There have been too many funerals, too many communities devastated by gun violence. I commend the administration for their gun violence prevention strategy, which implements preventative measures that are proven to reduce violent crime. — PolitiTweet.org

I commend the Biden Administration for its efforts to address the flow of illegal guns into Chicago. These guns come from out of state and wreak havoc on our streets. I stand ready to help the DOJ and the City of Chicago in any way that I can. https://t.co/7KVesiRL2p — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Democrats will continue to push for federal voting protections and reforms that will strengthen the democratic process. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Democracy is at its strongest when every eligible voter has access to the ballot. By filibustering the For The People Act today, Senate Republicans voted to protect partisan, right-wing efforts in state legislatures that will limit the right of people to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Donald Trump’s Big Lie is an attack on our democracy. Will Republican Senators stand up to efforts across the country to limit voting rights and promote the Big Lie? Or do they live in fear of Trump? This vote on the For the People Act is going to answer that question. https://t.co/zTnuSiK853 — PolitiTweet.org

The #ForthePeopleAct is not just about protecting voting rights. It’s also about reforming our broken campaign finance system. And combating corruption through stronger ethics laws. But above all, it’s about making sure Americans have a government of, by, and for the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Fritzie Fritzshall led a remarkable life. She survived Auschwitz, arriving in the U.S. at just 13 years old, and went on to live a life of kindness and compassion. May she rest in peace. And may we all never forget. https://t.co/7Vmjxq45Gu — PolitiTweet.org

GOP state legislators have introduced nearly 400 pieces of anti-voting rights legislation already this year. Today the Senate has a chance to push back by moving forward with the For the People Act. Every American deserves a say in our nation's future. — PolitiTweet.org

Our democracy is strongest when more people participate, not fewer. Congress has a responsibility to stand up and protect voting rights in states across the US. We must move forward with the #ForThePeopleAct. We must protect democracy. https://t.co/UCfQ5YwCfo — PolitiTweet.org

More than 700,000 Americans live, work, and pay taxes in Washington, D.C. without full representation in our nation’s federal government. It’s time for that to change. #DCStatehood is a must—every American deserves to be fully represented in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Praying for the victims of gun violence in Chicago over the weekend. Far too many American lives are lost or forever altered by gunfire—it’s time for Congress to take common sense, constitutional steps to help reduce gun violence. https://t.co/NNbvlyf7hd — PolitiTweet.org

Farhana Khera has spent her life fighting for civil rights. I've been grateful for her counsel, including working together on the first Congressional hearing on the civil rights of American Muslims in 2011. Farhana: wherever you bring your light next, I am certain you will shine. — PolitiTweet.org
