If the U.S. is going to lead the way in the 21st century, we’re going to need a robust national electric vehicle infrastructure. Partnerships like this one—along with investments like those in the Bipartisan Infrastructure package—are how we get there. https://t.co/CIdlp2AkYR — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to report that my Republican colleague has removed his objection and we now have five new U.S. Attorneys—including my friend Greg Harris for the Central District of Illinois. Congratulations to each of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

One Republican is currently holding up the confirmation of five U.S. Attorneys over a completely unrelated matter. Critical law enforcement posts sit empty as a result. I'm live on the Senate floor, trying to end this petty political game. https://t.co/Rm7YdZFctH — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the first Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on closing Guantanamo since 2013. At that point, many retired senior military officials, national security experts, and lawmakers agreed it was far past time to #CloseGuantanamo That was 8 years and 3 administrations ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Every kid in America should have access to pre-kindergarten. But as it currently stands, less than half of American three and four year olds are currently enrolled. #BuildBackBetter will make universal pre-K a reality, putting every child in America on a path to success. — PolitiTweet.org

I fought to secure this critical funding for Illinois to help keep families in their homes. Applications will be accepted beginning Monday, Dec. 6 through Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022. Eligible renters and landlords can apply for up to $25,000 in rental assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

I was one of the first to call for Guantanamo's closure. In 2009, I was one of 6 Senators who voted to #CloseGuantanamo. In 2013, I held the first Senate Gitmo hearing in years. The cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment of detainees stains the hands of our government. — PolitiTweet.org

As a Springfield resident, I believe we must preserve the history of the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area for future generations to learn about our nation's history. I'm proud to introduce a bill to ensure the ALNHA is authorized for another 15 years.https://t.co/D9WWqozUfT — PolitiTweet.org

I join the nation in mourning the passing of Bob Dole today. By joining forces with Democrats to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act, his service to this country reminds us of a better day in America. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/S9vZ0iCdse — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Among the many freedoms we enjoy as Americans is the freedom to live without fear—and that includes public figures like school board members. I’m live on the Senate floor, discussing the need to defend that freedom. https://t.co/qN7A0UFiSj — PolitiTweet.org

A great day for baseball. Minnie Miñoso, Buck O'Neil, and Bud Fowler should have been in the Hall of Fame years ago. They are legends of the game and it is good to see they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Maria Ressa has done remarkable work in the face of President Duterte’s vendetta against her. She is more than deserving of the Nobel prize. Glad to see she is going to be able to receive it in person. https://t.co/41envZKqPJ — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be watching The Gambia closely this weekend as they hold what will hopefully be a free and fair presidential election. The Gambian people should know that they have the full support of the United States on their continued path towards democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, with the inclusion of the Drinking Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Act, is already delivering for Illinois. Our communities can use these funds to address long-ignored water issues like lead service lines, broken pumps, & contaminated water. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is celebrating its 203rd birthday today. Since we already took care of a gift with the infrastructure bill, perhaps a tweet is the best way to celebrate today. 21 in the order of statehood, number 1 in our hearts. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a recurring pattern of misconduct by officials within the Bureau of Prisons who believe they can abuse inmates and break the law with impunity. It's time to clean up the BOP—starting with its leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m glad we passed a bill to fund the government through February 18, but passing a long-term funding bill is critical as we move forward into next year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Keeping America’s government open and functioning should never be a political issue. This time, Republicans delayed the bill over an anti-vaccine stunt to prevent Americans from staying safe during a deadly pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

What will it take for Republicans to finally say enough is enough on gun violence? Congress must not continue to sit on the sidelines while children are gunned down at school. https://t.co/UVxG8Gsb9u — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Harris is going to make an outstanding U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois, my home district. He is a pillar of the Springfield community and will be the first Black U.S. Attorney in the district's history. I look forward to his full and final confirmation. https://t.co/1MGRhya1tt — PolitiTweet.org

Will be joining @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour shortly to discuss a wide range of topics. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Holding Big Polluters accountable for their environmental degradation is long overdue. We cannot weaken #BuildBackBetter’s climate provisions based off their empty threats. https://t.co/VDekaXvTBN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Senate Republicans are putting our national security at risk by delaying passage of the NDAA. It's time they stop all the unnecessary political squabbling and work with Democrats to make sure our troops have the resources they need to keep Americans safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With #BuildBackBetter, we have a unique opportunity to take bold action to address the climate crisis. We cannot afford to miss it. The lives of our children and grandchildren hang in the balance. — PolitiTweet.org
