As I said the day Judge Jackson's nomination to #SCOTUS was announced, it's hard to think of a better jurist to replace the highly regarded Justice Stephen Breyer. And after meeting with her, I am only more impressed by her experience, character, and fidelity to our Constitution. https://t.co/zRYyAPrb1E — PolitiTweet.org

Great meeting today with @ATUComm, @ATULocal241, & ATU Local 308 to discuss transit worker safety in Chicago & across the country. The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act includes critical protections for transit workers that I’m working with ATU to implement. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheriff @TomDart is right. The Senate can and must right the wrongs of the war on drugs by passing the EQUAL Act and finally ending the crack & powder cocaine sentencing disparity. https://t.co/jNpDraujSN — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I was honored to attend a Joint Session of Congress address by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. I also support President Biden’s announcement to send additional military aid as part of the humanitarian, military, and economic support package for Ukraine. https://t.co/s74PhSZyGP — PolitiTweet.org

This coming Monday, I will gavel in the hearing for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. It will surely mark as one of the highest honors of my career in Congress. https://t.co/g69uRpygaY — PolitiTweet.org

While we must condemn all violence, it's abundantly clear that white supremacists & violent militia extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing us today. The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act will help the federal government forcefully combat this threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Rooting for you tonight, @RedbirdWBB. You make Illinois proud! — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @ILVetsAffairs for taking action to protect Illinois veterans from a predatory school. These defrauded veterans should have their benefits restored by @DeptVetAffairs. https://t.co/iwKo5MQpac — PolitiTweet.org

I’m live on the Senate floor, celebrating World Water Day and previewing next week’s SCOTUS confirmation hearings in @JudiciaryDems. Watch here: https://t.co/Z510Yg2MMv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Had the chance to meet with @vkaramurza in Washington today. He is a fearless Russian patriot and leader for democracy who—despite being poisoned twice by the Kremlin—continues to stand up to Putin. His path, the path of democracy and peace, is what Russia needs right now. https://t.co/5B4iZWpqWJ — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of children—some mere infants—were forcibly removed from their parents by the Trump Admin and hundreds remain separated to this day. I applaud the ongoing, morally necessary work of the Biden Admin’s Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@RepBobbyRush deserves praise and thanks for his determined leadership on this bill. Because of his efforts, it will soon be signed into law by President Biden. Congratulations, my friend. This is an historic moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I want to thank @SenFeinstein, @SenJoniErnst, @lisamurkowski for their partnership and tireless leadership on this bill, as well as @SenBrianSchatz, @PattyMurray, @SenSherrodBrown, and @RonWyden. This historic moment was a multi-Committee team effort on both sides of the aisle. — PolitiTweet.org

At a moment when nearly one in three women—one in three—have experienced some form of physical or sexual violence, a crisis that's grown worse during the pandemic, #VAWA is going to help save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke with @US_TRANSCOM Commander General Van Ovost today about military readiness priorities and the role that @ScottAFB and the 182nd Wing in Peoria are equipped to play. Time and again, they have demonstrated their capabilities—I hope to see them further utilized. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Best of luck, @DePaulWBBHoops! Illinois is rooting for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Had a great conversation with @IMLLeague and Illinois Mayors yesterday about how best to rebuild our communities and make historic, much-needed investments in our infrastructure. I’ll continue to be a strong federal representative for IL as we look to build a brighter future. — PolitiTweet.org

I commend the Biden Admin for designating Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status. TPS will protect Afghans in the U.S. from being forced to return to unsafe conditions due to the ongoing conflict and deteriorating conditions, incl. water scarcity & a worsening hunger crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s indiscriminate murdering of innocent Ukrainians has sealed his fate in history as a war criminal. https://t.co/UsFuxQeB15 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

VAWA reauthorization is a monumental achievement for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. It may be long overdue, but I could not be more proud of how hard this group worked to get this done. It’s time we finally build a world—and legal system—that puts survivors first. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Zelensky’s speech to Congress today was powerful. Putin has unleashed a savage war of death and destruction on a peaceful, sovereign nation. The U.S. must continue to provide Ukraine with the military and humanitarian supplies it needs to fight back and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see @POTUS sign the omnibus spending package today. In addition to key aid for Ukraine, it includes more than $200 million for projects in Illinois—infrastructure, health care, environmental conservation, community violence initiatives, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation is built on some fundamental ideas—like fairness. But millions of women across the U.S. are still doing the same job as men and being paid less for their work. On #EqualPayDay, I stand with women across the country in calling for equal pay for equal work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congratulations to Illinois’ own Josh Misiewicz and Kevin McKee for being a part of this historic accomplishment. Making us proud! — PolitiTweet.org

Real courage in these brief seconds speaking truth about Putin’s savagery in Ukraine. Why is Putin afraid of letting his people know the truth? https://t.co/ZCQpSnBt17 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Putin’s bombing of the training camp in Lviv hits close to home. I visited the camp & had lunch with US troops several years ago. Putin is pushing the NATO question, striking 11 miles from Poland. I fully support diplomacy over war, but we have to be prepared now more than ever. — PolitiTweet.org
