We’ve been playing whack-a-mole with Republican conspiracy theories for far too long and it has got to stop. The report released by the DOJ’s OIG this week made it clear—there is no evidence that the FBI’s Russia investigation was influenced by bias against President Trump. https://t.co/pf2YEDtYdv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m joining @Morning_Joe shortly to discuss today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Justice Department IG’s report into the FBI’s 2016 Russia investigation. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While the DOJ continues to resist fully implementing the First Step Act, I'm proud to work with partners like @FAMM to ensure this legislation is fully implemented. It was an honor to hear the stories of the men & women released from prison under the First Step Act today. https://t.co/kQt413O3cb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Whether it's a Grammy-winning chart-topper or a new song from an up-and-comer, every original tune should have protections from theft and infringement. Great to host @Jason_Mraz today to talk about the importance of the CASE Act for singers and songwriters. https://t.co/9JiyzSoXEX — PolitiTweet.org

As Pres. Trump welcomes Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to the White House today, Ukraine is still waiting for an Oval Office meeting. We know that Russia is planning to interfere in our election again—they deserve sanctions & a warning, not invitations to the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is clear that the Burmese military committed genocidal crimes against the Rohingya and ethnic minorities in Burma. I’m glad to see that the U.S. is sanctioning the top Burmese military leaders involved in abuses against the Rohingya. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

250 days ago, the House passed the Violence Against Women Act. It has been sitting on the Senate Calendar ever since, and Senate Majority Leader McConnell has refused to bring it the floor for a vote. Sadly, #VAWA is one of many such bills. What a way to waste the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Radical, unqualified judges like Mr. VanDyke will do untold damage to our federal judiciary. I will vote against Mr. VanDyke’s confirmation tomorrow and hope that some of my Republican colleagues will join me and @SenateDems to #StopVanDyke. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Mr. VanDyke has said that he believes there is “ample reason for concern that same-sex marriage will hurt families, & consequentially children and society” and refused to tell Senate Judiciary Committee members whether he believed same-sex couples can effectively raise children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tomorrow, Senate Republicans will rubber stamp Lawrence VanDyke for a lifetime appointment to serve as a 9th Circuit judge. Mr. VanDyke’s extreme statements on LGBTQ rights, women’s reproductive rights, & gun safety make him entirely unfit for this appointment. #StopVanDyke — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As #COP25 continues today, I'm joining @SenateDems to introduce a resolution reaffirming that despite the President's actions – We’re Still In. America will continue to work on the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement despite the President's inaction. https://t.co/HxfSXtFUjX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The President made a terrible decision when he pulled the U.S. out the historic Paris Climate Agreement. In the absence of White House leadership, cities and states are left to propose bold solutions & set strategies to combat the impacts of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Colombia’s generosity and humanity to millions of their fleeing Venezuelan neighbors are to be applauded. Today I spoke with Colombian Ambassador to the U.S. Francisco Santos about the staggering humanitarian crisis that Maduro has created in Venezuela. https://t.co/8DhQ3T9GN4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

On the second anniversary of Pres. Trump’s FCC’s repeal of #NetNeutrality, @SenateDems are going to the Senate floor to demand that Leader McConnell hold a vote on the #SaveTheInternetAct immediately. The internet should belong to the American people, not massive corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Net neutrality is essential to a free and open internet. But the #SaveTheInternetAct—like so many other bills this Congress—has passed the House & awaits a vote in the Senate. Yet another bill that will die in Senator McConnell’s legislative graveyard. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I joined @MarshaBlackburn & a bipartisan group of Senators in urging Aung San Suu Kyi to instead fully cooperate with the International Court of Justice to advance accountability and support the human rights of all people in Burma. https://t.co/pDyisLQt3A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It's clear that the Burmese military committed genocidal crimes against the Rohingya & ethnic minorities in Burma. If Burmese State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi defends these actions before the International Court of Justice, it'd be an unprecedented public excuse for violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I hope Pres. Trump & Sec. Pompeo focus their meetings with Russian officials on firmly warning against future election interference, Russian assassinations in the West, and renewing the New Start Treaty instead of parroting the Kremlin’s propaganda like others in their party. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Republicans were promising this Inspector General report would be a “deep-state” bombshell. That turns out to be “fake news.” Read my full statement on the DOJ OIG’s report here: https://t.co/BheNxomtH1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Mr. VanDyke holds backwards views on LGBTQ rights as well, writing in 2004 that there is “ample reason for concern that same-sex marriage will hurt families, & consequently children and society.” He is entirely unfit for this appointment & I will vote against his confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This week, Senate R’s plan to rubber-stamp another unqualified Trump judicial nominee in Lawrence VanDyke. Mr. VanDyke was found “not qualified” by the ABA peer review process & was described as “arrogant, lazy, an ideologue, and lacking in knowledge of the day-to-day practice.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It has become clear that Stephen Miller is entirely unfit to serve in the White House in any capacity. It is unacceptable that he remains a senior advisor to the President. I’m joining @SenKamalaHarris in demanding Mr. Miller’s immediate removal from the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Congratulations to the Jesse White Tumblers on 60 years of entertainment—and thank you to Jesse White for providing mentorship and a place for young people to grow. https://t.co/J9ptbdxp3g — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the members of my Service Academy selection committee who meet in Springfield each year to sort through the applications and put forth strong nominees for each branch of our nation’s military. https://t.co/Xx0MYPIHKw — PolitiTweet.org

Today we commemorate the 78th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and honor the heroic individuals who sacrificed their lives to protect our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy, but it is under attack across the United States. I urge Leader McConnell to take up this legislation immediately. It’s time to #RestoreTheVote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

6.2 MILLION middle and high schoolers are now regularly using tobacco products, mostly e-cigarettes. The Trump @US_FDA needs to take this seriously—and the President needs to follow through on his promise to ban e-cig flavors. https://t.co/dXLe0T4aEv — PolitiTweet.org
