We have a once in a generation opportunity to rebuild America’s roads, transit, railways, and bridges. To make clean water a reality for every home. To build an economy that works for everyone. And to create millions of good-paying, family-supporting jobs. I hope we take it. https://t.co/vUupnsaOYH — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 50th anniversary since Turkey closed the Halki Seminary. In 2009, I had the privilege of meeting the Ecumenical Patriarch to discuss the importance of Turkey allowing this important institution to finally reopen. https://t.co/kpIYOeGuyt — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats and Republicans agree: we need to address the lack of competition in the pharmaceutical industry and rising cost of prescription drugs. Advancing these bills today reflects this Committee’s continued focus on moving meaningful bipartisan legislation to the Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

I'll be joining @AymanM on @MSNBC shortly to discuss the latest on infrastructure as well as my meeting with @POTUS tonight on providing a pathway to citizenship for #Dreamers. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

My office is closely monitoring the situation in Rockton and I am working with U.S. EPA to make sure that federal resources are available for whatever cleanup is deemed necessary. https://t.co/387Flpy4ap — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to see @advocatehealth and @UChicago step up to invest in their neighborhoods and break the cycle of violence. As part of the Chicago HEAL Initiative I helped to convene, these hospitals are uplifting communities to tackle root causes of violence. https://t.co/j0C6C9P61i — PolitiTweet.org

"While poverty has fallen most among children, its retreat is remarkably broad: It has dropped among Americans who are white, Black, Latino & Asian, and among Americans of every age group and residents of every state." This is building back better. https://t.co/7YOaZG6SDv — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to have been a part of this effort. Decades of frustration have finally boiled over in Cuba. I stand with the Cuban people in their peaceful demand for a brighter future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is time to pass the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure in nearly a century. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is the first step towards an historic and long-overdue investment in American infrastructure. This bipartisan plan will improve and expand public transit, passenger rail, roads and bridges, clean drinking and waste water infrastructure, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Fox News’ decision to air segments mocking the bravery of Capitol Police officers who risked their lives on January 6 is cowardly and shameful. It took courage to stand down that mob. It takes no courage to sit in front of a camera and belittle these officers. https://t.co/GvZ9FDvW4O — PolitiTweet.org

I’m also pleased that the package includes desperately needed support for our Afghan allies, as well as funding to help safely transport and resettle them. These Afghan civilians aided U.S. troops and we cannot forget them and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see @SenatorLeahy is moving forward with this bipartisan security supplemental. The Capitol Police and National Guard units, including troops from Illinois, who protected the Capitol from insurrections on and after January 6 deserve our support. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If you missed Officer Harry Dunn’s testimony earlier today, I recommend taking the time to watch it now. This is what our brave Capitol Police Officers were facing on January 6. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the past 6 months, we’ve gone from creating 60,000 jobs a month to 60,000 jobs every 3 days. We’ve made real progress, but we need further investments in American infrastructure, American jobs, and American families. That’s how we build back better. https://t.co/74gXg1qCjC — PolitiTweet.org

Our government works best when it works together. Great to have IL House Speaker @RepChrisWelch, a hardworking partner, in my office today to discuss how IL can remain a leader in electric vehicle infrastructure. https://t.co/EEyM8oIlDx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

COVID-19 cases are on the rise across IL & the US. We all need to do our part to help weather this storm. That means getting vaccinated if eligible. The vaccine is by far the best tool we have to control the spread of this virus & protect our loved ones. https://t.co/kLzFrrUTaB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @wolfblitzer on @CNNSitRoom shortly to discuss ongoing infrastructure negotiations in the Senate and today's House Select Committee hearing on January 6. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today's bipartisan House investigation into January 6 is long overdue. It should have started with a bipartisan commission, but Senator McConnell did everything he could to make sure that never happened. History will not look kindly upon his decision. https://t.co/DkjDZ4TOzb — PolitiTweet.org

.@Simone_Biles is already the most decorated gymnast in American history. She’s a living legend—but she's also a human being. Today Simone made likely one of the hardest and most courageous decisions of her life. She is an inspiration to us all. https://t.co/4YPVTGrop2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed speaking with @linakhanFTC today about a wide range of issues, from combatting predatory #4profit colleges to lowering prescription drug prices to promoting online marketplace transparency. There is important work to be done at the FTC under her leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Mike Enzi was a friend for many years, and I am deeply saddened by his passing. He was a kind man who dedicated his life to serving the people of Wyoming. My prayers are with Diana and Mike’s family and loved ones today. — PolitiTweet.org
