In the spirit of unity that we saw on the West Front of the Capitol on Wednesday, the Senate must come together on a bipartisan basis and provide the resources the American people need to survive this pandemic & this lengthy financial hardship. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The bipartisan package that passed Congress in December was a down payment. President Biden's plan is needed to get the virus under control & prevent lasting damage to our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today’s meeting made clear that the Biden Administration’s top legislative priority is passing the American Rescue Plan. It’s refreshing & long overdue to have @POTUS, @VP, & @WhiteHouse fully engaged in addressing this pandemic with a focus on science & federal leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The American people want Congress to take action on COVID-19, the economy, & a host of other issues. If we're going to work in a bipartisan fashion, we need to go ahead & pass the organizing resolution without the extra McConnell language on the filibuster. https://t.co/iEZVvMdBxa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

These former heads of @DHSgov are absolutely right—@AliMayorkas should be confirmed as soon as possible. Every day that we delay increases the risk to our national security. https://t.co/TPHNFq4AN4 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexei Navalny has displayed immense courage in his fight for Russian democracy and he should be released from jail immediately. The Russian people deserve so much better than Putin’s corrupt autocracy. — PolitiTweet.org

As a first step, we are asking for Acting AG Wilkinson's immediate assurance that the Department will preserve and produce all relevant materials in the DOJ’s possession, custody, or control related to this plot. https://t.co/alX19SWHDo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The information revealed by this story raises deeply troubling questions regarding DOJ's role in Trump’s scheme to overturn the election. The Senate Judiciary Committee will conduct vigorous oversight of these matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tune in to @MeetThePress tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

After Lukashenko stole a previous election, I called the International Ice Hockey Federation to cancel its World Championship in Belarus. I am glad to see @IIHF is finally doing the right thing and denying Lukashenko any such honor. https://t.co/MIvWn5FOzq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Biden isn’t wasting any time in his efforts to get our economy back on track and help those hardest hit by this pandemic. It is a refreshing and long overdue sight to have the President fully engaged in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

On the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I remain committed to protecting the right to choose. We must continue fighting for equitable and accessible reproductive health care in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

General Austin is a true patriot and statesman who has served our country with honor and dignity. He will make an outstanding Secretary of Defense and I am glad that he was quickly confirmed on a bipartisan basis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Rest in peace to Hammerin’ Hank Aaron, the home run king. Perhaps the greatest baseball player who ever lived, he started in the Negro Leagues and made it all the way to the pinnacle of his sport. He is, and will always be, a legend. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This was a blockheaded decision and whoever made it should be sleeping in a parking garage tonight themselves. I hope this situation is finally fixed and that those responsible are held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ll be on @MSNBC with @HallieJackson soon to discuss President Biden’s inauguration, his first actions on COVID-19, and more. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Will be joining @CNNnewsroom momentarily to discuss the first few days of the Biden Administration and my plan to hold the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 accountable. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Nice to speak with AG nominee Merrick Garland today about restoring integrity to the Justice Department. As incoming Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I look forward to working with him to address the urgent challenges facing our nation. https://t.co/yc4Ep4tq7t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Biden—unlike his predecessor—understands just how serious this pandemic is & how we must stop it. Glad to see he is implementing his COVID-19 response as fast as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed speaking with Ambassador William Burns today. He is a trusted, nonpartisan leader who will make a great CIA Director & I look forward to working with Ambassador Burns in this role in order to rebuild trust & confidence in our intelligence community. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Like many of you, I was blown away yesterday by poet @TheAmandaGorman. This line particularly struck me: “we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished” Thank you for sharing your words with us, Amanda. — PolitiTweet.org

Going to the Senate floor to discuss President Biden’s first day in office and quick actions on COVID-19. Watch live: https://t.co/747mMFzQAV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The terrorists who raided the United States Capitol must be held accountable. And Donald Trump must be held accountable for his incitement of that mob. Our new Senate majority will make both a priority. https://t.co/qYJBYpNaLG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After the inauguration ceremony yesterday, I saw a man in a Carhart jacket standing in the back. I stopped to thank @garthbrooks on behalf of his many Democratic fans for his rendition of “Amazing Grace.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Will be joining @Morning_Joe on @MSNBC shortly to discuss yesterday's inauguration and the executive orders that @POTUS signed on day one. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The United States should never have disengaged from the WHO in the first place, especially during the pandemic. Glad to see @POTUS is taking immediate action to recommit to the global fight against COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Avril Haines just made history as the first woman to become the United States Director of National Intelligence. Though she has a big job ahead of her, I have full confidence that she has the experience and expertise to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With his Executive Orders, President Biden is turning the page on four years of immigration policies that dragged our country backwards. Today, we move forward with a vision that reflects our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants. My full statement: https://t.co/Rwmu2esKnm — PolitiTweet.org
