Glad to visit @AuroraU's Center for Immersive Learning, which I recently secured $775,000 in federal funding for. The center provides hands-on training opportunities for nursing students. We must continue investing in our health workforce for the well-being of our communities. https://t.co/86363dana6 — PolitiTweet.org

The details unveiled in this case are appalling, and may not be isolated. Given BOP’s disgraceful actions in this case, I'm asking the DOJ IG to investigate BOP’s treatment of medically vulnerable individuals both while incarcerated and upon their release. https://t.co/L3nTxiqiYZ — PolitiTweet.org

For many, home is not always a safe place. Every victim and survivor of domestic violence deserves support, whether they live in a rural area like Carbondale or an urban area like Chicago. This resolution will help raise awareness and remind survivors that they are not alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of crudely putting brave Russian voice Alexei Navalny in solitary for not washing a prison fence, Putin should have to wash the blood of innocent Ukrainians off the streets of Kiev for his war crimes. https://t.co/1DQCIeYg3Q — PolitiTweet.org

8 in 10 Illinoisans live in a community where lead has been found in drinking water in the last 6 years. @EPA's announcement of $148M in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to IL for water infrastructure upgrades will help make access to safe drinking water a reality for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I look forward to continuing to work with @SenBillCassidy and our broad coalition of supporters to ensure that this important bipartisan legislation is included in the final package. — PolitiTweet.org

People deserve to know basic info about sellers of consumer products online. By providing verification & transparency of 3rd party sellers, my INFORM Consumers Act will deter online sales of stolen, counterfeit & unsafe goods. Pleased to see it included in Senate version of NDAA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

No judge should fear for their life and the safety of their family as they work to deliver equal justice under the law. I'm proud to have worked with Senators Menendez and Booker on this bill, which will provide important protections for federal judges and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is my great pleasure to introduce Lindsay Jenkins, nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of my state of Illinois. I look forward to hearing more about Ms. Jenkins’s courtroom experience, management credentials, and deep knowledge of the NDIL. — PolitiTweet.org

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to human rights advocates in Russia, Ukraine & Belarus in tribute to their bravery & defense of freedom and liberty. Honored to have met w/ prize winner Ales Bialiatski & Russian activist Vladimir Kara-Murza whose voices cannot be silenced. https://t.co/tTkBbiRdxx — PolitiTweet.org

As we recognize #NationalComingOutDay, we're witnessing Republican attacks on LGBTQ kids across the country—a stark reminder of why it's so important for Congress to pass the Equality Act. We must keep fighting to ensure every American child feels safe to be their authentic self. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we honor the memory and heroism of General Casimir Pulaski on the anniversary of his death in battle — a Polish immigrant who joined the Continental Army in 1777 and became known as the “Father of the American Calvary.” #GeneralPulaskiMemorialDay — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @UChicago finance professor, Douglas Diamond, for being named one of three 2022 Nobel economics prize winners for his influential research on the banking system. https://t.co/iqlxLGQamN — PolitiTweet.org

The NOPEC Act passed in the Judiciary Committee w/ a bipartisan vote in May. Saudi Arabia’s collusion w/ Putin to fix prices will increase gas prices for Americans at a time when inflation is high. The Senate must take action against price fixing by OPEC & pass this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm joining @CNN @NewDay shortly to discuss U.S.-Saudi relations in the midst of OPEC’s announcement to decrease oil production. Be sure to tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Hitler’s blitzkrieg on the innocent Brits strengthened their resolve. Putin’s mass strike on innocent Ukrainians will do the same. The hottest ring in Hell has Putin’s name on the door. https://t.co/wBeLGEMMJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

On this day, let’s take time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and resilience of Native Americans and commemorate their history and culture. #IndigenousPeoplesDay — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to visit @ArmyERDC facility today in Champaign, CERL, which is at the forefront of cutting edge research for the U.S. Army alongside academia and industry. https://t.co/Es2AGzc5B8 — PolitiTweet.org

According to @CDCgov, “the firearm homicide rate in the U.S. increased nearly 35% from 2019 to 2020.” Increases in both firearm homicide & suicide rates underscore the dire need for prevention efforts. As we recover from the pandemic, we must make communities healthier and safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congrats to imprisoned Belarusian human rights advocate Ales Bialiatski on receiving the 2022 @NobelPrize. I will continue to advocate for the release of those who have spoken out against Lukashenka’s oppression & cowardly sellout to Putin to use their country to attack Ukraine. https://t.co/4cSOUfMzpj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This morning I celebrated the completion of the 1st Street Shared Use Path, which connects @UofIllinois and the Village of Savoy. This is the beginning of a larger effort to better connect the community, and I'll continue being an advocate for this project. https://t.co/InZkIEjADm — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS’s announcement of exoneration for simple marijuana possession makes sense in a nation where dozens of states have already legalized it. Now let’s make sense out of fed marijuana banking restrictions & barriers to medical research, which are impossible to explain. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

How can we possibly show our national appreciation to the greedy American oil giants who have decided to team up with the Saudi royal family & Vladimir Putin and raise their prices in the face of inflation? Washington pols should stop making excuses for this outrageous conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

For years, we’ve seen the same disturbing trends: kids getting hooked on e-cigs. This year is no different, with 2.5M kids—nearly 15% of high schoolers—vaping. Pleased to see @US_FDA cracking down on e-cigs most popular with kids, but more must be done. https://t.co/4EC2xUCPLY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm joining @MSNBC @Morning_Joe shortly to discuss the future of our nation's relationship with Saudi Arabia and the 5th Circuit's decision on DACA. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I applaud @POTUS's decision to pardon all prior Federal offenses of simple possession of marijuana & quickly review how the drug is scheduled under fed law. These are critical steps to making our system of justice fairer & undoing the harm caused by the failed "war on drugs." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This will improve service, safety, and efficiency, and I'm pleased I was able to work with @SenDuckworth and @RepCheri to secure language in the IIJA, making the outdated air traffic control tower eligible for federal funding. — PolitiTweet.org
