As the Senate votes to discharge Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination from Committee, it’s important to remember the historic nature of this moment. Judge Jackson is breaking down a wall that has stood for far too long. And she is inspiring millions along the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Judge Jackson showed us that she is committed to equal justice under law, and to ensuring that the Constitution works for all Americans. Today’s vote was historic and I strongly and proudly support Judge Jackson’s nomination. I look forward to a full Senate vote later this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is the fourth time the Committee has voted on Judge Jackson in some capacity, a reflection of her extraordinary legal career. However, it is the first time that the Committee has advanced the nomination of a Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

With January 6 and the Big Lie looming large, DOJ has a critical role to play in protecting our nation’s election officials from threats of violence. DOJ has taken important steps to address this issue, but more must be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, @JudiciaryDems will vote on the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as the first Black woman on the United States Supreme Court. It is an historic moment for this nation and one that we should all be proud of. https://t.co/AHLsczsLQr — PolitiTweet.org

It was my honor to speak at the investiture ceremony for the new U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois, Greg Harris. Mr. Harris, the first Black U.S. Attorney in the history of the Central District, has served for nearly 30 years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. https://t.co/bRMZwbv9sZ — PolitiTweet.org

Violence in Chicago comes down to one thing above all else: easy access to illicit firearms. I appreciate the efforts by AG Garland and @TheJusticeDept to focus on stopping the flood of illicit guns onto Chicago’s streets. — PolitiTweet.org

This apparent November 2021 video of Mark Frerichs—who has been held captive in Afghanistan for more than two years—is an urgent reminder to the Administration to do everything in its power to bring him home to his family in Illinois. https://t.co/xZ0nETmIxb — PolitiTweet.org

It was great speaking with these future lawyers at @LawUIUC today to discuss Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination hearing, the upcoming vote on her nomination, and the work of the Senate Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/A6wWo8XakR — PolitiTweet.org

I joined my colleagues in urging @SecCardona to carry out his commitment to change the way the Department of Education handles claims by student borrowers in bankruptcy. This will help students, and it’s long overdue. https://t.co/9Zd1iyYTRa — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois was the first state to do this, and Louisiana is following suit today—14,000 pregnant & postpartum women in Louisiana will benefit! — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to a provision in the American Rescue Plan that I co-authored with @RepRobinKelly, states can now offer Medicaid-eligible women health coverage for a full year after their pregnancy, instead of just 60 days. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to be the first, you have to be the best. Judge Jackson is the best—despite some of the things that have been thrown at her today and other places. Rebutting claims against Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, pt. 2: https://t.co/1gw9iCd9w7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Many Senators have taken to the floor to express their views on Judge Jackson. Some, unfortunately, refuse to acknowledge the facts. If we're going to do right by the American people, we must set the record straight. Rebutting claims against Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, pt. 1: https://t.co/VtGS4X8Y5w — PolitiTweet.org

Hosted a Senate meeting yesterday w/ members of the Ukrainian Parliament before receiving a classified briefing on the situation there. What I came away with was this: the resilience of the Ukrainian people continues to amaze us. And the U.S. will continue to stand by their side. https://t.co/EMI8qP754E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I told Stella this then, and I'll repeat it now: There is hope, and the resiliency of the LGBTQ community fuels that hope. We will never stop breaking down these barriers. That is who we are as America. That is what has defined us. #EqualityActNOW #TransDayOfVisibility — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I held the first ever Senate hearing on the Equality Act, where 16-year old Stella Keating told us that as she starts looking at colleges, "all I can think about is this: less than half of the states provide equal protection for me under the law." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Visibility matters. Transgender Americans are our neighbors, teachers, doctors, and friends. They save lives, create art, and strengthen our communities. And they are, as President Biden said yesterday, "made in the image of God and deserving of dignity, respect, and support." — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed speaking with @UChicago President Paul Alivisatos today about research funding. It’s vital that our federal government invests in groundbreaking research, and I remain a committed federal partner in securing funding for science and innovation in IL.https://t.co/dHCb621m3B — PolitiTweet.org
