However, I do not blame Dr. Hahn—the nominee to serve as the next FDA Commissioner—for this Administration’s failures to date. In all of my conversations with Dr. Hahn, he has seemed sincere in his commitment to address the youth vaping epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We are in the midst of a vaping epidemic that has hooked 5 MILLION kids—an increase of 135% over the past 2 years of this presidency. It is clear that President Trump cares more about Big Tobacco’s profit margins than protecting our children from a lifetime of nicotine addiction. — PolitiTweet.org

So @realDonaldTrump tweets that TIME Magazine’s Person the Year, @GretaThunberg, should stop her work on climate change and “chill.” It’s harder for Greta to chill when our planet is heating up. Mr. President, stop slinging insults at a teenager & start acting like an adult. — PolitiTweet.org

So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend… https://t.co/O8CxbQbeKR

Thanks to @SECNAV Thomas Modly for sitting down with me today to talk about recovery support for bases affected by natural disasters and modernizing military technology, including the Navy's ships and submarines. — PolitiTweet.org

Rudy Giuliani often professes to be Pres. Trump’s personal lawyer. Occasionally, the President acknowledges that. Today, IG Horowitz told us there are investigations ongoing into whether Mr. Giuliani received improperly leaked info about the 2016 Clinton email investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It’s hard to keep up with all the ridiculous claims the President makes. Let’s be clear—there were no spies in the Trump campaign. Inspector Horowitz's report should put that idea to bed. Yet the President repeats it day after day. It’s no surprise the American people are numb. https://t.co/7hmjH86jEk — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I’ll be joining @WolfBlitzer in the @CNNSitRoom shortly to discuss DOJ Inspector General Horowitz’s testimony today before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Make sure to tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

As a lifelong baseball fan, I’m glad that @MLB is putting its fans first. Extending protective netting well beyond the end of each dugout will make the ballpark a safer place for fans to enjoy a game. I thank MLB and Commissioner Manfred for their efforts to address this issue. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
With more foul balls being hit at high speeds into the stands than ever before, it was imperative for @MLB to address ballpark safety at this year’s Winter Meetings. Today, MLB Commissioner Manfred announced that all 30 teams will extend protective netting next season. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Regardless of all the disinformation we heard at today’s hearing, Inspector General Horowitz could not have been more clear in his report or in his testimony—the FBI’s 2016 Russia investigation was not influenced by political bias. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Many of my Republican colleagues are obsessed with the emails and texts sent by Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. Senator Graham even went as far today as to say they were “in charge” of the FBI’s 2016 Russia investigation. Here’s what DOJ IG Horowitz had to say about that today: https://t.co/OPMor08O1k — PolitiTweet.org

We have seen many unqualified, unfit judicial nominees under President Trump. Lawrence VanDyke is one of the worst. It’s a shame that my Republican colleagues have chosen to rubber-stamp his confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Mr. VanDyke also has a long record of attacking LGBTQ rights and a woman’s right to choose. He refused to say that he believes same-sex couples can effectively raise children. His extreme statements make him entirely unfit to serve as a judge. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Speaking of Montana—Mr. VanDyke only moved to Nevada, the state where he will now serve as a judge, after he failed to win office in Montana. He only became an active member of the NV bar in 2017. Why didn’t Republicans choose someone with longstanding NV ties? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Emails show that Mr. VanDyke has let the gun lobby shape his litigation decisions. And during his unsuccessful campaign for the Montana Supreme Court, he sought the NRA’s endorsement, saying that gun control laws are “misdirected.” He prejudged the issue. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The American Bar Association’s peer review process found Mr. VanDyke “not qualified” and described him as “arrogant, lazy, an ideologue, and lacking in knowledge of the day-to-day practice.” Americans deserve qualified, non-ideological judges with proper temperament. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Senate Republicans are doing untold damage to our federal judiciary by rubber-stamping so many of President Trump’s radical & unqualified judicial nominees. Today, it was Lawrence VanDyke. Here is some of what we know about Mr. VanDyke: — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Glad to see Senate Foreign Relations Committee pass @SenMarkey's resolution, that I proudly cosponsored, calling on the government of the Philippines to end the troubling detention of Filipina Senator Leila de Lima and harassment of @rapplerdotcom journalist Maria Ressa. — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary DeVos has the power to immediately grant full relief to defrauded student borrowers. Why won’t she let these students who have been victimized by for-profit schools get on with their lives? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
This latest scheme by Secretary Betsy DeVos to penalize student borrowers is an outrage. The Department refuses to use Gainful Employment data to hold poor performing programs accountable, but is willing to use it to punish defrauded borrowers. — PolitiTweet.org

When it’s all said & done, in 2027 more than 80% of the benefits from the Republican tax bill will go to the top 1% of earners. And it will add $1.9 trillion to our national deficit. A real work of art from a party of so-called “fiscal conservatives.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We were told the Republican tax scam—which slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%—would be an investment in America’s working families. Instead those same corporations announced more than $1 trillion in stock buybacks in 2018 alone. How does that help the middle class? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It’s hard to believe that it has been two years since Republicans in Congress gave out more than $1 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires and corporations, leaving middle class families behind without a second thought. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
What did President Trump discuss with the Russians yesterday? There should have only been one topic of discussion—election interference. If the President did not warn against further interference, then why were the Russians invited to the White House? https://t.co/8T0BRVFsUj — PolitiTweet.org

There are now more than 5 million children vaping—a 135% increase in the last two years of this presidency. Given the First Lady’s expressed personal interest in this issue, I’m asking her to continue fighting for e-cigarette flavor restrictions that protect kids. https://t.co/eYXjPFPjEq — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Three months ago, the First Lady joined Pres. Trump in promising to get e-cig flavors out of the hands of children "within weeks"—flavors like gummy bear & cool mint. Rather than implementing this policy, the Trump Admin has seemingly reversed course. That is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and renew my commitment to fight anti-Semitism and racism by passing my Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act and the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The upsurge in attacks on Jewish communities in the U.S. is unacceptable. The horrific shooting in Jersey City yesterday is just the latest example. My prayers are with the victims, their families, & the brave first responders who risked their lives to protect others. — PolitiTweet.org
