The public must have reassurance that our Justice Department is ready to respond to the threats facing us and is dedicated to ensuring equal justice under law. Tune in to learn why I have no doubt that Lisa Monaco and Vanita Gupta are both up to the task. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a welcome decision by the Biden Administration. TPS for Venezuelans in the United States is long overdue and will protect people from being forced to return to political violence and a terrible humanitarian crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

This is an especially historic #InternationalWomensDay as women—particularly women of color—are making history across the political spectrum. Yet leaders like Vanita Gupta and Kristen Clarke are facing blatantly false attacks from far-right politicians. My latest in @rollcall: — PolitiTweet.org

Empowering women around the world will improve life for everyone. This #InternationalWomensDay, we recognize the vast and significant contributions of women around the globe and recommit ourselves to supporting the next generation of women as they lead our world forward. https://t.co/C2Sl50mZOv — PolitiTweet.org

We should be making it easier, not harder, for all eligible Americans to participate in our democracy. I commend the Biden-Harris Administration for taking this step. As Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’m committed to protecting and expanding access to the ballot box. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today marks the 56th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and our first since the passing of John Lewis. The men & women who marched that day in support of voting rights demonstrated remarkable courage. We must honor their legacy by finishing their fight for voting rights. https://t.co/6KCoHq75Di — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is a big winner in President Biden’s American Rescue Plan: ✅$275M for vaccine distribution ✅$1.5B for our local health departments ✅$5B to help reopen our schools ✅$13.2B in aid to our state & local governments And so much more. https://t.co/ZdgqcyJDP1 — PolitiTweet.org

It's a shame Republicans were unwilling to vote for this relief bill. @SenateDems will continue to listen to the American people & public health experts as we work to put this pandemic behind us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We have no greater responsibility than to put an end to this pandemic and get the economy back on its feet. The American Rescue Plan will get that done. — PolitiTweet.org

24 hours later and the Senate is still working through Republican objections to the American Rescue Plan. They can keep this delaying for however long they want—Senate Democrats are going get this relief to the American people no matter what. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cruz's claim is only meant to rile people up over something that's not true. You cannot receive a stimulus check without a Social Security #. That’s a fact. Instead of discriminating against mixed-status families, let’s prioritize getting more relief to more families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tired, but still fighting off bad GOP amendments @ 10AM. Our criminal justice system is in many respects broken. Instead of working to repair it, Sen. Cassidy's amendment would result in further injustices. Kids shouldn't go hungry because they have a parent who is incarcerated. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After more than 21 hours on the Senate floor, Sen. Tuberville further delayed relief for American families with an amendment attacking transgender kids. But the @SenateDems majority made it clear: trans kids should not be used as political pawns, and #TransRightsAreHumanRights — PolitiTweet.org

Proud that my provision w/@SenDuckworth & @RepRobinKelly to extend health care coverage for new moms on Medicaid from 60 days after pregnancy to 1 year is included in Biden's Rescue Plan. It'll help save lives of new mothers, especially women of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Trump’s immigration policies failed and did not make us safer. Doubling down on them is not the answer. Sen. Cotton’s amendment ignores the public safety experience of local law enforcement leaders and would block federal relief funds our communities desperately need. https://t.co/LD81bwJKJT — PolitiTweet.org

I have been fighting for a long time to close the 90/10 loophole that incentivizes #4profit colleges to target veterans and service members. I’m glad the American Rescue Plan finally does it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud that provisions from my Strengthening America’s Health Care Readiness Act will be included in the American Rescue Plan, providing a historic $1B investment in our pipeline of doctors, nurses & other health heroes to address health disparities & workforce shortages. — PolitiTweet.org
