That’s why I submitted a resolution last month to reiterate U.S. support for the UN anti-corruption commission and free, fair, and transparent elections in Guatemala. The Guatemalan people deserve better. https://t.co/GiCqe1nIUv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We must address the root causes driving migrants to our border, and fighting corruption in Northern Triangle countries like Guatemala should be a top priority. The United States should be promoting democracy and stability abroad, not working against them. https://t.co/aNiCGwFPGX — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s tweets saying Democratic congresswomen of color should “go back” to where they came from are racist and reprehensible. Elected officials of both parties should stand up and renounce the President’s statements. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why last week I introduced the Affordable Insulin Approvals Now Act, a bipartisan bill with @SenKevinCramer and @SenTinaSmith, to boost competition & bring lower-cost generic insulin to patients sooner. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Insulin was discovered in 1921 & its patent sold for $1. But today, the price of insulin has skyrocketed more than 600% over the past 2 decades. America’s Insulin Scandal must come to an end. How can a 20th Century cure be so unaffordable in the 21st Century? https://t.co/IOLAKRhCxh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today and everyday we call for an end to the Trump Administration’s cruel anti-immigrant policies that continue to separate children & families and put people seeking asylum in inhumane conditions. https://t.co/NCB7YiMgBc — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to stand with @RepChuyGarcia, @RepMikeQuigley, @CongressmanRaja, @ChicagosMayor, and the people of Little Village in solidarity with the immigrant community. https://t.co/WxPKZSGrqF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Joining @FaceTheNation and @margbrennan this morning to discuss the Trump Administration's cruel anti-immigrant agenda and how it has led to a humanitarian crisis at our border and fear & chaos across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thank you @RepBillFoster, @RepCasten, @Skilling, and all the climate experts for sharing your insight at @northcentralcol as we talk about ways to invest in clean energy—which is essential to preserve the planet as we know it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Climate change is an issue impacting our country, our world, and our quality of life as humans on this planet. We have a role to play to leave a better world for our kids. The time to act is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The United States is the only nation on Earth that has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Agreement. Every other nation has acknowledged that climate change is a problem and we need to work together to combat it. https://t.co/ecZ4a1G8w1 — PolitiTweet.org

Therefore, he disqualified himself from a position in Admin, particularly in Dept of Labor, which is supposed to monitor human trafficking. To think that this man, Sec Acosta, treated Epstein w such kid-gloves after the charges that were brought against him, made it unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I called on Secretary Acosta to resign earlier this week and I’m glad he heeded those calls. After details emerged around the soft treatment that he gave to Mr. Epstein, it is clear he didn’t take the charges seriously. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Cruelty should have no place in this country. If you are an immigrant, know your rights: https://t.co/arOizihgqt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I stood with Rep. Delia Ramirez, Rep. Kelly Cassidy, @CommsUnited families, and community leaders to address the threat of mass arrests and mass deportations of immigrant families, which will lead to many families being separated. https://t.co/q5uh0snrIr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In light of the Trump Administration’s cruel plan for mass family arrests, separations, and deportations, it’s imperative that immigrants know their rights. More information here: https://t.co/arOizihgqt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Eventually, the history of our time will be written and we’re going to have to answer for the ways we’re treating migrants at our border. Mass arrests and deportations are fundamentally inconsistent with the values of the United States of America. We must be better than this. https://t.co/qUsOFErqHt — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulating my mother's homeland and the Lithuanian people on their newly elected president, @GitanasNauseda, who was sworn into office today. I welcome the continued strong friendship with a NATO ally who helped lead the way for Eastern Europe’s freedom from the Soviet Union. — PolitiTweet.org

Over 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions – including 5 million Illinoisans are protected by the ACA. If President Trump has his way, insurance companies will once again be able to deny, drop, and overcharge people with pre-existing conditions. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, I sent a letter with @SenatorLeahy & @SenFeinstein to @DHSGov to see whether family separations are planned as part of the upcoming ICE raids. Systematically separating children from their parents is simply un-American. https://t.co/nSQ1AoBcrM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Cruelty does not make America safer. Mass arrests and deportations are only going to create fear in communities across the United States & separate more families & children. We are better than this. https://t.co/H1qiKEttZw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Insulin was discovered nearly a century ago - yet prices have skyrocketed without justification, year after year. Today I intro’d a bill with @SenKevinCramer & @SenTinaSmith to speed up approvals of generic, lower-cost insulin. It’s time to tell Big Pharma that enough is enough. https://t.co/XoVQ9DAMzx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, I joined with a bipartisan group of Senators to request that @HHSGov consult with @DEAHQ & @TheJusticeDept to ensure legislation doesn’t prevent research into critical overdose and addiction treatments. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m concerned by the broad set of drugs that @DEAHQ & @TheJusticeDept want Congress to add to Schedule 1 with no scientific consultation. I’m concerned these sweeping changes will harm our efforts to combat the opioid epidemic. https://t.co/FXcMKzUHrn — PolitiTweet.org

The majority of veterans enrolled in the VA health care system are non-smokers & should be protected from deadly consequences of secondhand smoke. Today I intro'd bill supporting the VA's efforts to prohibit smoking at VHA facilities & help protect the lives of America’s heroes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Immigration is a complex issue, but we shouldn’t be divided on how we treat children & families. Today, I’m joining @SenSchumer @SenJeffMerkley @PattyMurray & @MazieHirono to intro the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act to ensure humane treatment for migrants in our custody. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Mass arrests & deportation of undocumented families now scheduled to start Sunday. More children will be in detention and more families will be divided. These are not dangerous people. This is not about national security. This is about fear & hate. America is better than this. — PolitiTweet.org
