The Dream Act has the support of a bipartisan majority, but a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers has been filibustered 5 times. What we need now is more Senators who are willing to step up and speak up for solving immigration. — PolitiTweet.org

Sending my deepest sympathies to @RepCasten and his family after the tragic loss of his daughter, Gwen. I will keep you in my prayers during this heartbreaking time. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm fortunate to represent a strong Puerto Rican community in IL that supports a democratic process to determine Puerto Rico’s future. With the Puerto Rican Self-Determination Act that I've cosponsored, 3M Puerto Rican residents would have a chance to decide their own future. — PolitiTweet.org

Maduro and his criminal enablers continue their cowardly efforts to prevent a democratic and free Venezuela. I condemn this barbaric attack on Interim President Guaidó. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Following last month’s disappointing decision by @Boeing to move their headquarters from Chicago, @SenDuckworth and I met with Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun today to express our disappointment and urge him to stick by his commitment to maintain a strong presence in Illinois. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We've been elected to the United States Senate to respond to American crises. Though this agreement falls short of where I would like us to be, each of the elements in this bipartisan gun safety package has the potential to save lives. We should move forward on it without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

WATCH: I’m live on the Senate floor discussing the newly unveiled bipartisan gun safety reform framework and calling on the Dept. of Education to finally deliver student loan relief to defrauded Westwood Colleges students. https://t.co/mI6gSFrOFx — PolitiTweet.org

Saddened to learn about the passing of Jim Ryan. Sending my prayers and condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/ZI3d7oS5tN — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts are with the family and friends of Machesney Park’s Nathan Carlson, one of five Marines tragically killed on Wednesday in a training accident. https://t.co/T19i25fvEG — PolitiTweet.org

Joining @CNN @Acosta shortly to talk about the recently announced bipartisan proposal to help keep America’s children and communities safe from the gun violence epidemic. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This bipartisan package contains an important provision that will clamp down on these killer purchasers and hold those who break the law responsible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I have been pushing for tougher penalties to help reduce illicit gun trafficking and straw purchases, which fuel violent crime in Chicago and cities across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Chicago Police Officer Ella French lost her life last year to a convicted felon who was armed with a straw-purchased gun from across state lines. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Though this agreement falls short in this and other respects, it can and will make our nation safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I continue to believe military-style assault weapons that can shred the bodies of their victims have no place in civilian use—but we cannot let the perfect Congressional response be the enemy of the good. — PolitiTweet.org

Fox News’ spineless refusal to broadcast the January 6 Committee hearing is a new low in American journalism. Fair and balanced? More like fearful and biased. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @BillGates: Thank you @SenatorDurbin for the productive conversation on preparing for and preventing the next pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Patients are suffering because of these drastic price spikes. Congress must act and cap the price of Insulin at $35 a month and give Medicare the authority to negotiate drug prices on behalf of seniors and patients nationwide — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I joined officials from @ChooseMemorial and @siusom in Springfield to further discuss the need to cap the price of insulin and end the unacceptable price gouging of life-saving medicine. In some cases, the price of insulin has gone from $35 to over $300 https://t.co/afSEdFQTik — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After last night’s opening of the January 6 Committee, it is clear that Senator McConnell’s veto of a bipartisan commission was grounded in fear that the truth of that shameless day would anger Trump. History will not be kind to that brand of political cowardice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I was honored to speak this morning at the IL @VFWHQ’s 103rd Annual Illinois State Convention. I will continue to support the great work of veterans organizations like the VFW to pass the PACT Act ensuring we keep our promise to care for toxic-exposed veterans. https://t.co/O1BF4xto4H — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Special thanks to the January 6 Committee and especially Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger. Will the Illinois Republicans in our Congressional delegation stand by him or former President Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Hats off to the January 6 Committee for a professional and timely presentation of the role of former President Trump in the mob assault on our Capitol. Those of us who lived it want this infamous chapter in American history properly analyzed and preserved. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After my call to action with @SenDuckworth & @RepCheri, @JusticeOIG confirmed that it has launched an investigation into the deaths & allegations of serious abuse at USP Thomson. I am shaken by these reports. The IG must get to the bottom of these allegations immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 taught us that we must improve critical public health infrastructures and our global response cooperation before the next pandemic hits. We are in this together, and with global partners like @BillGates & @gatesfoundation, I hope we can address these challenges. https://t.co/83hwHdCbu6 — PolitiTweet.org
