I agree, @SenFeinstein—Congress needs to act against the youth vaping epidemic. 5 million children are now hooked on e-cigs. That’s a 135% increase over the last 2 years of the Trump presidency. https://t.co/JFGvTUkOHw — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbreaking situation out of Lisle last night. My prayers are with the victims and their families. https://t.co/XEFJW8EsBf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If we don’t hold this President accountable under the rule of law, then he is not answerable to anyone. By blocking key documents & witnesses from Congress, this President is essentially telling the American people they have no right to know what he’s doing as their President. https://t.co/ZSSmQcKS71 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The President’s lawyers are arguing that “Ukraine didn’t know” the aid was being held until late August. That is—at best—yet another disputed fact that could be resolved by additional documents & witnesses. https://t.co/5DKFOwuILX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Trump’s attorney Mr. Philbin said “Cross-examination in our legal system is regarded as the greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth.” I agree - that’s why we need witnesses for this to be a full and fair trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

By next week, I hope enough Republican Senators join Democrats to call for witnesses and documents so that this is a real trial. Not just for the Senators who stand in judgment, but for the American people. https://t.co/hxm9YYCkWE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If the President’s lawyers are going to spend their time disputing the facts of this case, then Senators must be given access to the key government documents that would help resolve those disputes before making any kind of judgement. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Differences between our letter & 7/25/19 call between Pres Trump & Zelensky: 1. We publicly released our letter when sent 2. We called on Ukraine’s prosecutor general to cooperate w duly authorized Mueller investigation 3. We didn't threaten/condition US aid to Ukraine in any way https://t.co/kYVJmK0KGN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Over the last 3 days, House managers made a compelling & fact-based case. And today, we will begin hearing from the President’s lawyers. But one thing remains abundantly clear - we still need access to key documents & relevant witnesses to conduct a full & fair trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is my hope that their words broke through to at least four of my Republican colleagues on the need for this to be a fair & full trial, with key evidence and relevant witnesses allowed. America is watching. And history will remember. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tonight, the House managers wrapped up their thoughtful, fact-based, compelling case, laying out Pres. Trump’s scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections for his personal, political gain. I am grateful to them for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As House managers close their presentation today, the American people are watching. The House has made a compelling case, but it won’t be a full and fair trial without access to all the key documents & relevant witnesses. The American people deserve the whole truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Traumatic brain injury is not just headaches. Troops shouldn’t battle depression and suicide after the fighting is over. Since 2013, I’ve added $1 BILLION to increase military medical research into TBI. https://t.co/myJsAPtwEn — PolitiTweet.org

For 9.5 hours today, House managers presented a compelling & fact-based case, laying out Pres. Trump’s scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections & put self above country. The need to have a fair trial w/key documents & relevant witnesses becomes clearer by the day. — PolitiTweet.org

As we discussed today, we can move our cities & towns forward by bringing federal dollars home to increase access to affordable housing, expand broadband services, & improve Amtrak service & transportation. I will continue working with our mayors to advocate for IL priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Great to host mayors from all across Illinois in Washington this morning. Our government works best when we work together, and @SenDuckworth and I are committed to supporting Illinois mayors in any way we can here in our nation's capital. https://t.co/5zGTRdMMwI — PolitiTweet.org

As companies w/the @IL_Natl_Guard 2nd Battalion, 130th Infantry Regiment from Marion, West Frankfort, Mount Vernon, Effingham, & Litchfield begin a 10-month deployment, we thank them for their service & pray for their safety. They make us proud every day. https://t.co/a8XJSGgAlk — PolitiTweet.org
