Leader McConnell has turned the Senate into a legislative graveyard. It’s been more than 100 days since #VAWA expired, and 48 since the House reauthorized it. Why is Leader McConnell waiting to pass this critical bill that supports survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
I led 24 Dem Senators on letter to @ICRC & DHS IG asking for investigations into the conditions at CBP detention facilities at the border that are dangerously overcrowded. Five children have died in the last six months after being apprehended at the border. This has to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Too many kids in Chicago and nationwide carry this burden of trauma and too often, there’s not a helping hand for them to cope and thrive. The science tells us that this can harm healthy development and academic success, and feed into a cycle of violence and poverty. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Today @USGAO released a report that @RepDannyDavis and I requested that said states face challenges in supporting children who experience trauma. Last year, we passed a bill to support kids facing trauma & we will soon introduce bipartisan legislation to expand our efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

These are separate issues. America’s infrastructure and the jobs it would create have now been delayed indefinitely. Democrats stand ready to work. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
President Trump walked into his Cabinet Room and told the Democratic leaders he had invited to discuss infrastructure that the meeting was canceled. He objected to the ongoing Congressional investigation of his alleged obstruction of justice. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Can the President walk and chew gum at the same time? He writes that we cannot create jobs by building our infrastructure until we pass trade agreements. Makes no sense. Put America to work, Mr. President. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenDuckworth and I introduced a resolution with our Democratic colleagues supporting women’s reproductive rights, including the right to safe, legal abortion in the U.S. #StopTheBans https://t.co/nxadglzlHf — PolitiTweet.org

A bipartisan group of Senators joined me today on a bill that would protect children from lead poisoning in federal housing. There's nothing more important than ensuring the health and safety of our children. It's unacceptable kids continue to be at risk from lead poisoning. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see my State of the Union guest, Toby Hauck, and his fellow Illinois air traffic controllers. These men and women work stressful, long hours to keep Americans safe in the air. Thankful for their dedication and federal service. https://t.co/gpdNeCli0u — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to abortion, North Carolina district court nominee Kenneth Bell once wrote in an op-ed, “there is no middle ground.” Senate Republicans advanced his nomination today, rubber stamping yet another judicial nominee with extreme ideological views. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Administration’s confrontational policy with Iran runs the risk of escalation to deadly levels. Talking tough on a tweet is easy. Living with the grim reality of war is not. — PolitiTweet.org

The overuse of solitary confinement violates human rights & wastes taxpayer dollars. It makes us all less safe because most prisoners will be eventually released into our communities. Congress should pass my Solitary Confinement Reform Act to restrict this inhumane practice. — PolitiTweet.org

State abortion bans are a systematic effort by Republicans to restrict women's reproductive rights and overturn #RoeVWade. Women should have the last word when it comes to their own bodies, their own lives, and their own pregnancies. #StopTheBans https://t.co/2NjhCHJK5C — PolitiTweet.org

Leonard Leo’s efforts to tilt our federal judiciary to benefit corporate, right-wing interests on behalf of a group of secret, ultra-wealthy donors is alarming and as shady as it gets. We need to be able to follow the money. — PolitiTweet.org

Utah district court nominee Howard Nielson – whom the Senate will vote on today - wrote a memo for the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel arguing that the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit torture, do not apply to civilians captured abroad. #StopNielson — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
Junk plans hurt people with pre-existing conditions and don’t cover basic health care needs. The Trump Administration wants to peddle them to you, but @SenateDems won’t let that happen. It’s why we introduced a bill today to ban them. #NoJunkPlans https://t.co/8YD5tFOxPj — PolitiTweet.org

Youth employment programs can help lower poverty, crime, and violence. While Leader McConnell has made the Senate a legislative graveyard, I think it’s essential that we pass these bills in both Chambers. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The HERO for At-Risk Youth Act would encourage the business community to become a partner in addressing this crisis by hiring at-risk youth that reside in communities with high rates of poverty. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
The Creating Pathways for Youth Employment Act will make it easier for local governments and community organizations to apply directly for federal funding to create and expand summer and year-round employment programs for young people. — PolitiTweet.org

For youth of color, joblessness is especially chronic and concentrated: 17.9 percent of Black youth and 13.2 percent of Hispanic youth between the ages of 16-24 were out of school and out of work nationally in 2017. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
In 2017, 4.5 million low-income 16 to 24 year-olds in the United States were both out of school and out of work. In Illinois, the number of unemployed and out of school youth ages 20 to 24 was 15.3 percent in 2017, and in Chicago, the rate was 19.4 percent. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin
A job can make the difference between a safe & successful life, and one that takes a turn towards violence & crime. @SenDuckworth, @RepRobinKelly, and I reintroduced bills to increase federal resources for communities looking to provide employment opportunities for their youth. — PolitiTweet.org

#WomensHealthMonth has coincided with extreme Republican rollbacks of women’s health care and reproductive rights. These restrictive laws are a direct attack on #RoeVWade. — PolitiTweet.org
