Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay—a reminder that Latinas must work nearly 22 months to earn what white men make in 12 months. Equal pay is long overdue, and I'm proud to cosponsor the #PaycheckFairness Act to achieve equal pay for equal work. https://t.co/oNbKxUlYYw — PolitiTweet.org

Rising temperatures and extreme weather are impacting every aspect of life on earth, including exacerbating security threats to the U.S. We must take immediate action to mitigate climate change. https://t.co/4A67AxRjbH — PolitiTweet.org

Make sure you catch #FourHoursAtTheCapitol tonight on @HBOMax. It’s a compelling and immersive journey into the chaos of the January 6th insurrection, featuring firsthand accounts from many of the people who were there that day—myself included. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, the Senate will vote to confirm Tana Lin to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Ms. Lin is an accomplished litigator and would be the first Asian-American District Judge in Washington. I urge my colleagues to support her nomination. https://t.co/dl5OFLOFKz — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is the single gravest threat to our economy today, not to mention our children and grandchildren’s future. We cannot afford to kick this can down the road any longer. Climate action must happen today. Tomorrow is too late. https://t.co/3X88qv08RZ — PolitiTweet.org

Regardless of today’s outcome, Senate Democrats will continue to push for federal voting protections and reforms that will strengthen the democratic process. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. By continuing to filibuster voting rights legislation, Senate Republicans are putting partisan, right-wing efforts in state legislatures ahead of the right of Americans to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Public safety can only be achieved when law enforcement has the full confidence of the communities they protect. As we honor Laquan’s memory today, we must also commit to reforming the flaws in the system that led to his murder. Only then will true justice be achieved. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Seven years later, the murder of Laquan McDonald is still shocking and upsetting. And while some semblance of justice has been achieved through the legal system, nothing can ever replace a lost loved one. Sending my prayers to the McDonald family today as they mourn Laquan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It was a sweet treat to meet with IL members of the @CandyUSA this afternoon. We had a fruitful discussion about the U.S. sugar market & how we can reform the current program to keep IL competitive in a global marketplace. https://t.co/ZAIFDohXRP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The filibuster has always been the weapon of choice for those who want to beat down civil rights. When Republicans use it to block voting rights tomorrow, they’ll be following in the footsteps of those who came before them in filibustering civil rights. https://t.co/D4KZmIXBMs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Democrats have been very open about how we are going to pay for the Build Back Better plan. Those making over $400,000 a year will see their taxes go up. And corporations will have to pay their fair share. This is about making life better for working people in America. https://t.co/vEh0EBEG1H — PolitiTweet.org

Met with @IAEAorg Director General @rafaelmgrossi today to discuss nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea. Director General Grossi clearly understands the magnitude of the problems we face, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to resolve these difficult issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tomorrow the Senate will vote on whether or not to move forward with debate on the Freedom to Vote Act. Republicans are threatening to once again filibuster voting rights. They say they want compromise—now is the time to prove it. https://t.co/fPL99u9jMr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It’s been estimated that more than 200 million Americans could be drinking these dangerous “forever chemicals” in their tap water. Glad to see the Biden Administration is moving to clean up our drinking water and protect Americans’ health and well-being. https://t.co/6W6DpWuiPu — PolitiTweet.org

Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, yet we've seen election officials & election workers face a barrage of threats and abusive conduct from those seeking to overturn the 2020 election. The Justice Department must work to proactively protect election workers from harm. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m live on the Senate floor, recounting Timuel Black’s remarkable life and honoring his legacy, which helped shape the America we all live in. Watch here: https://t.co/wQZTp7s8kf — PolitiTweet.org

Big Pharma lied & flooded communities across America with painkillers, fueling a record number of overdose deaths last year. That’s why @SenBlumenthal, @Sen_JoeManchin, & I are urging @US_FDA to have health professionals undergo new training on safer opioid prescribing practices. https://t.co/3jSx5p4kkG — PolitiTweet.org

I also passed the SIREN Act to help rural EMS agencies in IL purchase equipment & hire staff. Next up: I’ve introduced the Rural America Health Corps Act to bring more health professionals to rural America. Congress must come together ASAP to support our rural health providers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Like the rest of America, rural Illinois is in need of more health care workers. That’s why I put $1 billion in Pres. Biden’s American Rescue Plan to recruit more docs, nurses, dentists & behavioral health providers to communities in need. https://t.co/jYylz7dHq9 — PolitiTweet.org
