That’s why I joined @SenatorLeahy, @SenatorCardin, and @SenSherrodBrown today to introduce a resolution in support of the people of Guatemala as they prepare to exercise their right to vote. The people of Guatemala deserve free, fair, and transparent elections. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The Trump Administration’s decision to cut assistance to Guatemala & indifference to anti-corruption efforts were short-sighted & undermined attempts to address the underlying causes of poverty there. The next President of Guatemala must be committed to addressing these issues. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today, I introduced the RISE from Trauma Act with @SenCapito, @SenDuckworth, @lisamurkowski, and @RepDannyDavis to address the ripple effect that trauma can have on children. Our bill will provide the resources and support to help children be resilient and thrive in the future. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Without help, trauma can impact long-term mental and physical health, disrupt school success, and feed into the cycle of violence, addiction, and poverty in our communities. Nationwide, nearly 35 million children have had at least one traumatic experience. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Responding to violence in our communities requires us to recognize the impact that traumatic experiences can have on our children. Trauma - such as witnessing violence, abuse, or a drug overdose - can harm brain development & cause emotional scars that follow a child for life. — PolitiTweet.org

We must do better for our veterans, service members, and their families. We can’t let this invitation to exploit our veterans and service members to continue. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Our bill will fix the current loophole that allows for-profit colleges to receive an unlimited amount of their revenue from federal taxpayers by enrolling veterans and service members. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
For-profit colleges shouldn’t be invited to exploit our veterans and service members, especially not because of some loophole in the law. That’s why I teamed up with @RepCohen to introduce the Protecting Our Students and Taxpayers (POST) Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is a legitimate threat to our national security and yet, this Administration continues to ignore the facts and science behind it time and time again. — PolitiTweet.org

We must also remember that, though this was a historic moment of progress in our nation’s history, it didn’t end the struggle for voting rights – especially for women of color. We still have work left to do to ensure that every American enjoys equal access to the ballot box. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
100 years ago today, Illinois joined Wisconsin and Michigan as the first states to ratify the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. As we celebrate this historic day, we honor the brave suffragettes who continue to serve as an inspiration to so many of us. https://t.co/qBmYYZIKAW — PolitiTweet.org

In Illinois, moms make just 68 cents for every dollar earned by fathers. The gap is even wider for moms of color in Illinois, with Black mothers earning just 52 cents and Latina mothers only 41 cents for every dollar a white father makes. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
It’s unacceptable that 56 years have passed since the passage of the Equal Pay Act and we’re still struggling to close the wage gap. #MomsEqualPayDay is a reminder that Congress needs to pass the #PaycheckFairness Act to address this problem and help working mothers. https://t.co/Mhvixh7ZUi — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Why does Sen. McConnell continue to stand in the way of commonsense legislation to protect our nation’s elections? My DETER Act w/@LindseyGrahamSC was a small, important step forward, but there is much more to do and the Senate has become little more than a legislative graveyard. — PolitiTweet.org

But we have to expect another flood. In Washington, we have to think ahead and help our communities to be resilient and have mitigation efforts in place in the face of increasing extreme weather events. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Alton is experiencing its longest period of flooding since 1927. I’m thankful for the amazing volunteers and cooperation among local, state, and federal officials who are helping people up and down the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. https://t.co/cJCrtmDzJK — PolitiTweet.org

My statement with @RepChuyGarcia on the latest brutal chapter in the Syrian civil war in Idlib: https://t.co/plk8SCtKr0 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Received a briefing from IEMA, IDOT, the Army Corps, and National Guard at the State’s Unified Area Command Center in Winchester on the efforts to protect communities along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Thank you to the men and women engaged in flood-fighting efforts. https://t.co/1qMwqn34i6 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The flooding in Alton is serious, but I am heartened by the efforts of local officials, IEMA, the Army Corps, the National Guard, and volunteers on the ground working to help keep the community safe. https://t.co/90kfRp3NYZ — PolitiTweet.org

These reckless tariffs are hurting our economy & devastating our nation’s farmers. Like USDA’s own economists have said – it will take years for farmers in Illinois and across the nation to recover. — PolitiTweet.org

This evening I visited the Global Garden Refugee Training Farm. Founded by 42 refugee families from Burma and Bhutan, they aim to improve access to fresh vegetables for newly-arrived refugee families and their urban neighbors. https://t.co/4mJ8X8uVmc — PolitiTweet.org

It was humbling to hear Cameroonian refugees tell their stories on fleeing the violence in their home country with @JanSchakowsky. Thank you to the Kovler Center for the work you do to aid in the recovery of torture victims. https://t.co/rjLc4CSFb5 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to #WearOrange today in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and the tens of thousands of Americans who are killed each year by gunfire. We must take action to end the epidemic of gun violence in this nation. https://t.co/EepS33r9iC — PolitiTweet.org
