Loretta and I extend our sympathies to Jayne and Samantha on the passing of Governor Jim Thompson. We were political adversaries yet personal friends back in the day when that was not uncommon. Try as we might, we Democrats just could not beat Big Jim. https://t.co/5F01co6taE — PolitiTweet.org

No President, no elected or appointed official should be allowed to threaten our sacred right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The turmoil and uncertainty around the coming national election is the creation of a President hellbent on re-election. America deserves better. It is time to pass my Constitutional amendment guaranteeing our right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Transparent marketplaces are safer marketplaces. I appreciate the support of the Buy Safe America coalition for the bipartisan INFORM Consumers Act I’ve introduced with @SenBillCassidy and @janschakowsky. https://t.co/SRXviL3oSQ — PolitiTweet.org

There is strong bipartisan support for providing small businesses with additional PPP loans. But Senate Republicans have walked away from the negotiating table. If the President was serious about making a deal, he should direct his attention to Senator McConnell. — PolitiTweet.org
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
I am ready to have @USTreasury and @SBA send additional PPP payments to small businesses that have been hurt by the… https://t.co/2SUz3YQano

We can't let Pres Trump & Republicans get away with their scheme to suppress the vote by dismantling @USPS. Democrats will keep doing everything we can to make sure @USPS receives funding in the next #COVID19 relief bill so Americans can safely vote this fall. #DontMessWithUSPS — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
.@UofILSystem is leading the way with a contact tracing & testing strategy for the coming school year that holds the promise of benefiting students & faculty at public universities in IL. Great to speak with U of I Pres Killeen yesterday about working toward a safe fall semester. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Congressional Democrats are willing to meet Republicans half way on #COVID19 relief, but we can’t talk to an empty chair. When negotiations resume, I hope Sen. McConnell and Rep. McCarthy will actually show up this time. The American people need Congress to do its job. https://t.co/BRhkm2rWXC — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Every American must be able to safely exercise their right to vote. The Trump Administration’s ongoing efforts to delay mail & the delivery of mail-in ballots during this pandemic are abhorrent. I joined @SenateDems in demanding answers for unacceptable delays at @USPS. https://t.co/WnygKImVCj — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
During this unprecedented time—the confluence of a deadly pandemic and an election where voting by mail will be more necessary than ever—an effective Postal Service is vital to public health and our democracy. More on my thoughts in @Suntimes: https://t.co/FXBdV97KtR — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Here is President Trump openly admitting he wants to make it harder for Americans to vote this fall, during a pandemic. The only way he can get away with this is if Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are complicit. — PolitiTweet.org
The Recount @therecount
Trump this morning why he won’t fund US Postal Service. “Now they need that money in order to make the post office… https://t.co/LtNrInhkS5

80% of Black moms are the breadwinners in their home, meaning they can’t afford to get sick or stay home during this pandemic. That’s one of the many reasons why we must expand paid leave in the next round of #COVID19 relief. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
#BlackWomensEqualPayDay is a reminder that we still haven’t achieved #PaycheckFairness and closed the wage gap, especially for women of color. I’m proud to cosponsor the Paycheck Fairness Act and will keep fighting to achieve equal pay for all. https://t.co/D9Ptp0FHf5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Census is far too important to rush to completion, which is exactly what the Trump Administration is trying to do. I’m joining a bipartisan group of 48 Senators in calling for Congressional leadership to extend the statutory deadline for the Census. — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
In Alaska & across the country, the U.S. Census response has been very underwhelming. I’ve joined @SenBrianSchatz &… https://t.co/Q…

“They don’t have the money to do the universal mail-in voting. So therefore, they can’t do it, I guess,” says the one person holding up funding for @USPS. We can't let the President get away with this. We must fund the Postal Service. https://t.co/V9EaICKqoT — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 8M student borrowers weren't eligible for CARES Act student loan relief & won't benefit from the President's executive order. I'm joining my colleagues in calling for congressional action to ensure 43M federal student loan borrowers get relief during this crisis. https://t.co/JpRC6PRGG1 — PolitiTweet.org

Joined the @ChicagoBarAssoc for a discussion about the Justice in Policing Act, @SenateDems plan for bold, comprehensive police reform. Give it a listen here: https://t.co/XwpPK4wYrj — PolitiTweet.org

Another blatant attempt to silence opposition voices and undermine Hong Kong's democracy and rule of law. Sadly, we continue to see more democratic backsliding around the world under President Trump and Sec. Pompeo. https://t.co/wKj7YBeLdD — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We also need to fully fund @USPS so that essential services can continue like delivering medicines and mail-in ballots during a pandemic when people are trying to limit their exposure. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today in Springfield I urged the Postmaster General to take corrective action against recent operational changes, including the elimination of overtime, and a reduction in mail sorting and processing hours that has led to significant delays in the delivery of mail to Illinoisans. https://t.co/L5DCmHgqFE — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see @BLMNational is no longer planning to lease land in Grand & San Juan County, Utah, for oil & gas development following my request last week. This will go a long way towards protecting these special places. #ProtectMoab https://t.co/BpF3Fby8jk — PolitiTweet.org

What a sad indictment of Sen. McConnell’s priorities. Families across the US are struggling to pay rent & put food on the table & the Senate Majority Leader is focused on shielding corporations from accountability. This is Washington at its worst. https://t.co/VH9qRaGrBn — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The President’s executive order on unemployment benefits was a cheap political stunt. The only realistic way to extend these benefits is by passing comprehensive #COVID19 relief through Congress, which @SenateGOP have been blocking since May. https://t.co/i7TtEGGDe1 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We can’t let Pres. Trump dismantle @USPS in the run up to an election where mail-in ballots will be vital to ensuring Americans of all political persuasions can safely exercise their right to vote. Congress must step in & provide addt'l funding to USPS. https://t.co/GcSckyAFTq — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke with @STLRegChamber today to let them know that my office is ready to assist in any way we can to help families & small businesses weather the economic and public health consequences of this pandemic. https://t.co/CJhw4A15U9 — PolitiTweet.org

Had the privilege of joining @ParentsvsVape for their podcast, “Messed with the Wrong Moms,” to discuss the youth vaping epidemic and my efforts to hold @US_FDA & vaping companies like JUUL accountable. You can listen here: https://t.co/sHZBqaZOwL — PolitiTweet.org

We’re less than 100 days from an election where mail-in ballots will be vital to ensuring people of all political persuasions can safely exercise their right to vote. Congress must make funding @USPS a priority in the next #COVID19 relief bill. https://t.co/Ak8Yz9s780 — PolitiTweet.org

Struggling state governments can’t afford to shoulder the burden for enhanced unemployment benefits. The President’s executive order is not an adequate substitute for the comprehensive #COVID19 relief that is being held up by @SenateGOP. https://t.co/w4zgwGihIZ — PolitiTweet.org
