This rule is another Trump-DeVos giveaway to their for-profit college cronies at the expense of defrauded student borrowers. It’s time for Congress to stand up for students. https://t.co/yAGcL6GxUA — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence took 7 lives and injured 34 more in Chicago over Labor Day weekend. Senator McConnell must not hold up the House-passed, commonsense gun safety legislation any longer. This has to be our top priority in the Senate this fall. https://t.co/2de5j86kh4 — PolitiTweet.org

On Labor Day, we should take a moment during our holiday celebrations to honor the legacy of the American workers who came before us. With grit and determination, they built a safer and more equitable workplace for all. Happy Labor Day! — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Another tragic mass shooting, and my heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. We must take meaningful action to implement common sense gun safety measures at the federal level. That has to be our main priority in the Senate this fall. https://t.co/ChstC1Xsbr — PolitiTweet.org

The shooting in Odessa, Texas yesterday is a tragedy that is far too familiar in American life these days. My heart breaks for the victims and their families. We must come together as a nation to stop this senseless violence. — PolitiTweet.org

John’s word is good and he has worked effectively to serve the most expansive Congressional district in our state. I wish him the best in his retirement. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepShimkus and I have worked on many projects together, recently on expanding the fine work at @ScottAFB and establishing a bipartisan approach to filling judicial vacancies. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The federal government must be an engaged partner in expanding economic opportunity. That’s why I introduced the HERO for At-Risk Youth Act and the Creating Pathways for Youth Employment Act to increase federal resources for employment and job training. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Creating job opportunities for teens is one of the best ways to invest in communities struggling with poverty & violence. With programs like Lumity & the Chicago HEAL Initiative, we can uplift communities by addressing the root causes of violence. https://t.co/FYzROxOmXE — PolitiTweet.org

The law states that Ukraine shall receive this important security assistance. The President can’t rewrite the law just to help his Russian friends. Stopping this important aid undermines the security of the Ukrainian people and the constitutional role of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Without this funding, Ukraine cannot continue developing its defensive capabilities and democratic institutions, as both are necessary to fend off the Kremlin’s continued onslaughts. Any delay would be a boon to Russia and Putin - something the President is surely aware of. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
There is long-held, bipartisan support in Congress for increasing military assistance to Ukraine. Especially since 2014, as they have faced significant and continued military, political, and economic pressure from Russia. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
This is going to put Ukraine’s long-term stability at risk. President Trump must direct DOD to obligate these funds immediately - there’s no reason to delay. Unless, of course, he’s yet again acting at the behest of his favorite Russian dictator & good friend, Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Pres. Trump broke his E15 promise to farmers. By issuing numerous secret waivers to big oil companies that allow them to mix less ethanol into their gasoline, the President is driving down the demand for the soybeans & corn that these farmers rely on. https://t.co/diJANVQDWv — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The Trump Admin’s Remain in Mexico policy is a betrayal of American values and will only further instability in Mexican border cities. I joined my @SenateDems colleagues in demanding an end to this short-sighted and inhumane policy. https://t.co/r9gSxyf5cO — PolitiTweet.org

This is a start, but if @US_FDA was doing their job in the first place, it wouldn't be necessary. Vaping companies like JUUL are blatantly targeting our nation’s children with their dangerous and addictive products. It has to stop. https://t.co/W66Rzsn4ZF — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, the entire Illinois Congressional Delegation came together in support of @GovPritzker’s request for federal assistance to help the State recover from this year’s severe flooding. We stand ready to assist in whatever capacity we can. https://t.co/O6bQ215Si9 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Marketing addictive products to kids. Calling their products safe, despite evidence to the contrary. Sound familiar? Big Vape is taking a page right out of Big Tobacco’s playbook. @US_FDA needs to do its job and tell the public the truth about e-cigs. https://t.co/aWfmf1t0Ji — PolitiTweet.org

Deporting children with cancer is about as low as you can sink. This is yet another step in the Trump Administration’s heartless campaign to use immigration to divide us. But I have faith in the American people - we are a kind and generous nation and we will reject this cruelty. — PolitiTweet.org

How is punishing the children of American troops Making America Great? These are the sons and daughters of the brave men and women who are dedicating their lives to keeping our nation safe. They have every right to be born United States citizens. https://t.co/yooKd611iq — PolitiTweet.org

With Tropical Storm Dorian bearing down on Puerto Rico, the Trump Admin is raiding millions of dollars of disaster relief funds so they can detain more immigrants. Putting Americans at risk to serve the President’s anti-immigrant agenda is beyond the pale. https://t.co/kw3w6gtIao — PolitiTweet.org

He gathered warring Senators for his annual Georgia bbq lunch and our differences disappeared slathered in sauce. He showed inspiring courage fighting Parkinson’s, often moving his broken body on the Senate floor by sheer force of will. He is one of our best and I will miss him. — PolitiTweet.org

Nationwide, there are now nearly 200 cases of critical lung disease linked to vaping, including one death in Illinois. And yet the @US_FDA is doing absolutely nothing about it. What will it take for them to act? https://t.co/yIPUIyhTDo — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
No nation as advanced as the US should have new moms & infants dying at this rate. Many of these deaths are often preventable with the right intervention & health care. With a new $450,000 grant from @CDCgov, the @IDPH can continue to invest in maternal & postpartum health care. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
EVENING READ: On average, Illinois loses 73 women to pregnancy-related deaths each year – a tragedy disproportionally affecting women of color. Pleased to see IL enact new legislation to help prevent maternal deaths & reduce racial disparities in outcomes. https://t.co/OnPDFoFRnv — PolitiTweet.org
