Thanks to Illinois @jstreetdotorg members today for the engaging discussion about the pursuit of peace in the Middle East, returning to the Iran nuclear agreement, and increasing global access to #COVID19 vaccines, including to the Palestinian people. https://t.co/QYilrQKsM7 — PolitiTweet.org

In 2012, Westwood College used deceptive marketing practices to defraud up to 3,600 Illinois students. The Obama Administration began a review to provide these borrowers relief, but it was spiked by Betsy DeVos. I hope Sec. Cardona will re-open this case as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I’m asking @SecCardona to work with @KwameRaoul to provide prompt, automatic, group relief to Illinois students who were defrauded by now-defunct #4profit Westwood College. https://t.co/DlLGbmtygr — PolitiTweet.org

Supporting survivors isn't a partisan issue. Last month, @LindseyGrahamSC and I led a bipartisan, bicameral coalition introducing critical legislation to strengthen the Victims of Crime Act and I encourage the rest of our colleagues to join us. #VOCAFix #Crisis4Victims https://t.co/EyZyjEqdZA — PolitiTweet.org

That's why @senrobportman & I are introducing the REFUND Act to mandate that drug manufacturers provide a rebate to HHS for discarded medication, saving seniors and taxpayers billions in drug costs. Learn more here: https://t.co/K4sRjFu51E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While patients face outrageous drug costs, Big Pharma has been profiting off expensive medications that are simply thrown away because they are packaged in vials that contain more medicine than an average patient needs. Seniors & Medicare deserve a refund. — PolitiTweet.org

Vanita Gupta is a dedicated public servant who will make an outstanding Associate Attorney General. I’m glad that she was confirmed on a bipartisan basis and look forward to working with her to restore the reputation of the Department of Justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2011, commute times have increased by 7.3% in Illinois. President Biden’s American Jobs Plan will make historic investments in our nations' transportation infrastructure—roads and bridges—making it more resilient and saving Americans money along the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Vanita Gupta is exceptionally well-qualified to be Associate AG. I’m live on the Senate floor, urging my colleagues to support her nomination. #ConfirmGupta https://t.co/SagE20aYei — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Preparing American workers for the future will strengthen the middle class and reaffirm our standing as an innovative global economic power. That’s why @SenatorWarnock, @RepCheri, and I are coming together to introduce the Investing in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I know today’s ruling provides only a small measure of comfort to the Floyd family. His loss will be forever felt. We will honor George Floyd’s memory by continuing the fight for racial justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today’s verdict gives me hope that we can strive for a justice system in our nation that is applied equally to all. As @JudiciaryDems Chair, I have the forum to help move our nation nearer to that goal. To that end, the Committee will hold a hearing next month on police reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The image of Derek Chauvin staring straight into the camera as George Floyd died under his knee haunts me to this day. The injustice of his killing is undeniable. And so is the fact that systemic racism continues to plague America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Walter Mondale was a friend and will be dearly missed. After his time as VP, he came down to Quincy, Illinois, and campaigned for me during my first House race. It was an amazing sacrifice that he didn't have to make—one of many during his career. May he rest in peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm asking AG Garland to provide me with information about how many Trump political appointees requested or completed conversions to permanent jobs at DOJ, including the EOIR. We can't allow the Trump Admin's ideological agenda to continue corrupting our immigration system. https://t.co/vOCHtcXALQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

A concerning number of Trump appointees sought permanent career positions in the civil service, including at DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). I worry that the previous Admin's politicization of our immigration courts may be ongoing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the past month, unprovoked Russian attacks have killed 31 Ukrainian soldiers. I’m joining @senrobportman & a group of bipartisan Senators in urging President Biden to continue supporting Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. https://t.co/ZLDXFf6Vhd — PolitiTweet.org

From limiting drop box locations in Black and Brown communities, to reducing opportunities to vote by mail, voter suppression laws emerge from a playbook going back to the Jim Crow era. These efforts are a deliberate effort to suppress voters, particularly voters of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

At today's @JudiciaryDems hearing, both parties must come together to discuss common sense solutions to ensure fair, secure, & accessible elections. There are clear steps Congress can take right now to #RestoreTheVRA. After all, the right to vote is fundamental to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
