Americans have asked Congress to fix crumbling roads and bridges, expand public transit and rail, and provide clean drinking water in their communities for decades. That moment has finally arrived in the Senate today. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should be horrified by the findings in this report. We've put off addressing climate change for far too long. There is no time left to wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday we learned that CPD Ofc. Ella French was murdered by a straw purchased handgun from Indiana. I’m live on the Senate floor, calling for DOJ to commit to a coordinated investigation and prosecution effort against these straw purchases immediately. https://t.co/Gz6obRA8fI — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: I spoke with @NicolleWallace this afternoon about the ongoing @JudiciaryDems investigation into former President Trump’s frightening attempt to weaponize the Department of Justice as a part of his scheme to overturn the 2020 election. https://t.co/SgWDFp1Aav — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ll be joining @AC360 on @CNN tonight to talk about infrastructure and the ongoing @JudiciaryDems investigation into Trump’s attempt to involve DOJ in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am writing to AG Garland today to call on the Department of Justice’s Chicago firearms trafficking Strike Force to commit to a coordinated investigation and prosecution effort against these straw purchases immediately. Enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Infuriated by the news that Officer Ella French was killed and her partner wounded by a handgun obtained through a straw purchase in Indiana. I have been pushing for stronger penalties against straw purchases for years, and this is why. — PolitiTweet.org

According to CDC data, "more than 99.99% of people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 have not had a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization or death." This is why the vaccine is so important: it will save your life. https://t.co/fSM5u5dRtl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @NicolleWallace on @MSNBC shortly to discuss infrastructure and @JudiciaryDems investigation into the former President’s efforts to enlist DOJ in his scheme to overturn the 2020 election. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It breaks my heart to read about the life of Officer Ella French, described by her brother as “the epitome of a Good Samaritan.” Another great life cut short by the gun madness in our country. Prayers for her fellow cop battling for his life. https://t.co/AHVdhVtuqX — PolitiTweet.org

After AG Barr changed longstanding DOJ policy last summer, the U.S. government executed more people in a matter of months than in the last 7 decades. Capital punishment is not justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With this bipartisan infrastructure package, we have the chance to make a once-in-a-generation investment in American infrastructure and create good-paying jobs. I’m live on the Senate floor, discussing this historic opportunity: https://t.co/nL7lU6EczP — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the U.S. Olympic gold medalists in men’s and women’s basketball. And a special thanks to Kevin Durant, Sue Bird, and Diana Taurasi for their willingness to lead their teams. We could not have done it without you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

A weekend of violence brings a week of mourning to Chicago. Gun violence is devastating our communities. We must continue working to get illicit guns off of our streets and out of the hands of those who would use them for violence. https://t.co/VugDY9I54l — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Chicago is in mourning today over the loss of one of our brave Chicago Police officers. We need better laws to keep guns out of the hands of those prohibited from using them. America’s families and police officers deserve safer communities. https://t.co/kwnOTZhtn0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The @JudiciaryDems investigation into former President Trump’s attempt to enlist the DOJ in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election has already revealed some frightening truths. Just yesterday, we heard seven hours of testimony from Jeffrey Rosen alone. Much more is to come. https://t.co/6q55OcX4Ox — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the coming months, we will have a rare opportunity to pass long overdue immigration reform through the budget reconciliation process. We must take it. Everybody knows our immigration system is broken. Now is the time to fix it. https://t.co/1aOGm4cLxP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Heartbreaking news out of Chicago. Gun violence has stolen the lives of far too many of our nation’s brave police officers. Praying for the recovery of the injured officer. And sending my condolences to the family and loved ones of the fallen officer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SenateDems are still here and still working hard on this lovely Sunday morning in Washington, DC. We have the opportunity to do something truly special with this bipartisan infrastructure package—we will not let it go to waste. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @CNNSotu and @DanaBashCNN momentarily. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Restaurants are the lifeblood of our cities. And they are still struggling with the fallout of this pandemic. It’s a shame that Republicans won’t replenish the SBA’s Restaurant Revitalization Fund. They are letting so many hardworking Americans down. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Senate is hard at work today, putting the finishing touches on what will be the largest long-term investment in American infrastructure in nearly a century. @SenateDems are ready to stay in Washington as long as we have to in order to finish this deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Students of all ages go to college to better their lives—not to incur insurmountable debt. This is a welcome move by the President that will help thousands of Americans build back better from this pandemic. https://t.co/21bJoJedqG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Senate Republicans can huff and puff about "socialism" all they want. But helping American families and small businesses during a pandemic isn’t "socialism.” It's common sense. Anyone who can't see that has lost their grip on reality. https://t.co/5ucTAg1iX2 — PolitiTweet.org

"Those that founded our country knew that freedom would be secure only if each generation fought to enlarge its meaning." — President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act. We cannot just mark #VRA56. We must honor the cause with action. I'm calling on Congress to #RestoreTheVRA https://t.co/btAyw77P1K — PolitiTweet.org

The crude repression being used by Daniel Ortega to cowardly avoid competing in a real election is disgraceful. https://t.co/nCk7Bo9fF5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Something simple like: The crude repression being used by Daniel Ortega to cowardly avoid competing in real election is disgraceful. https://t.co/nCk7Bo9fF5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Our economy is growing because Democrats’ investments in working people and their families are paying off. But that doesn’t mean we can stop here—we must keep our foot on the gas and continue to build on our success. That starts with infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After a tumultuous year at USP Thomson, I’m glad that BOP approved my request with @RepCheri and @SenDuckworth to delegate direct hiring authority to the institution. Now, USP Thomson can remedy its hiring shortage and ensure the facility is properly staffed. — PolitiTweet.org
