Since 2016, I've been urging @usedgov to discharge the federal student loans of Illinoisans who were scammed out of a decent education by the predatory, for-profit Westwood College. Today, I urged @SecCardona again to finally erase the student debt of 3,600 deserving Illinoisans. https://t.co/hSW0Q5NoFq — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks nine months past the court-ordered deadline for @US_FDA to finish reviewing e-cigarettes. Yet, kid-friendly vapes like JUUL are still on the market. If Dr. Califf feels no urgency to follow the law and a court order to protect our kids, then he should step aside. — PolitiTweet.org

American families and small businesses facing economic hardship need Congress's help to get back on their feet. I look forward to President Biden signing the bill into law as soon as possible so they can have the tools they need to be successful. — PolitiTweet.org

Hearing Mr. Whitfield tell @JudiciaryDems about his mother just weeks after she was murdered by a white supremacist in Buffalo was a solemn but powerful moment. The lives of the Buffalo victims mattered. The Senate needs to start acting like it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every one of the Buffalo victims left behind loved ones who are grieving their loss. Garnell, son of Ruth Whitfield, is one of them. There are no words that will fill the void in his heart—but his willingness to honor Ruth's memory with action is a lesson in courage and love. https://t.co/2tff2vsjrE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed having the chance to meet with represenatives from @AMarch4OurLives today. Alongside dedicated organizations and activists like them, I will continue to push for the meaningful gun safety reform that will help save lives. https://t.co/ENAua3iQBW — PolitiTweet.org

Always enjoy having the opportunity to meet with @IllinoisStateU students when they come to Washington. https://t.co/7FMtbJM8tw — PolitiTweet.org

The safety of all Americans, including members of our judiciary and other public officials, is our highest priority. Violence, whether it springs from extremists on the right or left on the political spectrum, is never acceptable. https://t.co/tQAzAfhDTp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Last night, President Biden signed my Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program Restoration and Recovery Act into law. When I introduced this bill, it was with the goal of giving student veterans a second chance at education. I’m proud to have helped make that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Gun violence comes in many forms here in the U.S and it is going to take a lot of work to stop the violence. Enhanced background checks, limits on assault rifles, expanded trauma care, penalties for straw purchasing, the list goes on. You can count me in for all of it. https://t.co/4L1BtqAjGM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Humbling words from a brave Russian patriot languishing in Putin’s gulag. Recently, the Senate unanimously called for his and Alexei Navalny’s release—and we will not stop. https://t.co/xK4NW9Av2W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m live on the Senate floor discussing the Corinthian Colleges settlement and legislation we are considering on the Senate floor this week, the PACT Act. It would help veterans who were exposed to toxic chemicals during their service. Watch here: https://t.co/0hzQWswx3i — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

White supremacist violence has swept across America. And this trend raises the obvious question: Why is this threat getting worse? We cannot deny that hate has a big platform. And some media figures—like Tucker Carlson—are dragging racist conspiracy theories into the mainstream. — PolitiTweet.org

Had the chance to meet Uvalde native @McConaughey in DC today to discuss the horrific mass shooting at Robb Elementary as well as the larger problem of gun violence in America. We, like so many others, agree that gun safety reform is needed—I'll keep working to make that happen. https://t.co/ckCAItzwrR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The U.S. has had at least 246 mass shootings in the past 157 days. More than one a day. I’m live on the Senate floor, calling on Republicans to help Dems do something to stop the bloodshed. We will not escape the judgement of history if we fail. https://t.co/vnFIOzewzS — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: Pleased to learn that Burnett has stepped down as president of @UOPX following an Ed Dept inquiry. I commend @usedgov for proactively looking into Burnett's history scamming IL's Westwood College students out of an education and burying them in debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I joined local leaders at Stroger Hospital in Cook County today to discuss the devastating impacts of gun violence. Awareness is not enough. Congress must act on common sense reforms to close gaps in our gun laws and help protect our kids and communities from the next shooting. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I #WearOrange today in honor of Hadiya Pendleton from Chicago. Hadiya should be celebrating her 25th birthday this month. But like far too many Americans, her life was cut tragically short by gun violence. May she rest in peace. https://t.co/tukJpDfrLv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I #WearOrange in honor of the tens of thousands of Americans who are killed each year by gunfire – but awareness is not enough. I will continue doing everything I can in Washington and here in Illinois to keep our communities and our kids safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The damage inflicted by these assault weapons on human bodies is horrific. Congress must act on common sense reforms to close gaps in our gun laws and help protect our kids and our communities from the next shooting. — PolitiTweet.org
