Was called to the WH today to meet with @POTUS about our shared commitment to increasing federal funding for medical research. We both personally understand the toll of cancer for millions of families, so I'm honored to join him in finding ways to support medical research. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The vast majority of Americans support President Biden’s American Rescue Plan and Senate Democrats are moving forward as quickly as we can to pass this package and get relief to the American people. I urge my Republican colleagues to stop obstructing and join us. https://t.co/k0O5wA91XZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Nearly one year ago, @chicagolabor asked me to help laid-off workers keep their employer health insurance plans. So proud that we could work together to include full COBRA coverage in the final draft of the American Rescue Plan. Millions of families will benefit as a result. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Swipe fee increases hurt small businesses & consumers. @Visa & @Mastercard should halt their reported plans to increase fees next month. Main Street merchants have been struggling during this pandemic, and higher fees won’t help. My letter to Visa & Mastercard with @PeterWelch: https://t.co/SDwBYr3op2 — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed having the chance to speak with members of the Illinois Soybean Association yesterday about agricultural priorities in Illinois. As a member of @SenateAgDems, I look forward to working on behalf of their priorities this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I wish the @ASEAN members had gone further to address the crisis in Burma, but this is a start. We must all do our part to stand with those who are peacefully demanding the restoration of democracy. https://t.co/3vRFJfQHPQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Republicans are on to their second attempt at a “Big Lie,” suggesting that “fake Trump protestors” led the storming of the Capitol on January 6. FBI Director Wray could not have been clearer today in his testimony—this is an outright lie. https://t.co/2wVeTidFhj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see the Senate parliamentarian has ruled in favor of Democrats’ COBRA provision in the American Rescue Plan. This will go a long way towards helping unemployed Americans keep their health insurance throughout this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Republicans are finally starting to say the quiet part out loud. For years, they have worked to make it harder for people of color and other marginalized communities to vote because they think it helps them win elections. So much for “election integrity.” https://t.co/MiN1WJXkfW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Sending my congratulations to @GinaRaimondo on her confirmation as Secretary of Commerce. I was proud to support her nomination and look forward to working with her to support American workers and businesses throughout this pandemic and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Biden Administration is doing everything they can to get Americans vaccinated, but Congress needs to do its part too. We cannot afford to delay passing the President’s American Rescue any longer. https://t.co/MwViYFOh27 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @NicolleDWallace on @MSNBC shortly to discuss today’s @JudiciaryDems oversight hearing with FBI Director Wray and the latest on COVID-19 relief in the Senate. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see that Pres. Biden is doing what Pres. Trump would not by substantially invoking the Defense Production Act to ramp up vaccine production. This historic partnership will go a long way towards getting Illinoisans and Americans vaccinated quickly. https://t.co/mcPNkrb4Yb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Illinoisans—the Biden Admin. has re-opened https://t.co/f7h9qfYNEo for a special open enrollment period until May 15. If you are uninsured, please go to https://t.co/f7h9qfYNEo today to sign up for a health insurance plan. We all need access to health care during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see the United States is once again working to hold Putin accountable for his brutality. We cannot allow him to get away with poisoning and jailing his political opponents. https://t.co/iU0GYICFj7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

That's why @RepCindyAxne & I have intro'd legislation to provide tax relief to unemployed Americans. We should be doing everything we can to help struggling families grapple with this pandemic. https://t.co/AKeq5xxM83 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Families across America are struggling to keep a roof over their head and food on the table—there is no reason to tax unemployment benefits during this crisis. https://t.co/haJAN8wDXh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Putin will try anything to avoid having to compete in a fair election. The Russian people deserve better. https://t.co/EMYmJ3GNxB — PolitiTweet.org

Instituting universal background checks would meaningfully reduce gun violence in America. I am a proud supporter of this commonsense legislation to make our country a safer place. — PolitiTweet.org

For far too long our federal government has failed to address the growing terrorist menace in our own backyard. We need to be abundantly clear that white supremacists and other far-right extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As we examine domestic terrorism and other threats in today's Senate Judiciary hearing, it's time for my Republican colleagues to join me in acknowledging—as DHS found last October—that violent white supremacy is “the most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every day that we delay in passing the American Rescue Plan, more small businesses close their doors, more Americans lose their jobs, & more families turn to food banks & soup kitchens for their next meal. We can't wait any longer. It's time to act. https://t.co/IlyRVRAHma — PolitiTweet.org
