BREAKING: White supremacist violence is on the rise, but the Trump Administration has stopped tracking it as a separate category of domestic terrorism. Read my letter with @CoryBooker to AG Bill Barr on this outrage: https://t.co/lzY1hBJdqR — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @RepMikeQuigley, @marcorubio, @SenDuckworth, and @RepRooney to reintroduce a bill that can help cities better plan & prepare for urban flooding. This will only get worse and we have to act now. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2005 when I joined the Senate Leadership, R.D. became part of not just my Senate family, but my family. On behalf of myself, my staff, and my family, I want to thank him for his many years of service in the Capitol Police. https://t.co/e7W1CKCkla — PolitiTweet.org

Today we remember the 6 million Jews and many others murdered in the Holocaust. With a rise in anti-Semitism around the world, and the ongoing Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, we must call out these atrocities & hold those who perpetrate them accountable. #HolocaustRemembranceDay https://t.co/GFWxm7iyig — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see members of the Illinois Alliance of Fire Protection Districts yesterday. I heard more about challenges they face in the communities they serve, like securing the resources & training to fight the opioid epidemic. I will continue to support their work here in Congress. https://t.co/8UwvcAIOVj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Trump Admin’s brief arguing the ACA is unconstitutional is wildly wrong. This is a heartless effort to gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions & strip away health care from millions. Republicans should stand with Democrats against it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I think Attorney General Barr’s first responsibility is to our law and to the Constitution. Apparently he believes his first responsibility is to the President on a political basis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I believe Attorney General Barr should step aside from the 14 ongoing criminal investigations referred to DOJ from Special Counsel Mueller. I don't think he has the objectivity that we should expect from an AG who has the authority over these investigations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I discussed the @Arsenal_Island with LTG McConville, nominated to be Chief of Staff of the @USARMY. We will continue to ensure the men and women of the Arsenal are prepared and supported here in Congress. https://t.co/LiIjDicLOe — PolitiTweet.org

Thinking about all Illinoisans who have been affected by another round of severe flooding. Be safe today and heed warnings from local first responders and law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with @ActingSecDef Shanahan that DOD “really need[s] to get back to our primary missions.” This border assignment and diversion of DOD resources for the President’s almighty wall makes it harder for our troops. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Introduced the Choose Medicare Act today w/ @SenDuckworth, which gives individuals and employers the option to obtain Medicare, while protecting the program for today’s seniors. If people want a public health insurance plan, they should have that choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

At today's hearing, I told AG Barr that his actions surrounding the Mueller report have left me wondering what he really thinks his role is as AG. So far, he's acted more like the president's personal attorney and not the nation's top law enforcement officer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm gravely concerned that the 14 criminal referrals from Special Counsel Mueller related to the investigation are under the supervision & control of AG Barr. He's virtually disqualified himself to be the kind of person we can expect to stand back & make sure justice is served. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Barr said an AG shouldn't show any political favoritism. He did exactly that with the March 24th letter. He did exactly that with the press conference before the release of the Mueller report. It's inconsistent with his promise to the American people & to the Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/vFh1OJV1Rj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

AG Barr has whitewashed the Mueller report. I believe it's clear he took the report's findings and twisted them politically to the benefit of the President. That isn't Barr's role as Attorney General, and I don't believe he served the cause of justice. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be on @CNN soon to share my thoughts headed into today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Barr. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve introduced a bill in the Senate that would strengthen our efforts to combat domestic terrorism by white supremacists. We need to address this growing national security threat. https://t.co/pDENW1iJqU — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another devastating school shooting, this one at UNC Charlotte. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. Gun violence in America is an epidemic and it affects our communities every single day. Congress must summon the courage to pass meaningful reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Consumers don’t deserve to be preyed upon by scammers that are just trying to undermine someone’s personal privacy and financial information. It’s time to put an end to this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In 2016, 22 million Americans lost more than $9.5 billion to robocall scams that mainly target the most vulnerable in society, like senior citizens, immigrants, and people living with disabilities. Illinoisans received more than 183 million robocalls alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Robocalls are out of control, and it’s time we put an end to these scammers. Introduced a bill today that would give consumers renewed power in the fight against robocalls. https://t.co/GRrvi4JjFQ — PolitiTweet.org
