Today is the 212th birthday of Abraham Lincoln. As we honor the life and legacy of this great Illinoisan, it is hard to forget the events that took place in the Capitol on January 6. One terrible image, in particular, comes to mind. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump may no longer be President, but the hate that he stirred up remains and must be addressed. We all must speak out against the discrimination and hatred that is being directed towards our Asian-American brothers and sisters. — PolitiTweet.org

Will be joining @Morning_Joe on @MSNBC this morning to discuss my takeaways from the impeachment trail so far. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every single Senator knows exactly what happened on January 6—we were all eyewitnesses to that terrible spectacle. It’s time to hold Donald Trump accountable for the insurrection he incited. https://t.co/PGCaB6DPGi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ll be joining @ErinBurnett on @OutFrontCNN soon to discuss the strong case that the House managers made over the last few days. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If my Republican colleagues can watch all of that evidence and still believe there’s nothing we can do to hold Donald Trump accountable for inciting the attempted violent overthrow of our government, then shame on us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Over the last two days, the House impeachment managers opened our eyes to the full scope of what occurred on January 6. America and many brave law enforcement officers paid a heavy price for Donald Trump’s “Big Lie.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I applaud President Biden’s decision to renew sanctions on key figures in the Burmese coup. Time for neighboring China and Thailand to play more constructive roles in this shameful power grab. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After 3 outrageous years in detention for simply advocating for women’s rights, I’m glad Loujain al-Hathloul has finally been released. It’s time the Saudis release countless other political prisoners, including journalist Raif Badawi & human rights lawyer Waleed Abu al-Khair. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We need to do more to combat COVID-19 in our nation’s prisons. That's why I’m announcing bipartisan legislation today to help ensure the most vulnerable prisoners are safely released or transferred to home confinement for the remainder of their sentence. https://t.co/eZvHYVtZbi — PolitiTweet.org

You can read more about our bill to make sure we never get caught short-handed again here: https://t.co/4rgXGHqNaf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It’s an outrage that our health heroes have not had the masks, gloves, & supplies they need to safely serve our communities during COVID-19. @SenBillCassidy & I are announcing the PPE in America Act to prevent supply chain shortages & make more medical products in the USA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The whole world saw today how the January 6 mob attacked the police at the Capitol and how close they came to VP Pence and to Members of Congress. We know who sent that mob. Now the obvious question is whether he will be held responsible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour shortly to discuss what we've seen so far today in the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We can’t let Donald Trump and his supporters rewrite the history of what happened on January 6. They'd have you believe the violence of that day had nothing to do with the former President. This impeachment trial is about setting the record straight. https://t.co/dLV7acz7IJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The 1908 Springfield Race Riots were a violent and hateful tragedy that are a part of Illinois’ tumultuous history and shouldn’t be forgotten. Proud to join @SenDuckworth in re-introducing legislation to designate the riot site as a national monument. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'll be on @MSNBC soon to discuss what we saw yesterday during Donald Trump's second impeachment trial and what we might expect to see today. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This bill will help millions of people safely put food on the table during the pandemic, especially in rural areas, and will allow purchasing from additional and smaller community retailers. https://t.co/C5MpH2u6Kg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congress needs to be doing everything we can to help struggling American families keep food on their tables. That's why I am introducing legislation with @SenDuckworth and @SenateDems to increase access to online grocery shopping for SNAP beneficiaries. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I enjoyed having the chance to speak with athletes and self-advocates from @SO_Illinois yesterday during their #SOHillDay. I will continue doing everything I can to ensure @SpecialOlympics has the federal funding it needs to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tune in: I'll be on @CNN @NewDay shortly to discuss my takeaways from day one of Donald Trump's second impeachment trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Pleased to announce a bipartisan agreement to expedite Merrick Garland’s confirmation as the next Attorney General. After unprecedented Republican obstruction, Judge Garland will finally get the hearing & vote he deserves. Hearing to occur 2/22 & 2/23. Vote in Committee on 3/1. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Make sure you tune in to @Maddow on @MSNBC tonight. I’ll be joining to discuss my takeaways from the first day of the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We cannot create a ‘January exception’ for the President of the United States. An attempted coup that is not punished is simply a warm-up for the next time. Donald Trump is subject to a court of impeachment and will be tried by the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

No one, not even the President of the United States, has a First Amendment right to incite an insurrection against our government. That’s not a right—it’s a high crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

To my colleagues who believe the First Amendment was designed to protect the efforts of a lame duck President to overthrow our government, you might as well create a recipe for a democracy to die of its own accord. — PolitiTweet.org
