Today I was joined by @ToniPreckwinkle and officials from Cook County Health to discuss the devastating impacts that gun violence has on victims and on communities. https://t.co/HIk6MWKzTK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Biden is right: How much more carnage are we willing to accept? No one law can prevent every act of violence. But how can we look at Uvalde, Buffalo, and Tulsa and conclude that our hands are tied? We must act to address our nation’s gun violence epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Currently, approximately 7.8 percent of BOP inmates are housed in a form of restricted housing. The Senate Judiciary Committee will soon hold a hearing on the continued overuse of solitary confinement and restricted housing in federal prison facilities, including USP Thomson. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If these reports prove accurate, this conduct almost certainly contravenes BOP policies, infringes on civil rights and possibly violates federal criminal laws. That's why I'm calling for an investigation into USP Thomson & announcing a @JudiciaryDems hearing on prison conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

As one of the 10 hospitals in the Chicago HEAL Initiative tackling the root causes of violence, Northwestern has committed to building up the local health care workforce & bringing high-quality care right to the community — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This afternoon I joined @chicagosmayor in announcing @NorthwesternMed’s major investment in a new health care facility in Bronzeville. Today’s announcement deepens NM’s commitment to the HEAL Initiative I launched to support our communities & improve health outcomes. https://t.co/4uhFndKYXr — PolitiTweet.org

A mass shooting at a hospital in Tulsa. A police officer shot in Chicago. Gun violence is an epidemic that is shattering lives and communities. We must do more to prevent it. For lawmakers, that means we must vote on reform. And we will. — PolitiTweet.org

It was great meeting @StateRepVella, @StateRepWest, and members of the Northwestern Illinois Building Trades in Rockford today to discuss federal funding for critical infrastructure in our state. Thanks to Sheet Metal Workers Local 219 for hosting https://t.co/9TyPkQlNYX — PolitiTweet.org

There is still much work to be done to restore the habitat of the Fox River. This crucial funding will provide much needed restoration. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I was joined in Elgin by @CongressmanRaja and local leaders to announce the $250,000 in federal funding I secured to complete the long-delayed feasibility study for the environmental restoration of the Fox River in Elgin https://t.co/4nCBrl3jaF — PolitiTweet.org

Today I visited the Family Peace Center in Rockford. The Center’s dedication and commitment to survivors of domestic violence has served nearly 1,000 people since it opened in July 2020. https://t.co/wSnV5HCrDK — PolitiTweet.org

That includes continuing to work with @SenJeffMerkley, @SenatorBaldwin, and @SenBooker to pass the Equality Act and ensure that federal civil rights laws explicitly protect LGBTQ Americans from discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

From #Stonewall to the daily courage of having #pride in who you are, I have no doubt the resiliency of the LGBTQ community will persist. And as Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I'm committed to doing my part to build a country where equality can be the lived reality for every American. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

From Florida silencing LGBTQ students, to Texas and other states targeting trans kids, the rights of LGBTQ Americans—and especially LGBTQ kids—are still under attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Happy #Pride2022 to the LGBTQ community in Illinois and across the country! #PrideMonth is rooted in challenging the status quo. We've made enormous strides in the past few decades, but until everyone can be who they are and love who they love, #Pride will always be a protest. https://t.co/ZLVvWYdG4y — PolitiTweet.org

Vladimir Kara-Murza is a fearless Russian patriot and leader for democracy. By passing this resolution, we honor his work and call for his immediate release, along with Alexei Navalny and so many other Russian political prisoners. https://t.co/VOpvrkcuNG — PolitiTweet.org

Today I visited @siusom to announce $2 million in new federal funding @SenDuckworth and I secured for SIU to help build a workforce that meets our evolving needs and provide quality health care to our rural communities. https://t.co/8EbQPoa87r — PolitiTweet.org

As we mourn those lost in the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, we face the reality that gun violence has now become the leading cause of death for American children & teens. Let that sink in. @JudiciaryDems will hold a hearing on June 15 focused on gun violence and kids. https://t.co/bSCx7Srf9L — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I joined a group of doctors & young leaders at @LurieChildrens to discuss the epidemic of gun violence & the toll this trauma has on our youth. Whether in Uvalde or Chicago, these shootings are a public health crisis. Congress must act on sensible investments & reforms. https://t.co/J7yKfQ8N04 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The insensitivity and deception of the FBI agents in this matter may not have been criminally actionable, but it was morally unforgivable. @JudiciaryDems will continue its oversight and legislative work in an effort to prevent such abuses in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Kissinger once again shows his twisted view of the world by calling on Ukraine to spare Putin the embarrassment of defeat. As Ukrainians fight and die, Kissinger worries about Putin’s feelings. I worry about the Ukrainian people who have paid for their nation in blood. — PolitiTweet.org
