t.co/ky7SXvyUwP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Not a single Republican supported the #InflationReductionAct. Instead, they sided w/ Big Pharma’s greedy drug price increases on everyday Americans. Dems passed the IRA to lower drug & energy costs for families, reduce the deficit, & ensure billionaire corps pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Ortega continues to oppress the people of Nicaragua by jailing nearly 200 political opponents, including former presidential candidates Juan Sebastian Chamorro and Felix Maradiaga, and harassing journalists in a cowardly attempt to stay in power. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I support the Biden Administration’s actions to further hold Ortega and his enablers accountable for their tragic disregard for Nicaraguan democracy and human rights that has led more than 100,000 Nicaraguans to flee in fear. https://t.co/qZ30ulAjtK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

All Americans should have a shared interest in a safe and secure election. Yet instead of working with @SenateDems, Republicans have blocked election security bills and refused to address violence against election workers—because it means saying that the Big Lie is a lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@EsperanzaHealth has flourished since opening their Brighton Park location in 2019. I’m glad that @SenDuckworth & I were able to secure $1 million in funding to help Esperanza continue to expand & provide top-notch care and treatment for Chicagoans. https://t.co/r0y8dilyy1 — PolitiTweet.org

I can't think of a more fitting home for the world's largest 3D printer than @Arsenal_Island. The Arsenal has proven it's capable of modernizing to meet today's challenges, and I look forward to seeing the cutting edge technology that comes from the Arsenal's new assignment. https://t.co/loazfb9svT — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are taking action to help the middle class. 22 million Americans have already submitted their application to @usedgov to receive life-changing student debt relief. The official application is now live. Take 5 minutes to apply today at https://t.co/kAuSDxColK. — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbroken to hear of a devastating school shooting in St. Louis. I am praying for the victims and their families. Horrific gun violence is a scourge on our communities and we must not waver in our determination to reduce it. Our kids deserve that from us. — PolitiTweet.org
