Today marks the anniversary of Bloody Sunday—and our second without my friend, John Lewis. 57 years later, we can still join him on that bridge, and walk with his legacy as we work toward equal access to the ballot box. Finishing his fight is our moral mission. — PolitiTweet.org

I recently introduced the bipartisan VAWA Reauthorization Act with @SenJoniErnst, @SenFeinstein, and @lisamurkowski. Modernizing and reauthorizing #VAWA would prove this country’s commitment to protecting those who need help the most—something that is long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Stop Russian oil exports to the United States. They represent only 4% of our oil needs but 14% of Russian world exports. We cannot let U.S. dollars fund Putin’s devastating invasion of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am cosponsoring a bipartisan Senate bill to ban Russian energy imports in the United States. We cannot subsidize Putin’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Chicago police are pulling record numbers of illegal guns off the street. These guns are largely being trafficked in from other places—elsewhere in Illinois, and other states. If we want to reduce shootings, we need to reduce the flow of illegal guns into this city and state. — PolitiTweet.org

12-year-old Nyzireya London Moore was on her way home from her birthday dinner when she was shot in the head Tuesday night by someone firing at a different car. Sadly, Nyzierya passed away Friday. My prayers are with her heartbroken family. https://t.co/xK9TAiAV32 — PolitiTweet.org

This is exactly why the Senate is working on bipartisan bills to strengthen our cybersecurity infrastructure. We must make sure we are prepared for increased Russian aggression, wherever it may appear. https://t.co/TUoexARXGc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With passage of this cowardly law, seems Putin and Lavrov should be charged with lying to the Russian people about their unprovoked & unjustified invasion of Ukraine. https://t.co/LWzeCJBQmm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As Russia continues its unprovoked and illegal attack, we will continue to work with NATO and our allies to support President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Zelensky is a tireless & courageous leader. His call for unity in the face of Russian barbarity has inspired the world. Today’s meeting reaffirmed our commitment to do everything we can to provide military equipment and humanitarian relief. https://t.co/JEOhd6l9hH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As the brutal Russian invasion continues in Ukraine, the U.S. should be doing everything we can to make sure our NATO allies in the region have the military supplies they need to serve as a deterrent against further aggression. Chief among them—Poland & the Baltic States. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Another strong jobs report for our economy. And a reminder of how Democrats’ investments in the American people are paying off. https://t.co/VqWCDfgInZ — PolitiTweet.org

Praying for a swift and full recovery for these two CPD officers who were shot and injured in the line of duty. Grateful for their service and courage, and for the other officers who quickly responded at the scene. https://t.co/zV8wMA2m8V — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congress must now show solidarity and support for Ukrainians by providing the emergency funding the Biden Administration has requested. This funding can help neighboring countries like Poland and Hungary provide, food, shelter, and medical care for refugees. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I spoke at the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago to discuss support for granting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Ukrainians in the U.S. I stand in solidarity with Ukraine and commit to do everything I can to provide military equipment and humanitarian relief. https://t.co/mRx2nqzv2b — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed having the chance to speak with the Bloomington-Normal Economic Development Council this week about how funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law & American Rescue Plan will help their community usher in a new era of infrastructure and innovation in Central Illinois. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Happy Birthday, Chicago! It is the ultimate honor to represent America’s greatest city in the United States Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This bill would not be law today without the leadership of @RepCheri in the House of Representatives. Thank you, Congresswoman, for your tireless work advocating for justice for survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

UPDATE: This bill has become the law of the land! Thank you @POTUS, and thank you to survivors everywhere whose bravery and courage continue to inspire this nation. — PolitiTweet.org

The elite gymnasts who appeared at our @JudiciaryDems hearing on the Nassar abuse case delivered some of the most compelling testimony I’ve ever heard. Cases like theirs made it clear that we must step up and do more to bring justice for survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Met with @RepCheri and @IDOT_Illinois Sec. Osman to discuss the need for progress on the Quad Cities to Chicago Passenger Rail Project after years of delay. Residents of the Quad cities have waited long enough. It’s time to make this happen. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re a public service worker in Illinois or anywhere across the United States, make sure you take advantage of the PSLF Limited Waiver before 10/31/22. More information on how to do so can be found below. — PolitiTweet.org

While the Ukrainian people put up a historically brave fight in defense of their homeland, the President has reaffirmed our nation’s commitment to stand with Ukraine and protect the safety of Ukrainian nationals — PolitiTweet.org

Covid exposed our reliance on foreign medical supplies, so I passed legislation in the CARES Act to study the issue. Today’s @theNASEM report shows how we must improve domestic manufacturing, stockpiles, planning, & supply chains, like my PPE in America Act with @SenBillCassidy. — PolitiTweet.org
