President Trump is totally dazzled by authoritarians like Putin, Kim Jong-Un, and MBS, but refuses to recognize that these leaders willingly undermine our elections & American values abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

Saddened by the tragic factory explosion in Lake County this weekend. My heart is with the victims, their families, friends, and community. My office has been in contact with EPA about the explosion & will help however possible. https://t.co/Jtc1nfjNjA — PolitiTweet.org

To add insult to injury, they combined white supremacist violence with so-called “Black identity extremist” violence, which law enforcement leaders say is a phony term that unfairly targets African Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I blew the whistle on the Trump Administration because they have stopped tracking white supremacist attacks as a separate category of domestic terrorism. https://t.co/S4qEThOS9w — PolitiTweet.org

This is a tragedy. We must improve access to health care, improve the quality of care provided to pregnant women, enhance supports for women and babies after birth, improve data collection, and address implicit bias in health care. — PolitiTweet.org

FACT: Women and babies of color in this country are significantly more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. In IL, black women are 6 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. — PolitiTweet.org

FACT: U.S. has highest maternal and infant mortality rates among developed nations – we lose more than 700 women every year, and 23,000 babies. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve teamed up with @RepRobinKelly and @RepUnderwood on the #MOMMAact to help reduce maternal health disparities. https://t.co/oyGPpZl4ME — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @SenTedCruz to intro a resolution supporting peaceful transfer of power in Sudan. The Sudanese people deserve U.S. and international support in undertaking a credible democratic transition after years of genocide and oppression. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been working for years to close the legal loopholes that have allowed war criminals to find safe haven in our country. Republicans and Democrats in Congress have a responsibility to come together on a bipartisan basis to finish the job. https://t.co/M1D9zKUJfD — PolitiTweet.org

OPM's new proposed rule would disqualify people who deserve an equal shot at federal employment opportunities. The Trump Administration shouldn't undercut bipartisan #cjreform efforts: https://t.co/ck0wkZjOcp — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time for Republicans to realize that our dependency on fossil fuels needs to end, and that investments in clean and renewable energy are essential to preserve the planet as we know it and to keep the United States the global leader in technology and innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. Look for these signs in those around you. Then show you care. Start a conversation. Changes in behavior: • Hopelessness • Acting withdrawn • Agitation • Poor self-care https://t.co/1abD9N9O1v — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll continue to support #homecare workers and their right to fight for higher wages, training, & basic benefits as they provide our loved ones with quality care. #RiseUpHomeCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In August, I sent a letter opposing a new rule denying #homecare workers the choice to join together in strong unions and their ability to spend their wages the way they choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Given AG Barr’s statements and actions with respect to Mueller's investigation, his credibility and independence are in doubt. For that reason, he must recuse himself from any ongoing investigations involving evidence referred by the special counsel’s office. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If the industries that fueled this opioid crisis are held to account for the damage they have caused, their restitution should be devoted to helping our nation heal. Read more from @SenSherrodBrown and me: https://t.co/Zfnl2hclV4 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @SenatorMenendez, @SenBlumenthal, and @maziehirono on this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the wake of the Mueller Report’s findings, I joined my colleagues in introducing a bill to provide federal resources to state & local jurisdictions to update their voting equipment & procedures. Illinoisans and all Americans should have confidence in our democratic process. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it's the burden of gun violence in Chicago or the ripple effects of the opioid epidemic in Huntington, WV a generation of youth & families are subjected to daily trauma—which can literally alter their brain chemistry. But with early action, training & support, we can help — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Last year @SenCapito and I worked to create a task force of federal agencies to address childhood trauma. But we haven’t seen any progress yet – yesterday we wrote to HHS urging swift implementation in order to help kids nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: White supremacist violence is on the rise, but the Trump Administration has stopped tracking it as a separate category of domestic terrorism. Read my letter with @CoryBooker to AG Bill Barr on this outrage: https://t.co/lzY1hBJdqR — PolitiTweet.org

In 2005 when I joined the Senate Leadership, R.D. became part of not just my Senate family, but my family. On behalf of myself, my staff, and my family, I want to thank him for his many years of service in the Capitol Police. https://t.co/e7W1CKCkla — PolitiTweet.org
