The Durbin/Marshall Credit Card Competition Act is supported by a range of organizations, including @FMI_ORG, @NFIB, @NACSonline, @NRFnews, and @NationalGrocers. More on this new legislation: https://t.co/mkYTB6uNQV — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: Yesterday, Senator @RogerMarshallMD and I introduced the bipartisan Credit Card Competition Act of 2022, legislation that would enhance competition and choice in the credit card network market, which is currently dominated by the Visa-Mastercard duopoly. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m sending a letter today to Attorney General Garland asking him to step in and get to the bottom of what happened to these missing text messages and hold accountable those who are responsible. — PolitiTweet.org

The destruction of evidence that could be relevant to the investigation of the deadly attack on our Capitol is an extremely serious matter. Inspector General Cuffari’s failure to take immediate action makes clear that he should no longer be entrusted with this investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Any East St. Louis residents in need of assistance after this week’s heavy flooding can call @UnitedWaySTL at 2-1-1, @ulstl at (618) 274-1150, and @CLLestl at (618) 482-2950. https://t.co/xHqhAt6LMV — PolitiTweet.org

Hats off to Chris Manson of @OSFHealthCare in Peoria for his 20 ambulances being sent to Ukraine—lives will be saved. Glad that my office was able to contribute to this effort. https://t.co/wl0ZTGjzK1 — PolitiTweet.org

With this tool, decision-makers can better identify the most impactful climate actions on the local level & target resources more effectively. As the climate crisis exacerbates nat. disasters, communities will need this info to understand their risk exposure & plan accordingly. — PolitiTweet.org

When we vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, Senators will be forced to decide whether they believe we should act on climate change, lower prescription drug costs, reduce the deficit, and tackle inflation. I know where I stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Next week, @SenateDems will take major steps to reduce inflation, address the climate crisis, and make health care, especially prescription drugs, more affordable. It will also reduce the deficit, unlike the tax cuts for corporations that Republicans passed under Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Across IL, rural EMS agencies are first responders to community emergencies. But they need proper funding & a strong workforce. That’s why I passed the SIREN Act & am pleased to announce new funding for our state's rural EMS agencies. https://t.co/ccn87HoTMx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This legislation is a simple, good governance bill that will improve information sharing and coordination between FDA and PTO regarding prescription drugs—to the benefit of consumers. I thank @SenThomTillis for joining me in leading this bipartisan effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Despite the extensive flood damage in Southwest IL, it is unlikely we met the $20M population-based damage threshold for @FEMA assistance. This threshold should not disadvantage large states like Illinois—which is why @SenDuckworth & I introduced a bill to fix FEMA’s formula. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. Thankfully, I am fully vaccinated and double boosted and only experiencing minor symptoms. Consistent with CDC guidelines, I will quarantine and follow advice from my doctor while I continue to work remotely. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m joining my colleagues @SenWarren and @SenTinaSmith in sounding the alarm on this risky pursuit. https://t.co/kAP2nKIjRl — PolitiTweet.org

We should all agree that workplace retirement accounts are no place to gamble. Yet .@Fidelity, one of the largest 401(k) providers, wants to give plan sponsors the ability to expose plan participants to Bitcoin, a highly volatile and unregulated digital asset. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Right now, Republicans are playing political games with the lives of veterans who are suffering from exposure to Agent Orange and other toxic chemicals. This should have been a straightforward, easy vote. Instead, it failed. Senate Republicans should be ashamed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@ENERGY chose Illinois as one of five states to participate in this initiative to connect low-income customers to community solar programs. It has the potential to save Illinoisans nearly $300 million in electric bills and move our state one step closer to a clean energy future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Credit card swipe fees inflate the prices that consumers pay for groceries and gas. It’s time to inject real competition into the credit card network market, which is dominated by the Visa-Mastercard duopoly. https://t.co/a1XznxUpNN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It will also help American consumers and create good paying jobs right here in the United States. By passing this legislation, we are on track to kick-start a new generation of discoveries and I urge the House to pass it swiftly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

America needs to be at the forefront of innovation and scientific research once again. This once-in-a-generation, bipartisan bill makes strategic investments to boost our domestic supply chains and counter the threat posed by countries like China and Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Always a pleasure to speak with the @sikh_coalition. As ever, I am grateful for their continuing leadership on combatting hate violence, especially when it comes to attacks against houses of worship. — PolitiTweet.org

The January 6 Committee has answered many questions about that day in frightening detail. But above all else, it paints a portrait of a little man who cannot bring himself to accept reality. He is dragging his party—and perhaps most frighteningly, our democracy—down with him. https://t.co/hNirrBeWRt — PolitiTweet.org

I urge my colleagues to act and pass the BURMA Act to make sure the U.S. holds accountable Burma’s brutal military junta. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The brutal, inhumane execution of 4 innocent activists, handed down by an illegitimate court & junta shows that these criminals will do anything to instill fear in the people of Burma. They will not succeed. The Senate must act to aid the people of Burma. https://t.co/5idO3wlFjb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The daily toll of gun violence in America is devastating. And it’s not just in Chicago. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was a good first step, but we must do more, like closing gaps in our gun laws that allow guns—including assault weapons—to end up in dangerous hands. — PolitiTweet.org
