Had a great time meeting with the Illinois @LCVoters today to talk about what I can do in the Senate to make sure we’re serious about taking on climate change. https://t.co/OTphnER7yx — PolitiTweet.org

Is it any surprise that the GOP tax cuts aren’t actually going to pay for themselves? Congress should pass my Working Families Tax Relief Act and put money back where it belongs – in the pockets of hardworking American families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, as we remember each of the 49 innocent lives lost that night, we must commit to doing all that we can to put an end to these senseless acts of gun violence and hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Three years have passed since the #Pulse Nightclub shooting. Unfortunately, little has changed in our nation’s gun laws since this devastating attack on the LGBTQ community. https://t.co/I2DjG7qf6I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

On #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor, we should be rethinking our labor practices and working to fix the gaps in U.S. law that allow for the exploitation of child labor. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to once again join @sensherrodbrown’s Senate Resolution recognizing Pride Month. This Pride Month, and every other month, I will continue to stand with the LGBTQ community. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I was back on the Senate floor today to once again call on Sen. McConnell to bring the House-passed #DreamAndPromiseAct to the floor for a vote. The eyes of hundreds of thousands of #Dreamers are on Washington and the Senate right now, but all they see is a legislative graveyard. https://t.co/1F73bo1kla — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This @washingtonpost editorial is exactly right. “It is a dereliction of duty for Congress and the administration not to take up on a most urgent basis the defense of the nation’s democratic process.” Why is Sen. McConnell ignoring these threats? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Joined @AACR this morning to discuss one of the most pressing public health concerns facing our nation’s children today – e-cigarettes & addiction. The FDA should get off the sidelines and address this public health crisis now, before it’s too late. https://t.co/FPPkLhACll — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

RT @AACR: Thank you @SenatorDurbin for sponsoring and providing remarks at the AACR briefing on youth, e-cigarettes, and nicotine addiction… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thought of Acting FDA Commissioner Sharpless last week when I saw this full page ad in Politico. So I sent him a note urging him to do his job & protect our children. https://t.co/TwhMwoHM35 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Is there any humanitarian concern for children on the other side of the aisle? If there was, Sen. McConnell would bring the bipartisan, House-passed #DreamAndPromiseAct to the floor for a vote. End the legislative graveyard & fix the #DACA crisis President Trump created. https://t.co/m0FfYy0HLW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ll be joining @NewDay this morning to talk about immigration and the humanitarian crisis at our borders. Tune in at 8:15 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As IL farmers are dealing with immense stress from the severe flooding and weather, they’re being hit hard by our President’s unpredictable trade strategies. Great to meet w/@ILFarmBureau today to discuss ways we can help farmers make it through these trying times. https://t.co/vFP5QK4OGU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Great meeting today with @lisamurkowski, @NIH, and @iamalsorg to talk about the importance of medical research funding and the need to find new treatments, and a cure, for those living with ALS. https://t.co/RRlcRbtcLm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The UAE must address Mr. Mansoor’s troubling political detention. I joined with colleagues in the Senate to request an update from the UAE’s ambassador to the U.S. on his well-being and plans for his timely release. I look forward to receiving his response. https://t.co/p52FoXJkTd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m deeply concerned by the UAE’s treatment of Ahmed Mansoor, the human rights activist detained as a political prisoner since 2017. Throughout that time, Mr. Mansoor been denied many of the same rights he fought for as an activist – leading to his own arrest. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I went to the Senate floor today to talk about my trip last weekend to Alton and Winchester to see first-hand the effects of the severe flooding there. It did my heart proud to see how many folks have stepped up to fill sandbags and help their neighbors in this time of need. https://t.co/44AdxFBJ4t — PolitiTweet.org

Go @USWNT! #OneTeamOneDream — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We must acknowledge the obvious – Pres. Trump’s immigration and border security policies are a certifiable failure. They are cruelty realized through policy. We must work together on smart, effective, and humane solutions to this crisis. We must have compassion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

And the gaping leadership vacuum at DHS. In less than two and a half years, there have already been four heads of this department. We cannot face this crisis effectively with a revolving door policy in the leadership of DHS. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The blocking of all assistance to Northern Triangle countries – El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras – and shutting down avenues for legal migration, which is only driving more refugees to our border. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The tragic deaths of six children who were apprehended at the border and of 24 people being held in immigration detention centers. And now public reports of attempted suicides by detainees being held in abject inhumane conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The longest government shutdown in the history of the United States, which paralyzed our immigration courts for six long weeks in the midst of an immigration crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The disastrous separation of infants, toddlers, and young children from their families left them to wonder if they’d ever see their parents again – only to finally be stopped by the courts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The termination of Temporary Protected Status endangers another 300,000 immigrants, further proving this President’s aversion to immigrants fleeing violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The repeal of #DACA threatens 800,000 young immigrants with deportation to countries that they barely remember, forcing them to live in fear as their lives hang in the balance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Muslim travel ban created chaos at airports across the United States and continues to separate thousands of American families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

What we’re seeing at our borders is not just bad luck. Make no mistake – President Trump takes pride in being the most anti-immigrant president in modern history and his border security strategy is a cruel and dismal failure. Let’s look at the “highlights.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Net Neutrality is essential to a free and open internet. Unfortunately, Leader McConnell would rather bury another bill in his legislative graveyard than allow a vote on the #SaveTheInternetAct. https://t.co/xsTKAfau3d — PolitiTweet.org
