This is a tragedy. Two FBI agents have been fatally shot and three more injured in the line of duty today in Florida. My prayers go out to the victims, their loved ones, and to the FBI community. https://t.co/1B0Mchlx55 — PolitiTweet.org

Putin is afraid of the Russian people because he knows he does not have their support. That's why he refuses to hold a fair election and that is why he is so scared of Alexei Navalny. https://t.co/dxcn5LnFo8 — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t afford to waste any more time in passing President Biden’s American Rescue Plan. The American people need help and they need it now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

There is no excuse for Senate Judiciary Republicans to delay Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination to be the next Attorney General. I’m calling on Sen. Graham—who is still Chair of the Committee even though his party is in the minority—to end this delay & schedule this hearing now. https://t.co/k0Txqir4ri — PolitiTweet.org

One million COVID-19 vaccine doses is an important milestone for Illinois, but this fight is still far from over. We need to pass President Biden's American Rescue Plan ASAP to help get more vaccines into more Illinoisans' arms. — PolitiTweet.org

More than 100 Americans die every day from gun violence. This #GVSurvivorsWeek, we recognize survivors of gun violence & remember all those we have lost. We have a lot of work to do to make this country a safer place. I will do all I can to reduce deadly shootings & save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Democracy is under assault in Burma. If the military does not give up on this coup attempt, I would urge President Biden to consider renewing previously lifted sanctions on the country and its government. https://t.co/dyuQvrRyC3 — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor and celebrate the countless contributions of African Americans to our history and culture. But we also recognize the many injustices that this community has faced and recommit ourselves to building a more equitable and just society. https://t.co/3tHpPdK2zF — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of my home state of Illinois for the progress it has made on behalf of its vibrant LGBTQ community, receiving the highest possible marks from @HRC. https://t.co/cQwNA5yYxP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Illinois is doing a herculean job trying to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine, but @SenDuckworth and I know that more resources are needed. Proud to have secured more than $43 million in federal funding for Illinois vaccine distribution. https://t.co/QtiL6aqcpZ — PolitiTweet.org

One year ago today, Illinoisan Mark Frerich was abducted in Afghanistan. He remains in captivity there to this day. I urge President Biden to do what President Trump could not. Let’s bring Mark home. https://t.co/16E3GWiHFQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to support @ChrisVanHollen, @SenatorCarper, and @EleanorNorton in their effort to grant D.C. full control over its National Guard and Police force. We all saw what happened in our nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6—it’s clear why D.C. needs this authority. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke with @SecDef Lloyd Austin yesterday for the first time since his confirmation. I look forward to working with him to support our men and women in uniform and to address the serious issues of sexual assault, extremism, and discrimination within our military's ranks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Vladimir Putin is a thuggish autocrat who has built his regime on violence and suppression of thought. The Russian people deserve better. https://t.co/Ksy6ofibWi — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @SenLeiladeLima. And as the four year anniversary of your unjust & politically-motivated arrest approaches, I want to assure you that I will never stop supporting your fight for human rights in the Philippines. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Women still make only 82 cents for every dollar paid to men on average—and the gap is even wider for women of color. I have long been a proud supporter of the #PaycheckFairnessAct. We cannot rest until equal pay is a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Small businesses have been hit hard by this pandemic. It was great to speak with Isabel Guzman this week about her plans for helping small businesses weather this storm as President Biden's @SBAgov Administrator. https://t.co/64dGKlTfFE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Another heartbreaking casualty of the January 6 insurrection. My prayers are with Officer Jeffrey Smith and his family and friends. Rest in peace. https://t.co/QRBZK5t3lV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SenateDems had a productive conversation with the White House yesterday about President Biden’s American Rescue Plan. It is vitally important for Congress to pass this relief package as soon as possible—now is not the time to take our foot off the accelerator. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I strongly support the Biden Admin’s decision to extend Temporary Protected Status for Syria, which remains one of the most violent places on earth. There is nothing more American than providing safety to those in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If Congress does not act, millions of unemployed Americans will soon be facing a tax burden. Congress should take up the legislation I introduced last fall to provide tax relief to these workers and their families. https://t.co/ZrIjhldWkE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The sentencing disparity between crack & powder cocaine disproportionally impacts people of color. @SenBooker and I are introducing the EQUAL Act to get rid of this discriminatory sentencing disparity for good. https://t.co/Txf6uurHnj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With these Executive Orders, President Biden is demonstrating that he is putting the health and wellbeing of American families first and that he will always protect Americans with pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke with @wallyadeyemo today about his plans for working with @JanetYellen at the Treasury Department. I have full confidence that he will make an outstanding Deputy Secretary & I look forward to working with him to help our economy recover from COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Washington, D.C. is home to more than 700,000 taxpaying citizens. They deserve equal representation in Congress and the authority to make decisions over local affairs. #DCStatehood https://t.co/7GA8FAZZv2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Over the last two days, I had the chance to speak with @LisaMonaco and @vanitaguptacr. They will serve the Justice Department well as Deputy AG and Associate AG, and I look forward to working closely with them as Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

We won’t bring back our economy with half-hearted measures. President Biden’s COVID-19 rescue package is exactly the kind of bold action we need to help struggling families and get kids back to school. https://t.co/Wf370C7d3v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Speaking live on the Senate floor about why we must pass President Biden’s COVID-19 rescue package as soon as possible. Watch live: https://t.co/mQUFHGET43 — PolitiTweet.org
