Extending CARES Act bankruptcy provisions until March 2022 will provide critical relief to families and small businesses facing hardships due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Congress must pass my new bipartisan legislation with Senator @ChuckGrassley: https://t.co/EYyWr5LVDm — PolitiTweet.org

On the 7th anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Crimea, I join President Biden in reaffirming this simple truth: Crimea is Ukraine. I’m glad that the United States is finally standing up to Russian aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

Had a great discussion yesterday with @DHSgov Secretary Mayorkas. We are a nation of immigrants and I look forward to working with Sec. Mayorkas to make sure we live up to that part of America’s heritage and finally fix our broken immigration system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The events of Jan. 6 put on full display that violent white supremacists pose the most significant domestic terrorism threat to our nation. I expressed my concerns to FBI Director Wray regarding the Bureau’s response to this threat & look forward to hearing his testimony Tuesday. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It was good to hear from local IL health officials who are leading this incredible public health undertaking of COVID-19 vaccinations, testing, & community engagement. I'm grateful for their commitment to our communities & will keep working to get them the resources they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is extremely sad that some of my Republican colleagues have decided to fully embrace wild conspiracy theories and baselessly suggest that liberal activists are somehow behind the events of January 6. We were all there. We’ve all seen the footage. We all know who is to blame. https://t.co/t8HC00Vaik — PolitiTweet.org

This study confirms a major problem: Big Pharma is making a killing from Medicare payments on discarded medication, while seniors pay. @SenRobPortman and I have legislation—the REFUND Act—to end Big Pharma’s colossal waste and save billions. https://t.co/UtKqdXEMQG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The #CitizensUnited decision opened the floodgates for special interests and dark money to take hold of our democracy. That's why I'm proud to cosponsor the #DISCLOSE Act to require transparency from big-money donors. It's time we crack down on secret spending in our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Right now, there's an unfair double standard where every DOJ employee can be investigated by the DOJ IG except DOJ lawyers. This simple, common sense reform will correct this loophole and enhance oversight and public accountability at the Department of Justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Whoever the Attorney General is, he or she should be subject to independent oversight. That's why I introduced the bipartisan Inspector General Access Act with @SenMikeLee to give DOJ's Office of the Inspector General the power to review the conduct of DOJ attorneys. — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed having the chance to meet again today with Illinois members of the National Guard alongside @SenDuckworth and @RepCheri. Thank you for your service to our country and for doing your part to protect our nation’s Capital. https://t.co/PrSytsLhnD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

No amount of vile bullying is going to stop @RepMarieNewman or the #EqualityAct. Proud to stand with the transgender community as we work to pass this critical legislation and combat hateful discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congratulation, @JenGranholm. Clean energy and scientific research is our future and I can’t wait to see all the good things you will do as Secretary of Energy. — PolitiTweet.org

My Republican colleagues seem to think that COVID-19 is already behind us. But this is still a national crisis. And we must respond by passing President Biden’s American Rescue Plan. https://t.co/CV9urk5TLB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ve heard from too many Illinoisans who have experienced hardship with breakdowns in USPS service over the past year, despite the incredible effort of postal workers. Americans have always counted on our postal service. It’s time to restore its reputation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ll be joining @wolfblitzer on @CNN soon to discuss the latest on COVID-19 relief and Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination to be the next Attorney General of the United States. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

A $15 federal minimum wage is long overdue. Illinois is already leading the way to $15 an hour by 2025. It’s time for the federal government to catch up. https://t.co/Y3wt7ZPhOK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I led a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting information on the FBI’s response to the ongoing threat of domestic terrorism in the U.S. I look forward to Director Wray's prompt response, and his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee next Tuesday. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The American people need to know whether the FBI is allocating resources in a manner that reflects the scale of the threat posed by violent white supremacists, whom DHS has called ‘the most persistent and lethal threat in the Homeland.' — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

That’s why @SenDuckworth and I are introducing the MOMMA Act to help provide more comprehensive and culturally competent maternal and postpartum health care for all women and babies. You can read more about our bill here: https://t.co/AvBNBOFGLw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the United States, Black women are about three times more likely than white women to die as a result of their pregnancy. In Illinois, Black women are six times more likely than white women to die. This is a national tragedy and these disparities are unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Going to the Senate floor to discuss the MOMMA Act that I will be introducing with @SenDuckworth this afternoon. Watch live here: https://t.co/g1RslXcT43 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While COVID-19 has captured our attention, two other deadly epidemics in America rage on: opioids & the mental health crisis. We must pass the American Rescue Plan to provide our communities with the resources they need to support struggling families & expand treatment services. https://t.co/1pNpVV0JP5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to introduce the POST Act with @RepCohen. This bill will close a loophole that incentivizes predatory #4profit colleges from funneling federal dollars to their bottom lines by exploiting veterans and service members. https://t.co/ohZW38C4M8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Biden’s American Rescue Plan needs to be passed as quickly as possible. Senate and House Republicans need to put partisan politics aside and work with Democrats to get the American people the help they need to make it through this crisis. https://t.co/9CYbqHLIQa — PolitiTweet.org
