Great discussion with Chairman of @thejointstaff, Gen. Milley, yesterday about the need to fully fund our troops and the rest of the federal government, as well as the host of challenges facing our nation around the world, especially in the Middle East and Asia. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I met with members of the National Biodiesel Board, who represent soybean and biodiesel producers in IL, to discuss the biodiesel tax credit. I also assured them I would continue my efforts to end the Trump Admin's abuse of small refinery hardship exemptions. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to catch up w/ Edward Douglas & his exceptional lawyer, MiAngel Cody, in DC today. Mr. Douglas received a life sentence that was triggered by two minor nonviolent drug convictions. After 16 years in prison, he became one of the first people released under the #FirstStepAct. https://t.co/98TBp6enwk — PolitiTweet.org

The @NatlParkService & Chicago community have worked hard to rehabilitate historic structures in the Pullman neighborhood. My bill with @SenDuckworth, the Pullman National Historic Park Act, would ensure NPS continues to preserve this area's unique history.https://t.co/EdQNwPdzRJ — PolitiTweet.org

The Pentagon is now confirming my worst fears & expectations—President Trump’s decision to pull out of Syria & allow Turkey to invade has given new life to ISIS. And now the Russian military occupies American military bases in Syria. An all-around disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Turkey’s military offensive in northern Syria has helped ISIS, according to a new Pentagon assessment https://t.co/Bwd3TENVqL

Senator Mitch McConnell is wasting the United States Senate, proudly creating his own legislative graveyard. If the Senate Majority Leader doesn’t want to use the Senate, he should give it to someone who will. @SenateDems have a few ideas. https://t.co/TAIIvX6IzA — PolitiTweet.org

Encouraged to learn Equatorial Guinean political prisoner Joaquin Elo Ayeto will finally have his day in court this week. All the charges against him should be dropped and he should be freed at that time. https://t.co/i5fhDTQECO — PolitiTweet.org

We must ensure the First Step Act is implemented properly, but DOJ won't get on board. Instead of implementing required reforms, DOJ is resisting retroactive Fair Sentencing Act relief for eligible inmates & working to keep them behind bars. That’s just plain wrong. https://t.co/RHAKu1Jqks — PolitiTweet.org

Today on the Senate floor, I shared the story of Stefanie from Oak Park, and her son. Stefanie is afraid—her son has health issues and could lose his insurance if Republicans succeed in gutting the ACA. We can’t let that happen. We must protect people like Stefanie and her son. https://t.co/rJCfpVG9iC — PolitiTweet.org

I'm extremely disappointed that Pres. Trump seems to be breaking his promise to address our nation's youth vaping epidemic. 5M kids are now hooked on e-cigarettes—a 135% increase over the last 2 years of this presidency. Today I urged the President to put kids ahead of Big Vape. https://t.co/beKGslDcIO — PolitiTweet.org

I will oppose Sarah Pitlyk’s nomination to the Eastern District of Missouri. Mrs. Pitlyk is rated “not qualified” by the ABA, has never tried a case, and has a history of attacking reproductive rights. She is entirely unfit for a lifetime appointment as a federal trial judge. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking on the Senate floor about President Trump's decision to seemingly reverse course on a planned e-cigarette flavor ban, breaking his promise to address our nation's youth vaping epidemic. https://t.co/B9Z2STHomy — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the @ILTreasurer for @ILSecureChoice’s 1-year anniversary. Through IL Secure Choice, Illinois is leading the way in helping more than 32,000 workers prepare for the future by saving for retirement. https://t.co/U7dRxn2F0n — PolitiTweet.org

Today @SenatorTomUdall, @MartinHeinrich, @SenBaldwin, @SenFeinstein & I wrote to @Interior to oppose its attempt to walk back protections for wilderness areas in Utah, including the Maganese Road. Read our letter to Sec. Bernhardt here: https://t.co/IJcxSU8N91 — PolitiTweet.org

Last Friday, DoD informed Congress that $35 million in critical Ukraine military funding is still unspent. Why the continued delay? @SenatorLeahy, @SenJackReed, @SenatorMenendez & I are asking DoD Sec. Esper to accelerate the release of this promised aid & answer for its delay. https://t.co/WjTWFkqvf0 — PolitiTweet.org

Is the Trump @USDA playing it straight? It shouldn’t be picking & choosing which farmers and which states it's going to help deal with the fallout from the President’s disastrous trade war. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois soybean farmers are hurting from the President’s trade war with China. Worse yet, in trade aid payments per acre, the top five states are all in the South, with Georgia ranked first. Cotton was barely touched by the Trump-China trade war, but soybeans were clobbered. — PolitiTweet.org

There are around 191,000 Vietnam-era veterans living in IL. Many were exposed to toxins like Agent Orange during their service & are suffering for it. Now the Trump Admin is objecting to covering three diseases commonly linked to Agent Orange for our vets. That’s unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence is taking lives across this country every day. When will Senate Republicans finally say #EnoughIsEnough? It’s long past time for Leader McConnell to hold a Senate vote on the House-passed bipartisan background checks bill. https://t.co/0PkvEyQhYD — PolitiTweet.org

Pres. Trump 9/11: “We have a problem in our country … nobody really thought about too much a few years ago, and it's called "vaping" -- especially vaping as it pertains to innocent children … And we're going to have to do something about it. ” Pres. Trump 11/18: Nevermind. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning at @IGBIllinois I discussed the need to restore the United States’ commitment to breakthrough scientific, biomedical, and agricultural research. That is why this year I introduced the American Cures Act, the American Innovation Act, and the America Grows Act. https://t.co/9XLDtk7FLW — PolitiTweet.org

The generic, evasive response we received back is unacceptable when the Child Solider Prevention Act bans the US from providing military assistance to governments that use children in combat. Today, @SenatorLeahy & I led a bicameral letter to Sec. Pompeo to demand real answers. https://t.co/j8N3Re7m0w — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Back in July, my @SenateDems colleagues & I pressed Sec. Pompeo on his decision to omit Saudi Arabia from the list of countries known to recruit child soldiers in the 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report despite @StateDept findings that suggest Saudi Arabia should be included. — PolitiTweet.org
