Honored to have Vice President Kamala Harris in Chicago today to talk vaccine equity and tour @chicagolabor’s vaccination clinic. @POTUS & @VP’s American Rescue Plan has enabled us to significantly expand vaccine access and get more shots in arms every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Dozens of Chicagoans have been shot over the past few days. Congress must act to address this public health crisis and help reduce the number of deaths and shootings. Common sense gun safety reform must be a top priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tragic. My thoughts are with this young child and his family today and I am praying for him to pull through. — PolitiTweet.org

Food banks like the Chicago @FoodDepository have been an indispensable resource for so many during this pandemic. I’ll keep doing everything I can to support our nation's food banks and ensure every American family has food on their table. https://t.co/f9INyKGpKa — PolitiTweet.org

On my way to see @VP, I had to make a pit stop at @ConniesPizza to grab a bite to eat and chat with owner Jim Stolfe. https://t.co/oABttbrYyG — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a happy Easter to all those celebrating in Illinois and around the world. The past year has been extremely difficult for us all. I hope that everyone is able to connect safely with family, friends, and loved ones over this holiday weekend. https://t.co/LTbW42R3E8 — PolitiTweet.org

My heart breaks at the news of the tragic death of a U.S. Capitol Police officer today and another officer injured. I am praying for their families, friends, and for the entire U.S. Capitol Police force who have suffered so much grief and loss these past few months. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thankful for the brave men and women of the U.S. Capitol Police and the National Guard who are responding to the scene at the Capitol. Keeping all those in the area in my prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This bill will be a test of our free market economy and democracy. Will the GOP try to filibuster America into second place in the world? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The GOP is already throwing in the towel on American leadership in the world when it comes to fostering competitiveness and combatting climate change. China has a plan and the political will to implement do so. Meanwhile, the GOP would have us in full retreat. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@RepCindyAxne and I worked hard to get tax relief for unemployed Americans into the American Rescue Plan. Glad to see the IRS is moving quickly to help Americans take advantage of the tax exclusion for unemployment benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Comprehensive immigration reform will bring undocumented workers out of the shadows & eliminate the unfair & exploitative underground economy. And all of these workers will be paying taxes, which will increase tax revenues by billions of dollars every year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We must reform our broken immigration system to protect and create good paying American jobs and grow our economy. American workers whose jobs are “on the books” cannot compete with undocumented workers who work “off the books." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m joining a group of @SenateDems in calling for recurring stimulus checks and automatic unemployment extensions tied to economic conditions. COVID-19 is far from over and now is not the time to relent in our efforts to aid struggling Americans. https://t.co/gk0fQhoucP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thank you to @ChiPubSchools for lifting up #TransDayOfVisibility. As I said in the recent @JudiciaryDems hearing on the Equality Act, instead of discriminating against and marginalizing LGBTQ kids, we should be working toward a more inclusive America. https://t.co/CeckECv1tl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The fact that overcrowding of kids at our borders occurred under both the Obama and Trump Admins is cold comfort as we see the shocking photos on the morning news. Congress cannot hide behind the filibuster. After 35 years of excuses, comprehensive immigration reform is overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is not an exercise in political correctness to condemn these hate crimes and those who slyly encourage them with their choice of words—it's a moral imperative to call out injustice and do something about it. That starts with the former president's inflammatory rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While it's fair to condemn the bystanders who did not come to the aid of the Filipino woman brutally attacked in NY, we ourselves are bystanders if we are silent in the face of anti-Asian discrimination. Thoughts, prayers, and tweets are not enough. We need urgent federal action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If we are going to protect vulnerable communities from the effects of climate change, we will need a coordinated national strategy. My climate bonds bill with @RepTedDeutch can help fund these crucial resiliency efforts. https://t.co/0yN5QJTKB7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every person deserves to be loved and accepted for who they are and live a life free from unjust discrimination. On this #TransDayOfVisibility, I am proud to stand alongside the transgender community in the fight for acceptance and equal rights under the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thanks to @EverThriveIL for joining me virtually yesterday to talk about the vital resources included in the American Rescue Plan and how they will benefit Illinois children and families. https://t.co/bR2NOPNPwN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm joining @SenSherrodBrown, @SenAmyKlobuchar, and others in writing @NSF Director Panchanathan to request information on his efforts to support women in our nation's research workforce whose careers have been negatively and disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/KIv3vFMYnh — PolitiTweet.org

For the past year, our nation’s doctors and health care workers have risked they lives caring for COVID-19 patients. We cannot thank them—and their families—enough for all the sacrifices they have made in the fight against this virus. #NationalDoctorsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas in the fight against COVID-19. We all need to do our part to #StopTheSpread and help life get back to normal. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and get vaccinated when you are eligible. Together we will beat this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m particularly heartened by the nomination of former federal public defender Candace Jackson-Akiwumi to an Illinois seat on the Seventh Circuit. I look forward to processing her nomination expeditiously. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The American Rescue Plan makes the Child Tax Credit fully refundable & increases the amount to ensure that more families will be able to receive the help they need. Nationwide, this expansion will lift 4.1 million children out of poverty. https://t.co/pU7rOnggJA — PolitiTweet.org
