As the nation grieves with the communities in El Paso and Dayton, we must remember that gun violence is not limited to these tragic mass shootings. There were shootings across the City of Chicago this weekend that left 7 people dead and more than 50 injured by gunfire. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The violence was so bad over the weekend that the emergency room at Mt. Sinai Hospital was forced to close for several hours as our hospitals and heroic first responders were stretched to their limit across the city. This is not normal. We must act now. https://t.co/ClgmDu2Y8a — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, we wake up to news of nine killed and 26 wounded in Dayton, Ohio, as well as seven wounded in a mass shooting near a playground in Chicago. Is this the new normal in America? Enough is enough. We can’t treat this as normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday we learned of twenty dead and dozens injured in El Paso. Hate-filled, anti-immigrant manifesto. Texas open carry law. Military-grade weapons. Connect the dots and ask yourself when America will say enough. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The tragedy in El Paso is heartbreaking & my prayers are with the victims, those injured & their loved ones. The gun violence epidemic plagues our nation each and every day. We must act now. Commonsense gun reforms will help save countless lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, President Trump signed into law another step forward to criminal justice reform, my First Step Act, which made the Fair Sentencing Act retroactive and has so far led to the release of 1,100 people who were serving unjust sentences for drug offenses. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Nine years ago, @BarackObama signed into law my Fair Sentencing Act, a compromise bill which dramatically lowered the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. It was the first law to counter the war on drugs by reducing unfair federal drug sentences. — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to talk with @ChiPublicSchools students participating in the Lakeview Pantry Summer Jobs Program. Students from all over the city have an opportunity to build upon their civic engagement experience by giving back to the community through the program. https://t.co/dORHuUeqgX — PolitiTweet.org

The 35-day government shutdown is still impacting our air traffic control system, 6 months later. With a shortage of air traffic controllers and the delayed implementation of new safety systems, we need to make sure we’re doing everything we can to secure our aviation system. https://t.co/TerZhYOT1t — PolitiTweet.org

JUUL is targeting our children with their dangerous and addictive products. Companies like JUUL are going to hook another entire generation of young people on nicotine. We can’t let that happen. https://t.co/lRs5MrUd8o — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act will increase safety in our communities by making it an explicit federal crime to act as a straw purchaser of firearms and by creating tougher penalties for trafficking guns to prohibited persons. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Straw purchasing and illicit trafficking often puts guns in the hands of people barred from possessing them, which is why @SenatorCollins, @SenatorLeahy, & I introduced a bill to crack down on these practices. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
While not perfect, this budget agreement will finally allow Congress to work on this year’s appropriations bills and invest in the programs that the American people rely on. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The bipartisan budget agreement reached today will avoid harmful cuts to domestic priorities and prevent a default on our nation’s debt. Most importantly, this agreement will help prevent another disastrous government shutdown. — PolitiTweet.org

Our infrastructure investments should lead to new jobs and growth for disadvantaged small businesses. Proud to introduce the Build Local, Hire Local Act w/ @SenDuckworth, prioritizing local workers & communities of color in any comprehensive infrastructure bill Congress reviews. — PolitiTweet.org

Today Republicans in the Senate Judiciary Committee violated multiple Committee rules to jam through a cruel & partisan bill that will do nothing to make our border more secure & targets vulnerable children for indefinite detention and deportation. America is better than this. https://t.co/Lb2Xm5a4c1 — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this week, Army Specialist Isaiah Nance, of Chicago, was killed in Afghanistan. The motto of the 82nd Airborne is, ‘Airborne all the way!’ Isaiah lived every bit of this motto in his faithful service to America and to his family and friends, with whom I grieve today. https://t.co/5zY1EBakIs — PolitiTweet.org

With too few medical providers & long distances between them, patients in rural America often struggle to get the health care they need. My bill w/ @MarshaBlackburn expands loan forgiveness programs in rural communities to attract more doctors, dentists & mental health providers. — PolitiTweet.org

Student loan debt is one of the only kinds of debt that can’t be discharged in bankruptcy and it’s time for that to change. My bill, the Student Borrower Bankruptcy Relief Act of 2019, would give our young people this much-needed second chance. https://t.co/h9l7O4be7j — PolitiTweet.org

In 2016, our nation’s top intelligence officials warned Congress about Russia’s ongoing attack against our elections, asking for a bipartisan response to this threat. What was Sen. McConnell’s response to this request? No thanks, he said, not going to do it. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It’s time for Sen. McConnell to put the country over his fear of the President’s tweets and take up legislation in the Senate to secure our elections. https://t.co/1lcTEJu76Z — PolitiTweet.org

Rural hospitals are the backbones of their communities, providing essential health care & boosting the local economy. To provide relief for hospitals facing financial hardship, @RepKinzinger & I are urging HHS to designate these vulnerable facilities as Critical Access Hospitals. https://t.co/swb5ZapPUH — PolitiTweet.org

On #WorldLungCancerDay, I remember my father. He smoked two packs of Camels every day & died of lung cancer when he was only 53. I have made it my mission in Congress to fight Big Tobacco & the senseless pain, suffering & death they have caused. That fight continues to this day. — PolitiTweet.org

It makes no sense that our current @FDACommissioner refuses to take action against JUUL & the kid-friendly nicotine flavors addicting our children. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The @AmerAcadPeds has called JUUL “a fatally flawed product” and now @DavidAKesslerMD—pediatrician & former FDA Commissioner—outlines how JUUL took a page out of Big Tobacco’s playbook & designed a nicotine-delivery device that purposely appeals to kids. — PolitiTweet.org

The blueprint for JUUL's e-cigarette could easily have been taken straight out of the tobacco industry’s playbook,… https://t.co/D3z8iHvbkM
