Our trip also happened to coincide with the major announcement that Turkey will drop its opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO. With these two nations in NATO, the organization will be much stronger and all the more prepared to counter Putin’s aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In Sweden yesterday with a bipartisan group of Senators to discuss the nation’s aspirations to join NATO and further emphasize the United States’ support for NATO as a whole. https://t.co/n78tL0tfdN — PolitiTweet.org

This bipartisan request for information will help inform the Committee about the impact of this antitrust exemption, especially when it comes to Minor League and international prospects. We need to make sure that all professional ballplayers get to play on a fair and level field. — PolitiTweet.org

Praying for all of those who lost their lives or were injured in this horrible tragedy. We must end the scourge of human smuggling and honor our legal and moral obligation to protect migrants who come to our borders seeking safe haven. — PolitiTweet.org

Praying for all those involved and affected by this tragedy. My office is closely monitoring the situation and ready to step in and help however we can. https://t.co/1SY37yTDo9 — PolitiTweet.org

.@Tsihanouskaya is a true Belarusian patriot, determined to see a peaceful and democratic future for her people, free from the yoke of Lukashenko and his puppet master Putin. Her husband Sergei should be immediately released from jail and free elections scheduled without delay. https://t.co/3lsBSK4u4M — PolitiTweet.org

As brave Lithuanians taught us nearly thirty years ago, and as we see across battlefields in Ukraine today, no number of tanks amount of terror can suppress forever a people who are determined to be free. My full speech to the @LRSeimas: https://t.co/k2Re0HO0ft — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As the son of a Lithuanian immigrant, it was an honor to receive the Aleksandras Stulginskis Star from the @LRSeimas today. Lithuania—and all of our NATO Baltic allies—need our continued support to stand up to Putin. I'll continue to do everything I can to make sure they get it. — PolitiTweet.org

A 5 month old shot in the head and killed. 3 people shot at the WeatherTech warehouse. All within 12 hours of each other. While the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act will help make our nation safer, these shootings show we can't stop now. We must continue this bipartisan dialogue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tragically, this morning’s SCOTUS ruling will only worsen our nation’s maternal health crisis. I will keep fighting to ensure a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices, as well as fighting to reduce racial disparities in maternal and infant health. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The U.S. is one of only 13 countries in the world where the maternal mortality rate is worse now than it was 25 years ago. The tragedy of maternal mortality is more pronounced when considering women of color are 3x more likely than White women to die as a result of pregnancy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Despite today’s devastating news, erasing a constitutional right, it was an honor welcoming @VP to IL w/ @RepUnderwood and @RepRobinKelly. We met with maternal health care providers & discussed the maternal health crisis, as well as the grim fallout from today's SCOTUS decision. https://t.co/0IL3cviqll — PolitiTweet.org

...providers in states eager to embrace draconian restrictions. I will keep fighting to enshrine into law a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices. We cannot let our children inherit a nation that is less free and more dangerous than the one their parents grew up in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

@JudiciaryDems will explore the grim reality of a post-Roe America in a hearing next month. The Court’s decision to erase the right to an abortion will not only lead to the denial of critical health care services, but also criminal consequences for women & health care... — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The bottom line: on critical, personal choices involving a woman’s right to make reproductive decisions about her own body, do you trust her or the gov't? The Supreme Court now says a woman’s right to privacy does not extend to the most personal, private choice she'll ever face. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today’s decision eliminates a federally protected constitutional right that has been the law for nearly half a century. As a result, millions of Americans are waking up in a country where they have fewer rights than their parents and grandparents. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thoughts and prayers AND action. To all the families across America who mourn the loss of a gun victim, this bill offers more than sympathy—it offers hope. Let’s make this the beginning, not the end, of this lifesaving bipartisan dialogue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The more we can support Ukraine, the better. I continue to support the Biden Administration’s efforts to send security aid to assist the brave Ukrainian freedom fighters as they defend their homeland. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I commend @US_FDA for making the decision to protect public health by removing all JUUL products from the shelves of America. But there is still more we can do to stop Big Tobacco & give our children and grandchildren a happier and healthier future. https://t.co/e4Qn1VRFoM — PolitiTweet.org

For the last 50 years, the Pell Grant Program has been a bedrock of American higher education. As we celebrate half a century of Pell Grants, I urge my colleagues to support low-income students by increasing these grant to cover the full range of modern college expenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In a nation of almost 400 million firearms, this decision is an invitation for more gun deaths and chaos in America’s neighborhoods. Relying on history to justify this conclusion is, as Justice Breyer’s dissent states, unrealistic in an age of 3D printed "ghost guns." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This decision makes it all the more important for Congress to take actionable steps to protect our kids and communities from this nation’s gun violence epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

For years, the gun lobby has told us the way to reduce gun violence is not to pass new gun laws, but to enforce the laws already on the books. At the same time, the gun lobby has been arguing in court to strike down those gun laws on the books. Today, they succeeded. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every day, parents across America are burying children lost to gun violence. And yet, as our nation still mourns the horrific massacres in Uvalde & Buffalo, and as we work to combat the daily toll of gun violence, this decision will make it easier for guns to flood our streets. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Kids and families can breathe easier now that the @US_FDA has finally taken this important step toward fulfilling its public health duty under the law. While long overdue, FDA’s announcement to remove all JUUL products from the market is to be commended. — PolitiTweet.org
