I met with the @verainstitute today to discuss ways to reduce the use of solitary confinement. The overuse of solitary violates human rights and wastes taxpayer dollars. Congress should pass my Solitary Confinement Reform Act to restrict this inhumane practice. https://t.co/J2ZVCzdi9h — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is returning us to the failed Cuba polices of the previous half century. This will once again allow the Castro regime to absurdly blame U.S. policy for its own glaring failures. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, Leader McConnell and Senate Republicans need to step up and lead. Let’s not come up with excuses. Let’s come up with answers. Let’s make the American Dream and Promise Act the law of the land. #DreamAndPromiseNow — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to be on the House floor today as the Democratic-led chamber debated & passed the American Dream & Promise Act. Hundreds of thousands of young people who grew up in this country are counting on us to solve the #DACA crisis President Trump created. #DreamAndPromiseNow — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Senate’s passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. And yet, a century later, we’re still fighting to protect women’s rights. Our work is far from over. https://t.co/SXM57fI1yY — PolitiTweet.org

This bill is the first Senate Judiciary Committee legislation to pass the Senate in response to Russia’s attack on our democracy. It’s a positive step, but Leader McConnell must do more to protect one of the most important pillars of our democracy – fair and credible elections. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Last night, the Senate passed the DETER Act, a bipartisan bill I introduced with @LindseyGrahamSC that will help prevent Russia and other hostile regimes from disrupting our elections. The bill bars foreigners who interfere in our elections from entering our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Under Leader McConnell, the Senate is considering partisan, controversial lifetime appointments to the federal courts and virtually nothing else. He has created a legislative graveyard. It does not have to be this way. https://t.co/FXBMeFnVri — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke to IEMA Acting Director Tate-Nadeau about historic flooding throughout IL. This will no doubt be tough on families, farmers & local businesses, but I’m committed to helping our state recover any way I can. Thanks to the first responders for their bravery during this time. — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation’s epidemic of gun violence claimed 8 lives & wounded more than 40 in Chicago this past weekend alone. Thankful for the efforts of first responders & praying for the families impacted by more senseless gun violence. It’s past time for the Senate to vote on gun reform. — PolitiTweet.org

What I saw at El Paso Del Norte Processing Center in April has haunted me ever since & is detailed vividly in today’s IG report. President Trump’s response to this is threats and cruelty that only make the situation worse for the migrants and our nation. https://t.co/tBJJvp4h3d — PolitiTweet.org

.@Cubs Almora is right. MLB should extend the nets from pole to pole. Fans are defenseless and players have no way to control foul balls. It’s up to the owners. Extend the net before another fan is hurt. https://t.co/ktcj4Q0oz4 — PolitiTweet.org
