1 year ago today, the 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law—a bipartisan & carefully crafted bill to provide certainty for farmers. I hope next year Pres Trump will reverse his harmful decisions, from China to biofuels, & restore much-needed transparency, certainty & respect for ag. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll keep working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure that the #FirstStepAct is fully & properly implemented. Our criminal justice system must be focused on preparing prisoners for successful re-entry into society. Anything less is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We cannot fully implement the #FirstStepAct—and all of its important reforms—unless the Trump Administration’s Justice Department cooperates. There are troubling signs that it is not. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I am proud to have been a lead author of the #FirstStepAct. For many incarcerated Americans who received unfair sentences, it offers a second chance they thought they would never have. But there is still work to be done. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
One year ago this month, Congress came together on a bipartisan basis to tackle one of the toughest political issues of our day—criminal justice reform—& pass the landmark #FirstStepAct. It represented the most significant reform to our criminal justice system in years. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today I joined @SenatorLeahy, @SenatorCardin, & @SenSherrodBrown in writing to President Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo to urge engagement with civil society as he implements the historic 2018 revised Mining Code. You can read our letter here: https://t.co/J4KVM4j6DS — PolitiTweet.org

China has increased public funds for ag research by 8x, while U.S funding has declined. Today I wrote to the Trump Admin. to request an at least 5% plus inflation increase in Fiscal Year 2021 funding for Ag. research. Read my letter here: https://t.co/mYYay2PXuJ — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
In light of recent settlements between @FTC and for-profit colleges, it’s up to the @DeptVetAffairs to protect veteran students. Today I joined @RepMarkTakano & several colleagues in writing to VA Sec. Wilkie, urging him to do just that. You can read our letter here: https://t.co/hXY2Fv61tc — PolitiTweet.org

The @uscensusbureau is currently recruiting temporary, part-time census takers, among other positions in Illinois for the 2020 Census. @SenDuckworth and I would strongly encourage interested Illinoisans to apply here: https://t.co/9ZUAjlHv36 — PolitiTweet.org

The Rural Hospital Closure Relief Act provides flexibility to Medicare's "Critical Access Hospital" designation so that more rural hospitals can qualify for this financial support and continue to deliver quality, affordable health care services to the communities they serve. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
In Illinois & across the country, rural hospitals are a health care & economic lifeline, but many face risk of closure. My bill with @SenatorLankford & @RepKinzinger would update Medicare's rules to strengthen our commitment to rural hospitals & the communities they serve. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Glad to see the House pass @RepSchneider’s bill to repeal the harmful cap on SALT deductions that has subjected families in Illinois to burdensome double-taxation. Now it’s time for the Senate to do the same. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Brad Schneider @RepSchneider
Great news for #IL10! The House just voted to repeal legislation I helped introduce to repeal the punishing cap on… https://t.co/SrDga3gcb4

Pleased to secure $7M in additional funding for the Open Textbook Pilot in the FY20 appropriations bill to make college textbooks more affordable. I encourage all interested institutions in IL & across the country to apply. https://t.co/2Vapm4k0oc — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
President Trump claims he loves ethanol and biodiesel. But after his watered-down Renewable Fuel Standards deal that fails to fully restore lost gallons and still allows oil refineries to stop blending biofuels, I say I’ll believe it when I see it. https://t.co/DyllZloRVS — PolitiTweet.org

My statement on the Senate passing the bipartisan 2020 government funding bills today: https://t.co/Q2xWLWiQxZ — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that with the passage of the 2020 appropriations bill, the SIREN Act's new grant program will be funded and start bringing millions in much needed medical support to our rural communities. https://t.co/5NgYKWA5ov — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Last year, I heard from Nauvoo, IL EMS officials about financial challenges they face in maintaining life-saving operations in rural IL. That's why I worked to pass the SIREN Act to create a grant to fund training, hiring, & equipment needs of rural fire & EMS agencies. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Insulin was discovered in 1921 & the patent sold for $1. Yet today, Big Pharma's insulin price gouging is forcing families to ration doses. Pleased that my bipartisan bill to lower insulin costs by speeding up FDA approvals will soon be the law of the land.https://t.co/ioVdnJEBYx — PolitiTweet.org

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that robocalls are out of control. Glad to see the Senate pass the TRACED Act today. I urge President Trump to sign this bill into law promptly. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate has a responsibility under the Constitution to take impeachment seriously. I hope Senator McConnell will live up to that obligation. Partisan politics must not be our guiding principle throughout this process. — PolitiTweet.org

.@EPA has a responsibility to protect Illinoisans' health. Today IL congressional members & I voiced our concerns to @EPAAWheeler about the troubling levels of ethylene oxide emissions in Illinois. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Proud to work with @SenMikeLee on a bipartisan agreement to help immigrants stuck in the green card backlog. Congress must pass my #RELIEFAct to eliminate the green-card backlog, but in the meantime I’ll do everything in my power to protect immigrant workers and their families. https://t.co/SQYVU0eiok — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
If you listen to what Sen. McConnell’s been saying, it sounds like impeachment will get a show trial in the Senate. The American people deserve more. We must do our job & do it professionally—that means witnesses, documents, & testimony. 4 GOP Senators can make that happen. https://t.co/zBRD7aiJiS — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The bipartisan PREVENT Act will establish a user fee that will fund prevention programs in schools to steer kids away from vaping & help those already struggling with nicotine addiction while holding Big Vape accountable. https://t.co/0yYAFJvvF3 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
With more than 5 million kids now using e-cigarettes, the youth vaping epidemic is out of control. I'm taking action with @RepPeteKing & @CongressmanRaja to address this public health crisis and prevent the next generation of American kids from a lifetime of nicotine addiction. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I hope my colleagues will stand with veterans in support of this resolution when it comes to the Senate floor for a vote. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Proud to have the support of the @AmericanLegion for S.J. Res. 56 to overturn the DeVos borrower defense rule which would prevent defrauded student veterans from getting the federal student debt relief to which they are entitled. https://t.co/MnRuqJFMqO — PolitiTweet.org
