The Committee has been pushing DOJ for this waiver for months. Now that we have it, we’ll proceed to interview relevant witnesses ASAP so we can get to the bottom of this plot to enlist DOJ in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

We are at a pivotal moment in the fight against COVID-19. With the Delta variant spreading, Americans face a serious choice—get vaccinated or risk contracting and spreading a deadly case of COVID-19. I hope they do the right thing and get vaccinated. It will save lives. https://t.co/Q7ldwfX5ze — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased that the Biden Administration has announced its first slate of U.S. Attorney nominees. I look forward to timely consideration of these nominations in Committee. https://t.co/LVspHLgwvd — PolitiTweet.org

This country needs a new Civilian Conservation Corps for the 21st century. We can put Americans to work, preserve our precious natural parks, and protect the environment—all at once. More about my plan with @RepBobbyRush: https://t.co/HN5nKAyEhb — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure to host @KingAbdullahII in the Washington last week for a bipartisan conversation on U.S.-Jordanian relations. Jordan has long been a valued partner on a range of challenging issues in the region, and I look forward to our continued collaboration. https://t.co/PvoMfJ9I3I — PolitiTweet.org

What the Environment and Natural Resources Division needs is a leader who will bring back integrity, expertise, and a renewed commitment to enforcing our nation's environmental and natural resources laws. Todd Kim is that leader. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting him. — PolitiTweet.org

Thirty-one years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. It has provided essential protections for millions of Americans ever since. That’s something we can all celebrate today as we recommit to making equality a reality for every American. #ADA31 — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is not some looming future threat. It is here today and has been for some time. We need to get serious about how we are going to address this crisis before it is too late. https://t.co/leLD5juKC3 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just Chicago. From big cities to small towns, gun violence has become an epidemic in America. But it doesn’t have to be like this—we have the ability to end this national nightmare. What we need now is the courage to do so. https://t.co/f2HsWoOzaO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Gun violence continues to take a devastating toll on Chicago. My prayers are with the victims and their families, but my thoughts are on the future and how we must find a way to finally end this national nightmare. https://t.co/vNQTOo4JdG — PolitiTweet.org

Drug companies ignited our nation’s opioid epidemic. Any settlement money must go toward helping to solve it and preventing future addiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As states & localities work toward a settlement to hold some of the drug companies accountable for fueling the opioid epidemic, we must heed lessons from the tobacco settlement and safeguard critical funds for treatment, prevention, and public health purposes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The pandemic has exacerbated the need for support for survivors of domestic violence. The #VOCAFix ensures that the Crime Victims Fund will continue to provide grants to thousands of victim service providers across the nation, including the IL Domestic Violence Hotline. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I visited @CMBWNTheNetwork to learn about their important work providing resources to survivors of domestic violence and discuss the importance of the #VOCAFix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act, which @POTUS signed into law yesterday. https://t.co/YibG0MuR1e — PolitiTweet.org

The crack-powder cocaine sentencing disparity disproportionately impacts people of color, with 81 percent of those convicted of federal crack offenses from 2015 to 2019 being Black. We need to end this injustice once and for all by eliminating the crack-powder disparity. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@POTUS Biden’s expanded child tax credit is one of the most impactful things that Congress has done in a long time. It’s making a real difference, right now, for millions of American families. And remember—not a single Republican voted for it. https://t.co/IhC6lEi64U — PolitiTweet.org

I always look forward to my meetings with @ILFarmBureau and as a Member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, will continue to fight for federal policies to keep Illinois agriculture strong. https://t.co/iTDJWp9kCa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While the Biden Admin is stepping up, Congress needs to, too. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan RISE from Trauma Act to fund more community-based efforts that prevent violence, and as Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I'm committed to advancing common sense gun safety measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Gun violence is an epidemic that has devastated too many families and communities. Every level of government should be taking serious and urgent action to address its many structural roots. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Honored to welcome @TheJusticeDept to Chicago today to discuss initiatives to address gun violence. AG Garland and I are committed to stemming the flood of illegal firearms into our neighborhoods. The firearms trafficking strike force is a critical step forward for this effort. https://t.co/OSBO43aDgK — PolitiTweet.org

Even as Americans are shot every year in staggering numbers, an agency charged with investigating gun crimes has not had a Senate-confirmed Director since 2015. David Chipman will be ready on Day 1 to confront our uniquely American gun violence epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

55,584 farmworkers call Illinois home and roughly half are undocumented. Today’s @JudiciaryDems hearing highlighted the urgency to support #FarmWorkerLegalization. Our food security depends on it. — PolitiTweet.org
