Breonna Taylor should be alive today. My hope is that today's federal civil rights charges bring us closer to justice and accountability for her death. We will never stop saying her name. — PolitiTweet.org

The dual threats of domestic terrorism and hate crimes are heightened by access to firearms. We saw this one month ago in my home state of Illinois. We have a lot of ground to cover, and I thank FBI Director Wray for appearing before @JudiciaryDems today. — PolitiTweet.org

In the face of one of the greatest transatlantic security threats in a generation, we are sending a clear message to Putin: the NATO alliance is stronger than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With Russia’s outrageous actions in Ukraine and ongoing threats to others in Europe, the importance of NATO couldn’t be more apparent. Last night, the Senate overwhelmingly approved NATO membership for Finland and Sweden, adding two essential democratic partners to the alliance. — PolitiTweet.org

After today’s meeting, I’m more hopeful than ever that with Director Colette Peters, AG Garland chose the right leader to clear out the bureaucratic rot & reform BOP. It is a tall order, but on today’s call, I promised to work with Ms. Peters to help her succeed in this new role. https://t.co/e6ckvKL2FQ — PolitiTweet.org

This is what the Inflation Reduction Act is all about. Taking on Big Pharma, addressing the climate emergency, reducing the deficit, and creating good-paying American jobs. https://t.co/aU5Q2KfM0A — PolitiTweet.org

The "Stop the Steal" campaign has gotten out of hand. And the fact that my Republican colleagues don’t want to talk about this is really troubling. If we are going to have an election process we can trust, Senators have to step up and say the Big Lie is a lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

What happened last night in Kansas should send a clear and unyielding message to every Republican lawmaker who wants to impose a strict government mandate designed to interfere with reproductive care: Americans want the freedom to make their own private medical decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

We all saw the #January6thHearing when GA election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss recounted being at the center of Pres. Trump’s cries of election fraud. The threats and harassment they endured are unacceptable—and show the poison the Big Lie has inserted into our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to seeing @POTUS sign the PACT Act into law. This vote should’ve been accomplished last week, but Senate Rs chose to use vets as pawns in a political game. I hope my colleagues will think twice before stalling a bill to improve vets access to health care again. — PolitiTweet.org

You may love them on the big screen or the basketball court, but you shouldn’t rely on your favorite celebrities and athletes when it comes to financial advice. If something sounds is too good to be true, it probably is. https://t.co/ZpFryjXtdq — PolitiTweet.org

Nichelle Nichols was a trailblazer and great Illinoisan. We may never know just how many young people she inspired to chase their dreams—but the impact she made was undeniably immense. May she rest in peace. https://t.co/9l1gFI6l5X — PolitiTweet.org

The success of Operation Allies Welcome and Uniting for Ukraine have proven that our country is fully capable of bringing vulnerable displaced people to safety in the U.S. The President must expeditiously and safely admit all qualified refugees who are waiting to be resettled. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm joining @DonLemonTonight to discuss my call for the Attorney General to take over the investigation into missing Secret Service & DHS leadership text messages related to January 6, as well as the successful U.S. drone strike of Al-Qaeda's leader. Be sure to tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Putin is trying to recreate the horrors of Stalin’s tyranny in an effort to silence Russians who want democracy or criticize the fiasco his war in Ukraine has unleashed. https://t.co/sO5KaVTRHY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Republicans will get a second chance to vote on the PACT Act this week. I hope they do the right thing and don’t block it out of spite for a second time. Sick veterans don't need petty partisan bickering. They need access to the health care they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Why I’m a Willson Contreras fan no matter what: After the World Series win, he came to see me and gave me an autographed bat as a thank you for helping his family. Remembering to say thank you is always classy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

When it comes to environmental restoration, the Chicago River’s South Branch has received the short end of the stick for far too long. Glad I was able to play a part in securing $1 million in new federal funding to help change that. https://t.co/neWgZI149E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Torture is the tool of despots and dictators—not free nations. @SenatorLeahy and I are calling on the Biden administration to unequivocally refuse to utilize any and all evidence derived from torture. — PolitiTweet.org

Credit card swipe fees inflate the prices that consumers pay for groceries & gas. Injecting real competition into the credit card network market—which is dominated by the Visa-Mastercard duopoly—will help reduce fees & hold down costs for Main Street merchants & their customers. — PolitiTweet.org
