When I sat down with @ILFarmBureau, they told me how the President’s unpredictable trade strategies are hurting IL farmers. I’ve never seen them so worried. It’s time for Pres. Trump to stop playing games with our biggest agricultural markets, and let our farmers succeed again. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Administration’s plan to open up the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration is shortsighted and dangerous. We should be doing everything we can to protect our precious natural resources, not the opposite. https://t.co/ZdJzHdlbZz — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump's plan to pay for his ineffective border wall: Divert $3.6B from 127 military construction projects across 26 states. Take $558M away from schools for military children. Skillfully negotiate $0 from Mexico. Promises made, promises kept - right? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
There is an estimated 58,000 college and university students facing homelessness across the country. We must do better by our students in providing the resources they need to gain a high quality education. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It was great to talk with college students and leadership from @DePaulUSA to learn more about Dax House, which provides housing and services for homeless and housing-insecure students at @DePaulU. https://t.co/NN1vKnEliI — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Diverting military funds to a border boondoggle has consequences. Why is President Trump putting a campaign promise ahead of our national security? It is time for my Republican colleagues to speak out & stop the President's overreach. — PolitiTweet.org

The @EPA has given 81 waivers to oil refineries, ruining demand for ethanol and biodiesel, and destroying markets for corn and soybean farmers. I’m joining my @SenateDems colleagues in calling on the EPA to end this practice immediately. https://t.co/jGEyAtIlzN — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad to see that progress has been made – @DEAHQ is lowering opioid quotas for the 4th year in a row. We must ensure patients can access needed meds, but I commend DEA for reining in Big Pharma’s insatiable demand to flood the market with addictive painkillers. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
With @DEAHQ approval, Pharma put 13 billion opioid doses on the market in 2017—enough for every adult American to have a 3-week prescription. @SenJohnKennedy & I put into law that DEA must consider the public health & overdose risks when setting quotas for these powerful drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress has a responsibility to step up and provide humanitarian protection to the Bahamian people in their time of greatest need. That's why I’m joining @SenatorMenendez and @SenateDems to introduce the Bahamas Temporary Protected Status of 2019. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We’ve all seen the heartbreaking images from the Bahamas – homes turned into rubble; no access to food or clean water; families that have lost everything. The Trump Admin’s decision to deny TPS to the Bahamas is heartless, but sadly, not surprising. America is better than this. — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the leadership shown by the State of Illinois to address the retirement security crisis. The Illinois Secure Choice Program is projected to help 1.2 million workers save for the future. https://t.co/5mOP2aeux8 — PolitiTweet.org

This comes on the heels of the White House’s decision to also take away $770M in funding from European military construction projects meant to push back on Russia’s influence in the region. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Last night, White House released its hold on $250M that Congress had appropriated in FY19 to support Ukraine. However WH's longstanding hold may still have the effect of denying Ukraine these funds, as DoD can’t answer whether or not funds can be spent before they expire on 9/30. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
At today’s Senate Appropriations Committee markup, I offered an amendment to require the Trump Administration to spend the additional aid to Ukraine that Congress approved in this funding bill. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I’m proud to cosponsor the #WorkingFamilies Tax Relief Act alongside @SenSherrodBrown, @SenatorBennet, and @RonWyden. Hardworking American families deserve a tax code that works for them and not just the wealthy few. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
This move – now sanctioned by GOP Senators – to bypass Congress in order to divert these funds is unacceptable. Unless Congress can stand up & defend its role as defined by our Constitution, I fear that our work will be undermined by this President & by future Administrations. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today, I introduced a budget amendment with @SenatorLeahy that would have stopped the diversion of military funds to the President’s ineffective border wall. Senate Republicans voted it down in a party-line vote, 15-16. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
According to our Constitution, Congress holds the power of the purse – not the President. When Congress appropriates funds, we should believe that it actually means something – that no President, Republican or Democrat, can simply ignore us for their own selfish purposes. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Proud to cosponsor the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which Congress should pass as soon as possible to express U.S. support for the democratic aspirations of the people of Hong Kong. https://t.co/BV5isCqIRa — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday’s e-cigarette flavor ban out of @US_FDA was welcome news, but they should have acted years ago to get these flavors and illegal devices off the market. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
In my meeting today with @FDACommissioner, I wanted to convey a clear message: #VapingTargetsKids. Nationwide, 5 million children are vaping today – more than 1 in 4 high schoolers - and it’s because of JUUL and mint/fruit/candy flavors like unicorn milk and gummy bear. https://t.co/8RbIQJ8mSt — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the Illinoisans from @GrowthEnergy for presenting me with the Fueling Growth Award for my ethanol support. EPA snuck 81 waivers to oil refineries despite record profits, which closed 15 ethanol plants, hitting 2,500 rural jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Educating our nation’s students is a responsibility we cannot afford to take lightly. Wonderful to sit down today with @janicejackson, CEO of @ChiPubSchools, to talk education policy, the Chicago HEAL initiative, and ending youth vaping. https://t.co/tIWMcC1BXJ — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t allow President Trump and his team of anti-immigrant zealots in the White House to ignore Congress in making these harmful cuts. Read my letter with @SenFeinstein here: https://t.co/TXrdCShZnH — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
For decades, the United States has provided safe haven to the world’s most vulnerable refugees. The Trump Admin. is seeking to bypass Congress to end this long-standing bipartisan tradition & once again drastically cut the number of refugees we'll accept. https://t.co/79rMclEXSe — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It is critical that the @USGAO investigate the Trump Administration’s land grab, and I’m glad that they will be looking into this matter. https://t.co/I1BLeXOfOj — PolitiTweet.org
