Thank you, @HouseDemocrats. Every day this prison remains open, its existence calls into question our commitment to human rights and the rule of law—not to mention, it is an indefensible waste of taxpayers’ dollars. It's time to close the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman John Lewis said, ‘Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community.’ Our bipartisan resolution is a call to action to all Americans to continue to strive for our democratic ideals. — PolitiTweet.org

The electric vehicle revolution is here. We can drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions while spurring job creation and innovation across America. Our transition to zero-emission vehicles is a win for Illinois, the planet, and our kids’ and grandkids’ futures. — PolitiTweet.org

We lost a pillar of the union movement today. Richard Trumka spent his life fighting for working families in the United States. We will miss his presence deeply. Loretta and I send our condolences to his wife Barbara and the rest of the Trumka family as they mourn his loss. https://t.co/f1RzG40rOC — PolitiTweet.org

When Big Tobacco was forced to pay states $246B for their deadly cigarette promotion, most of it was diverted away from public health. Now, as pharma companies are held accountable for fueling the opioid epidemic, we cannot make the same mistake. My op-ed: https://t.co/jCv4UFqoH4 — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump’s desperate attempts to enlist the DOJ in his efforts to overthrow the results of the 2020 election are deeply worrying. @JudiciaryDems investigation into the Trump DOJ will go to the heart of this abuse of power. We will find answers. https://t.co/1RgGk8nhZ9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud of the Appropriations Committee for coming together on a bipartisan basis to pass these spending bills for FY 2022. They make critical investments in Illinois and will go a long way towards achieving President Biden’s agenda of building back better. https://t.co/S4Gd8X3zkt — PolitiTweet.org

Following the Oak Creek attack, I held a hearing in Washington on domestic terrorism that included powerful testimony from Harpreet Singh Saini, the son of one of the victims. It sticks with me to this day. https://t.co/IH1leb5s9m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Nine years ago today, a white supremacist terrorist shot & killed six worshippers at the Oak Creek Sikh gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. It was a wretched act, born out of hatred & bigotry. We can honor the victims today by standing up against such hate wherever we find it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m joining @MSNBC @Morning_Joe to talk about the progress we are making on the bipartisan infrastructure package in the Senate. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Recent reports that BOP may be failing to ensure that Larry Nassar's victims receive thousands of dollars in restitution raise urgent new concerns about BOP’s handling of inmate accounts. Nassar must fulfill these obligations, & BOP must answer for its mismanagement of accounts. — PolitiTweet.org

Any delay in administering these emergency rental assistance funds will only serve to further punish renters and landlords who have already lost so much. This pandemic has caused enough pain. Red tape cannot be allowed to deepen it further. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After weeks of uncertainty, millions of Americans can sleep better now that the Biden Admin. has enacted a new federal eviction moratorium. But that alone is not enough—we must ensure that federal relief is actually making its way to renters and landlords as intended. https://t.co/KzkLXKavub — PolitiTweet.org

As we face another #COVID19 surge, mainly among the unvaccinated, I'm relieved Dr. Fauci & his team are researching the Delta variant & working to protect kids not yet eligible for the shot. We're in this together. Encourage your loved ones to get vaccinated & mask up. https://t.co/fTgnDogfOT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Always a pleasure to speak with @Rivian Founder and CEO @RJScaringe about the future of electric vehicles in Illinois. He and his company have created a template for how to invest in a green economy at home and create jobs along the way. https://t.co/WZPOVbttNz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed having the chance to speak with @TexasHDC via Zoom today about the ongoing struggle for voting rights in Texas and across the United States. Proud to stand with them, and Democrats everywhere, against the flood of Republican attacks on the right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Many of the Capitol and Metropolitan Police Officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 are still grappling with the physical and emotional trauma of that day. They deserve our support and they deserve accountability. But above all, they deserve justice. https://t.co/CwE47b07wU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I was one of only 23 Senators to vote against the Iraq War authorization in 2002, and I stand firmly by that position to this day. It's time to finally terminate the Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Iraq. — PolitiTweet.org

By the end of his presidency, Donald Trump was desperate and willing to do anything he could to stay in office. @JudiciaryDems are investigating his efforts to enlist DOJ in his election subversion scheme, & we will get to the bottom of this abuse of power. We will find answers. https://t.co/mZsiEviPuS — PolitiTweet.org

This is welcome news. We cannot allow struggling families to be thrown out of their homes and onto the street during a surging pandemic. Thank you, @CoriBush, for insisting on action. Your courage and resolve changed this debate. https://t.co/RMqLmCdJZz — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday brought good news on student loan bankruptcy reform. My FRESH START Through Bankruptcy Act with @JohnCornyn is a #BipartisanBankruptcyBreakthrough and a potential life-saver for many of those struggling with the burden of student loan debt. https://t.co/Rz3UAbMBBp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After 4 years of irresponsible leadership at @DHSgov, I had a productive conversation with @SheriffEd_HCSO, who has been nominated to lead @ICEgov. We must have leadership that will reform ICE policies & prioritize an effective, humane immigration system in line with our values. https://t.co/weKvz9nLvg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Too many Republicans want us to forget what happened on January 6. But we are witnessing the devastating impact the insurrection had on the brave men and women who defended the Capitol on that day. We owe them a full accounting of what led up to and happened on that day. https://t.co/GgXxqEnMaU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It was an honor to speak with @JacksonLeeTX18 and members of the Floyd family in Washington today. Their courage is inspirational. We owe it to them, and so many others, to enact policing reform. https://t.co/ndImLUlmlC — PolitiTweet.org
