The first reported U.S. coronavirus death was on Feb. 29. The number of casualties has since surpassed 9/11. There is no quick end in sight. But there are a few clear lessons we can take away from our experience so far. My op-ed for @SJRbreaking: https://t.co/X0jJ4HqeGv — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, @SenWarren, @SenSherrodBrown, @SenBlumenthal, and I wrote to Education Sec. Devos & DoD Sec. Esper urging them to follow the VA's lead and protect student veterans from enrolling in these predatory #4profit institutions. https://t.co/L7eGcYTcEd — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
#4profit colleges have taken advantage of student veterans for years. Glad the @DeptVetAffairs finally suspended new GI Bill enrollments at U. of Phoenix and Career Ed. Corp. schools. But @usedgov & @DeptofDefense must step up too. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Our routines and daily lives may be changing, but our sense of community and togetherness doesn't have to. A little perspective on how staying home is the best way to show support for your community: https://t.co/xF4SVwhtwQ — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I was proud to join @AJCGlobal & AJC Chicago to stand in solidarity with the Chinese-American and Asian-American communities, in Chicago, the state of Illinois, and across the country. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We all must do our part to stand up to hate & discrimination. That includes holding our leaders accountable when they contribute to this growing threat - which is why I have repeatedly called on Pres. Trump to stop using careless, insensitive terms when discussing this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Caring for your community can come in many different forms – like how the Voluntary Action Center is running special bus services in early morning hours to get seniors to the grocery store for senior-only shopping hours. https://t.co/3BiiGWCT5A — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
As we battle #COVID19, federal agencies should not take any action that could exacerbate underlying conditions – like asthma, lung disease, or heart disease – that would leave people at greater risk. Joining @SenMarkey in urging the EPA to ensure that happens: https://t.co/dk0pcUli47 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Joining @SenTinaSmith to introduce the All Dependents Count Act to expand eligibility & allow taxpayers to receive a $500 payment for all the dependents they care for. https://t.co/W5THWijAVO — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The direct payments in the CARES Act can & should include all dependents – 17 & 18 year olds, college students, and other dependent adults. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The only way we are going to beat #COVID19 is by working together, staying home, and practicing good social distancing. It will help stop the spread of this virus and save lives. I’m all in for Illinois. Are you? #AllinIllinois — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @maconcountycasa advocates for continuing to do their important work amid this global pandemic by using new & innovative ways to check in with the children & families they support. https://t.co/A03FugOPNp — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Internet access is crucial for students to complete homework and stay on track as schools switch to online learning. Glad to see @HarvardD50 use their Rural and Low Income federal grant to purchase & distribute WiFi hotspots to students in need. https://t.co/ERsKSgQKbV — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Many of the 600,000 veterans living in IL are over the age of 65, making them particularly susceptible to #COVID19. Today I spoke with the directors of the @DeptVetAffairs Medical Centers in IL to make sure they have what they need to care for patients and protect employees. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Yesterday was tough on IL. 986 new #COVID19 cases were confirmed, as were 42 additional deaths – our highest number of deaths in one day so far. My prayers are with those we have lost & their loved ones during this difficult time. And for those who can, please #StayHomeSaveLives. — PolitiTweet.org

I launched an investigation last year into the $13 billion corporate marriage between JUUL and tobacco giant Altria to examine how their tangled web will harm public health and our kids. Glad FTC is now stepping in. https://t.co/lqZLAfnD0T — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
This is the right decision & I’m glad the IRS is taking @SenateDems advice. Forcing Social Security recipients to file tax returns would have been an unnecessary delay. The American people need relief now. The sooner we can get this cash into their hands, the better. — PolitiTweet.org
IRS @IRSnews
Social Security beneficiaries who are not typically required to file tax returns will not need to file to receive a… https://t.co/mkt6ldSXE7

With the Feed the Community Program, Edwardsville established a community campaign to support local businesses & residents in need. Even when we are social distancing, we can find ways to take care of each other and our communities. https://t.co/qVs8loXqfd — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Great to see Quincy city council assign new duties, like assisting with Salvation Army and Meals on Wheels food delivery, to transit employees whose routes were shut down because of the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/edsQQCQObP — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Our gov't works best - especially in a time of uncertainty - when we work together. I will continue working with city and village leaders throughout IL to help ensure they have federal gov’t support for their efforts to keep people healthy & financially afloat during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Local IL governments are facing incredible challenges & financial losses because of this public health & economic crisis. Spoke today with @IMLLeague leaders about the provisions I pushed for in the CARES Act to support state & local governments. — PolitiTweet.org

10% is not going to cut it. I spoke with HHS Sec. Azar this week to press for more PPE. Illinois needs thousands of ventilators. Our hospitals, clinics & first responders need masks & gloves. We need federal coordination & leadership - and a surge of new supplies. — PolitiTweet.org

Disappointed in the Admin’s decision to ease standards for the industry that leads our nation in greenhouse gas emissions. We are in an existential fight against climate change. This move will only take us backwards. https://t.co/lhwUA5dgmI — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It’s outrageous that Governors across the country have been forced to bid & compete over limited medical supplies. The President needs to take control of this situation. It’s up to him – and only him - to end this gross profiteering, which is unacceptable & un-American. https://t.co/pU15PqAne3 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today is #CensusDay – a reminder of the importance of your participation. IL could lose up to $1,400 for every person under-counted, meaning less money for infrastructure, hospitals, & more. Make sure you’re counted &, if you can, respond online today: https://t.co/4g9jmkRE73 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I’m in my hometown of Springfield, Illinois, a town of around 100,000 people. To think we could lose more than that many lives to coronavirus is heartbreaking. Illinoisans – please #StayHome for your loved ones, your community, & your country. We will get through this together. https://t.co/iLL9BIk65d — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Good to see that, with help from a federal grant, Mettawa-based CareFusion will now be producing life-saving ventilators for the Strategic National Stockpile. Hospitals across the country are in desperate need of these ventilators – I’m glad many of them will now come from IL. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
IL is in short supply of the PPE our health care workers so desperately need. Spoke with @EPAGreatLakes Director Thiede yesterday to urge him to donate any available masks, gloves, or gowns in EPA storage to our hospitals & health care workers without delay. — PolitiTweet.org
