This morning @LtGovStratton & I met w/ local community & faith leaders to discuss Justice in Policing Act, which proposes comprehensive approach to hold police accountable for misconduct, change culture of law enforcement, & build trust between law enforcement & our communities. https://t.co/AdbIrZwgoC — PolitiTweet.org

Old Fashioned Donuts at 11248 S Michigan Ave in Chicago is back! The Roseland community rallied to support Buritt Bulloch and help him repair damages and continue creating some of the best donuts on the South Side! I’ll be back in line soon. https://t.co/Eu3VwXVgCI — PolitiTweet.org

When 8 or more CPD officers & supervisors are caught camping out in @RepBobbyRush’s office, making popcorn & brewing coffee in midst of neighborhood looting, it’s an insult to the Congressman, the people they were sworn to protect & their fellow officers who were doing their job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Senate Judiciary Republicans voted down all six subpoena amendments. They want to ignore every predicate that led up to the investigation into Russian election interference. Frankly, this decision shows that this is not a credible exercise. https://t.co/5nMjpYduv7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the Judiciary Cmte. today I proposed subpoenas for 6 people w/relevant knowledge about the contacts between the Trump Campaign & Russia that predicated the FBI/Mueller investigations: Michael Cohen, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Jerome Corsi, & Roger Stone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If the Senate Republican fishing expedition into the vague conspiracy theory Pres Trump calls 'Obamagate' was on the up & up, then they’d allow witnesses with info relevant to how the Russia investigation started. Today they did everything they could to block those witnesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today in the Senate Judiciary Committee, I proposed an amendment to condemn AG Barr for ordering the attack on peaceful protestors in Lafayette Square last week & to support the constitutional rights of Americans to peaceably assemble. Senate Republicans blocked my amendment. https://t.co/9l2b3CTelm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As soon as next Monday, the Supreme Court could rule on the future of #DACA. If #SCOTUS upholds the President’s cruel repeal of #DACA, he must change course & protect #Dreamers. And Sen. McConnell should give the #DreamAndPromiseAct a vote in the Senate to solve this crisis. https://t.co/Z5rO3OuynO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

One thing that would help—the Senate needs to take up the House-passed #HeroesAct immediately, which would provide critical funding for state & local governments to prepare for the election and ensure that Americans can safely exercise their fundamental right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This week’s election in Georgia was frighteningly mismanaged. And it may be a troubling sign of what to expect in November as Republicans around the country seek to make it harder to vote during the ongoing pandemic. https://t.co/QDsi9l9erm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ll heed the advice and dire warnings of Chairman Powell — a respected mind on our economy — over this President’s wishful thinking. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

110,000+ Americans have lost their lives to #COVID19. Massive, nationwide protests are calling for racial justice. And what are Senate R's focused on? Confirming right-wing judges & blocking an anti-lynching bill — unacceptable dereliction of their duty as public servants. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

George Floyd’s legacy can — and should — be a future where we can all breathe freely. My op-ed in the @chicagotribune: https://t.co/5Zne69Na8Z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The #COVID19 crisis has presented particular challenges for individuals & children facing domestic violence. Grateful to speak with phenomenal advocates from @ILCADV yesterday about offering more resources for survivors in a time of increased need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Let’s face it, calling out Pres. Trump for every misleading, bigoted, & hateful tweet he sends would be a full time job. However, his attack on Martin Gugino, the 75-year-old Buffalo protester knocked to ground & seriously injured, was especially loathsome. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

That's why @SenDuckworth & I are calling on Senate leaders to prioritize essential workers in future #COVID19 relief legislation by including hazard pay, increased access to paid sick days & paid family leave, & an OSHA Standard to ensure safe working conditions. https://t.co/aiZNuDOCmi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Throughout the #COVID19 crisis, essential workers have kept our pantries stocked, delivered lifesaving medical care, & allowed our country to continue running. We rely on these workers, and they deserve hazard pay & safe working conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm calling on Sen. McConnell to bring the #JusticeInPolicing Act up for a vote ASAP. We owe it to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, & all of the Black and Brown lives lost to brutal acts of racial injustice to finally bring about justice & accountability to policing. https://t.co/RWc31VTKuC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We cannot call ourselves a land of justice unless we address fundamental issues of racial injustice that plague our nation. That’s why @SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats introduced the #JusticeInPolicing Act to create meaningful & much-needed policing reforms & change. https://t.co/pPPRKKaayr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Yesterday I introduced the Computer & Internet Access Equity Act with @RepDannyDavis. Our bill offers much-needed assistance to our nation's most vulnerable communities, helping to bridge the digital divide & ensure every student can access the tools they need to learn online. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The #COVID19 pandemic has exposed the places where our society is most broken. With so many schools shifting to online learning, it's become clear that the gap in access to quality internet and computer technology is one of those broken places. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ll be joining @WindyCityLIVE today at 1 pm CT for a discussion about the Chicago HEAL Initiative and the ongoing, nationwide protests and how a responsible federal government should respond to people crying out for change. Make sure you tune in. https://t.co/HuxzgXUS81 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Speaking on the Senate floor now. https://t.co/9aAFlX195X — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Senate must act to support our state & local governments ASAP by passing the #HeroesAct. Senator McConnell’s plan to let them fall into bankruptcy would be disastrous for the brave Americans on the front lines on this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This funding was provided by Congress in the CARES Act and then held up by @SecretaryCarson & HUD for so long that a bipartisan group of Senators had to pressure them to release it. Pres. Trump isn’t allocating anything here. He’s taking credit for Congress’ hard work. — PolitiTweet.org

As of today, #COVID19 has claimed the lives of more than 6,000 Illinoisans. My prayers are with those we’ve lost, their families & friends. Illinoisans — please continue to wear a mask & social distance whenever possible. It’s up to all of us to stop the spread of this virus. — PolitiTweet.org
