Today, I led my colleagues in urging President Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan to release individuals imprisoned for peaceful activities. As Turkmenistan looks to build international ties, its human rights record must be an important consideration. https://t.co/snNELLErvG — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time for new leadership at the Bureau of Prisons. Director Carvajal has demonstrated time and again that he is incapable of addressing the various crises he has created or allowed to exist. https://t.co/dwUNKaT5pT — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke with members of the IL Legislative Latino Caucus today about our efforts to include immigration reform in the Build Back Better bill. It’s been more than 30 years since Congress passed immigration reform—we can’t wait any longer. Now is the time & reconciliation is the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Had the chance to meet with @LouisianaGov this afternoon to discuss disaster recovery funding. I told him I will continue doing everything I can to make sure the federal government is helping Louisiana as they continue to recover from hurricanes Laura and Ida. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorLeahy is many things—a humanitarian, a gifted lawmaker, a passionate defender of human rights, and so much more. His service in this Senate has been a great benefit to our nation and the world. We will miss him dearly in retirement. https://t.co/Qsqi9GxbvI — PolitiTweet.org

I was honored to speak today with Judge Salas and Judge Lefkow about the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2021. This commonsense legislation, named after Judge Salas’s son who was murdered by a disgruntled litigant, will help keep judges and their families safe. https://t.co/bPgD6JQ5YS — PolitiTweet.org

Read the DOJ OIG's full Management Advisory Memorandum: Impact of the Failure to Conduct Formal Policy Negotiations on the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Implementation of the FIRST STEP Act and Closure of Office of the Inspector General Recommendations https://t.co/uTfUTbOJ0Q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

"BOP has not conducted formal policy negotiations with its national union for 20 months, which has disrupted...implementation of the FIRST STEP Act and delayed changes to address safety issues." This new DOJ OIG memo is only further proof of why we need new BOP leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday my REFUND Act with @senrobportman was signed into law with the bipartisan infrastructure deal. It will save patients & Medicare billions by forcing Pharma to pay a rebate for discarded meds, rather than profiting off waste. A loss for Big Pharma & win for everyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a new Administration and a new opportunity to reform our criminal justice system. It’s clear that there is much going wrong in our federal prisons, and we urgently need to fix it. That effort must start with new leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to call @SenatorLeahy my friend. We’ve spent many years working alongside one another and I remain impressed to this day by his humility, passion, and kind heart. I wish him all the best in retirement. The Senate and the people of Vermont will miss his service dearly. https://t.co/PUBqKNVrkZ — PolitiTweet.org

This is an historic moment for our nation and for Illinois. But Democrats are not stopping here. We are going to continue to do everything we can to invest in the American people. This is how we build our future. This is how we #BuildBackBetter. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is going to do a lot more than just fill some potholes and fix some bridges. This law is going to revitalize the major arteries of our economy. It will—in some cases literally—pave the way for America to lead the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Biden just did something that lawmakers have talked about doing for a long, long time: sign a landmark infrastructure package into law. What the previous administration could not get done in four years, he accomplished in less than one. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It's finally infrastructure week at the @WhiteHouse! I was proud to help pass this historic investment in America. It will move our economy forward, create jobs in Illinois, and fortify the infrastructure of this great nation for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see @POTUS sign @SenatorMenendez's RENACER Act into law. Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega’s regime is rife with corruption and has made it clear they will not pursue meaningful and peaceful electoral reform unless pressured. — PolitiTweet.org

Later today, I’ll be joining @POTUS at the White House as he signs the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. It's a once-in-a-lifetime reinvestment in America that will have a positive impact on communities across the nation. This is how we #BuildBackBetter. — PolitiTweet.org
