After serving a record-breaking six terms, I want to congratulate my dear friend Jesse White on his retirement.   Throughout his life, Secretary White has been a model of integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to public service. https://t.co/zYRkFO1keu — PolitiTweet.org

This deeply disturbing report demonstrates that Twitter needs to act with real urgency to prevent its platform from being used to peddle child sex abuse materials. I wrote to Mr. Musk on Dec. 16 on this topic and am still waiting for answers. We need action to protect our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether from his Florida hideout shamefully used to avoid the inauguration of his fairly elected opponent or other current location, Bolsonaro should tell his supporters to immediately end this travesty and assault on Brazil’s democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad that my bill, the Coronavirus Unemployment Benefits Tax Relief Act, included as part of the #AmericanRescuePlan helped so many people. It resulted in nearly 12 million tax refunds totaling $14.8 billion for 2020. https://t.co/vgEkcDrjVU — PolitiTweet.org

Her leadership has been invaluable for Illinois farmers and helped secure key initiatives like the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program agreement as we battle the impacts of climate change. I thank her for her friendship and her commitment to public service. — PolitiTweet.org

I congratulate Colleen Callahan on a lifetime of service to Illinois’s Agriculture community.  Whether at @IllinoisDNR or while heading up the USDA Rural Development office for Illinois in the Obama Administration, Colleen has a long list of accomplishments. — PolitiTweet.org

For the first time since 2012, @EPA will tighten air quality standards for one of the deadliest air pollutants —soot. Tougher standards will enable @EPA & state regulators to target pollution from specific sources and protect health, especially in elderly & minority communities. — PolitiTweet.org

BIG: @POTUS signed the Justice for Victims of War Crimes Act.   As Ukraine has liberated city after city from Russia’s grip, the world has witnessed the atrocities perpetrated by Putin's henchmen. We can now ensure that war criminals find no safe haven anywhere in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, @POTUS will award 12 brave men & women with the Presidential Citizens Medal. In the events leading up to and during the Jan 6 attack, these individuals took swift action to protect our democracy & performed exemplary deeds of service to their country. We thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Two years ago today, Donald Trump "summoned the mob, assembled the mob, & lit the flame of this attack."- Rep Liz Cheney   The anger and resentment Donald Trump stoked with his ‘Big Lie’ created a deadly event & left a stain on our nation’s history.  He must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Russian patriots @Navalny and @vkaramurza continue to be cowardly imprisoned by Putin while he pursues his disastrous war in Ukraine – only further bringing shame and isolation to Russia. They both should be released from jail immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Exposure to toxic PFAS chemicals is harmful & historically disadvantaged communities face higher risk of exposure. @EPA's new tool will increase transparency & accountability of these “forever chemicals” sources. https://t.co/BhOQ3XeqDd — PolitiTweet.org

Unemployed Americans are our first priority, but no question there’s a need for immigrants to help fill jobs that Americans won’t take. I urge my Republican colleagues to stop their political infighting and join Democrats in working to fix our broken immigration system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congressional Republicans have repeatedly obstructed bipartisan immigration reform & leave @POTUS with no choice but to use his authority to establish order at our southern border. I strongly support his actions to clearly spell out legal pathways for migrants. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SenStabenow, I thank you for your friendship and service. A trailblazer of your own generation, your accomplishments and legacy will inspire future generations of leaders. The Senate, Michigan, and our nation have been fortunate to have your leadership. https://t.co/xTOhTjwxEk — PolitiTweet.org

The historic GOP impasse in the House indicates rough seas ahead. Additional McCarthy concessions to his MAGA extremists would only guarantee instability in a closely divided House. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Calumet River Bridges play a pivotal role in our local and regional economies & thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we now have a once in a generation opportunity to rebuild them.   I joined @VP and @chicagosmayor to celebrate this historic $144M federal investment. https://t.co/tCBMK7x5wx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

24 members of Congress joined @AyannaPressley & me in urging @TheJusticeDept to continue the moratorium on federal executions due to concerns about the application of the death penalty, the disparate impact on people of color, & the high number of exonerations of those sentenced. https://t.co/vMls3Ni6Tz — PolitiTweet.org

PASSED: My legislation w/ @SenDuckworth that creates an area in the greater Bronzeville community of Chicago dedicated to the story of the Great Migration. This area was a mecca for African American business, arts, & culture that made its impact felt across the US. Off to @POTUS! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I first met @SenDuckworth while she was recovering from her combat injuries at Walter Reed. Today I accompanied her to the swearing-in ceremony for her 2nd term as US Senator. Proud is an understatement. Congrats, Tammy! I can’t wait to see what you accomplish in this next term. https://t.co/FWYbK0QI4L — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Welcome @PeterWelch & @JohnFetterman! Our newest Democratic Senators. They each bring new energy, ideas, and a unique experience in public service to our efforts to address issues facing our nation. I look forward to working with them both in the 118th Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

At a time when families should have been forging memories with loved ones, they were instead mourning their loss. It’s time for this nation to reckon with the toll that gun violence has on communities. My prayers are with the victims & their families. https://t.co/1D6RCAB8GF — PolitiTweet.org

.@jguaido, thank you for your heroic effort to bring democracy back to Venezuela after many years of criminal misrule. I'm proud to have met you during my trip to Caracas. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Anthony Fauci gave a lifetime of service to the cause of saving and improving lives. His retirement from NIH marks the departure of a caring public servant and a friend. America owes Dr. Fauci thanks for his amazing legacy. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2022 I remember the bravery in Ukraine; the tragedy in Highland Park & communities across America; the courage of #Dreamers; the inspiration of ALS leaders @bsw5020 & @sabrevaya; the strength of Justice Jackson; and the blessings of family. May we strive to make 2023 better. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s @FTC announcement shows that Mastercard has been stifling debit card competition to the detriment of merchants and consumers. We must be vigilant in protecting debit and credit card competition, and we will. — PolitiTweet.org

By passing this vital legislation, we are sending a clear message to Vladimir Putin: perpetrators committing unspeakable war crimes, such as those unfolding before our very eyes in Ukraine, will be held to account. — PolitiTweet.org
