Great to see my friend, Illinoisan Ron Gidwitz, named U.S. Acting Representative to the EU. His experience in the region as @USAmbBelgium makes Amb. Gidwitz a wonderful choice for this duel post. Congratulations! — PolitiTweet.org

Teachers dedicate themselves to educating the next generation of leaders, and that takes extra ingenuity & innovation during this time of online learning. During this #TeacherAppreciationWeek, take a moment to #ThankATeacher who has made a difference in your life. — PolitiTweet.org

Too many of these defrauded student borrowers are unable to participate in our economy or complete their education because of ruinous credit & worthless debt. Congress acting to expedite their discharges & ensure full relief is commonsense during this unprecedented crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Our Coronavirus Emergency Borrower Defense Act will cover borrowers who have been defrauded according to findings by the Dept. of Education & State attorney general group applications, & who have been waiting years for the relief to which they are legally entitled. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am joining with @SenSherrodBrown, @RepMarkTakano, @SenWarren, & @RepJayapal to announce a plan to grant full student loan discharges to three specific emergency categories of defrauded student borrowers in the next #COVID19 relief package. https://t.co/V7MOfSfvu7 — PolitiTweet.org

While we're together in Washington, the Senate must be focused on the public health & economic crisis caused by #COVID19. We should not be here just to rubber-stamp inexperienced judicial nominees who are friends with the Majority Leader. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Good to speak with @MayorBowser today about the status of #COVID19 in Washington, DC, which remains a coronavirus hot spot. The Senate must do everything it can to protect the health & well-being of DC residents & Capitol staff as we go back into session today. — PolitiTweet.org

To support the national food supply chain in a time of crisis, the Frontera Farmer Foundation stepped up to offer grants to small farms across the Midwest in need. Thanks to Chicago's @Rick_Bayless for leading this effort. https://t.co/BM4zTUoBXT — PolitiTweet.org

Hate is not welcome here in Illinois, & protests over the weekend do not reflect the overwhelming majority of Illinoisans who are committed to #StayHome & protect one another. I stand with @GovPritzker & his efforts to save lives & stop the spread of #COVID19. #AllInIllinois — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The correct federal response should start with a commitment to worker protection, PPE, & testing. Unfortunately, the President’s executive order will likely endanger the lives of our nation's meat processing workforce & threaten a far broader scope of our food supply. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Last week, after Pres. Trump unveiled his reckless executive order to endanger workers by keeping meat plants open during the pandemic, I wrote IL meat processing companies to ask for info on how they plan to protect their workers from #COVID19 infections. https://t.co/IqfpEUOtv1 — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill strengthens our health care workforce & improves access to care for Americans. I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me & @sendavidperdue in support of these vital health care workers. https://t.co/7Ft6o2BQWU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

That's why I'm introducing the bipartisan Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act w/@sendavidperdue. Our bill will provide a temporary stopgap to quickly address our nation's shortage of nurses & doctors by re-directing unused visas to those who can aid in the fight against #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is unacceptable that thousands of doctors currently working in the U.S. are stuck in the green card backlog, putting their futures in jeopardy and limiting their ability to contribute to the fight against #COVID19. The solution is clear – make more green cards available. — PolitiTweet.org
