.@US_FDA continues to bungle the regulation of e-cigarettes. Meanwhile thousands of our kids are becoming vaping addicts. The tobacco lawyers are running rings around the FDA. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to learn the truth about crypto. Let’s start with the obscene amounts of electricity needed to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Families and businesses in America will pay the price for crypto’s mining ventures. — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure to speak at @Thresholdschi and discuss the $1M in federal funding I secured to expand its mental health & trauma services for young adults. I look forward to seeing their growth thanks to this funding. https://t.co/Y77RHEhrsz — PolitiTweet.org

History will not judge today’s Senate kindly if it fails to take any meaningful steps to deal with the climate crisis. We are leaving our children an increasingly dangerous planet to live on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Seize the day! If we can get relief from the spiraling cost of prescription drugs facing American families, take it. Is Republican Senate Leader McConnell really going to oppose our efforts to bring down the cost of prescription drugs? Bring it on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Indiana borders my home state of Illinois, and while our health care providers are ready to care for IN women traveling to seek essential care, this model legislation seeks to punish anyone who helps them seek this care—even as abortion remains legal here. That is beyond immoral. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@US_FDA has been plagued by one failure after another—from opioids to vaping to infant formula. That's why @rosadelauro and I are introducing a bill to transfer FDA’s food responsibilities to a new agency that we hope will have more success in protecting Americans’ food. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s no secret that BOP has been plagued by misconduct, but I am hopeful that AG Garland and Deputy AG Monaco have chosen the right leader to clear out the bureaucratic rot and reform BOP. It is a tall order, and I look forward to working with Ms. Peters to help her succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While Republicans push draconian abortion bans, this week, @JudiciaryDems and @HELPCmteDems held the first hearings on a post-Roe America to discuss the grim reality patients and health care providers are facing and steps we should consider to fight for reproductive freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Women will die without Roe. Our health care system will be strained. We already have a heartbreakingly high maternal mortality rate—predicted to get worse with abortion bans. The cruelty of extreme anti-abortion lawmakers and judges puts the health & safety of Americans at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Americans deserve to know what is in their dietary supplements. I’m leading a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to bring improved transparency and safety to the dietary supplement market. My thoughts in @thehill: https://t.co/YtO3wJAhD3 — PolitiTweet.org

.@US_FDA raised alarm about the threat to America’s kids from vaping synthetic nicotine. So I led a bipartisan effort to close this loophole and provide FDA tools to protect public health. But the deadline is today to remove unauthorized e-cigs from the market. Will FDA act? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Black, Brown, indigenous, & frontline & environmental justice communities have been raising red flags on industrial polluters for generations. Our response has been too little, too late. As the WV v EPA decision demonstrates, our system still fails them. https://t.co/glNyLkofDZ — PolitiTweet.org

We know the Republican plan: win control of Congress and impose a federal ban on abortion. Democrats have a different plan: protect your rights by enshrining into law a federal statutory right to an abortion. Politicians have no business making this decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every American deserves to make their own decisions about when and how to start their family. But Republicans have decided they would rather put that control in the hands of politicians. Today's hearing is the first of many steps Democrats will take to fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

“Engineered to the specs of freedom & independence.” An AR-15 with high-capacity magazine—the same type of rifle the Highland Park shooter used to fire nearly 90 rounds into a crowd—is what some gun manufacturers want to sell you as the epitome of American freedom & independence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Kids like Cooper shouldn’t have to live their lives in fear of being gunned down at parades or slaughtered in their classrooms. But they do. And unless we stop the proliferation of military-style assault weapons in our communities, more tragedies will inevitably happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is Cooper Roberts. He is 8 years old, loves playing baseball and soccer, and was one of the 46 people injured during the Highland Park shooting. His twin brother Luke and mom Keely were also injured. But Cooper was hurt the worst—and he may never walk again. https://t.co/uWhvwa88aK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Following a difficult 4th of July in Illinois, the Senate is back in session today and I am on the floor discussing the tragedy in Highland Park, remembering the victims and calling for action on assault weapons. Watch live here: https://t.co/I1DBhqgViX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Joined @POTUS & hundreds of Americans affected by gun violence to commemorate the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act today. While this bill is an important step in the right direction, it has to be the beginning—and not the end—of progress on gun safety reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Joined @FoxNewsSunday this morning to discuss the Highland Park shooting and gun safety reform. The bottom line is this: there are millions of military-style assault weapons in America. The gun lobby has made a lot of money as a result. But it has not made us safer. https://t.co/qIYeHy0uor — PolitiTweet.org
