Spoke w/Mark Shriver from @SavetheChildren today about prioritizing the wellbeing of children in a new COVID-19 relief package, especially in rural & underserved communities. Access to food, health care, & child care has never been more important to the wellbeing of the next gen. — PolitiTweet.org

I'll be going on @CNNSitRoom with @wolfblitzer shortly to discuss COVID-19 relief negotiations and the Biden transition process. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Too many Americans are living life on the brink, waiting anxiously for relief that hasn't materialized. 1 in 8 don't have enough food. As many as 30M face the threat of eviction. We are in for a long, dark winter if Republicans don’t work with Dems to pass COVID-19 relief ASAP. https://t.co/fV7O7O56eE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If Congress does not act soon, roughly 12M Americans are going to lose access to the unemployment benefits they are relying on to get them through this pandemic on Dec. 26. @SenateDems are ready to extend these programs past the holiday season—will Republicans join us? — PolitiTweet.org

Sikh Americans have made major contributions to our nation & are an integral part of communities in Illinois and across America. Wishing a belated Happy Gurpurab to the Sikh community as they celebrated the birth anniversary of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Ultimately, the U.S. will not be completely safe from COVID-19 until a vaccine is widely distributed & administered across the world. We must do our part to help make sure every nation has access to that vaccine once it is proven to be safe & effective. https://t.co/reKvSp9TuR — PolitiTweet.org

While House Dems passed several relief proposals, Congressional Republicans & Pres. Trump have spent the last 7+ months failing to respond to COVID-19. Americans are dying because of this inaction. November was bad, but December will be worse if we don’t act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, families across America are struggling to make it through what has become the most severe economic crisis in modern history. This accomplished team will waste no time in building an economy that works for every American. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republicans must come back from their Thanksgiving break ready to work on meaningful COVID-19 relief. Health care heroes, families, & small businesses cannot wait any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If confirmed, Janet Yellen will not only become the first woman to serve as Treasury Secretary, she'll also be the first former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers & Chair of the Federal Reserve to serve in that role. @JoeBiden couldn't have chosen a more qualified person. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Illinoisans—as the pandemic rages, make sure you are covered. You can sign up for a health insurance plan at https://t.co/wM43rjghRC by December 15. There are a new options for quality, affordable insurance to choose from. #GetCovered today! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

COVID-19 levels in Illinois and across America are hitting new highs every day. It has never been more important to make sure you always wear a mask and social distance. We are in for a tragic, deadly winter if we don’t all do our part to stop the spread of this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Although #SmallBizSat looks a little bit different this year, there has never been a more important time to support your community’s local small businesses. Make sure you #ShopSmall today—I know I will! — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing Illinoisans and Americans across the country a Happy Thanksgiving! I know this year’s celebrations look different, but together we will make it through this crisis and come out on the other side stronger because of it. https://t.co/6Oz8nHrbqO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The President should use the pardon power to redress manifest injustices, not shamelessly cover up the corruption that touched the core of this Administration. I hope President-elect Biden will use clemency to help right the wrongs of our misguided “war on drugs.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Senate Judiciary Committee has become a shell of its former self under a Republican majority. But under Democratic leadership, my colleagues and I would get to work on undoing the damage of the last four years and protecting fundamental civil and human rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The 2021 open enrollment period ends on December 15. COVID-19 has underscored the importance of health coverage. NOW is the time to find the plan that fits your needs. Go to https://t.co/wM43rjghRC and shop around—premiums are lower and there are more options to choose from. — PolitiTweet.org

There are other numbers President Trump should be concerned about right now. Like the 257,000+ Americans dead, 20.3M claiming unemployment, and more than 1 million new #COVID19 cases in the past week alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see @GSAEmily finally did the right thing. A smooth transition of power is essential to our democracy and no amount of huffing and puffing from the President is going to change the overwhelming results of this election. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Excited that my Floor Director, Reema Dodin, will be joining President-elect Biden's Leg Affairs team. She is smart, trusted, & has the respect of members on both sides of the aisle. Reema is just what our new President needs to help him in the Senate. https://t.co/MTvm7M7jxd — PolitiTweet.org
