The Chicago Ukrainian rally on Sunday was a remarkable display of unity. Flags from Poland, Lithuania, and many other nations joined the many blue and gold banners from Ukraine. The valiant people of Ukraine are inspiring the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Every Illinoisan deserves access to a secure & reliable retirement savings vehicle. I had an important and fruitful discussion with @ILTreasurer today about how the federal gov't can support IL in establishing a stronger sense of financial security for Illinoisans. https://t.co/RrZIfygzzc — PolitiTweet.org

Putin spews grievances from his ill-gotten luxury palace while murdering innocent Ukrainians and jailing peaceful Russians who condemn his war. https://t.co/Rchr51hx58 — PolitiTweet.org

Last week’s meeting brought ten European Ambassadors to the U.S. together with @SenateDems. One could sense that President Biden’s efforts have created a rebirth of NATO exactly when the world needs it. — PolitiTweet.org

Tragic news that Putin’s bombs destroyed a maternity hospital in Ukraine and took the lives of a mother and her baby. — PolitiTweet.org

For those who are less than familiar with Judge Jackson, let me tell you a little bit about her: Highly qualified. A breadth of experience. Committed to our Constitution. My dearest hope is that at the end of the day, she will receive the bipartisan support she has earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Tradition returned to the South Side of Chicago Sunday with the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Fallen heroes CPD Ofc. Ella French and the CFD’s MaShawn Plummer were honored, and their families and wounded CPD Ofc. Carlos Yanez Jr.—French’s partner—were on hand. https://t.co/ytXtW3S9LM — PolitiTweet.org

Praying for all those affected by gun violence over the weekend in Chicago. We must never allow ourselves to normalize mass shootings and violence like this. We must continue to push for commonsense gun safety reforms and safer, more peaceful communities. https://t.co/PWAPDPVyKO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Great to be back at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Chicago on Saturday. https://t.co/0DlKFPoByG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Had a productive discussion with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District Commander Colonel Jesse Curry last week about bringing several Illinois water infrastructure projects, including the Quincy Bay Restoration Project, to fruition. https://t.co/ZErU2B7JhG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

My office is closely monitoring the unfolding situation around the Marathon Pipeline leak. We are in contact with @EPA and @ILEPA and will continue to do everything we can to ensure federal resources are available if necessary to help with the clean-up. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Wishing a happy (belated) birthday to my friend and colleague, @SenDuckworth. It is an honor to serve the people of Illinois alongside you in the Senate. https://t.co/Aw4DhSpwSa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to stand with members of the Ukrainian and Eastern European communities in Chicago today. Ukraine’s struggle for freedom is in my heart and I will continue to do everything I can to help their efforts and bring an end to this war. https://t.co/S4oGyGCxDe — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome the release of Raif Badawi after 10 tragic years in Saudi prison and hope he can reunite with his family in Canada as soon as possible. https://t.co/bk96ynrCry — PolitiTweet.org

The bill also invests in local communities by providing funding to launch important infrastructure projects, improve access to health care, advance environmental conservation, and much more. https://t.co/emVQIJzhm9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The new Omnibus Appropriations bill, which passed last night, provides vital aid to Ukraine and includes a provision I championed – the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. https://t.co/m0gtpJo2An — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Republican attacks across the country on LGBTQ children are a stark reminder of why it is so important for Congress to pass the Equality Act. We must keep fighting to ensure every American child feels welcome & safe to be their authentic self, no matter what state they live in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Biden Administration must end its use of Title 42. We must continue to do everything we can to crush COVID-19. And Congress must finally fix our badly broken immigration system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The DC Circuit found that “it’s far from clear that the [Title 42 order] serves any [public health] purpose.” Public health experts have been making this case all along. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

For two years, Title 42 has been used to expel immigrants who cross our border. Many just try again. And thousands have been unjustly returned to the danger they fled. It is not a humane or effective solution to securing our border. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the year since @POTUS signed the American Rescue Plan into law, we've seen historic job growth, expanded access to affordable health care, & cut taxes for 36 million families. There's more to do—but we're better off today because @SenateDems pushed #ARP over the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@ILEPA, @SustainChicago, & @EPAGreatLakes have been working hard to deliver clean, healthy air & it shows. We must build on this milestone & fight for zero-emission technologies in every corner of the US so we can all breathe easier. https://t.co/J5cWTEuWe6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This omnibus spending package is a testament to the incredible progress we have made in the last year and makes significant investments for Illinois. It also provides critical funding for the people of Ukraine fighting tooth and nail to defend their freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Passing our reauthorization bill represents the very best of Washington: a bipartisan coalition coming together to prove this country’s commitment to protecting the most vulnerable. We need to ensure every survivor, whether in rural AK or urban IL, has help in a moment of crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Countless lives have been saved since the Violence Against Women Act was first enacted. It is long past time to not just reauthorize this critical program, but modernize it to meet the evolving needs of survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Baseball is back, and I’m glad to see an agreement was reached. But there are still significant issues with the way MLB operates under its antitrust exemption—issues that I continue to believe merit closer inspection. — PolitiTweet.org
