It’s time to provide these borrowers the relief to which they are entitled under the law and Congress the answers we seek. You can read our letter here: https://t.co/7jxd6R5alI — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @PattyMurray & I followed up with Sec. Devos on the @usedgov's continued failure to provide information on the status of group discharge applications from State AGs on behalf of thousands of defrauded students across 21 states. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
More than 200,000 defrauded borrowers are waiting for a decision from @BetsyDeVosED on their borrower defense claims. But despite @SenateDems & @EdLaborCmte efforts, no claims have been processed for more than a year and the Dept. has failed to provide answers about the claims. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I’m also joining @SenWarren, @RepLBR and others in asking HHS and CMS about their efforts to address this unacceptable public health crisis. We can and must be better than this. You can read our letter here: https://t.co/NdUiGO0nda — PolitiTweet.org

Maternal death rates are far too high in the United States, which is why I introduced the MOMMA Act with @RepRobinKelly to improve health outcomes for new moms and babies—especially women and infants of colors. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
My commonsense, bipartisan bill with @SenMikeLee, the Smarter Sentencing Act, corrects this injustice by giving judges the authority to conduct an individualized review in sentencing certain nonviolent drug offenses. Read more about our new bill here: https://t.co/OPtJ0oQkC1 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Mandatory minimum penalties for non-violent drug offenses have played a large role in the explosion of the U.S. prison population. Once seen as a strong deterrent, these mandatory sentences have too often been unfair, fiscally irresponsible, and a threat to public safety. — PolitiTweet.org

You can read more about my bill with @SenTinaSmith, @SenKevinCramer, @SenatorBaldwin, @SenHydeSmith, and @SenatorWicker here: https://t.co/UC0Pib0vLa — PolitiTweet.org

Insulin was discovered a century ago, yet prices today have skyrocketed & millions of Americans with diabetes are suffering as a result. My bipartisan Insulin Affordability Data Collection Act will help us find solutions for people struggling to afford this life-saving drug. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of listening to Big Vape and Big Tobacco, President Trump should listen to our kids. https://t.co/2iqidsISr3 — PolitiTweet.org

Today @ADMGrain shared with me their difficulties with the China trade war, the @EPA refinery waivers that damage biodiesel demand, and the biodiesel tax credit. https://t.co/BRypDIiVqu — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Always good to hear from Illinoisans about the issues that matter most to them at today’s Illinois Constituent Coffee in Washington with @SenDuckworth. https://t.co/4bZUcT1H09 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Big Vape and Big Tobacco’s lobbying & misleading ad campaign on Fox seems to be working. If so, our kids will pay the price in addiction and lung damage. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Remember when the President and the First Lady announced from the Oval Office that they would take dramatic steps to end the epidemic of children vaping? Well it looks like that promise is going up in smoke. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
.@USDA has been trying to take food off the table from 8,000 low-income seniors & disabled residents in IL by blocking SNAP access in supportive living facilities across the state. Today, I led the IL Congressional Delegation in pushing back against USDA’s bureaucratic overreach. https://t.co/So2IwCyk5u — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Pleased to see @USDA continue flexibility with crop insurance premiums, as we requested in our August letter to USDA. https://t.co/tzGCS9Q5ng — PolitiTweet.org

Big Pharma spends $6 billion to flood the airwaves with drug ads that tell you everything but the price. Patients deserve to know the cost, but Big Pharma wants to keep it a secret. Yesterday, I tried to pass my bill with @ChuckGrassley to require price tags in drug ads. https://t.co/2JWe3dIWrs — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
ICE is holding far too many immigrants in solitary confinement, which should only be used as a last resort. This is about fundamental human rights—proud to introduce legislation with @SenBooker & @SenKamalaHarris to strictly limit this practice in ICE facilities. — PolitiTweet.org
NBC News @NBCNews
NEW: Sen. Durbin proposes limits on ICE solitary confinement after @NBCNews investigation. https://t.co/JjFhXi0EZB
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I’m proud of the progress that was made in Illinois today, with both chambers of the General Assembly passing legislation to cap insulin costs for Illinois families. I’m working on several bills at the federal level to also tackle Big Pharma’s Insulin Pricing Scandal. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
More than 30M Americans live w/diabetes— and they're worried about rising insulin prices & the Trump Admin's efforts to eliminate protections for people w/pre-existing conditions. That’s why I'm fighting to reduce drug prices & protect health insurance for all. #WorldDiabetesDay — PolitiTweet.org

#Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, amputation, heart disease, kidney failure and early death. Simple action… https://t.co/fesBIIqqVW

Violent hate crimes are being committed in the U.S. at a rate we haven’t seen in 16 years. Congress must address this rise in hate. My Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act would help do just that by enhancing our ability to prevent acts of domestic terrorism. https://t.co/s89NCBUQjU — PolitiTweet.org

A fourth Illinois resident has died from vaping. And we’re still waiting on the President’s plan to address this public health crisis. Something has got to give—we can’t keep putting this off. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: Another Illinois resident has died from a vaping-related lung injury, per health officials. https://t.co/8LlZHNtkvQ

Mr. Menashi’s confirmation process was deeply troubling, as is his confirmation today. Sadly, he is but the latest in a long list of unqualified and unfit judicial nominees appointed by Pres. Trump and rubber-stamped by Senate Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Mr. Menashi’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee was an embarrassment. He refused to answer basic questions from both Democrats and Republicans, including about his work with Stephen Miller as a White House aide. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Mr. Menashi advised Betsy DeVos on some of the most anti-student measures the Dept. of Education has ever implemented. The legal scheme he devised to deny relief for students defrauded by for-profit colleges was a debacle, struck down in court for violating student privacy. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Mr. Menashi wrote that “charges of racism are typically overblown,” & “gun control legislation is pointless & self-defeating because guns reduce crime.” He wrote that “the animal rights crowd is by & large a contemptible bunch.” Does this sound like judicial temperament to you? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Mr. Menashi lacks even the most basic courtroom experience. He has never argued in court, conducted a deposition, or tried a case. Instead, he’s written dozens of incendiary editorials & articles where he showed a lack of judgement & judicial temperament. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today, Senate Republicans voted to confirm controversial Trump judicial nominee Steven Menashi for a lifetime appointment to serve on the nation’s second highest court. Every Senate Democrat voted no. Here’s why: — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Democrats stand ready to address this crisis, but we need Republicans to work with us. As long as Senate Majority Leader McConnell refuses to bring any gun safety bills up for a vote in the Senate, no progress can be made. Thoughts, prayers, and empty promises are not enough. — PolitiTweet.org
