Tens of millions of Americans are plagued by student loan debt in pursuit of a quality education. Today’s announcement by @POTUS is a crucial step to enable low- & middle-income borrowers—especially communities of color—to eliminate their student loan debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I also want to thank @POTUS for his unwavering support for Ukraine. Today’s announcement of an additional $3 billion in security assistance shows that the United States will continue to support Ukraine in their fight for democracy and freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am proud to stand w/ Ukraine on their Independence Day. Amid such barbarism by Putin, the resilience of the Ukrainian people is unparalleled. The Senate will work to continue to provide equipment, tighten economic pressure on Russia, & welcome Ukrainian refugees into the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Waiting for the inventive MAGA minds to rationalize why former President Donald Trump needed to personally seize hundreds of classified documents, including “special access program” materials – some of our government’s most sensitive information. https://t.co/Z86r1gnPWk — PolitiTweet.org

If these claims are accurate, they may show dangerous data privacy & security risks for Twitter users around the world. As Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I will continue investigating this issue and take further steps as needed to get to the bottom of these alarming allegations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The whistleblower’s allegations of widespread security failures at Twitter, willful misrepresentations by top executives to government agencies, and penetration of the company by foreign intelligence raise serious concerns. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

There must be a federal standard. But Senate Republicans continue to block any effort to ensure access to safe and legal abortion and reproductive health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In Dobbs, SCOTUS left to the states the authority to write laws defining reproductive health & criminalizing medical decisions. Face it: Republican state legislators, many times under the political influence of special interests, have created a disastrous and dangerous landscape. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Dr. Fauci has devoted his career and his life to improving public health. He has saved countless lives in the U.S. and around the world. He is an example of American excellence and a brilliant scientific mind. Thank you for everything, Dr. Fauci. You will be missed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

When it comes to crime & gun violence, Chicago faces a challenge that we are addressing by strengthening good policing & effective violence intervention programs. Resources are also going downstate, where several communities are facing crime numbers commensurate with Chicago. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a very happy birthday to the one and only, Sister Jean! — PolitiTweet.org

This should be a warning to other accreditation agencies that have been complicit in the defrauding of students and the fleecing of taxpayers by major #4profit education companies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

ACICS has repeatedly showed that it is not a reliable authority on educational quality, which is why the Obama Admin rescinded its authority in 2016. I commend @usedgov for today’s decision to terminate ACICS’ federal recognition once again after being reinstated by Trump-DeVos. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Over the last few years, our AAPI friends & neighbors have been under increasing attack & the rise in discrimination their community has faced is appalling. Illinois is a better place because of our AAPI community, and we must do everything in our power to support & protect them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I stopped by @CASLmedia to discuss the $1 million in federal funding I secured for the expansion of their Senior Meals Program. This program has been a lifeline throughout COVID-19 for seniors in the Chinatown community & this funding allows them to continue their important work. https://t.co/9rH1koiW7a — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today we welcomed home Chicago Police Officer Danny Golden who was just released from @AbilityLab after a shooting in July left him paralyzed. I'm sending Officer Golden my best wishes as he continues on his road to recovery. https://t.co/VeYpybdsG9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

No one should have to fear for their safety when they attend churches, synagogues, or mosques. Pleased to see @DHSgov take the threat of domestic extremism seriously by providing IL institutions with support to help protect against violent threats. https://t.co/dVBrlUo57o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I secured an additional $1 billion in funding to put more providers in underserved communities across our state and will continue working to find ways the federal government can help support our providers across Illinois. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In Illinois, 30 percent of rural hospitals are in designated “primary care physician shortage areas” and 94 percent are in designated “mental health service shortage areas.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This morning I visited @siusom with @IDPH to hear the challenges facing our rural health workforce. These heroes provided for us in the middle of a pandemic, despite the real risks to themselves. It's imperative we give them the support they need. https://t.co/22qupjTQVW — PolitiTweet.org

Despite Americans feeling the pressure of inflation, Visa & Mastercard keep hiking up the cost of credit card swipe fees, harming small biz & consumers. It's time we keep these fees in check with my bipartisan Credit Card Competition Act. Learn more here: https://t.co/0H1RGFSsKF — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois schools, have you filed your application for the Clean School Bus Program yet? Your district may qualify for the first $500M round of rebates for schools transitioning to low & zero-emission buses this year. Apply before this Friday's deadline: — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden is right. The Inflation Reduction Act is one of the most significant laws in recent history. With this legislation, Democrats stood up for working families, locked in lower health care premiums, & took steps to confront the climate crisis. https://t.co/YvDwb2B6ZV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today @POTUS signs the Inflation Reduction Act into law - lowering prescription drug prices & combating climate change.   The bill is fair, it's paid for, & it lowers the deficit. It meets this moment in our history. It's exactly what American families need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It's Ag Day at the @ILStateFair. Agriculture is one of Illinois' largest industries and this morning I joined state leaders and lawmakers to celebrate the critical contributions that our farmers provide our state. https://t.co/KErD0u5VLs — PolitiTweet.org
