I’ll be joining dozens of my @SenateDems colleagues on the Senate floor tonight to discuss the impact of gun violence and the many actions the Senate could take to address this crisis. You can follow along here. https://t.co/qIHpbpuQaG — PolitiTweet.org

I had the chance to sit down with @KSHCF founder Kimberly Wade today, who shared her story about her son Jonny’s fight with pediatric brain cancer. No family should have to go through that – I’m immensely grateful for the work of Kimberly and her remarkable organization. https://t.co/kDrneIMsgh — PolitiTweet.org

The President’s diversion of funds from our military to his ineffective border wall is not only harmful to our armed service members & their families, it’s also damaging the constitutional authority of Congress - especially when it comes to the power of the purse. It has to stop. https://t.co/NJM3faLzj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congress must come together, on both sides of the aisle, to reassert our obligations under the Constitution and to provide our military families with certainty that they haven’t been forgotten in the midst to the run-up to the 2020 campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Pres. Trump unilaterally withdrew from Iran Nuclear Agreement & has escalated tensions w/ Iran ever since. Iran is a bad actor in many ways, but edging into military confrontation could lead to the nightmare scenario we know well from our never ending wars in Iraq & Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Locked and loaded? President Trump’s threat against Iran should be understood. The United States has no security agreement requiring us to defend Saudi Arabia. Any military action by the U.S. requires Congressional authorization. — PolitiTweet.org

This is now the 7th death from vaping. This deadly epidemic is not going to go away on its own. @US_FDA must act quickly on these dangerous and addictive products. Any delay will lead to more lives lost and lungs destroyed. https://t.co/ysFl141cLk — PolitiTweet.org

232 years ago, our Founders signed the U.S. Constitution. Today, we celebrate this achievement while also reflecting on the progress we have made and the ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union. #ConstitutionDay — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to stand with @ChicagosMayor, @ChiPubSchools CEO @janicejackson, and other leaders as we fight the youth vaping epidemic. #VapingTargetsKids and we must take immediate action to educate our children so they are not sentenced to a lifetime of addiction. https://t.co/CghM8bue9w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

9 people were killed in Chicago this weekend, victims of the gun violence epidemic plaguing our nation. The House did its job & passed commonsense gun safety reform over 200 days ago. GOP Senators are failing the American people by not holding a vote. https://t.co/hpPSfGgebd — PolitiTweet.org

During #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate the proud heritage and traditions of Hispanic & Latino culture in Illinois and across the United States. We are a nation of immigrants, made immeasurably stronger by the vast & historic contributions of these communities to our society. https://t.co/CfHvOCXu4H — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It has now been 200 days since the House did its job and passed enhanced background checks - something the majority of Americans support. The Senate must follow suit. Leader McConnell, call a vote on this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Had a great time yesterday at the 22nd Annual #ChicagoFootballClassic celebrating the proud legacy of our nation’s HBCUs. We must ensure these historical institutions have the funding they need to continue educating our leaders of the future. #HamptonVSHoward https://t.co/1gn2RfGIEf — PolitiTweet.org

Please tell me President Trump’s latest tweet does not mean he has second thoughts about vaping. Five million kids are already hooked & need a President who’s on their side. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I sent a letter to @Surgeon_General today, asking him to develop a national plan to respond to the youth vaping epidemic. After years of @US_FDA inaction, 5 million children are vaping today—many of whom are now addicted to nicotine. We must provide them the help they need. https://t.co/DDOmN8vfjb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congress must maintain its Constitutional Power of the Purse. Today I sent a letter with my @SenateDems colleagues to ensure that any funding measure for DHS prevents the Trump Admin from overstepping its authority to unilaterally transfer those funds to ICE or CBP. https://t.co/LfpbuPkHTY — PolitiTweet.org
