During my discussion with @OfficialFBOP Director Peters next week, I will be inquiring about this and other issues plaguing the BOP. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am very concerned about the allegations in this article and whether BOP will address abuses, prioritize safety, and improve their flawed approach to misconduct investigations. https://t.co/wLbuLDStPi — PolitiTweet.org

#OnThisDay in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted. This milestone document protects the fundamental rights of human beings regardless of their background. We must continue to defend these rights and speak out when they are violated. — PolitiTweet.org

The tragic loss of Scott Bennett in his prime is a reminder that life is more than the results of the last election. A good family man with children, Scott devoted his life to helping others. I have lost a friend, and Illinois has lost a caring man who made this a better world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

When a child experiences trauma, it harms their brain and can change the way they see the world. To help kids cope, thrive, and break the cycle of violence, @RepDannyDavis and I worked to secure $2.9 million for trauma-informed care in schools across Illinois. https://t.co/h4IDDCU3Vs — PolitiTweet.org

SCOTUS's decision in Cummings v. Premier Rehab Keller is extremely harmful to those who have experienced emotional distress due to discrimination. @PattyMurray & I introduced legislation to address the loophole that allowed this decision. https://t.co/EwcuXMk47z — PolitiTweet.org

I’m speaking live on the Senate floor about my friend, @senrobportman, and our shared work around Ukraine & his support for the Respect for Marriage Act. https://t.co/ERELCUGFMS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am honored to continue to serve @SenateDems as Whip and Chair of @JudiciaryDems. The midterm elections showed that Americans support the vision Senate Democrats, along with @POTUS and @VP Harris, have for the nation. And we will continue our work for the American people. https://t.co/sHMkZlZKdS — PolitiTweet.org

Latina workers are crucial to the American economy, yet on average, make 54 cents to every dollar made by white, non-Hispanic men. For the good of families and our economy, I’m committed to changing this reality. #LatinaEqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

This is a great day for marriage equality and a historic day for civil rights in our country. The Respect for Marriage Act will ensure that same-sex and interracial marriages will be protected under federal law. Now, onto @POTUS's desk! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SFRCdems advanced @SenRubioPress & I's bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the READ Act to expand access to basic education for children around the globe. Given the learning loss due to COVID-19 & threats to girls’ education, this couldn't come at a more important time. — PolitiTweet.org

I am pleased that @JudiciaryDems has advanced the nomination of Colleen R. Lawless to fill a judicial vacancy in the CDIL in my hometown of Springfield. Judge Sue Myerscough leaves big shoes to fill, but I believe that Judge Lawless is up to the challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

During our meeting yesterday, I encouraged members of @TheUSSCgov to take provisions from the First Step Act into account while they consider sentencing guideline amendments that will forever impact the lives of those facing the criminal justice system. https://t.co/277d6BQiW4 — PolitiTweet.org

And we cannot forget about Russian patriots sitting in Putin’s gulags for speaking truth about the war in Ukraine or domestic Russian oppression — brave voices such as Vladimir Kara-Murza and Alexei Navalny — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Great news that Brittney Griner was released from a Russian prison! I want to commend the Biden Admin for its tireless work to bring her home & hope it can do the same for Paul Whelan who is also jailed under equally dubious circumstances by Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@BradyCenter, @march_fourth_, & health care workers gathered in support of the Assault Weapons Ban & other common sense gun safety reforms. Doctors know firsthand of the devastation military-style weapons can cause & Congress should once again ban them from civilian use. https://t.co/OJbTsFrTNo — PolitiTweet.org

Today we remember the lives lost 81 years ago in the attack on Pearl Harbor. May we honor and remember our brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I joined @MLB to announce a requirement to have protective netting from foul pole to foul pole at all minor league ballparks. I want to thank fans and players for their advocacy, and MLB and @MiLB for their efforts to ensure fan safety. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m grateful to receive an update today from Lithuanian Prime Minister @IngridaSimonyte on the country my mother once called home. Decades after leading Eastern Europe’s break from the Soviets, Lithuania & its neighbors continue to stand up to Russia & promote democratic values. https://t.co/ZmqDtohvDp — PolitiTweet.org

I met with Ukrainian Ambassador-at-Large Anton Korynevych & members of the Ukrainian Parliament to receive an update on Putin’s unprovoked war in Ukraine and discuss efforts to hold Russian leaders accountable for the crime of aggression. https://t.co/UVswQBOtgT — PolitiTweet.org

It has been 157 years since the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. While we have come a long way in that time, we are still fighting to abolish slavery in all forms, including forced labor “as a punishment for crime.” #EndTheException — PolitiTweet.org
