This is a discriminatory policy that unfairly targets transgender Americans and drags our military backwards. If you meet the basic requirements to serve in our military, you should be able to do so. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Today the Senate votes on the nomination of Neomi Rao to serve on the D.C. Circuit Court for life. She has minimal… https://t.co/i3J2XUDFEt — PolitiTweet.org

For years, I’ve been concerned about the possible negative health effects of pet coke on Chicago’s southeast side. I reintroduced a bill today with @SenDuckworth and @RepRobinKelly that would require a federal study into the potential health risks. — PolitiTweet.org

Respected Venezuelan journalist Luis Carlos Díaz should be immediately released. Those involved in his shameful arrest put themselves at risk of further international sanction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke to EPA Administrator Wheeler w/@SenDuckworth today. Unacceptably high emissions of cancer-causing EtO in our air isn't something he can wait to address, and we made it clear that Illinoisans are looking for him to protect their families now. — PolitiTweet.org

This is past-due, and now it’s imperative the E15 rule be implemented before June. IL farmers are frustrated with continually shouldering the economic uncertainty of decisions made by the Trump Administration. https://t.co/l8NziaahW0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, Senate Republicans and the White House decided to ignore the objections of New Jersey’s two Senators and plowed right through with the controversial nomination of Paul Matey to serve on the 3rd Circuit. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

.@SenDuckworth and I spoke to IDVA Director Chapa LaVia and IDPH Director Dr. Ezike about addressing Legionnaires’ disease at our State Veterans’ Homes, as well as ethylene oxide emissions at medical sterilization facilities in DuPage and Lake Counties. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to have @RepTedDeutch introduce this bill in the House. We hope our colleagues will support this effort, which would help our children inherit a livable planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

President Trump and most Republicans in Congress still don’t take climate change seriously. I introduced this bill because I believe climate change is one of the gravest threats mankind faces, period. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I introduced a bill that would create a bond program to fund efforts combating climate change. Similar to the war bonds effort started by our government during WWII, this bill would involve Americans in the government’s efforts to fight the impacts of climate change. https://t.co/8MLrQDJUJt — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a happy birthday to my friend, @SenDuckworth. Lucky to serve alongside such a great public servant for Illinois families. https://t.co/VuMMofaznq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the last month, we have seen several Illinois law enforcement officers shot in the line of duty. Read Becki Keltner’s heartbreaking letter about the loss of her husband Jacob. Illinois has lost a good man and a selfless public servant to our epidemic of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After a disastrous 35 day shutdown, and the Senate slated to reject his national emergency declaration, the fact President Trump would request $8.6 billion for his beloved border wall – while cutting $5 billion in medical research from NIH & $1.3 billion from CDC – is an outrage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Amy and her daughter are one of many families impacted by life-threatening allergies. Thanks to @ChiPubSchools for giving families assurance that they have the tools needed to address the life-or-death health needs of our students https://t.co/dJnwxByHvW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to have helped @ChiPubSchools obtain an expedited batch of EpiPens for students during a nationwide shortage. Life-saving drugs are only life-saving if patients can access them, which is why I continue to fight for affordable & accessible medications https://t.co/xufbkVQCaE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Read my letter with @SenatorLeahy and @brianschatz that asks @USGAO for a legal opinion on the President’s attempt to end-run the appropriations process and pull funds from our military to build his beloved wall: https://t.co/drqokdFqW3 — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenDuckworth and I are pressing for back pay for contractors who lost wages during the #TrumpShutdown. Contract workers and their families shouldn’t be penalized for something that they did nothing to cause. — PolitiTweet.org
