.@EsperanzaHealth has flourished since opening their Brighton Park location in 2019. I’m glad that @SenDuckworth & I were able to secure $1 million in funding to help Esperanza continue to expand & provide top-notch care and treatment for Chicagoans. https://t.co/r0y8dilyy1 — PolitiTweet.org

I can't think of a more fitting home for the world's largest 3D printer than @Arsenal_Island. The Arsenal has proven it's capable of modernizing to meet today's challenges, and I look forward to seeing the cutting edge technology that comes from the Arsenal's new assignment. https://t.co/loazfb9svT — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbroken to hear of a devastating school shooting in St. Louis. I am praying for the victims and their families. Horrific gun violence is a scourge on our communities and we must not waver in our determination to reduce it. Our kids deserve that from us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Chicago has lost far too many young people to gun violence. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. We must do more to protect our youth from the senseless shootings that plague our communities. https://t.co/DXKbqOnl8W — PolitiTweet.org

I Am ALS's No Ordinary Campaign film follows @bsw5020 & @sabrevaya as they fight for their lives, & the lives of all ALS patients. The film is both heartbreaking & heartwarming, & shows how a patient-led movement can change the world. I am lucky to know these incredible people. https://t.co/8dtjKBGkb2 — PolitiTweet.org

This Congress, we have made historic progress in adding diversity to our bench by confirming a top-notch slate of judges. It is no longer just the beginning of our efforts to build a more diverse legal profession. Rather, today's progress was paved by yesterday’s trailblazers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As Chair of @JudiciaryDems I'm dedicated to the same mission that Just the Beginning started 30 years ago: Ensuring judges reflect the perspectives of the communities they serve. Thank you, @JTBAPO, for your important work and for inviting me to join your anniversary celebration. https://t.co/H9J2Mu88d1 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm here at Roberts Temple because telling Emmett Till's story is an important part of our history. That's why @SenDuckworth & I introduced the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley and Roberts Temple National Historic Site Act to add this site as a unit of the National Park System. https://t.co/CAVzfEUjiL — PolitiTweet.org

Postal employees in Chicago continue to have to perform their jobs while fearing for their safety. The special taskforce formed in response to our previous asks has been unsuccessful & the Postal Service must do more to protect the safety of its workforce. https://t.co/5KIA4ferGM — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I joined @RepSchakowsky and the Refugee Action Network to discuss the urgent need to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act. Doing what we can to support our Afghan allies is a moral imperative. We owe them a path out of Afghanistan and to stability in the United States. https://t.co/u3JspZA9eV — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I was honored to speak w/ the @ihccbusiness, the largest community of Hispanic business owners in IL & the Midwest. I will continue to support their mission to provide networking, advocacy, & development support to Hispanic-owned businesses in IL. https://t.co/cywBaqJRrq — PolitiTweet.org

I have long been committed to working on a bipartisan compromise that would protect Dreamers and address concerns regarding our southern border. I hope that, sooner rather than later, my colleagues across the aisle will rejoin me at the negotiating table. — PolitiTweet.org

These companies are right: ending DACA would hurt the economy. According to @FWDus, if DACA ended or renewals were restricted, an estimated 22,000 jobs would be lost each month for two years—at a time when workforce shortages are already driving up costs. https://t.co/DrpjdmPqhR — PolitiTweet.org

Reports of the atrocities committed by M23 are horrific. I led my colleagues in requesting Secretaries Yellen and Blinken use existing law to identify and hold those aiding in the execution of these atrocities accountable. https://t.co/LfNLEDVTpE — PolitiTweet.org

Putin's declaration of martial law in illegally annexed regions of Ukraine is another desperate attempt to cover up his military failures & war crimes. The Ukrainian people will not back down from his brutalization & we will continue to support their liberation. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenJohnThune & I are leading bipar coalition to strengthen Renewable Fuel Standard. @EPA has a historic opportunity to chart an expansion of low-carbon fuels that will reduce reliance on OPEC oil, give drivers more choices at the pump, tackle the climate crisis, & create jobs. https://t.co/JzTyDsYjTw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It’s evident that substance use disorder is a growing crisis, including among older Illinoisans. @RepUnderwood & I urged CMS to act immediately to help seniors fighting this battle. We cannot allow more families to grieve the loss of loved ones due to a lack of resources. https://t.co/rH27GzfaXy — PolitiTweet.org

While I welcome any tool to keep our election workers safe, this is a sad reality we've come to. Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, yet these public servants have faced a barrage of threats and abusive conduct from the MAGA-inspired election deniers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

When companies don’t comply with the law, FDA and DOJ can and should act. Today's actions by the Biden Administration are crucial to protecting young people from dangerous tobacco products and enforcing the law on the books. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite @usedgov repeatedly finding that fraudulent for-profit colleges mislead students and bury them in debt and worthless degrees, their owners and execs continue to take home huge profits. It's time for them to be held accountable. https://t.co/vWKYGAdLZi — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should be able to seek reproductive health care & medical providers should be able to provide essential services. While Republicans keep pushing a national abortion ban, I’ll keep fighting with my Democratic colleagues to protect every person’s right to choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act. An integral step in ensuring the longevity of the world's waterways, the Act paved the way for legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to combat toxic contamination & protect clean waters like our Great Lakes. — PolitiTweet.org

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs give survivors the tools they need to heal and rebuild their lives, and I'll keep working to ensure these programs have federal support so they can continue these life-changing services. — PolitiTweet.org
