We owe our educators a debt of gratitude for going the extra mile for students during the #COVID19 crisis. Great to thank @TFA_ChicagoNWI Executive Director Aneesh Sohoni for TFA corps members' work in the classroom. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the first of the month, which means rent is due for millions of Americans who are struggling because of the financial fallout of this pandemic. These families need #RentReliefNow. @SenateGOP needs to come back to Washington next week ready to negotiate. This can't wait. https://t.co/B6pSzMCGWR — PolitiTweet.org

The President is going to Kenosha for one reason — to divide, not to unite. https://t.co/0VpqmTEroq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Yet another dangerous decision from President Trump’s EPA that will pollute our drinking water & threaten public health. I’ll keep fighting as long as this Administration continues to roll back protections intended to keep our communities safe. https://t.co/GLa9KpQ5kU — PolitiTweet.org

Community Health Centers are vital for millions of Americans every day, but especially during this pandemic & particularly in diverse & medically underserved communities. Proud to join @SenDuckworth in announcing $11M in federal funding for CHC’s in IL. https://t.co/EO6GnZL41r — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@UofILSystem's rapid, saliva-based #COVID19 testing system, SHIELD T3, delivers quick results, is affordable to conduct & can reach communities via mobile units. I'm urging @DeptofDefense to partner with U of I to implement this testing strategy within its ranks. https://t.co/CWgtHCccXa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Our bipartisan effort can help millions with diabetes afford the insulin they need. Today, a new “generic” insulin - priced at a fraction of the cost - entered the market, to help expand access for patients. https://t.co/6tuJbh4ILZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While the patent for insulin first sold for $1, Big Pharma’s insulin price gouging has forced patients with diabetes to ration doses. That’s why last year I worked to pass the Affordable Insulin Approvals Now Act, to ensure FDA would not delay lower-cost insulin options. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While many Illinoisans struggle with the health & economic toll of the #COVID19 pandemic, health insurance companies’ profits are soaring. I'm joining @RepUnderwood & members of the IL delegation in calling on insurers in IL to help Illinoisans get through these difficult times. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Last month, I re-introduced the Addiction Prevention and Responsible Opioid Practices Act to hold Big Pharma accountable, improve opioid prescription practices, & dramatically expand treatment. https://t.co/lAgP6FLfag — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The #COVID19 pandemic has only compounded the drug overdose crisis facing our nation. This #OverdoseAwarenessDay, we must continue to remove barriers to drug treatment, increase community support & stop Big Pharma from flooding the market with opioids. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Another million Americans filed for jobless benefits in the week ending August 22. Yet Republicans still refuse to help small businesses and the unemployed. Why? https://t.co/FU2o6Ww02t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Dr. Hahn must decide if he'll allow the FDA to become a political tool of Pres. Trump’s campaign. The integrity of this lifesaving agency is more important than ever. The hydroxychloroquine & plasma controversies show the lengths Pres Trump will go to mislead the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Earlier this month, I joined @SenatorHassan in calling on @USDA to extend these school meal program flexibilities to deal with the challenges brought by #COVID19. I’m glad they took our advice. Millions of students across the country rely on these programs for healthy meals. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

When the Senate returns next week, will Republican Leader Mitch McConnell continue to refuse to negotiate on #COVID19 relief efforts to restore enhanced unemployment benefits, help small businesses, increase testing, and help schools and firefighters? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

A 17-year-old Trump supporter from Illinois travels to Kenosha with a long gun to answer a social media militia call. He is charged with killing two people. Mr. President: join Joe Biden in condemning violence unequivocally, and tell your supporters to stand down. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Presidential provocation. President Trump’s trip to Kenosha is an attempt to stir up emotions and violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we've seen a surge in our nation’s epidemic of gun violence. It's long past time to enact commonsense reforms that will help reduce deadly shootings and save lives. The Senate should start by voting on H.R. 8, the bipartisan background check bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Another heartbreaking shooting in Chicago. My prayers are with the victims and their families. https://t.co/qLLIerBhdF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Still waiting for President Trump to speak up in support of the brave Belarusians aspiring for freedom after a sham election... or about poisoned Russian opposition leader Navalny... or reported Russian bounties on American troops. — PolitiTweet.org

During this crisis, @ILCULeague stepped in to offer small businesses & nonprofits financial relief, including thru the Paycheck Protection Program. But we must do more. I'm calling on my colleagues to extend PPP & offer relief to help businesses stay open & keep employees paid. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see the end of the shameful jailing of Venezuelan Congressman & Juan Guaidó ally Juan Requesens. It is time for Maduro to drop the remaining bogus charges and release all the other political prisoners he has cowardly arrested and jailed. https://t.co/pgFavdzOcb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I joined @SenateDems in calling on @SecAzar to put public health before the President's ego and preserve the American people's trust by making science-based decisions when it comes to #COVID19 treatments & therapies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The President has continued to politicize & push misinformation during a crisis that has caused the death of more than 180,000 Americans. His decision to trample over the voices of public health experts has only eroded the public's trust & hampered efforts to respond to #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Sadly, we have lost 8,000 Illinoisans to #COVID19. My heart breaks for the families & friends who are missing their loved ones today. Our battle against this disease is not over. Please do your part to help prevent additional loss by wearing a mask & practicing social distance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We teach our kids to speak up when we see something is wrong. Something is wrong with foreign meddling in our elections, so how come top intelligence officials are going quiet? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Across the state, Illinoisans have been reaching out to take care of their neighbors when they need it most. The folks at @ChiFreshKitchen are doing just that. Proud to see these Chicagoans using their talent & resources to feed those struggling to put food on the table. — PolitiTweet.org
