I admire Evgenia's tireless advocacy to bring her husband, Russia dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza, home. During our meeting, we reflected on his fight for democracy & the urgency of his and Alexei Navalny’s patriotic struggle for a more free and peaceful Russia. https://t.co/ovAd0NUqVD — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s criminal acts in Ukraine represent a dark chapter in history. Yet Ukraine's resilience is unparalleled. I met with members of Ukraine's Parliament to reiterate that we will continue to provide equipment, tighten economic pressure on Putin, & assist Ukrainian refugees. https://t.co/Bi0Snr7T2h — PolitiTweet.org

We promised our veterans that if they risked their lives for our nation, we wouldn't leave them behind. Today, the Senate honored that promise by passing the bipartisan PACT Act to provide health care for veterans exposed to toxic chemicals & burn pits during their service. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm on the Senate floor speaking to today's @JudiciaryDems vote to advance President Biden's pick to lead ATF—the primary agency when it comes to responding to our nation's gun violence epidemic—& the urgent need to come together to make our nation safer. https://t.co/2txAeWZe8t — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been ten years since President Obama heeded my calls and announced DACA. I’m speaking live on the Senate floor to mark this anniversary and call on Congress to finally step up and provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. WATCH: https://t.co/OUOrE1uj7s — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: after every horrific shooting, there is a debate over whether one reform or another could have prevented the last shooting. But it’s too late to prevent the last shooting. We need to act to #ProtectOurKids and prevent the next shooting. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Last year, we lost a wonderful young Chicago police officer—Ella French—who was gunned down by a straw-purchased weapon. Any shooting—whether it happens in a school in Texas or in a neighborhood in Chicago—leaves ripple effects that haunt our communities &, especially, our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, we mark the 10th anniversary of DACA. As we celebrate all of the good that has come out of this program, we must also continue our call for Congress to finally pass the #DreamAct and give Dreamers a pathway to citizenship. #WithDACA https://t.co/dGRRvbedn7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Dream Act has the support of a bipartisan majority, but a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers has been filibustered 5 times. What we need now is more Senators who are willing to step up and speak up for solving immigration. — PolitiTweet.org

Sending my deepest sympathies to @RepCasten and his family after the tragic loss of his daughter, Gwen. I will keep you in my prayers during this heartbreaking time. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm fortunate to represent a strong Puerto Rican community in IL that supports a democratic process to determine Puerto Rico’s future. With the Puerto Rican Self-Determination Act that I've cosponsored, 3M Puerto Rican residents would have a chance to decide their own future. — PolitiTweet.org

Maduro and his criminal enablers continue their cowardly efforts to prevent a democratic and free Venezuela. I condemn this barbaric attack on Interim President Guaidó. — PolitiTweet.org

Following last month’s disappointing decision by @Boeing to move their headquarters from Chicago, @SenDuckworth and I met with Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun today to express our disappointment and urge him to stick by his commitment to maintain a strong presence in Illinois. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We've been elected to the United States Senate to respond to American crises. Though this agreement falls short of where I would like us to be, each of the elements in this bipartisan gun safety package has the potential to save lives. We should move forward on it without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This bipartisan package contains an important provision that will clamp down on these killer purchasers and hold those who break the law responsible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I have been pushing for tougher penalties to help reduce illicit gun trafficking and straw purchases, which fuel violent crime in Chicago and cities across the country. — PolitiTweet.org
