This move – now sanctioned by GOP Senators – to bypass Congress in order to divert these funds is unacceptable. Unless Congress can stand up & defend its role as defined by our Constitution, I fear that our work will be undermined by this President & by future Administrations. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today, I introduced a budget amendment with @SenatorLeahy that would have stopped the diversion of military funds to the President’s ineffective border wall. Senate Republicans voted it down in a party-line vote, 15-16. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
According to our Constitution, Congress holds the power of the purse – not the President. When Congress appropriates funds, we should believe that it actually means something – that no President, Republican or Democrat, can simply ignore us for their own selfish purposes. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to cosponsor the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which Congress should pass as soon as possible to express U.S. support for the democratic aspirations of the people of Hong Kong. https://t.co/BV5isCqIRa — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday’s e-cigarette flavor ban out of @US_FDA was welcome news, but they should have acted years ago to get these flavors and illegal devices off the market. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
In my meeting today with @FDACommissioner, I wanted to convey a clear message: #VapingTargetsKids. Nationwide, 5 million children are vaping today – more than 1 in 4 high schoolers - and it’s because of JUUL and mint/fruit/candy flavors like unicorn milk and gummy bear. https://t.co/8RbIQJ8mSt — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the Illinoisans from @GrowthEnergy for presenting me with the Fueling Growth Award for my ethanol support. EPA snuck 81 waivers to oil refineries despite record profits, which closed 15 ethanol plants, hitting 2,500 rural jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Educating our nation’s students is a responsibility we cannot afford to take lightly. Wonderful to sit down today with @janicejackson, CEO of @ChiPubSchools, to talk education policy, the Chicago HEAL initiative, and ending youth vaping. https://t.co/tIWMcC1BXJ — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t allow President Trump and his team of anti-immigrant zealots in the White House to ignore Congress in making these harmful cuts. Read my letter with @SenFeinstein here: https://t.co/TXrdCShZnH — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
For decades, the United States has provided safe haven to the world’s most vulnerable refugees. The Trump Admin. is seeking to bypass Congress to end this long-standing bipartisan tradition & once again drastically cut the number of refugees we'll accept. https://t.co/79rMclEXSe — PolitiTweet.org

It is critical that the @USGAO investigate the Trump Administration’s land grab, and I’m glad that they will be looking into this matter. https://t.co/I1BLeXOfOj — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
67% of the land along the southwest border belongs to U.S. citizens, not the federal government. Pres. Trump has already raided funds that Congress had appropriated to take care of our brave service members, and now he’s trying to seize private land to build his ineffective wall. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
We need a grown-up in this role. Someone who understands the consequences of war and the importance of diplomacy. Who realizes the U.S. should play a positive role in global affairs. Who’s willing to tell the President that he’s wrong. I'm not confident that's who we'll get. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I don’t believe John Bolton was ever a good choice for National Security Advisor, but now we hold our breath to see who might follow. I’m seriously concerned that the President will make his choice based on a cable TV performance. The last thing we need is a yes-man. https://t.co/nCEdMt0xFG — PolitiTweet.org

High-capacity ammunition magazines aren’t necessary for hunting or self-defense, and are all too often used to commit mass murder. Enough is enough. It’s time for Senate Republicans to hold a vote and pass the #KeepAmericaSafe Act to place reasonable limits on magazine capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking on the Senate floor about the Trump Administration's decision to take flavored e-cigarettes off the market. https://t.co/GlquJBcUaJ — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The Trump Administration promises to take flavored vaping pods off the market. With an e-cigarette epidemic in our schools, this action is long overdue but welcome. #VapingTargetsKids End kids vaping now. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
#VapingTargetsKids, and these flavors—mint, menthol, gummy bear, Unicorn Milk, lung candy—have been essential to the industry luring children into this new addiction. I will closely review @US_FDA’s guidance. Finally, @US_FDA is doing its job. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump admin. plans to "clear the market of flavored e-cigarettes" amid a vaping crisis. https://t.co/1mCku2sutu
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
#VapingTargetsKids. Just look at the flavors on the market today. Unicorn milk, bubble gum, gummy bear. These aren’t aimed at a 50-year-old chain smoker trying to quit cigarettes. They’re designed to attract children, and they’re working. It’s time @US_FDA puts an end to it. https://t.co/ax0mKjgpcu — PolitiTweet.org

Today, 1 out of 5 high-schoolers nationwide are vaping – an increase of 80% over the last year. They were told—by JUUL—that it’s a safe alternative to tobacco. It’s not. We need @US_FDA to step up today, or this deadly epidemic is only going to grow. #VapingTargetsKids https://t.co/9sMMQEIpHG — PolitiTweet.org

Under the Trump Admin, the farming economy has been tied into knots. If the President actually wants Illinois’ farmers to succeed, he must provide more clarity and assistance to farmers everywhere, including those of the @NFUDC. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to be a recipient of the @NFUDC Golden Triangle Award, and I’ll continue to push for policies that support our farmers and rural communities in Illinois. https://t.co/yJvflV0IXy — PolitiTweet.org
