Thinking of everyone affected by the tornado that touched down in DuPage County last night. I’m monitoring the situation and ready to help the State anyway I can. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ve joined with @SenatorBraun to introduce the bipartisan Rural Transportation Equity Act to improve federal focus on rural infrastructure by creating a new @USDOT Office of Rural Investment. https://t.co/96Kb5pHJOD — PolitiTweet.org

Crumbling transportation infrastructure in rural Illinois needs stronger federal attention, especially when residents and businesses rely on sound roads & bridges. Rural America needs a bipartisan solution. — PolitiTweet.org

As America celebrates #Juneteenth, we must remember that the equality promised at the end of the civil war is still too often denied to African Americans. The work of building a more equal & just America lies before us, not behind us. https://t.co/idoMjFsNVU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to join @RepCheri, @HeartlandHealt1, and Peoria Mayor Rita Ali today to talk about the positive impact the American Rescue Plan is having on the community by investing in vaccine distribution, COVID testing, and support for the hardest hit workers and families. https://t.co/d0TP8csxkp — PolitiTweet.org

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our nation’s letter carriers, who worked tirelessly to deliver necessities and keep our country running throughout the pandemic. It’s an honor to be with so many of them today at the annual Illinois Letter Carriers Convention in Peoria. https://t.co/p9pqlxg5X6 — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @usedgov, 535 more Illinois borrowers who attended #4profit ITT Tech will have a total of $16M in federal student loans discharged. Good news for these defrauded students, but there are many more who deserve relief. https://t.co/HhRuW14kRV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Since passage of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, the crack & powder cocaine sentencing disparity has disproportionately impacted people of color. It's time to right our wrong. I look forward to discussing legislative solutions, including mine & @SenBooker's bipartisan EQUAL Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud of Illinois today! But we are not done with COVID-19—I still encourage every eligible Illinoisan who has not yet received the vaccine to please get vaccinated. Widespread vaccinations are the only way we’re going to put this pandemic behind us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to have been a part of this effort. Juneteenth is an important reminder of how far we’ve come in the fight for equality, and of how far we have left to go. Voting rights, police and criminal justice reform, equity in education and child care, and more. We can't stop here. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I had the privilege of speaking with @ILCADV about the need to pass my #VOCAFix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act & reauthorize VAWA. I'm proud to stand with them in the fight to end domestic violence and support victims & survivors with quality, comprehensive services. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The filibuster has been abused for far too long and it has brought nothing but partisan gridlock. The Senate can’t even agree to investigate the worst attack on the U.S. Capitol in more than 200 years. Surely, there is a better way to govern. https://t.co/UpvuA73Z7E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm continually inspired by groundbreaking research happening at @argonne. Great to speak with the lab's Board of Governors yesterday about the recently passed US Innovation & Competition Act, which would support the their work on key technologies like electric vehicle batteries. https://t.co/u60CX01LFq — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that yet another Republican effort to overturn the ACA was rejected. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinoisans—next Monday night, @SenDuckworth and I will be hosting a Facebook Live Q&A on how we can beat this pandemic and build back better. Please head over to our Facebook event discussion page to submit your questions. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/CbyGhSRfow https://t.co/H6V7Csnn2S — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

8% of post-secondary students in America enroll in #4profit colleges and universities. And yet they represent 30% of all student loan defaults nationwide. These institutions are preying upon vulnerable students. @usedgov must be aggressive in protecting students and taxpayers. https://t.co/me0HyItlA2 — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulation’s to Chicago’s own Reginald “Reggio the Hoofer” McClaughlin for being named a 2021 @NEAarts National Heritage Fellow! For more than 50 years, Reggio has inspired others with his distinctive “hoofing.” He could not be more deserving of this honor. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I applaud the Attorney General for rescinding these anti-asylum Trump Admin decisions, which undermined more than 40 years of proud U.S. leadership in providing safe haven to refugees and deprived some of the most vulnerable victims of persecution from protection. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the interest of transparency, this OLC memo should be public – and given its role in misleading the Judiciary Committee about Special Counsel Mueller’s findings, it should be produced for the Committee without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

It was an honor to meet with @VP Harris, DACA recipients and TPS holders in the White House last night. Congress cannot make any more excuses for failing to provide Dreamers and TPS holders a pathway to citizenship. The time is now. #LetThemDream https://t.co/hLL5AqQAEC — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS has done an outstanding job of reasserting America’s role as a champion of democracy this week. From the G-7 summit to his meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the Biden Administration is demonstrating what American leadership, generosity, and decency look like. https://t.co/njQrip6YKp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today @JudiciaryDems is holding the first pro-choice Senate hearing since 2014. I'm proud to join @SenBlumenthal in supporting the Women’s Health Protection Act—a critical step towards ensuring people across the US have access to safe, legal abortions. #WHPA #ActForAbortionAccess — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SenCapito & I are leading the way with the bipartisan RISE from Trauma Act to increase funding for community efforts to address the impact of trauma & train health care, education, & social service providers to foster resilience so our kids can thrive.https://t.co/P31CDYROyZ — PolitiTweet.org
