Internet access keeps kids connected to school, patients connected to doctors, & families connected to each other. I'm joining my Senate colleagues to call on @USDA, @HUDgov, & @FCC to use a collaborative approach to improve broadband connectivity & promote the Lifeline program. https://t.co/jL6matIKU5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republicans are doing everything they can to put the United States on track for a solid second place finish. If we want to lead the world in the 21st century, we can’t be pinching pennies. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1990, the U.S. represented 37% of global manufacturing capacity. Today, only 12% of semiconductors are manufactured in the United States. That needs to change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Next week, the Senate will continue work on critically important legislation that would make major investments in the domestic production of these chips. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Visited @mHUBChicago today to discuss a shortage of semiconductor chips that is impacting the automotive industry, including assembly plants in Chicago and Belvidere. https://t.co/kvNLYBn3Zb — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed meeting with @UnitedPowerChi and @TRPistas this morning to discuss affordable housing and economic development initiatives. Together, we can build the infrastructure that will allow America to lead the 21st century. https://t.co/ImpLPdAVgY — PolitiTweet.org

I have secured more than $1 billion in federal funding for the RPM project and I will continue to work with the Congressional Delegation to bring home the federal investments needed for the CTA to continue to serve the people of Chicago. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It was nearly a decade ago when I helped create the Core Capacity program to assist transit systems like the CTA in making the needed upgrades to aging infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Excited to join @chicagosmayor, @RepMikeQuigley, @48Ward, and @JamesCappleman for the groundbreaking of the next section of the @cta Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Project. https://t.co/26RyUX4X3F — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Senate should pass my bipartisan amendment with @SenBillCassidy to support domestic PPE manufacturers who stepped up in response to COVID-19. Our PPE in America Act will ensure our health care heroes do not face shortages of masks, gowns & gloves again.https://t.co/3SjuzLuSGp — PolitiTweet.org

On this #LouGehrigDay, I’m thinking about all those who get up every morning with the bravery to take on this terrible disease. We must finally commit to finding new treatments and a cure for ALS. We are all in this fight together. — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence is a public health crisis that requires not just thoughts and prayers, but urgent action. David Chipman will be ready on day one to carry out a mission that every Senator should support: taking common sense, constitutional steps to make our communities safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After years of excuses under the Trump Admin, we finally have @EPA leadership willing to treat ethylene oxide as a public health threat. My bill with @SenDuckworth & @RepSchneider calls for a change to emission standards to better protect IL communities. https://t.co/KfBSJxXdWp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Tulsa Race Massacre is one of the most horrifying chapters in American history. As we remember that violent day 100 years ago, we must all stand together against the racism that led to this massacre and that still drives violence and discrimination in the country today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I will continue to work with @SenDuckworth and @RepCheri to bring federal investment to @FlyRFD. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Whether it’s the expansion of cargo operations or the partnership between @United and @AARCORP for aircraft maintenance, @FlyRFD has brought together public and private investment to create jobs. Great to visit today and celebrate success. https://t.co/DZ2wczavvw — PolitiTweet.org

We are a nation of immigrants made immeasurably stronger by the vast contributions of diverse communities to our society. My promise to Dreamers, TPS recipients, and immigrant families this #immigrantheritagemonth and every day: I will never stop fighting for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We’ve come a long way in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality—but we still have a long way to go. Proud to reaffirm my commitment to that fight this month. Happy #Pride Month! https://t.co/Ele1G7bYrQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is why a Jan 6 commission is so important. Trump loyalists are doing everything they can to rewrite the history of what happened that day. By leading the effort to block this commission, Sen. McConnell is doing everything he can to help them succeed. https://t.co/jfm3YsxdBQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to join @maziehirono & @SenDuckworth in this effort to recognize the contributions & achievements of the AAPI community, as well as the hardships they have faced. As a diverse nation, we are made stronger by celebrating the heritage & traditions of Asian Americans. #APAHM — PolitiTweet.org

This Memorial Day, when thousands of American families are missing someone at their dinner tables, we must remember those to whom we owe our safety and security, as well as their families. On this Memorial Day, let us remember their courage. https://t.co/SzkKLQz4zZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is now up to Congress to take this progressive vision and pass a budget that reflects President Biden’s priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If America wants to lead the 21st century, we can’t be afraid of investing in our people. Pres. Biden's budget prepares workers for the jobs of the future, rebuilds our infrastructure, gives families & children a foundation for success, & protects our public health & environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

An insurrection without consequences—without even a proper investigation—is a dress rehearsal for another insurrection. There should have been 100 votes for thoroughly investigating January 6. But Republicans still fear the truth and the wrath of Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

An insurrection without consequences or examination is a dress rehearsal for the next one. We must establish a bipartisan commission on January 6 and the events leading up to it. Anything less is unacceptable. https://t.co/YFEVkmYjNZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Trump Muslim travel ban was a disgrace. We must make sure that kind of xenophobic policy can never happen again. Proud to join @ChrisCoons & @SenAlexPadilla to introduce the NO BAN Act and Access to Counsel Act. — PolitiTweet.org
