The Community Reinvestment Act was enacted to facilitate investment in marginalized communities after decades of redlining & discriminatory lending practices. The Trump Admin. is gutting the CRA—in the middle of a pandemic & economic crisis no less. Congress must act to #SaveCRA. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexey Navalny has demonstrated immense courage fighting for democracy in Russia. President Trump's refusal to condemn Putin for poisoning a key political rival shows just how deferential he is to the former KGB agent. https://t.co/r18eS1Gp0l — PolitiTweet.org

The Affordable Care Act provides protections for more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions. That includes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, depression & COVID-19. We can’t let Republicans take those protections away. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Judge Barrett was a constitutional law professor—she knows all about the explicit language in our Constitution regarding the peaceful transfer of power after an election. Her outright refusal to commit to honoring those principles is deeply concerning. https://t.co/OBSuhZwIwe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

A 6-3 right-wing Supreme Court is a threat to health care, to a woman’s right to choose, and to the right of Americans to love who they love. Republicans know this, and they are doing everything they can to rush Judge Barrett’s confirmation. Americans see where they stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

More than 100M Americans with pre-existing conditions, like Kenny Murray of Tinley Park, rely on the Affordable Care Act’s protections. On November 10, Pres. Trump & Republicans will argue in the Supreme Court to strike down the entire ACA. I’m on Kenny’s team in this fight. https://t.co/a5bvth1TXA — PolitiTweet.org

For months now, Senator McConnell has repeatedly refused to work with Democrats on #COVID19 relief. Now—all of a sudden—he wants to pass a small, symbolic gesture right before the election. Where has he been for the last five months? The American people deserve better. https://t.co/nO5hCQWDMr — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 cases are spiking across Illinois. We have hit record high new cases the past two days.   Illinoisans—please wear a mask and practice social distancing. We’re all in this together with one goal: stopping the spread of this virus and saving lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Pres. Trump was clear: he wants Supreme Court justices who will help him end the Affordable Care Act. Judge Barrett’s hearing did not reassure us that the law is safe. Will two more Senate Rs stand up for Americans with pre-existing conditions & oppose this rush to confirmation? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We cannot allow them to eliminate protections for the 5 million people in Illinois with pre-existing conditions and return to the dark days when insurance companies charged more, denied coverage, and imposed lifetime limits. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I was joined by Illinoisans who are worried about what will happen to their health care if the President and Republicans succeed in rushing this SCOTUS vacancy and eliminating the ACA. https://t.co/CactDAXLSa — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Barrett’s failure to even articulate a point of view on climate change—she says she’s still thinking about it—strains all credibility. https://t.co/pamKDEiYWx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Pres. Trump has been clear—he picked Judge Barrett to achieve his goals: eliminate the ACA, overturn Roe v. Wade, & help him win an election he plans to dispute. And Republicans broke Judiciary Committee rules to rush the nomination ahead. My closing statement at the hearings: https://t.co/LwqulDMEeN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Judge Barrett’s originalism gives me no comfort. As @chicagosmayor says, the originalist view “excluded over 50% of the people living in America today,” including women, people of color, and LGBTQ Americans. The Constitution we cherish belongs to “we the people” – all of us. https://t.co/zo32jucREb — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans cutting every corner to jam through Judge Barrett’s nomination before Election Day. It’s unprecedented to vote to move forward on a nominee before the hearing has even ended, but they did this morning. My motion to adjourn—and finish the hearing first—was denied. https://t.co/xLMiagvHen — PolitiTweet.org

Meet Nate. Nate was born with a rare liver disease called biliary atresia & required a liver transplant at just 10 months old. If Republicans succeed in eliminating the Affordable Care Act, Nate could become uninsurable due to his pre-existing condition. I'm fighting for Nate. https://t.co/BQtN6VQp12 — PolitiTweet.org

If the Republican plan to end the ACA is successful, more than 20 million Americans would lose health care coverage & protections in the midst of a pandemic. And make no mistake—there is no Republican replacement plan. The consequences would be devastating and deadly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

There is an orange cloud hanging over this Supreme Court nomination, the first to be considered after July 1 of an election year. Millions of Americans are already voting. Their voices should be heard. Republicans are rushing it though because they want to eliminate the ACA. https://t.co/yHmXI3lQqp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

There is an orange cloud hanging over Judge Barrett’s nomination. President Trump has promised his nominee will end the Affordable Care Act, overturn Roe v. Wade, & help him win this election if need be. Those are the realities of her nomination. She needs to answer for them. https://t.co/TzyzSlVIxl — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump has promised two things about Judge Barrett: she will vote to eliminate the Affordable Care Act and, if need be, help him impose his will on the upcoming election. If she lives up to even one of those promises, it will be a disaster for our nation. https://t.co/YvngP9GnJW — PolitiTweet.org

Meet the Ray family. Millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions will face higher costs & lose access to care if Republicans are able to eliminate the Affordable Care Act in the Supreme Court. That includes Americans—like Jared Ray—who were diagnosed with cancer. https://t.co/Qou8vTn7B0 — PolitiTweet.org
