Remember—back in August, after the tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Dayton, & Odessa, Pres. Trump & the GOP promised to work with Democrats to address gun violence. But nothing has happened since. No plans presented, no compromises delivered. A tragic failure in leadership. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
My heart goes out to the victims and those traumatized by shootings like the Santa Clarita school shooting today. Sadly, tragedies like this can—and should—be prevented. We must come together as a nation to address the gun violence crisis. There’s no other way. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Devastating reports of yet another school shooting. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Senate Dems *today* asked that the Senate take up the bipartisan background checks bill that the House passed in February. Senate Rs objected, saying the bill “should not be fast tracked.” — PolitiTweet.org

BOP plays a critical role in implementing the landmark First Step Act. In our meeting today, I asked BOP Director Dr. Hawk Sawyer to address issues like staffing shortages & the overuse of solitary confinement that are undermining the progress of criminal justice reform. https://t.co/kQ915STZXs — PolitiTweet.org

I’m disappointed by the DoD OIG’s decision not to investigate the delayed release of Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funding that was appropriated by Congress.

Our government is at its best when we work together to address issues like infrastructure and transportation. Always great to host Illinois mayors from the West Central Municipal Conference in Washington. https://t.co/v680OIvAS1 — PolitiTweet.org

The President’s trade wars are hurting all farmers, but for some reason Pres. Trump’s USDA is helping out cotton farmers more than soybean farmers. https://t.co/0tvB3uKq83 — PolitiTweet.org

Steven Menashi is entirely unfit to serve on this nation’s second highest court. I will vote against his nomination tomorrow. I urge my Republican colleagues to join me in doing so. https://t.co/LW2Im5hMZZ — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of women in Illinois depend on @PPFA for quality health care. I’m looking forward to working with @PPFA Acting President & CEO @alexismcgill to adequately fund Planned Parenthood & push back against the Trump Admin’s harmful “gag rule.” https://t.co/3oYw09l76o — PolitiTweet.org

Pres. Trump must raise Pres. Erdogan’s cozying up to Putin & abysmal human rights record during their meeting—including violence against the Kurds & the mass detention of journalists, rights activists, & local staff of U.S. Consulates. Pres. Trump can’t keep giving Turkey a pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I joined my @SenateAgDems colleagues, @SenStabenow, @SenTinaSmith, and @AmyKlobuchar, to oppose funding language used by the Trump EPA to allow Big Oil to wreck ethanol and biodiesel. https://t.co/dDu16PYSB9 — PolitiTweet.org

Troubled by the ongoing violence in Hong Kong. The overwhelming majority of HK citizens aspire for greater political freedom—it’s time for Leader McConnell to allow a vote on the bipartisan Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019. https://t.co/Y4rygigO1j — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The House passed the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization 223 days ago. Senator McConnell has yet to hold a vote in the Senate. The House is doing its job for the American people, Senate Republicans are not. The Senate remains little more than a legislative graveyard. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see Gambia file suit at the International Court of Justice accusing Burma of genocide against the Rohingya. Senator McConnell should show the same kind of leadership and allow a vote on the bipartisan Burma Human Rights and Freedom Act of 2019 immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Writers, from @AuthorDanBrown & @JohnGrisham to the next aspiring author, must be able to protect their copyrighted works from infringement. Good to sit down with these authors & @AuthorsGuild to discuss the CASE Act and the protections it provides. https://t.co/XXNLDJeM6Z — PolitiTweet.org

Good to meet with Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel Romauldez yesterday to discuss the continued detention of Philippine Senator Leila de Lima and troubling harassment of journalist Maria Ressa. Both should be resolved immediately. https://t.co/CdW4eTClkj — PolitiTweet.org

Straw purchases are driving gun violence in Chicago. I have a bipartisan bill to crack down on straw purchases—the Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act—but it's stuck in Sen. Mitch McConnell’s legislative graveyard. The Senate should take up & vote on this bill without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump must stop AG Barr’s undermining of the landmark bipartisan reforms that I authored with @ChuckGrassley to reduce sentences for nonviolent drug offenses. https://t.co/9fs2bS18e4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate votes soon on the nomination of Chad Wolf, who will be appointed acting head of DHS. He was deeply involved in family separations & DACA repeal. This should be grounds for dismissal, but the Trump Administration wants to give Mr. Wolf a promotion. I will vote no. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with two #Dreamers—Cesar and Fernanda—before sharing their stories on the Senate floor. They are just two of the many brave & determined #Dreamers who want nothing more than to stay in the only country they’ve ever called home. #HomeIsHere — PolitiTweet.org

Going to the Senate floor to discuss #DACA as it goes before the Supreme Court. https://t.co/ZYPLMULHnU
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
As #DACA goes before the Supreme Court, our values as Americans are at stake. Immigrants make the United States a better and stronger place. I hope the Justices will join me in standing with #Dreamers. #HomeIsHere #ProtectDreamers https://t.co/jahJXVfYSJ — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I just went to the Senate floor to request unanimous consent to immediately pass the House-passed, bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act that would establish a path to citizenship for #Dreamers. Republicans objected. I will not stop fighting to #ProtectDreamers — PolitiTweet.org

If Pres. Trump is allowed to terminate the #DACA program, the impact will be felt in every corner of our society. Our health care system would be hit particularly hard without the hard work of #Dreamers in health care professions across the country. https://t.co/oCeVFwBL9k — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
#Dreamers are some of the most courageous and determined people in the United States of America. The President’s attacks on #DACA & these young people are shameful and cruel. I will always stand with #Dreamers. #HomeIsHere #ProtectDreamers https://t.co/lEtXVTgyco — PolitiTweet.org
