I'm on the Senate floor, urging Senators to support my Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. #DTPA Watch live: https://t.co/FcH3zl8Uue — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Buffalo. El Paso. Poway. Pittsburgh. On and on. In every corner of our nation, communities are bonded in the trauma and devastation that follows violent acts of white supremacist terrorism. It's time we finally take action with the urgency these victims deserve and pass my #DTPA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m grateful to the President for working with both the civil rights community and law enforcement to craft this measure. However, a set of policies will not erase generations of systemic racism. We all must continue to actively work to build a more just and equitable America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The House did its job in 2020 and passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Unsurprisingly, Senate Republicans refused to join Democrats to pass meaningful police reform legislation. So today, President Biden took action and signed this important Executive Order. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Two years ago, George Floyd died on the streets of Minneapolis with the knee of a police officer on his neck—an image that haunts me to this day. The injustice of his killing is undeniable. And so is the fact that systemic racism continues to plague America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am once again live on the Senate floor, calling—begging—for my Republican colleagues to wake up and help Democrats do something about the scourge of gun violence in this nation. Watch: https://t.co/eo0BjBQQfk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Straw-purchased guns are involved in the deaths of far too many Americans—including the murder of CPD Officer Ella French. Once confirmed, I look forward to working closely with Steven Dettelbach and @ATFHQ to crack down on the straw purchasing of firearms across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today @JudiciaryDems is considering the nomination of Steve Dettelbach to lead @ATFHQ. The very least Republicans can do in the wake of another tragedy is work with Democrats to confirm this highly qualified nominee. ATF has been leaderless since 2015. That needs to change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Yesterday, 19 innocent children and 2 teachers were gunned down in an elementary school in Texas. I wish I could say something like this had never happened before. Or will never happen again. But I know better. And until the Republican Party decides to care, nothing will change. https://t.co/1uXMDo1N4Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I implore – beg – my Republican colleagues to join Democrats in finally making changes to our gun laws to help prevent Americans from re-living this gun tragedy far too often. We cannot continue to sit on our hands and allow innocent lives to be lost. Congress must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today’s news is heartbreaking and tragic.  Fourteen young lives and a teacher gone far too soon.  My heart is with the families and friends of these lives lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

These former ATF Directors and leaders are rallying behind Steve Dettelbach because they know he is more than adequately prepared to lead the Bureau. ATF hasn’t had a Senate confirmed nominee since 2015. It’s time we get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I'm joining @RepDannyDavis and @RepUnderwood in calling on @DeptVetAffairs to begin helping defrauded veteran student borrowers in Illinois through the Veterans Rapid Retraining Assistance Program Restoration and Recovery Act as soon as possible.

Last week, the House passed a bill to address the infant formula shortage. 190 Republicans objected. I’m live on the floor calling on Senate Republicans to avoid that kind of hypocrisy and join Dems to pass this bill ASAP. Watch: https://t.co/a9SJcEqbaw — PolitiTweet.org

It was an honor speaking at @Augustana_IL College’s Commencement Ceremony. I have great hope for the future generation of problem solvers and peacemakers. Congratulations Class of 2022. https://t.co/xQINLy8z85 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

ATF has not had a Senate-confirmed Director since 2015. Mr. Dettelbach is a highly respected former U.S. Attorney and career prosecutor with decades of experience countering extremism, including domestic terrorism. He is well equipped to lead this agency. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The census recount should give pause to all of the critics who were so quick to peddle the Illinois desertion scenario. We have our challenges (ever read about the Chicago Fire?) but we need to face them honestly and not spread a tale of gloom and doom. https://t.co/2C0xa5mGSE — PolitiTweet.org

My mother, who escaped the tyranny of the Russian Czar in 1911, would have been so proud to know that I am #257 of the 1,000 officially banned from Russia by Vladimir Putin. God save Ukraine! https://t.co/ztaDLc1OIB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We can’t keep repeating the same mistakes and then saying that no one is to blame when civilians are killed. We must do better than this. That's why I support @SenWarren's bills to overhaul civilian harm prevention and transparency. https://t.co/cr1xIjvbnT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Praying for the victims of yet another devastating mass shooting, which happened last night in Chicago. All of us must do our part to reduce the gun violence that plagues communities across America. We must not give up. https://t.co/EWe6KXBR3D — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I joined Gamaliel of Metro Chicago and Illinois Catholic ministry leaders to discuss immigration policy and its impact on our local communities. I commend their dedication in supporting and uplifting immigrant communities in Chicago. https://t.co/0Ej2oze9So — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Buffalo is not the first time Discord nor Twitch have been used to fuel hatred and domestic violent extremism. It is essential that Congress understand what social media platforms are doing to address efforts by violent extremists to recruit, plan, and amplify their attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the face of an unprecedented pandemic, IL small businesses have showed great resilience while Democrats worked persistently to provide them with the aid they needed. Disappointed but not surprised my Republican colleagues blocked vital relief for small businesses yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org
