Joining @CNN @NewDay shortly to discuss Judge Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Russia’s assault on Ukraine, and what I hope to hear from President Biden’s #SOTU speech tonight. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Roe v. Wade is hanging on by an ever-thinning thread, which is why I just voted to move forward with the Women’s Health Protection Act—a bill that would protect access to abortion. Disappointed that this critical effort did not succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While the Ukrainian people put up an historically brave fight in defense of their homeland, the United States should designate Ukraine for Temporary Protected Status. Proud to lead this effort with @SenatorMenendez and @senrobportman. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this year, I joined a congressional amicus brief urging the Court to recognize the EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act to protect the public from harmful pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and address the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

One of the United States’ most effective tools to combat climate change is on the line in West Virginia v. EPA, a case SCOTUS heard today. I fully support @EPA’s ability to regulate emissions and protect the public from harmful pollution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has come before the United States Senate three times for approval, advise, and consent. On all three occasions, she emerged with bipartisan support. I hope to see that revisited again. https://t.co/9BBRqbIx4K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Taking to the Senate floor to discuss the latest on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Watch live: https://t.co/iMrtGLO6VC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the wake of a wildfire, mass violence, or devastating tornadoes like in Edwardsville, IL, these trauma resources can help communities heal. You can read more about our bipartisan bill, introduced with @RepPressley in the House, here: https://t.co/P2JGOa7I5G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Natural disasters don’t just cause physical damage, they can also leave lasting emotional & mental scars in the communities they impact. That's why @senrobportman & I are introducing legislation to expand mental health support for survivors & first responders after emergencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Joining John McCain in Maidan Square in Kiev in 2014 paying honor to Ukrainians who died fighting for freedom. Today the battle continues. https://t.co/U3P1QaERqv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Saddened to learn of the passing of @SenFeinstein’s husband Dick Blum. Sending my prayers to the entire family as they mourn his loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

From a strong list of prospective candidates, President Biden has chosen an extraordinary nominee to succeed Justice Breyer. I look forward to meeting with Judge Jackson as our nation's nominee to SCOTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Ukrainian people are fighting a valiant battle against all odds. The United States must not only encourage them, but also supply them with the things they need to protect themselves. And we must do everything we can to aid refugees fleeing the violence. https://t.co/hEwMWbhbc0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I am committed to doing everything I can to make sure Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation process is careful, fair, and professional. Judge Jackson’s impressive record will be on display for all to see. https://t.co/WAh0iOAg3C — PolitiTweet.org

Our gratitude to Poland for opening their borders to at least 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing the deadly military machine of the Moscow Madman. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every moment the brave Ukrainians hold Putin’s murderous invasion back is a miracle. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

At my meeting with Ukrainians earlier this week in Chicago, a woman in tears begged me to do all we can to stop Putin. She said tomorrow it will be Poland and Lithuania. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Watching average Ukrainians step forward to take a rifle and defend their nation from Putin reminds me that courage can often be found when ordinary people rise to a challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Joining @CNNSotu momentarily. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

One week ago I was in Munich for Ukrainian President Zelensky’s plea to the world for help to stop Putin. Today Zelensky is fighting for his nation and his life. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @NPRWeekend shortly to discuss Ukraine and the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tomorrow, I’ll be on @CNNSotu with @DanaBashCNN to discuss the situation in Ukraine and the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. You won’t want to miss it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

From a strong list of prospective candidates, @POTUS has chosen an extraordinary nominee in D.C. Circuit Judge Jackson. As Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I will do everything I can to ensure a careful, fair, and professional confirmation process that she and America are entitled to. — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke with Lithuanian Foreign Minister @GLandsbergis during my recent trip to the region. My message was clear: the United States stands firmly alongside our NATO allies in Eastern Europe as they face down the barrel of Russian aggression. https://t.co/Sbl2dgwAby — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Loopholes in our bankruptcy law have created two systems of justice in this country: one for the wealthy and powerful, and one for everyone else. We must not allow this to continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today’s troubling news reinforces the urgent need to pass legislation to stop the Texas Two-Step and other abuses of the bankruptcy system by wealthy corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Go look at Johnson & Johnson’s website and take a look at all the pictures of those beautiful babies, and all the products they sell for those babies… people are suffering injuries, and J&J is trying to dance around the bankruptcy system to avoid facing these innocent victims. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today’s decision is a win for J&J, and a loss for the tens of thousands of victims of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma who are seeking to hold the company accountable. It is also a green light for other powerful corporations to use bankruptcy gimmicks to avoid responsibility. — PolitiTweet.org
