.@SenWarren & I are pushing Dept. of Ed to protect taxpayer dollars in the CARES Act from misuse by predatory #4profit colleges. — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to join my colleagues in submitting a comment letter urging the @OCC and @FDIC to abandon their proposal to substantially weaken the law. Improvements to CRA must be made, but their proposal is not the path forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Passed in 1977, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was a response to our shameful history of sanctioned discrimination known as redlining. Despite over 90% of banks passing their CRA examinations, we know the needs of certain communities continue to be ignored. — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has placed enormous stress on farmers in Illinois. I’m urging @SBAgov to open Economic Injury Disaster Loans to farmers so that they are able to weather this storm. https://t.co/jJQOpycekV — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats believe in additional funding for small business programs. But Sen. McConnell’s approach was not bipartisan & it was not enough. Any further stimulus package must be bipartisan, & must include funding for hospitals, community health centers, SNAP, & working families. https://t.co/BeMmGxrfht — PolitiTweet.org

Chag Sameach to all those celebrating #Passover in Illinois and around the world. https://t.co/92qmC5j1ak — PolitiTweet.org

Great work by the Adams County Together Task Force to reach out to local businesses and guide them through the assistance programs offered in the CARES Act. https://t.co/408yQzG8IS — PolitiTweet.org

I am heartbroken for those affected by the gun violence we’ve seen in Chicago this week. My prayers are with the victims and their families. https://t.co/ISK3kgZ4DI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Sadly, racial disparities in health care have only been amplified by #COVID19, to a devastating effect. These disparities are unacceptable. Addressing them must become a top priority - and not only with regards to #COVID19, but far into the future. https://t.co/SOGZoLb2wM — PolitiTweet.org

The last thing our economy needs is for Visa and MasterCard to increase credit and debit card swipe fees. Raising these fees is a terrible idea that would hurt small businesses, workers, & consumers who are already facing enormous challenges. https://t.co/46IgBCBdAQ — PolitiTweet.org

Massive testing is our best chance to move America back towards normal until a safe and effective coronavirus vaccine is developed. The President should use his authority to create this Moonshot. — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbreaking story of Mamadou Balde, the West African immigrant who served two tours as a Marine in Afghanistan. He survived the violence of war and succumbed to the violence of our streets. Our hearts go out to his family. https://t.co/hwPNiphIq3 — PolitiTweet.org

I will be joining @MitchellReports on @MSNBC shortly to discuss the latest updates in our fight against #COVID19. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

First, Bill Withers (“Lean on Me”) and now John Prine (“Angel from Montgomery “). We’ve lost two of our best. https://t.co/DoP1PkpgLF — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenSanders, we’re proud to have your clear voice and unshakable values back in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I joined @SenWarren, @SenSherrodBrown, & @SenBlumenthal in urging @usedgov to exclude #4profit schools from this funding and enact safeguards to protect students & taxpayers. https://t.co/x2XFwMfAgS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund in the CARES Act should go directly to supporting public and nonprofit colleges and their students - not to lining the pockets of #4profit colleges. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke with @ChicagosMayor and @SenDuckworth today about the issues facing Chicago during this public health & economic crisis. During the call, I thanked the Mayor for her leadership, and reiterated our commitment to helping her protect the health & safety of IL families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Joining @SenDuckworth in calling on @HHSgov & @CMSgov to provide additional regulatory flexibility to hospitals & private laboratories so they are able scale-up their testing capacity to deal with #COVID19. https://t.co/qPKlK3SRR4 — PolitiTweet.org

.@DHSOIG must investigate reports of mistreatment of pregnant detainees by CBP. There is no excuse – especially in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic – for Border Patrol to delay or deny medical treatment to pregnant women. https://t.co/YWev4xeSZc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to join @SenatorShaheen & @SenBillCassidy in a bipartisan effort urging @CMSgov to reduce/waive interest rates for health care providers on the frontline of the fight against #COVID19, who seek financial assistance through Medicare’s Accelerated & Advance Payments Program. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I urged @SBAgov & @USTreasury to ensure small business & nonprofits in rural & underserved communities are a priority when processing and disbursing loans through the Paycheck Protection Program. This virus is everywhere – we cannot afford to leave any communities behind. https://t.co/EaTasnr5OH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SenDuckworth & I made it a priority to ensure increased federal funding for Community Health Centers (CHCs) was included in the CARES Act. Proud to announce more than $52M will be going to 45 CHCs across IL. They’ll need more, but this is a good start. https://t.co/PjKEc1jjJi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is unacceptable that many Americans are left uninsured in the midst of a global health pandemic. Joining @SenateDems in urging @HHSGov to immediately reopen ACA's marketplace & allow uninsured Americans get the health coverage they need to protect themselves & their families. https://t.co/eZwvvlcLrf — PolitiTweet.org

More than 27,000 #DACA recipients work on the frontlines of our fight against #COVID19 as health care workers & first responders. They shouldn’t have to worry about their future in the country they grew up in while risking their health & well-being to help others. #HomeIsHere — PolitiTweet.org
